season Rotary to provide Fire extended 24/7 AED access Coonabarabran Rotary Club is pushing ahead with an initiative that is proven to save lives.

by CHRIS WARD A census conducted by the club has revealed there are a total of 20 Automated E x te r na l D e f i b r i l l a t o r s ( A E D s) within the town’s limits.

Unfortunately, access to all of those are limited only to business hours.

But the Rotary Club is looking to change that and already has funding for one defibrillator and is hoping to raise enough for a second.

The additional d e f i b r i l l a to r s w i l l b e positioned around Coonabarabran where they will be easily accessible by the general public at any time.

Rota r y’s J o W i l k i n , who has assisted with the initiative, said it was important for residents to be aware of the location of the life-saving devices.

“You might be surprised by where the AEDs are located in town,” Mrs Wilkin said.

“You’ll probably find you’re walking past a few of them each day and you’re not even aware of it.

“Our goal is to educate people on where they are located and also provide some that are available

all the time, because medical emergencies can happen at any time.

“We have identified a couple of locations where new AEDs could go, but we’re also open to input and suggestions from the public.”

M r s W i l k i n sa i d the only requirements were that there needed to be s he lte r, a h i g h pedestrian traffic area and accessible 24/7.

The information that was gathe red du r i ng the Census will also be uploaded and available on the phone app Heart of the N at i on, w h i ch discloses all the known locations of AEDs. The project will also include larger and more v i s i b l e s i g n s po i nt i ng out the location of the devices.

Mrs Wilkin urged people to get in contact

w ith the Rota r y Cl ub fo r a s s i s ta nce to g et AEDs installed at their businesses or facilities in town.

On average, 55 Australians suffer from a cardiac arrest every day.

If they are not already in a hospital, less than eight per cent will survive. That rate jumps incredibly to 70 per cent if a defibrillator is used within three minutes of a

cardiac arrest.

Signs of someone suffering from a cardiac arrest include the victim being unconscious, unable to respond and unable to breathe or move.

Dial 000 immediately and star t CPR. A defibrillator should be applied as soon as possible to restar t the heart.

With an increased risk of grass fires continuing across large parts of the state, the bush fire danger period is being extended in 44 local government areas across NSW, including Warrumbungle and Gilgandra Shires.

Commissioner of the Rural Fire Service (RFS), Rob Rogers said the end of March normally marks the end of the bush fire danger period, but with high fuel loads and warmer-than-average temperatures, fire restrictions will continue in many areas.

“In the last month alone, firefighters have worked on more than 850 bush and grass fires burning over 66,000 hectares,” Commissioner Rogers said.

“Fire activity in March accounts for almost 50 per cent of the hectares burnt across the whole fire season.

“Unfortunately, eight homes, 15 outbuildings and hundreds of livestock have been lost across fire grounds, however, hundreds more homes and buildings have been saved due to the actions of firefighters and landholders.”

Commissioner Rogers said research commissioned by the RFS showed one in two people in NSW have taken action to prepare their property for the threat of bush and grass fire.

“I remind all landholders and residents of the need to have a well prepared property and importantly discuss their bush fire survival plan and know what they’ll do if threatened by fire,” he said.

“Fire Permits are no longer required for those in areas outside the Bush Fire Danger Period. For those in areas where the Bush Fire Danger Period has been extended, fire permits will still be required and you must notify neighbours and local fire authorities 24 hours before lighting up.

“Given the prevailing dry conditions, it is vital when conducting a burn on your property it is safe to do so and make sure that you comply with the rules, even if you have conducted burns on your property for years.

“Don’t be the fire risk to your community, know your obligations if conducting burns and know the costs if you do the wrong thing, but most importantly, if a fire does get out of hand, make sure you report it immediately to Triple Zero (000)”

Baradine dips into pool debate Dirty facilities and lack of appropriate supervision at the Baradine Swimming Pool has some disgruntled residents up in arms.

Concern regarding t he app a r e nt l a c k o f clea n l i ness a nd po ol management at the facility were voiced by attendees at the community c o n s u lt at i o n me e t i n g with Warrumbungle Shire Council held in Baradine on Tuesday, 28 March.

The complaints add to

the ongoing discussion on the condition and poor ma i nt ena nce of Sh i re pools, as reported in the 23 March issue of the Coonabarabran Times.

C r i t i c i s m o f g r i my pool water, damage to the toilets and showers, rubbish left strewn on floors and outdoor seats

littered with bird excretion were expressed by some appalled pool users.

R esident s sa id that they expect the pool and a men it ie s t o b e kept clean and that there is no excuse not to keep it clean, especially as school ch i ld ren have reg u la r le s s on s at t he pu bl ic

The state of pool amenities has generated criticism from Baradine residents.

facility.

“There has been dirt and grime in the pool water, toilets and showers just don’t seem to be cleaned and the bench seats are not wiped down; some are covered in bird defecation,” said one resident, who did not wished to be named.

“We understand that the

amenities are getting old, but cleanliness is essential in a public facility like this.

“As far as I am aware t her e i s v i r t u a l ly no supervision and members of t he publ ic a r e not being asked to sign the attendance book.

“This means that there

is no accurate recording of pool usage for the season.”

A nother resident complained about children either scaling the perimeter fence to access the pool or being let in the gate by users.

“This brings up concerns over young children being at the pool unattended

by an adult; it is a safety issue,” they said.

“The swimming pool is a valued public facility in our town, and we want it to be used, but the standard just has to improve.”

Warrumbungle Shire Council indicated that they would take the complaints on notice and investigate.

Some residents have expressed concern regarding the dirty pool water at Baradine.

Eye in the sky – drone an invasion of privacy Local residents fear some drone operators are not flying by the rules, causing a disturbing invasion of privacy.

by CHRIS WARD Several Coonabarabran residents have expressed the concern that their privacy is being invaded by people operating drones in residential areas of town.

A drone that is believed to be equipped with a recording device has been witnessed on several occasions recently, hover i ng a rou nd the western end of Cassilis Street and neighbouring properties.

Jessica Ford, who lives in the vicinity, has witnessed the drone lurking around homes and said she had a close encounter with it on the afternoon of Monday, 27 March.

“My three kids were in the backyard playing and my eldest came running inside and yelled out that the drone was out the back,” she said.

“I went out and it was hovering about five to six metres off the ground, over the kids playing on the trampoline. “ It’s a gross thought that the wrong people controlling these drones are capturing young children in their backyards.”

Ms Ford said she wasn’t aware what the laws were in regards to the situation,

but said she held numerous concerns about the use of drones over private homes.

“We don’t know what they are using the drone for,” she said.

“First of all it’s a worry if they are filming kids in their backyards, but what

if someone is using the drone to find out if people are home and they can then go break in?

