Bill Wilkin celebrates a century Bill Wilkin’s positive, resilient and family-strong attitude continues to thrive in his one hundredth year.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Bill Wilkin was born into a farming family on 13 March, 1924, in South Australia.

This year marks the centenary of Mr Wilkin’s life, during which he has led a fulfilling existence.

His most recent success was a hole-in-one at the Coonabarabran Golf Course, and he is one of the oldest, active golfers in Australia today...possibly the world.

The honou rable occasion of Mr Wilkin’s 10 0th bir thday will be celebrated with his four children, nine grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.

A day out on the green was also required to celebrate his life.

Mr Wilkin grew up on a dairy farm next to the Murray Darling River and had to cross the river by ferry to get into town.

He is a family-orientated man, who owes his longevity and happiness to his late wife, Betty, and a good diet with no added sugar.

He met Betty in Sydney when she worked at the Children’s Hospital in Camperdown.

Mr Wilkin said they spent a day together and were inseparable from that time onwards.

They were married for an impressive 72 years before she sadly passed.

Growing up, Mr Wilkin was the eldest of six children.

His primary school was a hall that held 60 students of various ages. The students had to be well behaved, or face punishment, and due to the lack of transport options many did not move on to high school.

Mr Wilkin left primar y school to work on the family dairy farm.

In the 1940s, during World War II, Mr Wilkin enlisted in the Air Force as a mechanic and ended up as a dispatch rider.

His role as a dispatch rider meant he del ive red com m un i cati ons around Darwin by motorbike.

He was also witness to the Darwin

bombings in 1942, when Japanese f i g hte r s a t ta c ke d t h e p o r t a n d harbour. “ I n t h e A i r F o r c e, yo u d o a l l sorts of jobs out there in the bush.

C o m m u n i ca t i o n s h a s d ef i n i te l y changed through the years – just about everything has changed,” Mr Wilkin said.

“But one of the highlights of my life was marrying my wife. We were family minded and both came from farming families.

“We came to Coonaba rab ran as our children wanted to continue farming and we needed more land.

We sold our farm in South Australia for $56 an acre.”

In the sixties, around 70 families moved from South Australia to the War rumbungle Shire in search of farmland.

After the war, settlement blocks were made available to servicemen, however, the land was often not big enough to make a good living.

Mr Wilkin mentioned the politics of the time were different after the war.

He said the Government at the time wanted control and rationed petrol and food, such as dairy.

He recalls how Rober t Menzies stepped into office as Prime Minister and removed the restrictions in his first day in office.

Despite the political happenings and his experience in the war, Mr Wilkin remained focused on farming and agricultural practices.

He built his homes from scratch and ensu red the fam i l y fa r m i ng legacy would be passed to his sons and relatives.

Despite reaching the remarkable age of 100, Mr Wilkin has no intentions of slowing down. He plans to keep playing golf for as long as possible and remain dedicated to spending time with his family and friends.

Happy birthday Mr Wilkin!

Keen golfer, Bill Wilkin enjoyed an early birthday catch-up with his friends from the Coonabarabran Veteran’s Golf Club prior to his official 100th birthday this Wednesday, 13 March.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com The high cost of water A shor t whi le ago, l i ke ma ny other s i n Coonaba rabran we re ceived out wat er account from Council.

We were shocked by the amount as it was double our previous bill, not to mention the highest one we had ever received. We immediately contacted the Council and raised our concerns, even stating that for three weeks of the bi l l i ng period we were overseas and if anything, our bill should be less.

Council’s response was there had been a slight price increase of 20 cents per kilolitre, and that we should check for leaks, or for a nominal fee they would send someone out to check the meter.

I am not a qualified plumber, but I am smart enough to know how to check if anything was leaking – which it was not.

It was then I decided t o a s k t he q ue s t ion on socia l med ia, v ia the C oonaba rabra n Community Noticeboard page on Facebook, i f anyone else had had increases in their water bills.

I was inundated with over 160 replies from disgruntled rate payers who had horror stories of their own, that included massive overcharging of accounts, and meters that were in such poor c ond it ion t hey wer e illegible and defied any at t empt t o r e ad t he numbers on the gauge.

T here were stor ies

of water-supply pipes passing properties on the opposite side of the road whose properties were not connected to the town supply, but were still charged. There were other accounts of estimated water-meter readings, or – as I like to put it – guesstimates, which have no human nor mathematica l or practica l appl ication b eh i nd t hem . T he s e e st i m at e s or, i f you prefer ‘guesstimates’, will determine the final outcome reading and therefore what your final bill is going to be!

T h e r e w e r e m a ny stories about pungent smells and poor quality of the wat er, not t o mention the bill disputes and ongoing consultation between Council and rate

payers who vigorously complain, only to have their frustrations fall on deaf ears It’s about time that Council start listening to the rate payers and do something to bring these rates back in line with other similar-size councils that surround us, whose water rates are far cheaper than ours!

Council needs to remember we are all doing it tough these days with the high cost of living, and that water isn’t a luxury – it’s a ne cessit y t o sust a i n l i fe on a da i ly basis and therefore should be charged accordingly.

Yours etc., Warwick Houley Coonabarabran 2357 (28.02.2024)

Here we go again!

R e; the letter in the Coonabarabran Times titled ‘Boys will b e p er p et r at or s ’, 2 9 February 2024.

Well, here we go again, s ome one who wa nt s t o rema i n nameless, has put the blame for criminal behaviour on society again.

