Coona welcomes Dr Blythe Coonabarabran’s newest doctor is enjoying meeting people, but laments the challenges of accessing specialist services and avoiding staff burnout.

by CHRIS WARD It is almost four months into his stint in Coonabarabran and the town’s newest doctor, Jackson Blythe, has well and truly settled into his role and the community.

Working out of the Warrumbungle Medical Centre, the young doctor was born and raised in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast before heading off to Orange to begin his medical career.

After two and a half years in Orange it was time for him to move on.

H e s a i d t h e Coonabarabran job he applied for was one of only a few at the time, but it was the concept of working with Dr Aniello Iannuzzi that was the driving force.

“Nello is renowned as one of the best supervisors to work under, so it was a bit of a no brainer,” Dr Blythe said.

“So far I’m having a great time. I’m amazed by how welcoming the community is.”

Dr Blythe said he would more than likely remain in Coonabarabran until August of 2024 before moving on to continue his studies.

He did say that eventually he would like to return to a small

regional community like Coonabarabran.

“This type of community would be ideal,” he said.

“Getting to know and understand people and their families is something I enjoy.

“It’s a luxury of having that time with patients and being able to follow up with them that you don’t get in bigger places.”

While Dr Blythe spoke positively about his experience, he also noted several challenges he had come to accept that go hand in hand with working regionally.

“It can be very difficult to access different health services and the social complexes are amplified by living in a rural area,” he said.

“For something as simple as a CT scan, in Orange you would just send someone down the hallway and around a corner.

“Here, it is a full day process to send a patient to Dubbo or elsewhere.

“The distances involved for both patients and for doctors is one of the biggest challenges.

“Coonabarabran isn’t as bad off as some other places.

“There are some specialists that come out here once a month and

we’re very lucky to have those services.”

Dr Blythe said another issue plaguing the area was staffing.

He said there was massive pressure on nurses that was causing burnout.

“We need lots of nurses and some doctors would be good too,” he said.

“But the pressure on the nursing staff is pretty tough at the moment and we really need more to prevent burnout.”

With his heavy work schedule and his trips back to Orange to visit his fiancée, Dr Blythe has had limited chances to take in the Warrumbungle Shire.

“My current goal is to visit all the little surrounding towns in the area like Binnaway and Baradine,” he explained.

“I want to be able to have an understanding of the towns a patient comes from if they come in from out of Coonabarabran.

“I do a bit of wildlife photography so I’ve been out to the Warrumbungles a bit.”

Dr Blythe is not just good with a stethoscope and a camera however, as the doctor also enjoys writing music and playing the bass guitar and piano.

Doctor Jackson Blythe looks back at his first few months in Coonabarabran.

It’s a long wait for Couple injured the optometrist in Newell crash

by CHRIS WARD Optometrists seem to be in short supply in the west, with Coonabarabran’s only eye specialist, Tim Duffy’s Vision Splendid, booked out and struggling to keep up with demand.

M r D u f f y pr ac t ic e s out of premises in John Street once a week, but he and his staff including Alison Stuart and Lauren F inlay have, at times,

been attempting to clear through the backlog by work i ng a second day when possible.

Staff member Charlie Smith said it was difficult attracting qualified staff and the current roster was spread across four different office locations. “ We h ave c l i n i c s in Moree, Narrabr i and Gunnedah, but Coonabarabran is where it all started for Tim,”

she said. “ S o it ’s kind of like the centre for us. Our staff travel between the different offices, so we really do our best.”

At the Coonabarabran c l i n i c t he r e i s a b out a mont h’s wa it for appointments.

“December is starting to fill up at the moment,” Ms Smith said.

“At th is stage most Coonabarabran residents

who need an appointment w i l l pr obably have t o t r av e l t o G u n n e d a h , but we try our best to accommodate people who can’t or struggle to travel.”

The lack of optometrists and staff is nothing new within the health sector, with well-publicised issues i n r e g ion a l ho spit a l s and other allied health pr ofessions i mpacti ng residents.

by CHRIS WARD A n elderly Baradine couple survived an horrific accident on T hu rsday, 1 December, when the v e h i c l e t h e y we r e i n collided with a truck.

The incident happened just before 5pm on the Newell Highway, about 15 kilometres south of

Coonabarabran.

A la rge complement of emergency ser v ices descended on the scene, w ith the V R A g roup having to work for some time to free the trapped female.

The 84-year-old suffered f rom chest a nd pelv ic injuries and was flown by Westpac Rescue Helicopter in a stable condition to the

Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital.

The only other occupant of the vehicle, the woman’s husband, was transported

by NSW A mbulance Paramedics to the Coonabarabran Hospital.

The condition of the man is still unknown.

T he d r iver of the truck escaped relatively unscathed.

The Newell Highway, south of Coonabarabran, was closed for some time last Thursday, following a motor vehicle accicent.

Diving into the season

The Coonabarabran Memorial Swimming Pool is now open to the public for limited hours, with a weekly timetable updated each Friday on Warrumbungle Shire Council’s website.

by EMMA HARVEY Outside of bookings for school activities, season ticket ‘Key Ho lde r s’ can use their electronic tag to access to the pool f rom 6 a m - 6 p m d a i l y, w it h o ut lifeguard supervision.

For individuals and fa m i l i es, a n a n n ua l (s i xmonth) season ticket remains the same cost a s p rev i o u s ye a r s ($13 5 individuals, $269.50 family pass), however, Senior Card holders can now enjoy a 50 per cent discount ($67.50).

Half-season passes are also available, however they

run strictly from October 2022 – December 2022 or from January 2022 – April 2023. With pool openings t h i s s e a s o n d e l a ye d by almost seven weeks, a sixmonth pass beginning in Janua r y seems the most economical option.

Each pool in the Shire is subject to their own opening times in accordance with pool attendant availability.

T imetables, fees and charges for all pools are updated each Friday on the Council’s website.

Plans to upgrade Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i r e Council has secured

3 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 8th December 2022

$200,000 to begin redevelopment plans for the Coonabarabran Memorial Swimming Pool.

The masterplan for the pool, which was originally constructed in the 1950s, will include a recreation building and a new heated program. Pool length will be reduced to 25 metres, to accommodate a new learn-to-swim and exercise area, as well as widening th e poo l fo r w h ee l ch a i r accessibility.

The $200,000 comes from a $560 million Resources for Regions program by the State Government, focussed

on supporting communities across regional NSW impacted by mining.

Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i re Council mayor, Cr Ambrose Doolan, sa id the money is a “vital first step in the development in the muchneeded redevelopment of the Coonabarabran Pool.”

After a previously unsuccessful $ 8 mi l l ion application for upgrades to t h e C o o n a b a r a b r a n Pool as part of the Building Better Regions grant, this new approach hopes to get the project “shovel-ready” in time for the next round of funding.

Aboriginal Learning Centre open day A group of Aboriginal Elders and community members attended the Aboriginal Learning Centre open day at the Coonabarabran TAFE campus on Thursday, 1 December.

by JIMMY WHALAN A f t er delays due t o COVID-19, the opening of the new facility was led by Aboriginal education and engagement co-ordinator for Coonabarabran, M rs Nata l ie L ittle, who explained how the Abor ig inal L earning Centre came to fruition. “ The Aboriginal Learning Centre came ab out a s TA F E N S W wanted to do minor works to improve the facilities on the campus and provide a culturally-appropriate and safe-learning environment where community can feel recognised and comfortable to learn,” Mrs Little said.

Engagement with the local community saw the spac e de c or at e d w it h artworks created by local Elder, Aunty Beryl Dowd, who gave an insight on the meaning of her artworks.

Aunty Beryl explained that her painting titled ‘The Spirits Are Watching,’ showed a st or y about Aboriginal youth who take the wrong path in life.

“This painting and the story will let them know there is always someone watching who cares and is waiting for them to change their lives and to come home,” Aunty Beryl said.

“ T he la rge ci rcle in the middle is Aboriginal c ommu n it y ; the la rge c u r ve d l i ne s a r e t he mou nta i ns; the eyes represent the past Elders watching the youth; the small circles are the homes of the youth, and the small broken lines with circles are the youth trying to find their way back to their Aboriginal Community.

“The floating spirits are watching our youth, trying to guide them home.”

Aunty Beryl’s artwork is also displayed through the new furniture in the learning centre.

With the help of Richie and Lester, from Form Line group in Tamworth, custom-made furniture was created, displaying Au nt y B er yl ’s de s i g n throughout the seating in the new learning centre.

It wasn’t on ly the fu r n itu re that was upgraded, but also the technology.

“They also upgraded the technology with a laptop station housing 30 laptops a nd a la rge moveable monitor that can suit any style of delivery,” Mrs Little said.

Attendees were treated to a morning tea catered by Yaama Café, with everyone enjoying the open day.

Weekly sheep and cattle market wrap • • •

The largest monthly cattle and sheep yardings seen in 2022 have put pricing pressure on indicators Drier conditions in sheep-producing regions increased yardings with mixed quality Cattle slaughter reached its highest level for 2022

Cattle November cattle yardings have come in at the highest monthly yardings in two years. The last time monthly yardings were above 220,000 head was in November 2020, when producers continued to liquidate numbers to rebuild balance sheets and capitalise on strong market prices. Yardings in November increased 49% on last month, showing how drier weather and cattle coming to market weights ca n i n f luence numbers. This inevitably puts downward pressure on prices, as can be seen across all indicators.

O n We d ne s d ay, t he E ast er n You ng Cattle Indicator (EYCI) rolling average th roughput

reached its highest level since April 2019 at 20,082 head. Roma, who contributed the most to the indicator, saw a 5% increase in yardings. Most prices at the saleyard held firm. The indicator’s price has softened 6% weekon-week, its lowest level since April 2021. A greater supply of young cattle and f inished cattle hitting market are mostly coming out of NSW. This increase in NSW cattle supply is a product of the herd rebuild and the delivery of spring 2020 and autumn 2021 calf drops reaching turnoff and processor weights.

T he rol l i ng average throughput through the feeder st eer i nd icat or also rose on Wednesday.

The proportion of heavier

steers moving through the indicator has increased to 42% this week. This increased yarding has caused the indicator to soften 15c week-on-week to 450.65c/kg lwt.

Sheep T he s a me s t o r y o n ya rd i ngs is o c cu r r i ng in the sheep market as well. November monthly yardings have increased 27% to 1,370,230.

Seasonally, yardings do increase through spring w ith the f lush of new season lambs hitting the market.

Drier weather in key sheep-producing regions is causing some reports of qua lity issues w ith f lystrike. This could be seen at Wagga Wagga on Thursday, where a higher

proportion of secondary lambs were present.

Greater supply i n the ma rket a nd ch a ng i ng demand based on quality has softened the market this week.

Forbes also had good numbers at the saleyard with mixed quality. A good supply of heav y lambs created stronger pricing pressures for these.

The mutton indicator has softened 132c weekon-week with yardings increasing by 32%.

Ballarat contributed 20% t o the i nd ic at or. Ewe numbers at the saleyard increased by 900 head, placing pricing pressure on these sales.

Volatility in the sheep market and variation in quality continue to have an

impact on buyer demand and prices.

Slaughter Cattle slaughter reach its highest point in 2022 at 105,093 head. Slaughter h a s o n ly c ome a b o v e 100,000 head five times this year, with this week increasing 4% week-onweek and 9% on this time last year.

G o at sl aug ht er h a s further recovered from its 2022 low three weeks ago to hit 16,455.

Sheep and lamb slaughter has come back this week with Victorian lamb slaughter softening 13% week-on-week and sheep slaughter reduced by 8,196 head in the state. © Meat & Livestock Australia Limited, 2022

OBITUARY

Fred Clancy 15.10.1946 - 30.04.2022 F reder ick William Cla ncy was bor n at Nu r s e Taylor ’s on 15 October, 1946, however, Coonabarabran wasn’t to be his home town until much later in life.

Home for F r ed wa s G wa b e g a r, w it h h i s parents, Fred and Mae, siblings Kevin, Eileen, John, Peter and Sue. Here his parents provided a home that was to be the foundation of his li fe.

Family was top priority, how to love, how to be honest and true to yourself and all those around you, how to care for others, how to be a fun loving person, how to be a top card player, how to ride horse, how ‘not’ to milk the family cow, how to play most sports, how to wrap his siblings around his little finger - only to get the family name of ‘Golden Boy’ - and this he did with vigour and delight.

Early schooling was at Gwabegar public school u nt i l 19 5 9 , when h i s parents then made the decision to send him to Coonabarabran to board for the school week and return

home for the weekends.

Fred suffered badly from homesickness, but endured this, only to be struck down by rheumatic fever during his first year, resulting in nearly 12 months of complete home bed rest under the watchful eye of Dr A.J. Kerr, where an enduring friendship commenced.