“Or they could be looking for vulnerable people like elderly residents living alone.

“It’s a bit scary to be

honest.”

T he C i v i l Av i at i o n Safety Authority has a set of rules for recreational drone operators.

Among the guidelines includes the following rules: You must keep your drone at least 30 metres away

from other people; you must keep your drone within visual line-of-sight; and you must respect personal privacy and not record or photograph people without their consent.

Fines of up to $1375 can be issued per offence.

Lyla, Aurora and Bo McKernan point out where they recently saw the drone flying over them while they were playing in their backyard.

NAPLAN explained Snakes alive at town library

With this year’s NAPLAN examinations finishing up on Monday, 27 March, let’s take a look at what the exams actually entail and some of the recent changes.

by JIMMY WHALAN T he National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), is an annual assessment used to me a s u r e t he l it e r a c y and numeracy skills of students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, providing data to identify areas where students m ight need extra support or learning resources.

T he tests cover four areas: reading, writing, l a n g u age c onvent ion s (sp el l i n g, g r a m m a r, punctuation), and numeracy.

T he s e t e s t s d o n o t determine overall academic ability, but the results can be harnessed t o m o n it o r t r e nd s i n st udent ach ievement s over time, helping to inform decisions for i mpr ovements t o Australian education.

NAPLAN results only pr ov ide a snapshot of st udent ach ievement s a nd resu lts shou ld be inter preted cautiously as there are many other factors that contribute to a student’s success.

It is also important to take into consideration t h e m a ny c h a l l e n g e s faced by school students in recent years.

From fires to f loods, plagues, and the twists a nd tu r ns of a globa l pandemic, students have had it tougher than most.

Changes to NAPLAN T here have also been changes made to NAPLAN this year.

In addition to NA PL A N’s new format a s a c o mp u t e r - b a s e d t e s t r at h e r t h a n t h e trad itiona l penci l and paper test, 1.3 million Australian students sat their NAPLAN tests early this year, straying from the usual dates in May. The date was changed to provide teachers with

results earlier, helping to inform teaching practices and focuses for the remainder of the year.

But it wasn’t just a change of date.

There will also be a change from the previous 10 - b a n d s y s t e m t h at assesses students’ literacy and numeracy skills to a four-band system.

These four bands will be: ‘exceeding’, ‘strong’, ‘developing’, and ‘needs additional support’.

According to Central Queensland (CQ) University, the change to the band system will potentially lure parents i nt o a f a l s e s e n s e o f a c h ie v eme nt i n t he i r c h i ld r en u nde r t he s e br o ader, le s s sp e c i f ic categories.

Professor Ken Purnell at CQ University said there was a lack of compa rabi l ity of 2 023 and future NAPLAN data with previous years.

“The 2023 proficiency standard requires a higher level of achievement than the pr ev ious n at ion a l minimum standard,” he said.

P rofessor P urnell argues that rather than making more changes to NAPLAN, it may be time to rethink NAPLAN and find better ways to support Australian teachers and students.

“I would prefer NA PL A N resources be used on enhancing the teaching workforce for the benefit of the achievements and wellness – including mental health – for all Australian students,” Prof Purnell said.

New testing program In addition to all these changes, another schooltesting program has been introduced.

T he National Assessment Plan (NAP) is an opt-in program for Year 6 and Year 10 students that will be phased in,

beginning with Science in 2 024 , Civ ics and Citizenship in 2025, and Digital Literacy in 2026.

T he results of these tests will also be publicly reported by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA).

Professor Purnell said that he doubts any of these changes will provide any real value.

“Are the changes worth it? For some the answer is ‘yes, absolutely’. But for many, it is a resounding ‘no’!”

Professor Purnell added that these changes would simply exacerbat e the ongoing annual burden on Australian students, schools, and parents and carers.

School comments Coonabarabran Public School (CPS) principal, Lucy Evans said that, as a school, CPS worked hard to prepare students for N A P L A N , de spit e t h e m a ny c h a l l e n g e s faced, including having t o c omplet e t he t e st s online as opposed to the trad itiona l penci l and paper test. “ We use a variety of assessments as suggested by the Department of Education and ou r s t a f f u nde r s t a nd the importance of triangulating this with t he N A P L A N d at a t o ensure we get the full picture of the child and their achievements,” Mrs Evans said. “ O u r students tr ied their best in our recent N A P L A N a nd we a r e look i ng for wa rd t o a n improvement i n ou r results.”

Coonabarabran High School (CHS) principal, Mary Doolan said NA PL A N was just one d iag nostic t ool used i n s cho ol s t o supp or t improvements.

“It captures one aspect

of a very broad canvas of learning in our school,” Ms Doolan said.

“A t C o o n a b a r a br a n H igh , f r om Ye a r 7 t o Year 12, the trajectory is positive growth as we consistently value-add to our students’ capacity to learn and acquire new skills and knowledge.”

St Lawrence’s Primary School principal, Natasha Milford said changes to NAPLAN including the change to online testing as well as the earlier date, created a bit of a roller coaster for students. “ With a l l of these factors in play, it will be interesting to watch student and school progress over the next few years,” Ms Milford said. “ O ver t he p a s t few years, St Lawrence’s has implemented programs to lift grammar in our school and last year we implemented strategies to raise the profile of writing with our students.

“During 2023, numeracy is our focus a rea a nd so we w i l l await the 2024 NAPLAN results, along with other results to see if we have hit the mark.”

Ms Milford added that it was important to always remember that NAPLAN was just one test on one day for students and that many factors came into play. “ NA PL A N is a good measu re t o compa re ou r s cho ol t o si m i l a r schools to see how we are progressing in these areas, but NAPLAN does not take into account all of a student’s gifts and talents.

“Our students are to be congratulated for the way they approached the assessments in 2023 and we look forward to using the results, along with other assessments to keep a check on our students’ progress.”

Reptile handler and rescuer Steve Wallace gave an interactive demonstration at the Coonabarabran Library on Monday, 3 April. Students and teachers alike were mesmerised by this carpet python, among other fascinating rehabilitated reptiles.

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap • Cattle yardings for Q1 2023 remain above Q1 2022 despite flooding conditions • Some good quality offerings for lambs have helped to strengthen prices • Cattle slaughter reached its highest level since December 2020, with extremely strong slaughter figures in northern Queensland.

Cattle The Western Young Cattle Indicator (WYCI) softened 61¢ week-onweek as prices from the Mount Barker sale eased nearly 67¢, below the usually-softer Muchea sale. This was mostly due to the limited yarding and mixed quality at the saleyard.

Cattle yardings tightened this week to 41,511 head. Despite flooding in the north, March totals improved 4% month-on-month.