Roughly 109 billion people have lived/died on this planet in the last 192,000 years, so I ’m g uessi ng 5 0 per cent of those would be male, so that equates to around 54.5 billion boys/men (who at one stage were between the ages of 13 and 25) with uncontrollable hormones and an unwired brain have roamed this planet seeking to destroy society or belt the hell out

of another male human.

That’s a road train load of bovine manure; if it was the truth then we wouldn’t be here at all!

T he aut hor of t he u nsig ned lett er a lso states, and I quote “They have been poisoned by all parts of society’’; if it is all parts of society, does this include females too?

The author also states “remember what it was like at that age’’. I do, life was wonderful, with all my g reat friends, male and female, just doing what young people do – swimming, playing cricket, football, basketball, tennis and socialising at barbecues supervised by a parent.

It was just the natural thing to do and, I repeat, the ‘natural’ thing to do, our ‘volatile cocktails’

were just lemonade or milksha kes, and our brains were wired by our parents from birth and the word that keeps coming up for me after 71 years is ‘RESPECT’.

Simple really, there w i l l a l w ay s b e b a d boys (and some girls) no matter what society does or doesn’t do, just look back in history for the proof.

To aid this problem is as easy as bringing back the cane in schools and giving police officers the right to whack teenagers over the back of the head if they ’re acting like morons in public.

What’s that sound? Look up!

Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircraft have begun operating a new military flight training area across the north-west, including Warrumbungle Shire.

The nor th-west NSW ai rspace replaced the former Williamtown western airspace in November last year, with flying in the new space commencing in February.

Aircraft from RAAF Base Williamtown in Newcastle will be the major users of the space.

The development of future flight paths for the new Western Sydney Airport presented an opportunity to re d e s i g n t h e m i l i ta r y airspace.

The design process prioritised safety of flight for military and civilian aircraft

operating within and near t h e a i r s p a ce, i n c l u d i n g efficient air-route access into and out of Western Sydney Airport.

Defence and Airservices Australia spent 18 months during 2021-22 conducting stakeholder consultation with airline industry operators and small aircraft operators a s p a r t of t h e a i r s p a ce design process.

Defence also conducted an information and engagement prog ram in 202 2 with councils, local MPs, small aircraft operator representatives and council operated aerodromes.

Most flying training activities will be conducted at medium to high altitudes.

When the airspace is not being used, the RAAF will release it for use by civilian operators.

No act of kindness is ever wasted This is the journey of a man who lost his keys, wallet and phone, but found so much more...

by GEORGIA SPENCE Random acts of kindness can make the world a happier place.

In fact, no act of kindness is too small and each has the potential to start a ripple effect, touching the lives of many.

One man in particular, Steven Peck, recently experienced the kindness of the Coonabarabran community, after he lost his valuable possessions while whipper-snipping.

Mr Peck was working outside the Orana Smash Repairs building in Coonabarabran’s industrial estate, when he found himself covered in ‘bindis’.

He removed his valuables from his pocket and set them atop his boss’s work utility vehicle, but as his boss drove away, so went Mr Peck’s keys, phone, and wallet!

Mr Peck ran after the ute, however, was unable to locate his personal items. Despite retracing the vehicle’s path throughout town, he had no luck, so his next step was to check at the police station.

With luck, a member of the public had turned his wallet and keys

into the police, but the whereabouts of his phone remained a mystery.

The Coonabarabran Community Noticeboard on Facebook became his only hope in finding the flip phone.

Local resident, Kathy West reached out and said she had found the phone near the tennis courts. Ms West said that when Mr Peck tried to ring the phone, her niece answered and hung up, without telling Ms West about the call.

After being in contact via Facebook, Ms West delivered the phone to Mr Peck’s worksite work the following day, where she met his work mate.

“He was telling me how Steve was having a hard time and was struggling to find a place,” Ms West said.

“His phone was broken and all I thought about was, how could he contact his wife and kids when he was at work.

“I didn’t want him to worry about where he would find the money for a new phone.”

Ms West informed her mother about the situation, and together they pooled their resources to purchase Mr Peck a new phone.

“It only takes one

person to show that the world isn’t so bad,” Ms West said.

“I believe in giving back to people and passing on good deeds.

I never grew up rich, so I can understand how hard it can be.”

Mr Peck said he was grateful to everyone who

returned his items.

While he hasn’t been living in the area for very long, Mr Peck said, “I’ll always want to live here.

This town is something else!”

So, one kind act can restore a person’s faith in humanity and the world.

New to Coonabarabran, Steven Peck was humbled to be the beneficiary of a random act of kindness.

Funds flow for flood damage repairs Flood repair and restoration works are continuing through the Shire, after funding was provided for natural disaster events in 2021 and 2022.

A c r o s s t h e Warrumbungle Shire, roads and infrastructure were severely damaged due to multiple flood events.

Two years ago, the Australian Government and the NSW Government declared the events as natural disasters within the Local Government Area (LGA).

To repair damages caused by the natural disasters, Council secured Government funding under the joint Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, obtaining $10.57 million in funding for the 2021 Natural Disaster event.

Current road crews have been funded to focus on Council’s Flood Damage Repair Program. Due to amount of work to be completed, Council engaged more contractors and additional staff to help with restoration works.

Urban Service teams from outside the area were also acquired to assist road crews.

Funding applications for the 2022 Natural Disaster event secured $7.4 million towards the Flood Damage Program.

Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, councillor Ambrose Doolan said Council is waiting to obtain the 2022 Natural Disaster funding before scheduling further works.

“Road crews have been focusing their time on the Flood Damage Repair Program to make a dent in these defects and get our road network repaired in a timely manner,” Cr Doolan said.

“The funded restoration works will take some time to be completed; in some cases, works may take up to two years.