It was here that manipulating his brothers and sisters got the polished effect - and they attest he did it well.

Rheumatic fever governed his life from that time on. Fred was not permitted to play any sport until his fourth year of school, but once the okay was given every sport was in play well and truly.

Tennis, basketball, golf, athletics and, of course, rugby league were high on his list he made the school open rugby league team and was then named winger for Paul Montgomery’s best ever open team.

Sport would go on to be a dominate part of Fred's life - the love of playing and the

love of being the spectator of all sports.

In 1963 Fred was elected school captain and he proved to be a very active and popular school captain.

The last year of school in 1963 was 5th year. A big year for all of us and more so for Fred and I (Judy Clancy). We had always been in the same class since 1959, however, in the last term of 4th year things changed a little.

Every Friday night the Savoy Theatre was the place most Coonabarabran people frequented - going to the ‘pictures’. It was always packed, the Jaffas regularly rolled down the stairs, the oldies sat down in the dress circle and the young’uns sat up in the back circle. But once those lights went out the noise of the young blokes jumping over the seats to where all the girls were sitting was loud and regular and when Mrs Weekes’ torch was pointed to the back stalls, we generally knew which boy made the seat beside you or had told the girl beside you to “move over”. And here started the romance of Fred and Judy 1962 to 2022.

It wasn’t until 1969 that we finally tied the knot and in the meantime careers for both of us were in the banking scene - Sydney to Dubbo for Fred and after our marriage, to Narromine.

Geraldene arrived in May 1972 and we moved to Kempsey when she was eight days old. It was then time to go into private enterprise and being a publican the next stage - a real life experience and education in Oxford Street, Woollahra, only to change again after Katrina arrived in 1974.

F r e d we nt b a c k t o banking, travelling into the city each day by train.

Whilst on annual holidays the Granville train disaster occurred - the train Fred caught every day for work with two of his Rural Bank mates. That day each one of them were lucky enough not to be on the train, however, it was the catalyst for change making. Fred wanted a better lifestyle for raising a family so

Coonabarabran here we came on 7.7.77 - never to leave again.

The town was the same, lots of friends still here so we settled in with ease ,with Fred becoming the local milkman. How this venture suited Fred! At that time the milk run was divided into two servicing areas. The business in the morning starting at 6am until 1pm and the home deliveries starting at 3pm until 8pm. Binnaway three days a week in the gap of 1pm to 3pm - a very busy and long day but, Fred thrived with this. For six days a week the routine never varied.

Morning tea break was always at the Imperial with Noel, Kevin and Robyn or the top shop with Bryan, Patty and Penny. T he mischief corner was the Fish Shop, Chimpy’s and Barry Harper’s shop. Fred always parked his truck in the middle of the street for servicing this area, but quite regularly when he came out of the shops back to the truck it was not there...Barry would have driven it and parked it somewhere else, such were the shenanigans that went on from those boys and you can be sure they all reciprocated. Larrikinism was high on the agenda.

T he house milk run was done by Fred and one offsider and I think, over the time, we employed around 15 young school boys and only two girls - our Geraldene and Katrina.

Fred was in his element with the kids and the kids with him and I know each contributed to the others’ life and learning. Summer and winter six days a week they jogged from house to house, street to street, always in short shorts, getting to know everyone in town. No social media needed in those days. Fred met everyone who lived in town so the saying of “ask the milkman who lived where or who was new in town” is true.

A s we s e t t l e d i nt o a lifestyle our business grew. “You couldn't have a truck idle” he would say, so we added the state rail delivery contract to the day, then adding a bigger truck

for pickup in Gunnedah.

Baradine milk run was added to the day’s work, then the Binnaway School bus run and Coona town bus run, all along with the K R Darling Downs smallgoods. Then a bigger truck for milk freighting from Dubbo to Dunedoo then onto Coona.

F red and I were swapping trucks and buses: one in, one out - oh what you do when you are young.

Fred took up his sport of tennis and golf again, the kids were into tennis, sw imm i ng, basketba l l and more, but he didn’t stop there as he took on the roles president of the Tennis Club and president of Chamber of Commerce.

Coona was certainly back in his blood.

What would be next on the list? A holiday or two, lazy weekends, No! Council elections were coming up and the next thing there is a slogan in the Clancy household “I've got the time” and now Fred was on Council.

Council was his way of g iv i ng back t o ou r c o m m u n i t y. H e w a s dedicated and tenacious with his drive to put Coona in a sound and strong position for the future.

He wanted to bring the Council to the people and he set about that once he became mayor and here ‘Front Page Fred’ was born.

It was Fred’s privilege to work with Bob Geraghty, who he held in high esteem for his fairness, dedication and knowledge of local government. Fred also enjoyed a great relationship with the staff, with whom he felt it was his privilege to support.

To work with and for the community was special to Fred - to achieve even better - and I know he did it with honour, humility, fairness and honesty. Going to the executive council of Local Government enlightened and educated him on Local Government and instilled it in his blood.

E ven a s h i s he a lt h faded this year he was still getting me to drive him out to see road works, out to Binnaway and Baradine to check on projects, out and around the Purlewaugh

roads, but I drew the line going to Dunedoo and Coolah. But on trips to Dubbo we always checked out Mendooran.

His town and community spirit never waned.

F rom our Sydney connection an association formed with the Belrose Rotary Club and for about six years from 2012 Fred would go to Sydney with car and trailer to receive Tree of Joy Christmas presents for needy children, bringing back 250-plus gifts - from balls, dolls, Lego to bikes. Working with two groups in town and later with Dave Maher, they would distribute them throughout our community.

It wasn’t until about 2018 Fred handed this over to our local Rotary Club, who now facilitate getting and distributing the generous gifts from city families.

At this time, with all that was going on, family life never failed, it only grew in strength and dedication.

Fred’s devotion to family life was number one, along with the nurturing of his children. They were never without their father being at their side, making sure we did everything together for all his life. Even with this busy life, he always went the extra mile to be at all the family events.

This would meant working long hours in the day, then travelling into the night to get to family functions miles away.

In retirement we

shared many family trips together with the girls, and Fred’s brothers and sisters, my family and our many friends - making new friendships along the way.

The Italian and Greek cultures were brought into our life with a special gift from Nello and Eve - that of introducing Fred to the pleasure of red wine and bringing four young ‘adoptive grandchildren, all boys’ into his life.

A s o u r g i rl s g r e w, ventu red out i nt o the bi g w ide wo rld , t o ok on their careers, went overseas, married and commenced their family life, Fred’s pride in his family grew and when the grandchildren arrived, his life was perfect.