Roma had a tightening of numbers this week, with most cattle being sourced from south-west Queensland or northern NSW. The Restocker Yearling Heifer Indicator strengthened across all

weight ranges, with Roma continuing to contribute the most cattle to the indicator.

Against the national average, Wagga Wagga and Mount Barker had the strongest prices of 359.65¢/ kg live weight (lwt) and 340¢/kg lwt respectively.

For the Restocker Yearling Steers, Dalby took out the top price of 435.55¢/kg lwt but the indicator still eased 8¢ week-on-week.

The price for heavy steers continues to ease, with the indicator reaching 313.74¢/kg lwt. Prices like this have not been seen since May 2020 and now sit below the 10-year average.

Year-on-year, total yardings for the first quarter of 2023 have improved by 4% as supply

from the rebuild begins to hit the market.

Rain in Queensland and northern NSW has improved buyer demand.

Sheep and lambs It was a stronger market this week for most sheep and lamb indicators.

Due to improved quality at top contributing saleyards, the Heavy Lamb Indicator improved 10¢ week-on-week.

Ballarat, which contributed to 25% of the indicator, traded at 750.49¢/kg carcase weight (cwt).

Excellent condition of heavy trade and export lambs at the saleyards helped to support these prices as buyers continue to select based on quality. Trade lambs went for 715.58¢/kg

cwt and stronger prices seen in NSW saleyards, especially in Wagga Wagga and Forbes, allowed the indicator to lift 23¢/kg cwt.

Restocker sentiment has also lifted this week with the Restocker Lamb Indicator improving 42¢ week-on-week. Ballarat contributed 42% of the indicator but traded 19¢ under the national average.

Wagga Wagga made up 12% of the contribution and had the highest premiums with restocker lambs selling for an average of 692.11¢/kg cwt.

The quality of heavy export lambs also improved at this saleyard.

Lamb yardings lifted 11% week-on-week.

Total sheep and lamb yardings for the month

of March improved marginally.

Slaughter Cattle slaughter has continued its upwards trend, with eastern states’ numbers reaching levels last seen in December 2020.

Northern Queensland slaughter hit its highest levels since December 2019.

Total national cattle slaughter was 114,038 h e a d l a s t week, wi t h Queensland slaughter increasing 2% week-onweek. NSW slaughter broke 30,000 head.

The trade-off of kill space between sheep and lambs has caused lamb slaughter to strengthen 10% while sheep slaughter softened 3%.

Victoria was able to

lift both sheep and lamb slaughter to 50,536 head and 168,523 head respectively.

Goat slaughter remains

Five days of double demerits The message for motorists this Easter is to slow down and take extra care with the usual road rules – or pay the price.

A s we g et r e ady t o celebrate Easter and the start of school holidays, drivers are being r em i nde d t h at double demerit points will be in force for five days.

“Easter holidays always come with an increase in the number of vehicles on the road and we want everyone that is travelling to arrive safely and avoid double demer it f i nes,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, councillor Ambrose Doolan.

“Double demerits apply t o spe ed i ng, seatbelt , motorcycle helmet, and mobile phone offences.”

Since its introduction in 1997, double demerit points have proven to be a successful deterrent to unsafe driving behaviours and reducing the road toll over holiday periods when roads are at their busiest.

There has been a 30 per cent reduction in casualty crashes that are directly attr ibutable t o double demerits.

K ey double demer it poi nts that w i l l be i n force are: • E xc e ed the spe ed l imit (ra nges between 10km/h and under to over 45km/h); • Driver not wearing own seatbelt; • Driver penalty for each passenger not wearing a seatbelt; • Rider on a motorcycle not wearing own helmet; •R i d e r p e n a l t y f o r passenger on a motorcycle not wearing a helmet; and

• Use a mobile phone while driving. “ Please d r ive sa fely and take extra care on the roads this holiday period,” Cr Doolan said.

“Driving over the speed l imit t o save a couple of minutes, pushing on d r iv i ng when you a re ti red, answer ing or looking at your mobile while behind the wheel, or driving after a few drinks is not worth the risk of not arriving at all.”

Spotlight on biodiversity Every day, flora and fauna play their parts in the ecosystem, but it’s not every day that people stop to notice them.

by JANE PHILLIPS More than 30 people enjoye d a n a f t er no on walk and discussion of native plant and animal species in the Rifle Range Reserve, Coonabarabran, on Saturday, 1 April.

Organised by Coonabarabran Landcare, the event featured a Welcome to Countr y and smoking ceremony, presentations on local flora and fauna and spotlighting for animals in the evening.

Coonabarabran Landcare secretary May Whittall said organisers were pleased with the event and had received positive feedback from attendees.

“The field day allowed us t o h igh l ight the importance of this reserve being close to its natural state with lots of remnant vegetation, hollows, fallen timber and multi-storey ecosystems,” Mrs Whittall said.

“Aunty Sheryl Nixon highlighted the cultural importance of the reserve to Aboriginal people and thanked the g roup for caring for the land.

“Anthony and Annabelle O’Halloran, from Bilby Blooms, gave a walking tour of the various tree, shrub and grass species throughout the reserve.”

Ecologist Phil Spark delivered a presentation on native animal species, with the group getting to see bats, geckos, legless lizards, fish, frogs and turtles. “ Ph i l was able t o highlight the variety of spe c ies wh ich depend on reserves like this for survival thanks to the hollows, shrubs, debris,

burrows and grass cover it provides,” Mrs Whittall said.

“The spotlighting walk wa s a r e a l h igh l ight , with a Boobook Owl and a number of Brushtail Possums being discovered by the group.”

Mrs Whittall thanked all the presenters and L a ndca re volu nt eers who had helped to bring

the event together and acknowledged funding was provided by the Central West Local Land Services C ommu n ity Gra nts program.

O n S u nd ay, t he Landcare group planted more than 6 0 endemic tree species in the reserve to fur ther improve biodiversity.

The 21-year-old made it through the selection process to earn a spot in the top 10.

If successful he will attend the nationa l competition this time next year, where a win could take him on to compete in the United States.

But the young man isn’t looking that far ahead and, instead, is focussing on gaining experience in the upcoming competition.

“I’m very excited. It’s something that I wanted to achieve,” Hamish said.

“Even to get this far is a great achievement and I ’m proud to get there and represent Davidson Cameron and Co – as well as Coonabarabran.

“It’s a bigger stage and a different environment to the local sale yards, but I’m looking forward to it.

“For me, it’s more about the experience and the

Exciting new activities at Baradine Library might make residents feel like they have been around the world and to outer space.

Harmony Week A wo r ld of cultu ral diversity was celebrated at the Baradine Library Harmony Week event when local resident, Julie Mash gave a presentation on her life growing up in the Philippines.