“Road users are reminded to take extra care when travelling the roads across the Warrumbungle LGA. Drive to the conditions of the road and be mindful of Council plant and crews working.”

Current scheduled works involve

Creenaunes Lane, Indians Lane, Salaks Road, Wyuna Road, Turee Vale Road, Walker Road, Avonside Road and Tonniges Road.

The funding deadline for the 2021 event is 30 June, 2024, however, to ensure funds will be spent, Council will seek an extension to March 2025.

Funding will be cut for the 2022 events by June 2025.

Cr Doolan said the Pothole Repair Program was completed by 31 December in 2023.

The State Government provided $864,000 to repair potholes across the LGA, with funding due to be cut in January 2024.

A total of 22,045 potholes were repaired on regional, local and urban roads.

Road works completed throughout the Shire included sealing and road rehabilitation, guard-rail installations, the replacement of two timber bridges and roadwidening constructions.

The survey was undertaken by a group of concerned community members.

W he n a s k e d wh at symptoms were exper ienced by the declaration of the CWO REZ , 66 respondents listed ‘anxiety’.

Increased stress was a l s o depic t ed i n t he results, while 36 people said they had increased outbursts of anger.

An increase in a lc ohol c on su mpt ion and increased isolation was also noted in the findings.

Since the declaration of the C WO RE Z , Energy Co has facilitated community meetings and engaged with landowners.

L andowners who have not w i l l i ngly signed a deal are currently experiencing Energy Co’s compulsory acquisition process.

Landowners are offered compensation, however, D u nedo o local, Emma Bowman said construction and transmission lines were not yet finalised.

“Farmers are struggling to keep up w ith r u n n i ng thei r l ive s a nd m a n a g i n g contracts. Duties are put second hand.

“Making everything happen now puts t o o much pr es su r e on landow ners and communities.”

Mrs Bowman, alone, has put in more than 70 hours of her own time t o resea rch the R E Z projects and inform the community.

S he h a s me t w it h Government ministers and the CEO of Energy Co, to find none of the c om mu n it y c onc er n s had travelled up the line.

R e c e n t l y, P e n ny Sharpe, Minister for Cl i mat e Cha nge, Energy and the Environment, met with three transmission line a f fe c t e d l a ndow ner s and half a dozen Dunedoo farmers.

Not much came from that or the meeting with James Hay, the CEO of Energy Co. “ We r e a l i s e d none of our concerns from Energy Co’s community engagement meetings had travelled up the line. It is concerning.”

As there is no ma x i mu m c apac it y stated on the CWO REZ projects, Mrs Bowman expressed her concern for the rest of the Shire.

She explained how Dunedoo has pushed Energy Co for mentalhealth support due to the relentless pace at which the projects are moving, however, she s a id E ner g y C o h a s done little to address community concerns.

“Dunedoo and Coolah are most affected,” Mrs Bowman said. “ Until it is on your doorstep, it does not seem that bad.”

A western warrior’s walkabout style Representing First Nations’ art through his business, Walkabout Warriors, Daniel Evans has recently collaborated with popular fashion brand, Ringers Western, to bring Indigenous art to the forefront.

by GEORGIA SPENCE It marks the first time Ringers Wester n has rep resented F i r st Nations art through its clothing and lifestyle brand.

M o s t l y, h e s e e s i t a s a n o p p o r t u n i t y to b a n d together as a community and as a nation.

T h e a r t p i e ce c re ate d for the collaboration was inspired by his connection to Countr y and his environment.

T h e G a m i l i a ra a y a r t i s t practices techniques used in traditional dot work, to inspire a sense of ‘oneness’.

Previously, Mr Evans has collaborated with big named companies such as the NRL, Budgy Smugglers a n d St r u d d y’s s p o r t i n g apparel.

He creates custom Indigenous football jerseys, boots and rugby balls, as well as custom art pieces.

Walkabout Warriors was developed to tell his stor y a n d p rov i d e s u p p o r t fo r others in the process.

E stablished in 2017, the business is based on three m a i n co m p o n e nt s – a r t, mentoring and fitness.

Through these areas, Mr Evans helps people achieve thei r goal s, lea r n how to express themselves and to provide a safe space.

Personal life experience inspired the actions he took towards becoming a role model. “ I n eve r had a m ento r growing up,” Mr Evans said. “ I a i m to b e s o m e o n e people can lean on, especially kids. “ We n e e d to va l i d a te o u r e m ot i o n s . I t i s re a l l y i m p o r ta n t w h e n w e a r e growing up.”

“Sometimes people can’t talk, so I open the space for them to paint. To connect to their emotions in another way.”

M r Eva n s had a l ways used art as a means to selfexpression.

Growing up for 12 years in Coonabarabran, he found himself disconnected from culture.

He said there was little opportunity to learn about ancestral ways, due to the s h a m e a n d g u i l t a ro u n d b e i n g I n d i g e n o u s at t h e time.

E xper iencing trauma at a young age, Mr Evans struggled to speak up.

He turned to art as his way of expressing the emotions h e fe l t, a n d b e g a n h i s healing journey.

“I am a stor y teller. The s to r y te l l i n g t h a t co m e s through my art is my gift to the world.”

Whi le he doesn’t pa i nt with a plan in mind, his inspi ration comes from spending time in nature.

Currently residing on the Gold Coast, Mr Evans said he had been considering a retu r n back home to Coonabarabran to create a mural.

Once app roved, the mural will be placed under Mary-Jane Cain Bridge and its creation would involve both Indigenous and non-

indigenous kids.