His love for his grandchildren was steadfast and unending.

He would and did anything and everything for them a nd they reciprocated wholeheartedly. He was blessed with his girls and grandkids - it was all he needed for a perfect life.

F red and I had just celebrated 53 years of married life. We often reflected on our journey in life, however, the result of contacting Rheumatic Fever all those years ago took its toll and on 30 April, 2022 Fred’s journey ended in the town where he was born, lived, worked, played and called home.

Stop, revive, survive “Stop Revive, Survive”.

You may be familiar with these signs, es peci a l l y i f yo u a re t ravel l i ng th roughout the upcoming festive season. While they are important for safe, longdistance driving, they are also great advice for our personal and business plans too.

The goals and plans that you established in July should by now be showing some results.

These may or may not be as good as you hoped, and if that’s the case – you still have six months to go.

As the world continues to be more turbulent than we would like, with recent floods, the ongoing war in

Ukraine and a dramatic increase in the cost of living, even our Reserve Bank governor has had to reflect on his early predictions and admit he got it wrong.

It has become more important ‘stop, revive to survive’.

The holiday season is the best time for many to step away from their business si x months.

Taking time to reflect means s l ow i ng dow n enough to stop, enjoy the adventure and decide what is really important to YOU. It’s time to step out of t h e d eta i l, rev i ew the big picture and ask yourself some important questions. What have

you enjoyed doing this year? What didn’t work the way you thought it would? What do you want to achieve next?

A s Co nf uci us o n ce sa id, “He who k nows all the answers has not asked all the questions”.

There a re plent y of wa y s to r ev i e w yo u r personal and business progress, but these four steps of reflection make sense to me: 1. Review your goals and see how you are tracking; 2. Acknowledge things that have gone well and things that haven’t, and ask yourself why; 3. Reflect on changes in the landscape that have occurred and the

impact they may have had on reaching your goals; 4. Check in on how you are feeling physically and mentally.

This last step is o f te n fo r g ot te n a n d underrated. There can be no more important assessment than of you r pe r so na l h ea lth and wellbeing. We can make all the business and financial plans in the world, but they will be futile if we aren’t healthy enough to enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Once you have taken the time to reflect, it will be clear which of your plans you continue with and which ones need to be adjusted. Don’t

Where you grow, we go.

We can help you thrive too. To find out more visit www.forsyths.com.au or call us on 02 6842 0000.

Seventeen again

LATE NIGHT SHOPPING COONABARABRAN NEWSAGENCY

EACH THURSDAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS

Coonabarabran Amateur Dramatic Society’s production of Seventeen opened on the weekend; an Australian teen comedy with a touch of wisdom.

by EMMA HARVEY It is the age-old contract between stage actor and theatre goer – for 90 something minutes the performers will endeavour to create a compelling fictional world, while the audience, for their part, will agree to accept that world as (temporarily) true. ‘Suspension of disbelief’ as they call it in the biz (or English class).

Some theatre requires very little ‘suspension of disbelief’ on the part of your average audience member.

The previous production

by Coonabarabran Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS), Steel Magnolias, for example, was set in a

small town and explored universal themes of grief and friendship – not too great a mental leap to make.

But with their latest endeavour, Seventeen

by Matthew Whittet, CADS have decided to challenge themselves, and the imaginations of their audience, to hilarious effect.

The plot itself is plausible enough – six teenagers on the cusp of adulthood, pulling an allnighter down at the local park with bottles of sugary alcohol and tightly-held teenage secrets.

An Australian play, the script is peppered with all your favourite Aussie slang and swear words,

and the set features the pride of Aussie parks: the stainless steel picnic table.

For all their efforts to evoke verisimilitude (another word from English class), there is one glaring, amusing, inaccuracy that is impossible to ignore: the actors themselves are not seventeen. Not even close.

This is not a classic case of Hollywood miscasting – a new Netflix show trying to pass off yet another mustachioed twenty-eight year old as a prepubescent high schooler.

In Seventeen, the mismatch is much more obvious, and deliberate.

Matthew Whittet’s original production enlisted veteran actors in their 70s to play the binge-

drinking teens.

In keeping with this, most of the CADS Seventeen cast are middleaged – some are teachers themselves, not students.

Together, the adult cast (Ben Jackson, Michael Armstrong, Cherie Gaites, Jenni Maundrell, Nicole Lewis and Kathryn Abbott) regress to their adolescent identities: insecure, immature, impulsive – eating Cheetos by the handful, throwing up behind the toilets.

There are a few short musical moments, showcasing the talents of both Armstrong and Abbott, plus a dance number, a love triangle, a kiss.

Despite the obvious

barriers, the cast really do begin to convince as young adults.

As dawn breaks over the park, the agedifference stops feeling like a gimmick, and affords a surprising layer of nostalgia, gravitas and perspective, that only adulthood can offer.

FINAL PERFORMANCE Tickets are available for the closing night of Seventeen, this Friday 9 November, and can be purchased at Prezzies or online.

The cast of Seventeen in character at their opening performance last Friday evening, channelling their inner teenager.

Get your Christmas sorted!

Todd family celebrate centenary at Hillview A district family has marked an important milestone – 100 years since the family first settled in Bugaldie.

by LIZ CUTTS Six generations of the Todd family were represented at a celebratory gathering held on Saturday, 23 October, to mark a centenary of liv ing on the proper ty ‘Hillview’.

B or n i n 1878 , Joh n Todd, known to the family as ‘Daddy Jack’, moved to the farm in 1922 with his wife, Violet.

Jack, who was one of 1 2 c h i ld r en , m a r r ie d Violet Elizabeth Hatton at Rylstone and lived at Mudgee and Gulgong for some time where they had their seven offspring - Norman, Violet, Elsie, George, Nancy, Alma and Walter. ‘ H i l lv iew ’ h ad be en previously run by the wellknown local identity Dr Frederick Failles, who had retired to Dee Why. Jack made the journey from Gulgong to Bugaldie by horse and wagon followed by his son Norman, then aged 14, in a horse-drawn dray.

The rest of the family followed sometime later by train to Coonabarabran.

Jack leased ‘Hillview’ for around 30 years until Frederick Failles’ wife, F ra nces, passed away in 1953, whereupon he purchased the property.

He worked as a farmer/ g razier, ra isi ng sheep and cattle and growing c r op s i n c lud i n g s ome cotton, which had to be handpicked.