School students and members of the public came along to the afternoon on Tuesday, 21 March, when Julie read a story in Filipino, taught the children a song and explained the purpose of some traditional items.

The event concluded w ith a taste of some traditional Filipino food.

As the end of another financial year approaches, conversations around taxes are back on again. Cost of living is up across the board and so, on top of all of this, it’s no fun to add to it with taxes. Is ‘tax’ really a dirty word though? need to be considered when making decisions.

Plans can be impacted by this change and should always be checked and reviewed over time.

This stuff can be confusing on a good day and it is always recommended to consult with an accounting professional.

One of the big changes this year is the end of the Immediate Write-off for capital purchases, which ends at 30 June 2023.

If you are planning on adding new equipment or vehicles to your business you need to understand how these things work, and the implications of not taking delivery by 30 June, which includes missing the immediate deduction that requires delivery to have taken place.

You may, in fact, end up worse off if you miss this without the tax saving, and without the cash.

While you will see a run of end-of-financial-year advertising from vehicle and farm machiner y dealers which may entice you to spend on equipment you think you need in the interests of paying less tax, it is worth considering if the purchase is part of your business plan.

Will you need this equipment or will it end up costing you more in the long run?

When cashflow is tight, rather than having a full shed, having a healthy bank account even after paying some tax might be preferable.

Donna will be travelling to Exmouth in Western Austral ia to view this astronomical event, the most accessible landbased place on Earth to view the spectacle.

Donna will be showing her images of the eclipse during her presentation on Thursday, 27 April at 11am. The event is free and everyone is invited.

Easter closure All Macquarie Regional Librar y branches and ser vice points will be closed over the Easter weekend from Friday, 7 April to Monday, 10 April.

Normal opening hours will resume from Tuesday, 11 April – and don’t forget your online library is always open.

Visitors to Baradine Library enjoyed the presentation by Julie Mash on life in the Philippines to celebrate Harmony Week: Glenda Johnston, Jean Henley, Julie Mash and Irene Worrell.

Does it all add up?

A c co r d i ng to accountants, if you have earned a decent enough income that you have a tax bill to pay at the end of the year, it isn’t all bad news.

If you are paying tax, this is a positive sign that your business is doing well.

For example, if your business earns $200,000 profit you would be paying tax this year of just under $65,000.

While this sounds bad, it translates into after-tax income of $135,000, which should be viewed as a good outcome.

Tax planning is about long-term vision and sensible decision making, not just quick purchases to reduce your tax bill.

This can seem complicated, and there are often (almost always) changes to legislation that

WEATHER WATCH Perth, which had its driest December to 26 March period in 146 years of records with only 4.4mms rainfall, received 38.8mms on the last day of March; which was a record daily fall for the last day of March.

Looking at the daily rainfalls over the last fortnight of March over the last 140 years, there were only three wetter days – 2.3mms in 1923, 42.4mms in 1948 and 42.2mms in 1971.

The one in 1948 did follow a wet March in Coonabarabran and adjacent towns, which also happened this year.

Both April and May 1948 recorded near-normal rainfalls in Coonabarabran and daily maxima being a couple of degrees below normal.

June 1948 was very wet and from July 1948 onwards to the end of that year it became a dry period.

Sydney has recorded its warmest March in 164 years of records.

• GAMILARAAY WORD OF THE WEEK •

The mean-maximum temperature was 27.6 degrees, surpassing the previous warmest March of 2006. In addition, March this year was actually warmer than the previous three summer months for only the fifth time in the last 164 years; the other four such cases were in 1922, 1928, 1965 and 1968.

Rainfalls in our regions during these four cases were very erratic, but one thing which comes out of this situation is a notably warmer-and-drier spring season.

The heavy rain in Perth on the last day of March was due to a small complex low which is now moving into the Bight region and has produced much-needed rainfall to the Central Wheat Belt of WA. Some of this rainfall will reach Victoria and the Riverina at the start of Easter, but further north from Forbes, little or no rain is expected and daily maximum temperatures topping 30 degrees.

As part of our weekly feature, the Coonabarabran Times is running a ‘Gamilaraay word of the week’, in celebration of our local Indigenous language.

This week’s Gamilaraay word of the week is bina gaarr, meaning ‘rabbit’, though it literally translates to ‘long ears’. .

‘Bina gaarr’ – rabbit, long ears

Radio stars We’re back! St Lawrence’s radio stars are back each week with our radio program on 2WCRFM at 6pm on Thursday a nd Su nday even i ngs.

This term we have started with Years 5 and 6.

Students are involved in drafting their scripts for the rad io prog ram during the week prior to their recording session.

They must practise their script as well as choose songs that they would like

to be played during their segment. When students attend the studio, they r e ad e ach s eg ment of the script three times so that Rob and Belinda are able to choose the best parts when editing and producing the program.

Each group that attends the stud io for thei r recording session gets a tour of the radio station with Rob Dean and learns about what it takes to be a radio presenter.

T h is is a wonder f u l exercise that teaches the students skills in so many areas. Who knows, maybe we may hear one of our students on the airwaves in the future!

L e a d e r s o f Coonabarabran Public gathered in excited anticipation of the presentation of a new barbecue, which was made by Brad and George from Roach’s Home Hardware. A wonderful acknowledgment of community and collaboration as it will get much use as part of our fund-raising efforts for many and varied initiatives within the school.

Elsewhere, we had two very proud stars of the week in 1P – Charlotte Higgins and William McMillan, who have been exceptional in displaying school PBL values and following classroom and playground instructions.

They are exemplary students from a wonderful calm and engaging learning environment which Ms Parkinson creates and which, in turn, creates motived and willing learners.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Preschool We have been learning all about eggs and what grows inside them, and discovering this ourselves with Miss Shannon’s incubator. All of us now being proud mums and dads of 16 little chickens.

They are the most loved, cuddled and well-looked after chickens ever.

We extended this interest further after reading the st or y ‘ C h icken s A r en’t the Only Ones’ and then conducted an ‘egg growing experiment’ each day. After passing around a different egg each day, we placed it in water to see what would happen. Within 24 hours we had a dinosaur, a unicorn and also a snake growing after they had hatched out of the eggs. The children were

fascinated with this and started thinking about what would happen if we took them out of the water, so we did.

Over the next week (and a few super-hot days) we discovered they shrank again – from up to 16cm long to almost fitting back into their egg size. So, after more discussions, measuring, investigating and thinking, they are back in the water and growing again! This h a s le d u s t o a not her investigation about volume, and understanding this further while enjoying the stories ‘Who Sank the Boat’ and ‘Mr Archimedes’ Bath’.