“The popular speedshear competition returns, featuring some of ou r best r eg ion a l shearers vying for some great prizes. This event i s now t u r n i n g i nt o a sport and we want to celebrate that and the importance of the shearing industry to our town. We are hoping this event once again draws a big crowd.”

The Baradine CWA once again throws down the gauntlet in the men’s cooking challenge, seeking entries in the muff in category, and there will be prizes for child ren in the Most U nu s u a l S m a l l P e t

competition.

The show has become a pinnacle event in the c om mu n it y, a s e ac h year the local committee works t o h igh l ight agricultural excellence wh i le pr omo t i n g a n awareness of the town’s proud rural heritage. “ The committee works hard to refocus the show program each year and keep its core ag r icultural roots to deliver an event that is a showcase for the town and a great day out for everyone, Mrs Harris said. “ I am con f ident i n what we have achieved a nd lo ok for wa rd t o another successful event this time around.”

The silver is sparkling and the brass is gleaming, ready for St John’s Catholic Church centenary celebrations As it reaches its century milestone, the church continues its tradition of welcoming both locals and visitors to share in the celebration of their Catholic faith.

St John the Baptist Church was built during 1923-24 and blessed and opened on 16 March 1924. This was the second Catholic Church to be built in Baradine. The first, a small timber building, was consecrated by Right Reverend D. R. Dunne, Bishop of Bathurst, on 27 August, 1903.

The good people of Baradine built a Union Church, a small timber building on the corner of Narren and Macquarie Streets. It was always believed that the Catholics shared this church with other congregations, but history tells us the fund-raising to build this church only started in 1902. So, by this time, the original Catholic Church would have been either in use or in construction.

When the current church was built, the old church was left standing and used by the Sisters of St Joseph as a school, when they arrived in 1926. This building was later knocked down in order to build the new school building in 1955.

St John’s Catholic Church is now the oldest church in Baradine. It is still

used every week for Mass and has been a part of the lives of many generations.

The church’s centennial falls on Saturday, 16 March, however, in consideration of the Baradine Show taking place on that day, the decision was made to hold the celebration on Sunday, 17 March. Festivities will begin with Mass at 10.30am, followed by the dedication of two plaques.

Bishop Michael McKenna, the Bishop of Bathurst, will preside over the ceremony.

After the formal program, guests will have the opportunity to explore memorabilia and photos showcased in the Convent. Refreshments will be provided, offering attendees a chance to reconnect with old friends and reminisce over cherished memories.

A dedicated committee has been diligently organizing this celebration to ma rk the chu rch’s centenn ia l m i lest one. T hey ex t end a wa rm invitation to everyone to partake in this special occasion, delving into the rich history of the church and the town.

Members of the Baradine Show committee took part in a working bee to erect a new arena fence in time for the 2024 event.

• CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY •

Do women help the town go round?

As seen throughout Coonabarabran, a woman can provide a sense of reliability and empowerment when involved with a community, business or industry.

by GEORGIA SPENCE This year, the theme for International Women’s Day is “Inspire Inclusion”, and emphasises the importance of diversity and empowerment in all aspects of society.

A key g o a l o f t h e theme is to promote the diversity of women in leadership and decisionmaking positions.

Coonabarabran has a high percentage of females in leading roles.

Take a walk around town and you will find most local businesses are owned, operated or managed by women.

There are two fema le d i recto r s at Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i re Council and many more in management roles, th ree female school principals, th e CE O of Coo i n d a

Coonabarabran is female, the chairperson of Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land Council is female.

Coonabarabran also has a high percentage of women in trades and non-traditional roles.

The list could go on…

I nte r nationa l Women’s Day affirms the commitment to creating a world where women feel empowered and included.

The celebration encourages both men and women to val ue themselves, their community and foster a sense of diversity.

A l t h o u g h Coonabarabran as a town appears to support the success of women, the national gender pay gap remains a concern.

I n a n a t i o n w h e re the cost of l iving is

slowly increasing, the right to equal financial opportunities remains of vital importance.

The Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGE A) found for every $1 a man makes in Australia, a women earns 78 cents.

The difference over the cou r se of a yea r adds up to $26,393.

The pay gap is not reflective of companies paying men and women varied amounts of money for the same work.

That is called unequal pay and has been illegal for over 50 years.

WGEA measure the g e n d e r p a y g a p by finding the difference between the average or median pay of women and men across organisations, industries and the workforce as a

whole.

For the first time, the WGEA has released data reflecting the gender pay gap for nearly 5,000 companies.

The data represents men working in higher paid roles within a company.

The data found some of the country’s largest and most recognisable industries had gender pays of around 30-40 per cent in favour of male employees.

WGEA said closing the pay gap requires cultural change.

They suggested businesses need to take action to increase the numbe r of women i n leadership positions and encourage flexible working arrangements for males.

Gender Pay Gap Myths MYTH: Women choose to work in lower paying roles Every industry in Australia has a gender pay gap favouring men.

MYTH: Women choose to stay home and care for their families Ideally, men and women should have equal opportunity to work and to care for their families. The gender pay gap shows women don’t have the same access to opportunities, leadership and rewards when they do choose to work.

MYTH: Women do not negotiate for better pay and are provided with the same opportunities as men Women and men ask for raises equally. Women often face bias in progression and promotional opportunities. Many employers don’t offer promotions for employees in part-time roles.

YOUR SAY: Do you think women are well-represented in our local business community?

I have noticed women own a lot of shops on the main street. I think it is amazing, Coonabarabran is a good place for opportunities for women and to start up a business – Michelle Jaggers

Women can juggle it all. In our industry women are leaders and are underestimated.