The house, which was built before Jack Todd arrived, originally had just two rooms.

Not long after moving i n , Jack bu i lt a r o om off the verandah; it was originally intended for a lounge room, but during the week it was used as a schoolroom and on Sunday for church service.

In 1926, the Guinema S c ho ol h ad c e a s e d t o function and the building was moved by Ha r old Gr e en h a lgh a nd Jack Todd with a horse-drawn wagon to ‘Hillview’ where it became a provisional school.

Early teachers included Doris Holt and Ada and

Mary Watson.

To star t with, there were just seven pupils, four girls and three boys f rom the fami l ies of Todd, Greenhalgh, Paul, Irvin and teacher Mick Sheehan.

L ater there were Kennedy, Nash, Bunner, Hotchkiss and Brogan children.

Ha rold Green ha lgh , who was the secretary of the P&C, was given a Pa rker p en for h i s dedicated work in getting the school established.

‘Hillview’ school operated from 1926 to 1936.

In 1942 the building was moved to Yearinan, where it eventually became a private residence.

Over the years, Jack built more rooms onto the original homestead i nclud i ng a k it chen , verandahs and then s t a ble s f o r h i s m a ny draught horses, along with other farm outbuildings.

This house was replaced with the current house around 1956, but the or ig i na l house on ‘Hillview’ is still standing as a memory to the original settlement.

Jack’s sons, George and Walter, helped run the farm and when Australia became involved in World I I b ot h o f t hem , a nd daughter Alma, enlisted to serve in the army.

Walter served in the 2 / 2 5 t h D efenc e For c e Battalion and George was in the 2/18th Battalion that was sent to Singapore a nd captu red by the Japanese.

George spent more than three years interred in the prisoner-of-war camp at Changi until he was released in 1945.

A lma served out the war with the Women’s Auxiliary services as a hospital orderly in army hospitals in Sydney and in Queensland.

W hen Violet Todd passed away in October 1949, Jack went to live at ‘Loch Lomond’, near Baradine, with his son, George.

In later years he lived in Gulargambone and then Port Macquarie, where he

died in 1967 aged 89.

Walter Todd and his wife Heather remained at ‘Hillview’ until Walter passed away in 1998 aged 65 and their son, Bryan, took over the running of the farm.

Heather remained living at ‘Hillview’ until her late nineties; she passed away in Coonabarabran last year aged 101.

O ne hu nd r e d ye a r s is a substantial legacy for one family who have been the g uardians of the land and proved that sustainable farming and environmental practices ensures the property is in good stead to last another centu r y, endu r i ng the cycle of drought, f lood and whatever else mother nature throws at it.

The original house at ‘Hillview’ remains after more than 100 years.

Pupils at Hillview School in the early 1930s: Wal Todd, Bill Newman, Doris Newman, Marge Bunner, Eric Newman, Marion McGlashan, John Hotchkiss, Harold McGlashan, Doris Bunner, Athol Roberts, Alison Paul, Gwen Hotchkiss, Helen Paul and Alf Bunner.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Awaiting Council response A nother open lett er to the general manager, Wa r r u m bu n g le S h i r e Council, Mr. Roger Bailey.

A copy of this letter will be posted to the general manager today.

A nd t h a n k y ou M r B a i ley for h i s r ep or t dat ed , 21 November 2022, in response to my open letter published in November.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, h e failed to explain why it took 55 working days to respond t o my ea rl ier letter to WSC. Instead of the 10 working days. I, again pose this very same question.

I a l s o r e q ue s t t h at Mr Bailey confirms, as stated with his response, that outdoor furniture in Neilson Park was cleaned on 4 January 2022 and on 18 February 2022.

A copy to me of the relevant Time Sheet on the Log Book or whatever re c ord kept by Urba n Services of such of the a b ove s er v ic e s wou ld suffice.

I look forward to receiving a satisfactory response to my enquiries within the proverbial 10 working days!

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public Swim school Students have been enjoying the warmer weather this week and making great gains with their swimming skills.

Thank you to Mrs Quilter who has been teaching a group for swimming and thanks also to each of the teachers who have been accompanying students each day.

Toora Music Makers To say we have enjoyed having Frances and Kim deliver Toora Music Makers in our school is an understatement. We have been thrilled with the skills our very capable students have honed, in just three days. During the last session, Frances and Kim helped the students create a school song for Tooraweenah Public School. We can’t wait to share the school song with you all.

Sustainable Schools Grant Our school has been successful in our application for a sustainable schools grant for 2023. The Grant will enable our school to offer an extended kitchen garden program with enhancements to our

wicking beds, as well as utilise the back paddock area for chickens and crops such as watermelons. We can’t wait!!

STEPS to Success Last Friday, Andrew Lord National Coach from Schools Plus, worked with Mrs Smith on the 2023 plan for our STEPS to Success project, a Fair Funding Grant.

Assistant principal Mrs Sally Jordison and pr inc ipal M r M ic hae l Darcy, from Gilgandra Public School, also collaborated during this coaching session for a similar project in their school.

Coonabarabran Public 2023 will be the final year of the STEPS to Success three year project and we look forward to building on the strong partnerships between school and home for the benefit of all students at our school.

Shellharbour Grammar School Shellharbour Grammar School student volunteers completed various tasks in the playground, front garden and car park areas over two days last week.

We are very thankful for the time they have given to our school.

As our year draws to a close, there are parties and festivities a many across the community.

One of the highlights this week was the Early Bird graduation, where Mrs Meyers presented the students with a certificate and a backpack and farewelled them, congratulating them on their wonderful year. The 2023 Kindergarten sang and signed some of their favourite songs, charming audience members young and old.

The community preschool visited us for several days of transition.

We sang and danced and told stories with puppets and had so much fun we wanted the visitors to stay forever. Sadly, the final visits from our Early Bird students as they came to our rooms was a Christmas craft activity.

Their graduation assembly will see the last of this program.

Early birds will continue in term four, 2023 but with a different format to the past few years.

We thank Mrs Wilkin for her contribution to the program.

Also this week we had the announcement of the 2023 prefects and listened to their captaincy bid speeches.

Adelle Nguyen promised to be a wonderful role model and uphold her responsibility Olive Moppet valued trust and teamwork above all and pledged an aim for excellence and to make the school rocket.

Dan Meyers, the mullet man, promised to

represent his school with pride at all the activities.

Jackson Player promised to always be there for other students.

Tye Stewart thanked everyone for their votes for his prefect ship.