We had a fabulous time recently at the Tooraweenah Senior Citizen’s luncheon where we told the story ‘The

Lamington Man’ to everyone there, with a few extras, including more cats, dogs and even a couple of sheep!

Everyone was very good at chasing the Lamington Man when he sang “Run, run, as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the Lamington Man!” F r iend s have loved gardening outside, helping put in a new garden area near the wooden walkway bridge, planting some new veggies after our cherry tomatoes finished, and decorating our entrance by planting some hanging pots and putting up some colourful and fun garden ornaments. We’ve also played in the water trough and loved watching the coloured ice melt and

create changes in the water.

Inside, friends have been having lots of fun dressing up, playing the most amazing ‘Police and Princesses’ game with lots of action and drama, and time for a cuppa and snack at our home-corner café; playing with the farm animals and sheep yards and lots of engineering and interesting building with the magna-tiles construction.

We’ve enjoyed lots of singing, dancing, stories, celebrating Harmony Day and just before we return for term two we will be joining our friends from Tooraweenah Public School to perform a musical item at the Tooraweenah community ANZAC Day Service.

Bilby boom in Pilliga Forest safe haven Populations of Australia’s home-grown alternative to the Easter bunny are growing.

by LIZ CUTTS R ecent Austra l ia n W i ld l i fe C on s er va nc y (AWC) surveys h av e c o n f i r m e d t h a t p opu lat ions of bi lbies are experiencing a boom within five protected sites, including the conservation area located in the Pilliga Forest.

As a result of the annual Bilby Census, the overall estimated population at the AWC sanctuaries is at least 3315; more than double the 1480 estimated individuals in 2022 and 1230 in 2021.

T he AWC says th at t he gener ou s ra i n f a l l across most of Australia replenished the landscape and provided good conditions for breeding.

D r Joh n K a nowsk i , AWC c h i e f s c i e n c e officer, has welcomed the increase in the overall bilby population, saying i t r e i t e r a t e s AW C ’ s position as a global leader in successful threatened species reintroductions.

“The Greater Bilby once occurred across 70 per cent of mainland Australia, and sadly, is now only found within some 20 per cent of its former range,”

Dr Kanowski said. “ This decline represents the loss of our natural heritage, the loss of cultural heritage for Indigenous people, and the disruption of important ecological processes.

“A s ‘ecosystem engineers’, bilbies turn over several tonnes of soil per annum to create fertile pockets and perfect germination conditions for plants. “ Through fenced refuges, such as those established by AWC, we have been able to return the bilby to six ecosystems from which they’ve become extinct and provide them with safe environments in which they can safely breed and fertilise their numbers. “ Re-establishing the species across its former range is also important for maintaining long-term adaptive potential.”

During surveys over the last year, ecologists were thrilled to encounter s evera l juven i les a nd pouch young. In fact, 17 of 25 females captured d u r i n g t h e P i l l i g a ’s December survey were carrying pouch young.

T he AWC says th at detections of young

animals are a significant measure of the bilby ’s ability to sur v ive into adulthood within the safe havens. The process of breeding also means new recruitment of individuals for the protected populations which will contr ibute t o la rger population estimates in the near future.

Reintroduced Since the Greater Bilby was reintroduced to the Pilliga State Conservation A rea in 2018 , the population has undergone boom and bust in line with weather conditions.

L a s t y e a r, d e s p i t e the turmoil of two flood events, bilbies maintained good numbers, w ith a population estimate of 175 individuals and signs of successful reproductive recruitment.

B i l bie s wer e reintroduced to the Pilliga almost a century after disappearing from t h e n o r t h -w e s t N S W landscape.

AWC , w it h N S W Nationa l Pa rks a nd Wildlife Service (NPWS), released 60 individuals into a 680-hectare feral predator-free breeding area, where they have stayed u nti l the f i na l

predat or was recently declared removed from the wider 5800-hectare fenced area.

Dr Vicki Stokes, AWC s e n i o r w i l d l i f e e colog ist , sa id su r vey results indicate that the population is doing well, and they are likely to thrive in the wider fenced area.

“The Pilliga experienced t wo e x t r eme we at her events in October and November last year, which we believe contributed to a discrepancy between sur vey results and population estimates in July and December 2022,” explained Dr Stokes.

“High rainfall and flash f looding of creeks and forest areas may have resulted in mortality of some bilbies, particularly if burrows were impacted by the floods. “ However, t he h i g h proportion of females with pouch young encountered du r i n g t he D e c emb er survey, coupled with the healthy body weights and body condition of captured animals and sightings of numerous juveniles in February, suggest that the species continues to do well.”

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE A few weeks ago, the Rams gave notice that they would not have a league tag side this year, as did the Coonabarabran Unicorns, but while the Unicorns will be fielding a first-grade side this year after sitting out last year, Trangie has now announced that it will be not taking the field in any grade this season.

The Rams’ withdrawal has sent Castlereagh officialdom into a frenzy as they s cra mble t o arrive at a solution for wh at now b e c ome s a very complex situation in regard to the 2023 competition draw.

Castlereagh L eag ue secretary, Bryson Luff explained that it is not simply a matter of having

a bye when a club was drawn to play the Rams.

“A s p er t he w i she s of the clubs we had a 14-round draw in place for ou r 10 clubs. T he c lu b s wer e r a ndom ly d raw n i nt o two po ols of five, with each club playing the other clubs in their same pool twice, and the clubs from the other pool once,” Luff explained. “ Now, w it h t he withdrawal of the Rams, we have a situation that the clubs drawn in the same pool as Trangie will get two byes throughout the year, whilst the clubs in the other pool will only get one bye each.

This is hardly an ideal or equitable situation!”

No. 12024 14 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 6th April 2023

The Castlereagh League board of directors met on Monday night, 3 April, to discuss the implications of t he T r a ng ie R a ms withdrawing all teams from the 2023 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition.

With nine clubs remaining in the competition there was some thought given to the possibility of doing an entirely new draw, wh ich wou ld h ave 18 c ompet it ion r ou nd s – every club playing each other twice.

It was decided not to do this for a number of reasons which included: • all clubs had voted for a 14-round competition at the annual general meeting’ • clubs had made bookings for grounds and organised events, some major events such as 100year celebrations, based on the d raw that had

previously been released; • the time frame t o i mplement a new 18 -r ou nd c ompet it ion draw was almost nonexistent and would have resulted in playing the g rand f ina l at a ver y late date.

While realising that staying with the “old” draw would mean that some first-grade sides would get two byes and some would only get one, the board opted continue with this.

W hen it comes to t he f i n a l p o sit ion i n g of first grade teams on the competition ladder, should two teams finish on e qu a l c omp et it ion p oi nt s a nd one t e a m has had two byes and the other one bye, the ra n k i ng of tho se t wo teams will be determined by “winning percentage”, w ith the team w ith the higher w inning percentage being ranked above the other one.