Financially, women are at the end of the food chain – Annie Lee, Talitha Jaeger and Tessa Smith

Leonie and I opened a shop because it was something we enjoyed and was a way to gain an extra income. Our husbands worked and supported us finacially too. Prezzie's was a side business – Rhonda Jewiss 9 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 7 March 2024

Saddlery is my background and my husband is my apprentice. Before I moved to Coona I owned a saddlery but the attidude was different. Men thought a woman couldn't do the job right. I showed them – Barbara Thompson

We live in an age where women are capable of anything. We do need to find a balance and value both men and women.

I am the manager and I do a great job, but the owner is a male and I value his persepctive – Mel Thompson

preparing the sheep for several weeks now during their lunch time. The sheep have become very quiet and easy to handle and they obviously enjoy the students’ company and companionship.

It is a huge commitment from the students and their families to attend the agriculture shows and we thank them all for their support with this valuable program within the school.

We h av e h ad l o t s and lots of birthday’s during February and lots of birthday parties and celebrations, both at preschool and at the park.

We loved making party hats, this then moved on to making masks and even ‘possum eye’ masks too! Friends have loved play ing d ramatically with these masks and, of course, our dress-ups. We have been spoiled with some lovely new dressups for our collection – some even came with a mask , so that has certainly added to our imaginative play.

A big game that the children invented, after requesting we get the tent out when outside, has been the campervan/ camping trip game. We had the tent and children decided it was a caravan, then a campervan, so we got the steering wheel out, along with pillows that were seats for us (our babies could ride in their capsules or prams) and we even found a map (of the North and South

Poles) that was perfect for our expedition to find Elsa and Anna’s castle in the ‘Frozen’ mountains.

We even found mountains (the jouncing boards) and we had a stop-over here to ski along the slopes before back to the camper van and more exploration.

With the hot weather coming this week, we

have moved this play t o i n s ide pr e s c ho ol , including the tent and with some more maps, for everyone to continue and enjoy their adventure.

We have been talking about where we live, our community, and our country and listening to stories about Australia, as well as singing some songs including “Walzing

Matilda”, “Give me a Home among the Gum Trees” and “Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree” in both English and Wiradjuri.

We’ve had some fun dance parties with both the piano and the CD’s: our preschool friends are really clever at moving and grooving to all sorts of dance music.

Tooraweenah preschoolers have enjoyed making masks.

Coonabarabran Public Throughout NSW schools a curriculum reform is currently underway. This involves changes in lesson content and delivery for all English and maths – a holistic learning approach that incorporated other key learning areas, and especially creative arts, which fills the lessons with interest and relevance.

All teachers in the school, from Kindergarten to Year 6, are immersing their students in fantastic learning experiences

from the new curriculum. This text rich and participation-based learning is relevant, insightful and will guide the change to better academic outcomes for our public schools across the state.

As part of the new syllabus, 2K Balaay students have been writing complex sentences with marvellous adjectives and doing an outstanding job of it too. Three of the best came from Jedd Britton, Lacey Stone and Bastien Hallett.

Clean Up Australia Day was

a very hot day, but a big success.

Despite the heat ,all students of CPS donned a pair of gloves and enthusiastically did their part for the national clean-up initiative by ridding the playground and boundaries of the school of every piece of rubbish and litter.

Everyone was so enthusiastic about the state of tidiness, that they vowed to keep it that clean for the rest of the year. Let’s hope they can manage it.

Flawed housing bill Last week I spoke i n Pa rl i a me nt i n opposition to Labor’s ‘Help to Buy’ Bill, wh i c h w i l l a l l o w first home buyers to purchase a property with just a two per c ent dep o sit . T he shared equity scheme will effectively see the G over nment become a 40 per cent part owner of your house.

There are so many unanswered q ue s t ion s a r ou nd how this will work – what if you want to renovate the house or sell it later on?

I’m not opposed to schemes that help people get into homes – home ownership is a n impor ta nt aspiration that will help secure families’ futures. However, the Coalition’s proposal of allowing people to use part of their sup era n nu at ion – their own money – for a deposit to get into the housing market i s a much mor e sensible solution.

There are a lot of other issues that the gover n ment c ou ld be dealing with that wou ld st i mu l at e the constr uction

a nd pu rchase of homes – such as encou rag i ng more young people to take up an apprenticeship so that we’ve got the skilled workforce to build more homes, or opening up Crown L a nd s o t h at ou r towns can expand – w ithout set t i ng up a scheme where lying next to you in bed is the Federal G over n ment a s a part owner in your home.

Farmers once again to foot the bill Our farmers will be the ones to pay for Labor’s biosecurity protection levy which was introduced to Pa rliament last week.

T he lev y will charge Australian farmers for the b i o s e c u r it y c o s t s importers pose bringing their product to Australia, however, t he B i l l introduced lacks any detail of the cost to farmers or how the levy will be collected.

Farmers already pay more than their fair share of taxes, and this is just another cost that will ultimately be passed onto consumers

Thoughts with Palestine My thoughts remain w ith all those impacted by the devastating

war in Gaza, as I continue my calls for an urgent ceasefire.

Last week, I met with representatives from Caritas Australia who updated me on the huma n ita r ia n crisis on the ground, wh i c h i s t e r r i bly concerning. Food is cr itica l ly low a nd people have a lack of access to the most basic of needs: clean water, safe shelter and medical care.

I never wanted to see th is situation be c ome a t opic of p ol it i c a l d iv i s i o n i n Austra l ia, but , unfortunately, it has be c ome ju st th at .

All I ask is that we don’t ta ke sides.