Lily Weatherall, promised to be a great role model and be approachable to all students.

Kuparr Gordon welcomed everyone with a First Nation welcome and promised respectfulness,

kindness and caring.

Bella Stanisforth said she had a generous heart and promised fun days in making the school a better place.

After we avidly listened to each prefect present their promises for their commitment to leadership for the coming year, we went back to our rooms and cast our votes to elect the new leaders, which will be announced at the awards night.

Get-together for green thumbs An event to meet other gardeners, share gardening knowledge and swap plants will be held this Sunday and everyone is welcome.

by CHRIS WARD The Community Garden working group will hold a get-together this Sunday, 11 December, at Neilson Park in Coonabarabran.

Brett England’s idea of creating a community

garden in Coonabarabran has sprouted and continues to grow as it gathers support.

M r England said he wanted to keep the ball rolling and build further interest, so he came up with the idea of holding

a get-together and information day.

“Everyone is invited,” he said. “ I t ’s a b o u t g e t t i n g together and talking about ideas and plans for the garden.”

The morning will kick

off at 9am and Mr England has urged anyone with a green thumb or anyone who would like to develop a green thumb to turn up.

He said there would be seedlings and plants on hand to swap, trade or give away and, of course,

The Community Garden working group volunteering their time at the recent Bungle Rumble event. The group was responsible for organising the car parking and received a donation for their efforts.

14 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 8th December 2022

a wealth of knowledge and advice to be shared by people on getting your garden growing.

“We really want to make it an enjoyable morning for everyone,” Mr England said.

“There will be a coffee van and possibly even live music.

“It’s all about bringing the community together.”

The group behind the Community Garden has been hard at work in recent weeks raising funds.

T h e y h av e a l r e ad y notched up over $3000 by holding a meat tasting night and volunteering at the recent Bungle Rumble event where they were in charge of organising parking.

Nex t on the agenda for fund-raising will be a raffle, which will kick off on Sunday at the gettogether.

Mr England has put t ogether a ga rdener ’s star t-up package w ith a wheel barrow full of items donated f rom R oach’s Home T i mber and Hardware and other businesses around town.

Tickets to the raffle can be purchased on Sunday right up until Christmas.

As far as the community garden itself, Mr England said he will continue to work with Warrumbungle Shire Council.

“As far as I know, at the moment we are waiting on Council to rubber stamp the rezoning of different blocks around town,” he

said.

“And once that is done we c a n move for wa rd w it h s ome pl a n s a nd development.”

Initially, Mr England identified the spare block beside the St Vincent De Paul shop but, without much luck, he has now turned his attention to the parcel of land at the end of Robinson Street.

He said it is a great

area for the garden with everything needed close by, including water access. “ This spot was earmarked 10 years ago for a community garden, but the plans fell through,” he said. “ T h is ti me we have a strong following and lots of support from the community, so hopefully we can move forward with it.”

Burra Bee Dee working bee On Saturday, 3 December, a community working bee was held at Burra Bee Dee to help keep the area maintained following recent adverse weather conditions.

by JIMMY WHALAN T he working bee was organised by C o on aba r abr a n L o c a l Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) and was attended by approximately 20 adults and their families.

A mammoth effort saw the removal of fallen trees u s i n g c h a i n s aws , t he mowing of the overgrown picnic area, as well as maintenance of the entrance and roads.

A group of local Elders attended, who also helped

w ith ma i nt a i n i ng the cemeter y by remov ing weeds and bur rs from around the graves.

Coonabarabran LALC CEO, Monique Galvin said they hope to hold more regular working bees in the future for family and community to get together again and help maintain Burra Bee Dee. “We want to say a huge thank you to those who did chip in and help get our Burra Bee Dee back to normal.”

Baradine pool vandalised Community safety and enjoyment has been compromised by senseless vandalism which caused a temporary closure of the public swimming pool at Baradine.

by LIZ CUTTS Warrumbungle Shire Council staff were shocked to find recently that the Baradine Swimming Pool had been vandalised.

The damage to showers and the pool occur red more than a week ago and forced the closure of the pool for a short time.

St a f f at t end i ng t he pool t o under ta ke the mandatory water tests that enable C ou nci l t o keep pools sa fely operating were faced with water flowing out of the women’s shower block.

A tap fitting had been completely removed from one of the showers, causing the area to flood.

A concrete Besser block, along with other rock-like material, had also been thrown into the pool. “ This senseless vandalism not only

created a safety hazard, it c ome s at a c o s t t o t he c om mu n it y,” s a id Wa r r u m bu n g l e S h i r e m ayor, C r A mbr o s e Doolan.

“There is not only the financial cost in repairing the damage, it takes staff away from planned works that have to be pushed aside to deal with these types of issues.

“I encourage members of the community to report any sort of vandalism.

“It is very disappointing when this sort of thing happens; our staff make every effort to keep all the Sh i re p o ols up t o scratch.”

Community members are encouraged to report vandalism by phoning the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 or via the NSW Police Force Community Portal Intentional Da m age R ep or t (n sw. gov.au).

Baradine Swimming Pool was briefly closed recently, due to an act of vandalism.

Clearing the air in Little Timor Plaza The controversial issue of event charges for use of Little Timor Plaza in Coonabarabran will be up for discussion again at the next meeting of Warrumbungle Shire Council, to be held tonight, Thursday, 8 December.

by CHRIS WARD The anticipated discussion comes after a tense exchange between councillor Kodi Brady and the Shire’s general manager Roger Bailey during last month’s meeting regarding the use of the Plaza.

Shire mayor, Cr Ambrose Doolan tabled a report that he said sheds light on the situation and will be discussed during the meeting.

“First of all, I think we can all agree that we have ended up with a wonderful community space that we should all be proud of,” he said.

“I was pleased to learn that the project won bronze in the recent 2022 NSW/ ACT Landscape Excellence Awards.

“All credit to the committee, staff and contractor for this achievement.

“An enormous amount of work was completed by passionate volunteer members of the Coonabarabran Town Beautification Advisory Committee in the preparation of the 2020 Streets as Shared Spaces grant application.

“This dedication to the Plaza has not gone unnoticed, with committee members tending to the plants and planter boxes, removing rubbish from the site and sometimes cleaning the area.”

Cr Doolan said there was some confusion and miscommunication when it came to the site’s use, particularly given space constraints and its

proximity to the highway.

He also explained the area was temporarily closed in August 2021 and any usage must consider the Roads Act 1993.

“The Streets as Shared Spaces Program, under which this project was funded was to be a medium term pilot project.