Ranking by winning percentage will only be u s e d t o d i f fer ent i at e between two sides that are on equal competition points, but there is a difference in the number of byes that those two teams have had.

T h i s w i l l apply i n f i r s t g r ade on ly a nd it will only be used, if necessary, to determine semi-final positions.

In all other instances the normal “ points differential” method will be used to rank teams.

T h e b o a r d acknowledges that this may not be a per fe c t answer to the problem of teams having unequal nu m b e r o f b y e s , but hopes that all clubs and supporters will realise the complexities involved in the situation and the limited time frame that the boa rd has had t o come up with a solution.

Kooka’s no fools at April carnival Over the previous two weeks the Coonabarabran Rugby Club has played six different local towns in trial games.

RUGBY UNION F i r s t ly, a for t n i g ht a g o , it wa s de fe at i n g Coonamble away to retain the Warrumbungle Cup 17-15.

Then, on April Fool’s Day, the Kookas travelled to Warren, drawing with t he ho st s 7-7, t o a l s o reta i n the Ol l ie Fox Memorial Cup Wa r r en a l s o ho st e d Trangie, Narromine and Coolah to play in a series of 2 0 -m i nut e ga mes t h r o u g h o u t t h e d a y, where every side played each other once. So, four games each meant every club well and truly got their 80 minutes of rugby for the day In the 1980s the Welsh deliberately did not cut

the grass in their national stadium for weeks before a t e s t m at c h a g a i n s t the a skilful Japanese team in an effort to slow down their quick style o f p l a y. T h e Wa r r e n Rugby Club may have had the same thought, as the flush and soft field made for very tough and exhausting going and, if nothing else, made for an excellent pre-season fitness workout.

After gloating several we ek s a g o a b out how many players indicated t hey a r e g o o d for t he up c om i ng s e a s on , t he Kookas have travelled s hor t b ot h we ekend s .

I f it wasn’t for Nick Willoughby and T yle r F r a z e r a g a i n s t C o o n a m bl e a nd s o m e Wa r r en r e s er ve s l a s t

Saturday, we would have had to play short both days. Especially when Andrew Hain was ruled out for the day with a head injury in the first five minutes of the first game.

A ll the Kookaburras pl ayed wel l a nd s ome of the best were Steve Ford, Charlie R edden, Dave Sulter the Cleary brothers, Ethan Thirkell and the ageless Lonnie Stone. I could name the whole team, but if you missed out this week you get in print in another edition.

Coonabarabran drew 7 -7 w i t h N a r r o m i n e a nd T r a n g ie a nd h ad 5 - 0 w i n over C o ol a h , who actually went on to play in the final against Warren.

T he d r aw f o r t h i s season has been altered, with Blayney moving to the south, resulting in both the north and south competitions consisting of eight teams each. So, each club will now have seven home and seven away games, plus four weeks of finals.

C o onaba rabra n w i l l now have its longest away travel game all of the season at Canow ind ra on 15 April – a good one to get out of the way first up.. This match will be followed by us hosting Wellington at home the next week, while the last game will be Geurie at home on 29 July. There will be general byes on 10 June and 8 July.

Nicole and Joel survive Tamworth “sufferfest” The Tamworth Trail Blazer is described as the trail race “where fun goes to die!”

So what was the appeal for two local running enthusiasts?

by EMMA HARVEY Coonabarabran runners Nicole Hunter and Joel Amiet tackled the gruelling 45-kilometre course on Sunday, 2 April.

S o how d id Nicole Hunter pull up?

“I’m absolutely busted!” she said.

Described by organisers a s a “ su f fer fe st ”, t he Tamworth Trail Blazer is a 15-kilometre, multi-loop trail run with over 900 metres of elevation gained each loop.

Beginning two kilometres from Tamworth CBD at Tamworth Lookout, the course weaves up the infamous Hurcums Hill and Flagstaff Mountain.

Ru n ners have the o p t i o n o f c o mp l e t i n g the 15-kilometre circuit once, or multiple times, accumulating distances of 3 0, 45 and even 6 0 kilometres.

Both Nicole and Joel conquered the 45-kilometre course, with Nicole’s GPS Gamin watch recording an incredible 2900-metres elevation.

“It was the hardest race I’ve ever done,” she said.

“Mentally very g ruelling, and also technically challenging.

T here’s a lot of s cree coming down those fire trails.”

On the brighter side, the course showed Nicole “parts of Tamworth [she’d] never seen before.” “ It was only a small event a nd rea l ly wel l organised. You meet new

pe ople – the r u n n i ng commu n ity is ver y supportive.”

There was a total of 93 racers across all distances, and Nicole and Joel took out an impressive second and fourth place for their respective categories.

“It was great to have a ma rathon tra i l race so close to home,” said Nicole, who trains for events like these in the Warrumbungles National

Park.

Both Nicole and Joel used the Tamworth Trail Blazer as a “ wa rm-up run” for the upcoming U ltra T ra i l in May, a 10 0 -k i l ome t r e c ou r s e in K atoomba, Blue Mountains.

A fter competing last yea r a nd ac cidenta l ly straying off the path on the final leg, Nicole is looking forward to her 2023 Ultra Trail redemption.

The Tamworth Trail Blazer weaves a challenging course up Hurcums Hill and Flagstaff Mountain.

Nicole Hunter and Joel Amiet took on the “sufferfest” at Tamworth with impressive results.

Smiling Sylvia honoured as Senior Citizen

MOREE

The smiling face of Sylvia Broderick is familiar to many across Moree – as a business owner and dedicated community member.

Sylvia was honoured as Moree Plains Shire Council’s Senior Citizen for 2023 and was awarded at last week’s shire luncheon.

Sylvia’s heart has always been in the shire. She moved to Moree as a six-month-old and her father pursued a long-standing career in shearing within the Moree district.

Attending St Philomena’s Catholic School, Sylvia’s legacy extended into the family’s future generations with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren attending the school also.

She remains connected to St Philomena’s as she is part of the Women’s group for the Catholic Church, where they continue to raise funds for local initiatives.

In 1976, Sylvia set up her long-standing shop ‘Sylvia’s Fabric’, on Heber Street, where she still currently works, ably supplying the community with materials and sewing equipment.

Presiding over the awards ceremony, mayor Mark Johnson congratulated Sylvia. “‘It gives me great joy to recognise your generosity, your contribution and commitment to our community and the shire,” Cr

Johnson said.

“In addition to running a small business, Sylvia has been a wonderful ambassador for the Moree Plains and an avid volunteer.