WEATHER WATCH Hobart has recorded its driest February with only 4.2mms, and the third driest behind 3.8mms in 2001 and 3.6mms in 1914.

T he mean-maximum temperature of 24.3 degrees for February made it the warmest February since 25 degrees in 2001.

Down south at Macquarie I s l a n d , F e b r u a r y, w i t h 133.6mms, was the third wettest in 75 years behind 136.6mms in 1988 and 147mms in 2022.

Both 1988 and 2022 were remarkably wet years in our regions, particularly from April onwards for most of the months up to December.

The coastal town of Yamba last year had its driest year with 724mms since 679mms in 1915, which did follow a wet year in 1914.

Other very dry years which also followed a wet year in Yamba were in 1880, 1885 and 1968 .

The first two months of 2024 at Yamba were notably warmer than usual. The mean-minimum temperatures for January and February were 23.0 and 22.8 deg rees respectively – the warmest since 1878 and equal warmest with 1879. 1887, 1898, 1980 , 1991 and 1998. March tended to be hot and dry and October and November also very hot after these episodes.

Perth has recorded its secondhottest summer on record. The mean-maximum temperature of 32.6 was 0.7 degrees below the record hottest summer of 202122. Perth recorded a number of days of over 40 degrees during February. The eight days of over 40 was double the previous record number of four days back in 1985.

Sydney also had a notable hot summer. The mean temperature

of 24.1 was the third hottest behind 24.6 in 1990-91 and 24.8 in 2016-17. On 26 January the dew-point temperature reached 26 degrees in Sydney, the highest on record. This high value often occurs in Darwin and Cairns.

It has been also a notable hot summer in Brisbane. The meanminimum temperature of 22.5 degrees was the highest in 165 years of records. The previous h ighest mea n-m i n i mu m temperature for any summer was 44 years ago in 1979-80, which was relatively dry in Victoria and NSW, but very wet in northern Queensland.

Brisbane, with 697mms, had its wettest summer for four years.

It h a s b e en a mo st o dd summer in the city of Melbourne, the highest temperature not reaching 38 degrees at all; compared with middle 40 ’s in the Mallee and low 40’s in Western parts of Victoria.

In both December and January the temperature reached 34.0 deg rees on Wed nesday, 13 December and 33.4 degrees on Friday, 12 January. This was the lowest pair of absolutemaximum temperatures for any December and January in the same summer going right back to 1855. There were only three other December to January periods in which the highest temperature failed to reach 35 degrees in the same summer.

These were 1864-65, 1930-31 and 1971-72.

The stage is still set to record our hottest day this year during the second week of March, and not much rainfall until the third or fourth week of April.

League draw revamped “It’s far from ideal!” admitted Castlereagh League secretary, Bryson Luff, “but given the background and the context in which it was framed it is seen as being much fairer to our first-grade teams and it was the option that our clubs unanimously voted to go with.”

L u f f wa s r efer r i ng t o a r e va mp e d 2 0 2 4 Castlereagh L eag ue draw that has just been released, adding that he was sure that the new draw will “cop some flack”, but challenged those who want to criticise it to come up with a better one given the circumstances that led to the new draw being made.

“To fully understand as to why the new draw had to be made, people must

realise what has led us to this point,” Luff said.

“The original draw was drafted back in November last year and presented at our AGM, where the 10 clubs adopted it. As were the wishes of the clubs, the draw was made over 14 rounds, which meant that clubs were (based on a draw from a hat) put into two pools of five, with clubs in each pool playing each other twice, and each club from the other

pool once.

“Clubs subsequently booked grounds and made arrangements based on that draw.

“In more recent times, we have unfortunately had both Dunedoo and B i n n aw ay w i t h d r aw f r om t he f i r s t - g r ade competition and, even more unfortunately, both those clubs were in the same pool. This meant that some f irst-g rade teams would have had four byes, some three and some two – which was obviously unfair.

“So, we were faced with the dilemma of having 10 clubs (Dunedoo and B i n n away s t i l l h ave league tag teams), eight w it h f i r s t g r ade , a n uneven number of byes in first grade, grounds booked, and trying to squeeze a n equ itable c o m p e t i t i o n i n t o 14 rounds for all grades.”

Mr Luff said that a recent general meeting, Castlereagh League clubs wer e pr e s ent e d w it h three options: 1. Keep the original draw; 2. Do an entirely new draw; or 3. Adopt a revamped draw that meant minimal changes to the original draw, but would result in all first-grade teams having an equal number of byes.

The third option was voted for unanimously.

It will see the addition of four first-grade games, but those games w i l l mean that every firstgrade team will have two byes only. “ Un fo r t u n at e ly, it will also mean that Coonabarabran will play Coonamble three times, as well as also playing Coolah three times in f i rst g rade,” M r Lu f f explained.

“As I said, it is far from

ideal, but it certainly is fairer for first grade teams than staying with the original draw, and it is far less disruptive than doing an entirely new

draw, which would have faced the same issues of first-grade teams having an unequal number of byes anyway!”

Coona cricketers fall short Coonabarabran’s cricket team lost its last scheduled game of the cricket season to Tooraweenah at Tooraweenah last Saturday.

In what turned out to be a wonderful day for cricket, Coona won the toss and chose to bat in a game that saw 16 wickets fall and nearly 400 runs scored.

and at end of the 20th over were 2 -102 , Nick W i l loughby ’s 6 3 a highlight.

They went on with the job in the second part of their allotted 40 overs, further solid contributions coming from Eben Botha (44), Anthony Harris (35), Koopa Thompson (19) and Steve Hallett (14). When they were bowled out with two balls remaining of their 40 overs, the score was 195.