“If Council was of a mind to make the Plaza permanent, then there is a process that we would need to follow, which would involve closing the road, classifying the land as community land, nominating the land to be a park and developing a plan of management.

“This is a complex, time-consuming process which should perhaps be considered at some stage; however, given our other priorities such as restoring our road network, I am not sure that we should be diverting staff resources at this time.”

Cr Doolan clarified that there are several uses for the Plaza that don’t require approval or cost.

“People can and have been enjoying their lunches, reading books, playing with their children, or just soaking up the sunshine. These are all free activities that do not require approval from Council.

“Impromptu musical and artistical performances are also welcome, and free activities.”

Organised events The mayor explained that once events cross the threshold of being “organised” an approval would be required.

“When we consider an

15 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 8th December 2022

organised community event, there may be approvals that are required and there is a range of information on Council’s website including checklists, insurance details, event management tools and templates,” Cr Doolan said.

“If someone wanted to hold an organised event that was open to the general public, whether ticketed (free or not), an approval would be required.

“This approach is consistent with the hiring of halls, meeting rooms, sporting ovals and swimming pools.”

Cr Doolan said a suggested approach would be to follow the Council’s Venue, Oval and Parks Booking terms and conditions of use and adapt it for the use of the Plaza.

This would require the hirer to: • Complete and lodge a booking form at least three working days prior to an event. While three days’ notice would be the minimum, it would be highly advised to provide as much notice as possible to avoid disappointment; • Pay all associated fees and charges associated with the booking or lodge an application to waive the fees and charges; •Provide proof of their own public liability insurance, to the value of $20 million; •Nominate a site controller; •Maintain a clear path of travel for pedestrians through the Plaza at all times during the hire; •Not let the capacity

exceed 120 spectators; •Make their own arrangements for access to water and electricity; •Note that the nearest public toilets are only open from dawn until dusk; •Note that Little Timor Street is an Alcohol-Free Zone.

Because Little Timor Street is still considered to be a road, approval under the Roads Act 1993 is required if someone wanted to hold an organised event.

Cr Doolan said this is a State Government requirement not a Council requirement.

To streamline the approval process, and save each and every application being considered by the Traffic Advisory Committee, a report could be put to the committee seeking approval for Council officers to assess and approve non-complex applications for organised events in the Plaza.

Council sets fees and charges annually and currently there is no fee for approvals under the Roads Act 1993.

Should a fee be set in the future, charitable and nonfor-profit organisations can apply to the general manager to have their fees waived.

Applications must be made in writing with evidence of not-for-profit status and clearly state why any fees should be waived or discounted.

It should be noted that in the 2022/23 financial year to date, no fees have been charged or waived.

Vandals ripped the tap fitting out of one of the showers at the Baradine Swimming Pool.

Greens Member tours Pilliga On Saturday, 3 December, Member for the Greens Sue Higginson visited Coonabarabran, Burra Bee Deeand the Pilliga to discuss Santos’ coalseam gas exploitation and the impact this would have on the environment and Gomeroi Country.

by JIMMY WHALAN Led on a tour of the Pilliga by local Gamilaroi woman, Suellyn Tighe, Ms Higginson said she had found it very inspiring to sit down with members of the Gomeroi community in town and at Burra Bee Dee. “I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to be so warmly welcomed,” Ms Higginson said. “ L a nd C ou nc i l , t he Elders group and all of the mob that I met with are doing fantastic work together and there is such a feeling of connection, trust and positivity.”

After her visit to Burra Bee Dee, Ms Higginson

agreed that there needs to be a stronger c omm itment f r om the State Government to meet some of the funding needs of the community.

“I was shown how the cemetery needs stabilising, with the help of engineers and hydrologists, to keep th is c ommu n it y place preserved well into the future,” Ms Higg inson said. “ I w i l l be w r iti ng to the M inister for Aboriginal Affairs and the Environment to ensure t h at t he c om mu n it y receives f und i ng for the toilet blocks and to stabilise the cemetery as soon as possible.”

M s H i g g i n s o n s a id

the opportunity to visit Coonabarabran and the Pilliga came about as she joined the NSW Parliament in May this year. She is now responsible for c oa l , ga s a nd m i n i ng and Aboriginal Cultural Heritage and Justice.

“Before joining Parliament, I was a public interest environmental lawyer and I have had a long involvement with the campaigns to protect the Pilliga, Liverpool Plains and the Hunter Valley from fossil fuel exploitation,” Ms Higginson said.

“I am now continuing to work w ith these communities from inside Parliament.”

“I was very fortunate to

travel through the Pilliga w it h G omer oi wom a n Suellyn Tighe, who was s o gener ou s w it h her knowledge and sharing her connection with the place.”

Describing the Pilliga as the “lungs of NSW ”, M s H igg i n s on s a id it was clear to her that the Gomeroi connection to the area was strong and everything possible must be done to keep fossil fuel

exploitation out of the Pilliga. “ T he F i r s t Nat ion s c o m m u n i t y i n Coonabarabran are clear i n thei r opposition t o Santos’ gas development,” Ms Higginson said. “ Sa nt os ca n not be allowed to extinguish their Native Title - and that is exactly what is at stake.”

“Santos wants to sever the Gomeroi connection t o t he P i l l i g a for it s

short-sighted profit while destroying water, land, and communities in the process.”

Ms Higginson commented on the action that needs to be taken t o st op Sa nt os f rom drilling the proposed 850 coal-seam gas wells in the Pilliga, stating that the NS W a nd Federa l governments need to listen to the science, economics and the community.

“ We c a n help t hem listen by continuing to speak and step up and making it clear for them that this project needs to stop.” “ T he community out here have been clear for some 15 years that gas projects have no role in the future.

“The Pilliga gas project in particular is a climate disaster waiting to happen.”

Sue Higginson Member for the Greens (centre) and her videographer met with local residents Suellyn Tighe, Margaret Robinson and Kim Ellis in Coonabarabran last Saturday, to discuss issues of concerns relating to Burra Bee Dee and the coal seam gas proposal for the Pilliga Forest.

K nowing this information, Lou knew that it would be challeng ing and hence prepared by practising daily. For her efforts Lou finished third in Division 3 for 2021.

Lou found the experience exhilarating play i ng w ith lad ies from other areas of the s t at e a nd h av i n g t he opp or t u n it y t o pl ay on such a good course.