“She coordinates ticket sales for community events such as plays, debutante balls, concerts, and the like. Her many years of voluntary service to the community include 40 years with the Evening View Club, 30 years with line dancing and 22 years with the Community Visitors Scheme which involves visiting the residents at Whiddon Moree on a weekly basis ... just to name a few.”

During the COVID lockdown, Sylvia still took it upon herself to check in with Whiddon residents to support and care for their well-being via telephone.

Sylvia has received recognition for her support for local initiatives including the St Philomena’s Spring Fair, Moree on a Plate, Community Choir, RSL Nashos and the Church Choir. In recent years, Sylvia received the customer service award in 2019 and 2022 and was included on the Elders Honour Roll in 2022.

“We thank Sylvia for her dedicated time to the community. Congratulations to our other nominees, Barb Davis and Joan Limb, we thank all of our nominees for their outstanding contribution to our shire,” Cr Johnson said.

SENIOR CITIZEN HONOUR: Sylvia Broderick was honoured as Moree Plains Shire’s Senior Citizen for 2023.

Farmers’ Federation president honoured RURAL NEWS The president of the National Farmers' Federation, Fiona Simson, has been awarded the 2023 Rabobank Leadership Award, recognising the important role she has played advocating on behalf of Australia’s agricultural sector.

Mrs Simson, who became the first female leader in the NFF’s 40-year history when she was elected president of the organisation in 2016 – after a career in local government and leadership of the NSW Farmers’ Federation – was announced as recipient of this year’s award at the Rabobank Farm2Fork summit in Sydney in March.

Rabobank regional manager Australian and NZ Peter Knoblanche paid tribute to Liverpool Plains farmer Mrs Simson, saying her work leading the NFF – the peak national body representing farmers and agriculture across Australia – was “making one of the most fundamentally important contributions to leadership in the food and agribusiness sector”.

“Through her leadership of the National Farmers’ Federation, Fiona has played, and continues to play, an instrumental role in the future growth and prosperity of Australia’s

agricultural sector,” he said.

“She is passionate about the power of a unified voice for agriculture and the role agriculture advocacy plays in a strong and vibrant future for regional Australia.

“Fiona is a powerful advocate and passionate rural and regional leader who has been a trail blazer in driving a number of key major initiatives for the sector and for NFF. These include the National Agricultural Leadership Program, the Young Farmers Council, the Australia-China Agricultural Youth Program and the Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program.”

Mr Knoblanche said Mrs Simson was the driving force behind NFF’s Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program – which focuses on the development and engagement of the talented women in agricultural and agribusiness industries.

“This is now in its sixth year – and boasts an alumnus of 52 graduates, who have gone on to pursue high profile and impactful leadership positions and to be change-makers within their community,” he said.

Mr Knoblanche said, in making their decision, the award judges – an independent panel of former award recipients – also

family run a mixed farming enterprise including broad acre farming and breeding commercial Poll Hereford cattle. “As a prominent innovator and influencer in the Australian food and agribusiness sector with a wealth of leadership and governance expertise – Rabobank is pleased to be able to recognise Fiona’s dedication and contribution,” Mr Knoblanche said.

Auctioneer set for sell off in Sydney Davidson Cameron & Co auctioneer Hamish Fauchon is set for the biggest test of his young career.

The 21-year-old livestock agent is one of 10 hopefuls to compete at the 2023 Young Auctioneers Competition State and National Finals in Sydney.

Held in conjunction with the Sydney Royal Easter Show, this will be his first time competing at the prestigious event which has been running since 1989.

Hamish, who grew up in Tamworth but is based at Coonabarabran, said judges would be critiquing characteristics such as clarity, accuracy and the persuasive qualities of each auctioneer.

“I’m very excited but very nervous at the same time,” he said.

Hamish Fauchon.

“It’s a big stage compared to the local saleyards.”

Hamish started in the industry when he was 16 years old and has quickly established a reputation as one of the region’s top selling agents.

“It is an exciting place to work – every day is different,” he said. “I love working with cattle and being in the saleyard environment.”

The former Farrer

Memorial Agricultural High School student is in good company too with other young hopefuls also keen to make a start.

“Since I started I’ve seen some younger agents coming through which is good,” he said.

Looking ahead, Hamish hoped to continue growing his knowledge and experience in the industry while reaffirming Davidson Cameron & Co’s strong reputation in the area.

“We have a loyal client base here in Coonabarabran, hopefully we can keep building the business,” he said. “Talking to your clients and good communication is a big thing.”

The young auctioneers competition will be held on April 6.

North West MPs returned to electorates at state poll The North West region’s three parliamentarians will return to Macquarie Street after securing their positions again at the March state election.

Adam Marshall will continue to serve the Northern Tablelands, which includes Moree Plains Shire, after securing almost 72 per cent of first preference votes.

The Nationals MP had a slight swing against him of 1.3 per cent on first preferences, however, as counting continued last week his two-candidate preferred vote had increased by almost one per cent.

The two-candidate preferred result as at the end of last week would make the Northern Tablelands the safest electorate in NSW. In neighbouring Barwon, independent Roy Butler was returned after a strong showing across the electorate.

Mr Butler experienced a swing in votes across the electorate. On a two-candidate preferred basis, he experienced a swing of almost 11 per cent in his favour.

In Tamworth, which includes Gunnedah Shire, Nationals MP Kevin Anderson experienced a slight swing against him on first preferences of 1.4 per cent, with

gains to independent candidate Mark Rodda and Labor’s Kate McGrath.

On a two-candidate preferred basis, the Nationals MP suffered a 12 per cent swing as at the end of last week, however, looks to hold Tamworth with at least 65 per cent.

Mr Anderson thanked his loyal band of volunteers for their efforts on election day and throughout the campaign.

He also acknowledged voters for entrusting him with another four years as their representative in Macquarie Street.

“It’s an honour and a privilege to be re-elected,” he said.

“Thanks for trusting me to continue to work hard on your behalf and it’s straight back to work.”

Mr Butler described the support he had received as incredible.

“A lot of volunteers, a lot of

people have volunteered their vehicles, their houses, their businesses, their bodies to help promote, which is fantastic,” Mr Butler said. “I think that my opposition probably thought not having a branch structure would mean that we wouldn’t have the support we need but I’ve probably got more support from volunteers and other assistants in 2023 than I had in 2019 when I was with a party.”

By KAVINA KUMAR

news@nwcourier.com.au

The NSW Rural Fire Service has extended the bushfire danger period to midnight April 30 as the season endures.

Namoi Gwydir team leader Superintendent Michael Brooks has urged the community to take extra caution after the statutory bushfire danger period had a late start this year but ignited quickly due to continuing dry conditions.