Best bowling figures for Tooraweenah were registered by Jon Kilby (424) and Locky Ferguson (3-38).

Tooraweenah started their run chase at a good pace and reached 33 in the 9th over before losing their first wicket. They found themselves 2-84 at the 20-over mark, Ben Jenkin’s 45 a highlight, and the game was there for either side to win.

W hen play resumed, Tooraweenah increased

their scoring rate and, while wickets fell regularly, Coona didn’t ta ke enough t o w in, Tooraweenah scoring the 196 needed for victory with eight balls to spare.

I n add it i o n t o B e n Jenkin, main contributors with the bat were Paul L ambell (71), Pete Rothwell (27) and Bevan Peart (10 not out).

Most successful bowlers for Coona were Cameron Whittall (2-36) and Nick Willoughby (2-32).

It was a disappointing loss for Coona, but a n e x c el lent g a me o f cricket to complete the preliminary rounds of the competition.

Despite the shor t straight at Tottenham, Blewitt was content to settle the t opweight Tupou near last on the inside.

When the field fanned on the home turn, Tupou ($5) shot to the lead on the rails and held on to beat Linden Tree (Grady Spokes, $2.60 favourite) by a shor t ne ck , w ith Planet Ex (Eloise Drews, $4.40) a long head away, third.

Trained at Dubbo by Clint Lundholm, Tupou, at the previous start, had beaten Linden Tree by a nose in the Bedgerabong Picnic Cup, while Linden Tree had gone on to win the Condobolin P icn ic Cup the following week.

Ricky Blewitt kicked off the day by winning t he op en i n g event on Lucky imw ithaimee for Narromine trainer, Wayne Collison.

On the rails and travelling near the lead, Lucky imw ithaimee ($2 . 5 0 t o $2 . 3 0 fav) edged past Juliette Street (Zara Lewis, $4) to score

Completing his treble, Ricky Blewitt coaxed an extra effort from Ready For Lift Off in the 1400 metres Class B Handicap.

Owned by R obert Gainsford and trained at Narromine by Kylie Kennedy, Ready For Lift Of f ($ 4 . 2 0), raci ng on the inside, surrendered the lead approaching the home tu r n , but u nder strong riding from Ricky Blewitt came again to prevail in a three-way photo finish from Intense (Zara Lewis, $21) and Mr Cosmic (Grady Spokes, $15).

T he big crowd at Tottenham was treated to yet another wonderful performance by the “ Wa r r ior of the West ” – the 11-year-old Billy Bent Ear. Izzy Neale, who rode her career-first winner l a st we ek on S c r u f f ’s M ag ic at C ondob ol i n , was g iven the r ide on Billy Bent Ear by Dubbo trainer, Connie Greig.

• CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY •

Straight to the pool room: another award for Poi Poi Birtles is taking the lead in encouraging women to participate in rugby, with her latest award recognising her leadership and resilience.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Poi Birtles’ leadership st y l e has ea r ned the Coonabarabran rugby league coach and trainer an award, with her efforts honoured by the Far West Academy of Sport (FWAS).

N o m i n ate d fo r t h e Regional Coach in Leadership Award, Mrs B i r t l es p ro ce ed ed to state level where she was was the only female nominee.

Winning the awa rd against a field of men, some of which had wor ked with Olympic athletes, was an honour for Mrs Birtles.

The award recognises how coaches provide support to their communities and how they engage athletes in a safe space.

After winning the award, Mrs Birtles noted the empowerment and connection women had in the room.

“The amount of men at the awards was i n t i m i d a t i n g - to b e

able to stand up and be given that award was really power ful. Ever y coach did amaz ing things,” Mrs Birtles said.

“I’m tr ying to encourage women in sport - female coaches as well as players, and the re i s a sho r tage of female coaches a ro u n d. I t r y to g i ve them hope and sense of belonging. Anyone can do this.

“I don’t know how I win these awards. I know I tr y to wor k with the players and not against them.

“I can stretch thei r abilities and push b o u n d a r i e s , to s h ow them how far they can go. I try to encourage them as much as possible, build resilience and not settle for less.”

Mrs Birtles has ex pe r i enced p l ay i ng rugby at a professional level as a fomer Jillaroo.

She said her exper ience al lowed her to transfer the lens from player, to coach, in order to understand what her team might be

feeling.

As a coach, she aims to provide players with a sense of hope and belonging.

Through the FWAS, she is able to specialise in development with her

athletes.

The academy builds on developing athletic skills and life skills in order to find a balance in life, sport and education.

Mrs Birtles said a s e n s e of co nf i d e n ce

and balance was an i mpo r tant pa r t of success.

In the spirit of International Women’s D a y, M r s B i r t l e s e n co u ra g e d wo m e n who want to coach “to

take a leap” and give it a go.

“It is all about adapting to programs.

I want to get mo re females in that space and show them they can do it,” she said.

“I am lucky enough to have female staff and management team.

We get it done and we empower each other.

“Once you get past the nerves, everything else comes naturally.”

The award keep rolling for Coonabarabran’s tireless volunteer rugby league coach, Poi Birtles, who pipped the competition to take out the Regional Academy of Sport “Coach in Leadership Award”.

First GrainCorp grain train runs on Narrabri to North Star line NORTH STAR Another major milestone has been reached on the Narrabri to North Star (N2NS) section of Inland Rail with the first GrainCorp train in more than six years traveling on the track north of Moree to load canola from the GrainCorp silos in Croppa Creek, around sixty kilometres north east of Moree.

The Pacific National train loaded up to 55 tonnes of canola into each of its 48 wagons at the Croppa Creek GrainCorp site, carrying a total of approximately 2600 tonnes of product, and is the first of a dozen trains that will be loaded out of Croppa Creek in the next month.

The canola was transported to the Port of Newcastle from where it would be sent on to Europe. Transporting this volume of canola by road would have required fifty B-double trucks driving across New South Wales roads, increasing transport carbon emissions.

However, residents in the region are advised that with commercial trains now accessing the line north of Moree once again, all road users are reminded to look out for trains at level crossings.

Delivering the N2NS phase one project was always about building a better, safer, and more resilient rail line that would create new opportunities for primary producers in regional Australia and this milestone is evidence of that.

PETER BORRELLI The N2NS project started construction back in 2021 and major construction on phase one of the project was completed in October last year.

The N2NS phase one project included upgrading 176km of track along the existing rail corridor.

Inland Rail also completed upgrades to seven bridges, enhanced safety at 57

level crossings with 10 passive level crossings upgraded to active with bells, lights, and boom gates, and has improved telecommunications for local communities.

The upgrades deliver a more efficient and reliable line for local producers, boosting resilience against extreme weather events, with the track withstanding the worst flood in a decade to hit Moree in 2022.

Regional communities in the North West received an economic boost from the project, with $244 million spent with 137 local businesses, including nearly $9 million spent with First Nations businesses.

More than 2000 people worked on the project, including 678 locals.

Phase two of the N2NS project, which involves further upgrades and building 2km of new track north of Moree, is currently in approvals with Inland Rail now preparing a Preferred Infrastructure Report and a Response to Submissions for the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.

Once phase two is completed, the upgraded track between Narrabri and North Star will allow freight customers to transport heavier freight volumes at higher speeds through its access to the Australian Rail Track Corporation Hunter Valley Rail Network, boosting their productivity and efficiency.

“It is a great moment for us to see the first GrainCorp train using the upgraded line to

access their facility at Croppa Creek” Peter Borrelli, Inland Rail project director Narrabri to North Star, said.

“Delivering the N2NS phase one project was always about building a better, safer, and more resilient rail line that would create new opportunities for primary producers in regional Australia and this milestone is evidence of that.

“The Narrabri to North Star phase one project brought with it an economic boost to communities in North West New South Wales, and we are looking forward to seeing more regional benefits in coming years with construction between Parkes and Albury prioritised for completion by 2027.

“Inland Rail will enhance our national freight and supply chain capabilities, connecting existing freight routes through rail, roads, and ports and supporting Australia’s growth.”

“Inland Rail’s upgrades to the rail line and the siding at Croppa Creek have enabled a safe and efficient transport of a bumper canola harvest from our facility to the port of Newcastle,”Mick Grant, GrainCorp area manager - Moree north cluster, said.

“We are proud to do our part utilising Inland Rail to reduce the carbon emissions of Australia’s freight industry – with each of our grain trains getting the equivalent freight volume of 50 B-double trucks off New South Wales roads.”

Exploring possibilities of pigeonpea The Grains Research and Development Corporation has partnered with the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Woods Group to explore pigeonpea as a new broadacre summer pulse crop option in Queensland and northern NSW. The projects build on previous DAF investment in 2020 that found that pigeonpea has clear potential to move beyond its current role as a trap or refuge crop for cotton, to become a key summer pulse crop for the northern grain growing region.

According to GRDC grower relations manager – north, Rebecca Raymond, this business case and subsequent industry engagement with stakeholders has pointed to the potential of pigeonpea to become a viable cropping option.

However, to establish a minimum viable industry, growers want to see viable and profitable varieties and evidence of a pathway to production success.

“Through consultation via GRDC’s National Grower Network, and building on previous work done by DAF, we know that the northern grains

industry needs a robust summer pulse that is easier to manage and more adaptable than current options, particularly for the drier and hotter regions of South West Queensland and North West NSW,” Ms Raymond said.

“DAF’s work will focus on new pigeonpea varieties and genetic research to support the industry, and the Woods Group will investigate the development of a full agronomic package, proving pathway to production success.

“Our goal is to provide Queensland and northern NSW growers with a new high-value crop option that not only adapts well to our summer conditions but also contributes to sustainable farming practices by reducing the need for nitrogen fertilisers."

According to principal research scientist at DAF Crop and Food Science, Bruce Winter, a number of field walks will give growers an opportunity to view the new pigeonpea lines first-hand.

“Queensland DAF is testing new lines of pigeonpea developed by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) that are characterised by earlier maturity and

Pigeonpea is being explored as a broadacre summer pulse crop option for the North West, as well as South West Queensland, as part of a new partnership between GRDC and the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.

pigeonpea and mungbean field walk at Warra.”

According to Woods Group director, Angus Woods, the development of agronomic resources for pigeonpea growers is essential for ensuring the development of a pigeonpea cropping industry in the region.

"Pigeonpea presents an exciting opportunity for Australian farmers. It's not just about diversifying crops but also about

shorter height, making them suitable for the northern region's conditions. We will be holding field walks to showcase the varieties throughout the start of 2024,” Mr Winter said.

“The first of these field walks was held at the Kingaroy Research Facility in January.

“These will be followed with a pigeonpea field walk at Tosari Crop Research Centre near Millmerran ... and a combined

tapping into new markets and leveraging the success we've seen with other pulses like chickpea and mungbean,” Mr Woods said.

“Our aim is to ensure that as we build this industry, growers have the necessary support and information to succeed, especially considering the significant market potential in the Indian subcontinent, where pigeonpea is a staple.”