The period which normally runs from October 31 to March 31 was extended after consultation between RFS captains across

Look at your fire plan, clear the rubbish, think about alternate power supplies, available water and ensure appropriate fire breaks are in place. MICHAEL BROOKS the district and the Namoi Gwydir Bush Fire Management Committee.

The extended bushfire danger period applies to people in rural communities from the Narrabri,

Moree, and Gwydir local government areas.

“We have had a very active season, as well as the first section 44 declaration for the state to bring in outside resources and emergency funding,” said Supt Brooks.

Unpredictable strong winds and lightning have been some of the main culprits, along with the dry season.

Major fires in the Namoi Gwydir area this year included Wearnes Road, Upper Maules Creek, and the Kenna fires which were suspected to be caused by lightning.

The extension of the bushfire danger period means that any open fires as well as fires for normal rural work will require a permit.

The Australian Government, represented by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, is seeking to purchase permanent water rights of up to 44.3 gigalitres per year (GL/y) across six catchments in New South Wales and southern Queensland to help deliver the Sustainable Diversion Limits (SDLs) in the Murray‑Darling Basin Plan.

Permits will not be required for cooking fires while camping, barbecuing, or incinerating if fires are in a permanently constructed fireplace, the site has been appropriately cleared of combustible materials before lighting, and completely extinguished after use.

As well as advising the community to remain cautious, Supt Brooks expressed the importance of an up-to-date fire plan.

“Look at your fire plan, clear the rubbish, think about alternate power supplies, available water and ensure appropriate fire breaks are in place.”

“Things as simple as not stacking your wood on the porch, checking your coals aren’t still burning when you throw them out are

common culprits.”

Anyone with plans to light a fire in Narrabri, Moree, or Gwydir areas will require a permit and to notify neighbouring landowners and RFS 24 hours before burning.

“A lot of people will be planning large-scale farm burns before winter, and they can be seen from a long distance,” Supt Brooks said.

“If in doubt, it’s always best to call us and work with us so we can make sure you’re doing the safest thing.”

Permits can be attained by contacting your local RFS or Fire and Rescue Station prior to lighting.

Meerkats born Farmers’ Federation Baby in time for Easter calls for inquiry into school holidays price irregularity

our specially constructed, lion-proof tour bus,” Taronga Western Plains Zoo director Steve Hinks said.

RURAL NEWS The National Farmers’ Federation is calling for an investigation into the grain supply chain after a report found a price irregularity that could means billions of dollars in losses to Australian farmers.

The federation’s chief executive officer Tony Mahar said the federal government needed to respond immediately by instigating an inquiry through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission or similar following a report by GrainGrowers.

“These are mind boggling losses that could run into the billions for wheat alone,” he said.

“At a time of increasing market concentration across agricultural supply chains, Australian farmers need certainty that no one is using this market power to increase profit at the expense of family farms.

“Given the impact this could have on farmers and the supply chain, nothing short of an in-depth investigation

will do.”

The anomalies have been found in the 2021-22 grain and oilseed market season.

“We need to understand and address what’s happening to prevent further economic fallout and impacts on farmers’ bottom line,” Mr Mahar said.

“I hate to think what could happen to farming families if this isn’t addressed swiftly.”

The NFF has echoed GrainGrowers call for the investigation to encompass the entire grains supply chain, from farm gate through to export and domestic channels including identifying bottlenecks and other barriers for trade participants.

“Our goal to become a $100 billion industry by 2030 strongly relies on our grains sector, so we need to pull every lever to investigate and identify ways the industry can grow to benefit our farmers, our economy and our trading partners,” Mr Mahar said.

GrainGrowers chief executive officer Shona Gawel said the in-

dustry needed the decision to progress the issue.

“Growers have been raising the issue for some time, and the report provides quantitative evidence supporting the need for government to perform an in-depth investigation,” she said.

“Given the issue’s importance, we believe it is appropriate for the government to decide and commence what it considers to be the most appropriate course of action to address the identified concerns.”

GrainGrowers has outlined a range of options for the government to consider, including a Senate Inquiry, an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission pricing inquiry, an independent review, or a departmental review by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

Ms Gawel said whichever approach is adopted, it is critical that it can gather the necessary information and is meaningful for all industry participants and government.

Four fresh-faced Meerkat pups and a roarsome birthday are set to be the highlights of a family visit to Taronga Western Plains Zoo these school holidays!

The Meerkat pups were born just over three weeks ago on March 4 to mum Midra and dad Howell, and weigh just over 110 grams each.

“We’re really excited to welcome three baby girls and one little boy to our Meerkat family here at the Waterhole,” Senior Keeper Karen James said.

“They don’t have names yet but they are starting to show their little personalities, with the little boy a lot bolder than his sisters to go out and explore their habitat.

Vantage NSW specialises in integrating agronomy, hardware, software and services to improve productivity and profitability to service the increasing complexity of farming operations.

Bookings for Animal Encounters and Tours, including the Lion Pride Lands Patrol, are essential as places each day are limited.

There are plenty of other activities on offer at Taronga Western Plains Zoo, from free keeper talks and animal feeds, including the Wildlife Hospital Aviary Keeper Talk being introduced these school holidays.

Opened in December 2022, the Wildlife Hospital provides a window into how the Zoo’s veterinary team care for and treat the animals that call the Zoo home, including the birds that are integral to some of the Zoo’s conservation breeding programs.

The Wildlife Hospital Aviary Keeper Talk will take place at 2.15pm daily.

“They are still quite small so mum, dad and their older siblings are still very protective, but it won’t be long before the pups can be seen out doing all the things Meerkats do – digging, foraging for food and of course sentry duty!”

“Guests will be in prime position to see the cubs playing, exploring, sleeping and learning from mum and dad.

Marion and Lwazi are terrific first-time parents, very patient with their cubs which is adorable to see.”

The best time to see the Meerkat mob during the school holidays is during the Meerkat Keeper Talk at The Waterhole at 12.45pm daily.

Taronga is not-for-profit, so whether you visit, stay overnight, donate, become a Zoo Friend, book an unforgettable behind the scenes experience or buy a gift for a loved one, every dollar you spend has the power to protect and save wildlife.

Tickets to the Zoo are valid for two consecutive days, allowing guests to take their time or hop back around to any of the family’s favourite stops.

The Easter school holidays will also mark a very special birthday, with Lion cubs Amali, Imani and Mara turning 1 on Good Friday, as well as the return of the much-loved Lions Pride Lands Patrol.

For the first time ever, guests will be able to join the Zoo’s pride – Amali, Imani and Mara, mum Marion and dad Lwazi – inside the exhibit on board the Lion Pride Lands Patrol truck.

“There’s no better way to see our Lion Pride than from the vantage point of