Congratulations Lou. Last Wednesday and S at u r d ay t he R o ac h’s Hardware Monthly Medal was played. Lou Coulton had a great score of net 73 on Wednesday, giving the Saturday players a difficult score to beat.

With the course drying out and a bit more run happening, Jan Keppie was able to return a score of net 71. This meant that Jan was the winner of the Roach’s Hardware Trophy a nd L ou C ou lt on wa s runner-up. Balls went to Zoe Holcombe and Lou Dowsett.

This Saturday is the Doc Antaw Memorial Day, which is a medley event.

Golfers play a stableford and then a draw is done at the conclusion of play for partners. Sounds like a fun event.

Family friendly speedway fun If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly activity this weekend, look no further than the Gunnedah Speedway.

by CHRIS WARD Expect all the usual high impact, adrenaline pumping racing action with one massive difference - the intensity will reach its absolute limits with the special one-time inclusion of the two-wheeled variety.

Some of the country’s best Freestyle Motocross

T he da redev i ls w i l l perform all their exciting and intricate twists and flips and acrobatic feats 15 metres in the air while on board a 100-kilogram machine. “ It ’s t he u lt i m at e sp e c t ac le on whe el s ,”

Aussie FMX will feature at the Gunnedah Speedway this Saturday, 10 December.

G u n n e d a h S p e e d w ay owner Barry Towers said. “ It ’s ac t ua l ly death def y ing some of the stunts these guys do. It is incredible.

“They will be a part of the show for the first time in 20 years and we’re super excited to bring them to Gunnedah.”

For C o on a ba r a br a n residents it’s just a onehour drive to the complex.

W hen you ta ke int o account the cost of a family pass and fuel, it’s $100 for hours of entertainment the whole family will enjoy.

“Where else can you get that? It can cost that and more to take the kids to the movies these days,” Mr Towers said.

“And here you get to see some of the most exciting live action there is to see.

“The things these guys do on their bikes almost defies belief.”

A spokesperson from the Aussie FMX team said it was an event not to be missed.

“The Aussie FMX Team are professional athletes

Council pushes Westpac to reconsider branch closure MOREE

Moree Plains Shire Council has met with officials from Westpac to urge the banking institution to reconsider the closure of its Moree branch.

In October this year, Westpac

announced the closure of the Frome Street branch from February 23, 2023.

The decision to close the branch was met with backlash, with council as well as Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall and federal Member for

Parkes Mark Coulton rebuking the banking giant for abandoning the Moree Plains community.

Mayor Mark Johnson and shire general manager Nick Tobin met with state and district managers as well as the head of government relations last week.

Cr Johnson said the closure, with zero community consultation, would leave a big impact on customers and small businesses who are now left without access to the fundamental aspects of banking.

“Although our preferred

outcome was to retain our local Westpac branch with full services that will help us grow and support our local community, now and into the future, the reversal on this decision by Westpac doesn’t seem imminent,” he said.

Native grains dream gains momentum NARRABRI

By ALI SMITH

Gamilaroi man Les Knox said he received ‘positive feedback’ about a training, yarning, and networking day held at the IA Watson Grains Research Centre.

“Everyone was pretty happy and by the end of the day everyone had a smile on their face,” said Mr Knox.

“All we’ve got to do now is start to get it all moving along.”

More than 30 people attended the networking and knowledge sharing day, which was all about connecting Indigenous people, industry, and growers with the latest research to support an economically, culturally, socially, and environmentally sustainable native grains industry.

Sunshine aplenty at Rosewood clearing sale NARRABRI

By DYLAN SMITH

editor@nwcourier.com.au

Sunny conditions and strong buyer support made for a successful clearing sale at Rosewood, Stoney Creek Road.

The grazing property, owned by Stuart Park, had been previously sold by Nutrien Harcourts Narrabri, with the clearing sale also run by the local Nutrien team.

Paul Thomas, Nutrien Harcourts Narrabri, praised Mr Park on the presentation of his equipment.

“It was very well laid out,” Mr Thomas said. “Even though he had some of the equipment for a while, it was very well looked after and well presented.”

An estimated crowd of 150 people attended the sale. The Rotary Club of Narrabri was also in attendance with its barbecue.

Mr Thomas said most of the attendees had come with the expectation of buying.

Crowd numbers, however, were impacted by the start of harvest.

“The result was really good. There was good competition,” Mr Thomas said.

Buyer interest spanned a large area, from Wagga Wagga in the south to Southern Queensland.

Among some of the top buys were a John

New machinery is harder to get which has increased demand for second-hand machinery.

Deere front end loader, a Case tractor, a Duncan combine, a Fiat dozer and a Dean tipping trailer.

Mr Thomas said the Rosewood clearing sale was unique in a way, as the district doesn’t commonly see sales at grazing properties.

“It had a lot of equipment for livestock handling as well as livestock feeding,” he said.

Demand for second-hand equipment also continues, with extensive waits still in place for new machinery.

“New machinery is harder to get which has increased demand for second-hand machinery,” Mr Thomas said.

Former owner of Rosewood, Mr Park is retiring from his 1300-acre property to live in Narrabri. He first bought the property in 1971 while living at nearby Gowrie, until moving to Rosewood in 1971.

Westpac urged to reconsider closure of Moree branch Continued from front page

The Moree Westpac branch is among a list of locations facing the axe in the new year.

Agribusiness services will remain operational. The parent company, the Westpac Group, announced branch closures across its banks including Westpac, St George, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA. Cr Johnson said to meet the needs of future growth, the Moree Plains Shire needs the support of leading banks.

“After the COVID-19 pandemic and droughts, we have exciting opportunities to ensure the growth of the Moree Plains, five years of construction in the pipeline, and $1.5 billion dollars’ worth of infrastructure projects and investment across the shire,” he said.

“Having these financial services removed will greatly impact our community, create implications for businesses needing to retain larger amounts of cash and leaves customers facing an hour’s drive to the nearest Westpac office.

“With the focus on migrating customers to digital banking and automation, older customers and vulnerable members of our community who use bank branch services will be significantly affected by this shutdown.

“I believe that Westpac hasn’t done their due diligence and is showing no consideration for rural Australians who are progressively being disadvantaged by not being able to manage their own finances in a bank branch.”

Mr Marshall, whose state electorate covers the Moree Plains, condemned the decision

and has also urged the company to retain its local branch.

“My position has always been clear when it comes to the big four banks maintaining a presence in regional communities; if you have paying local customers, you should offer local services,” Mr Marshall said.

“Country people traditionally have been loyal in how they shop, bank and insure but loyalty is a two-way street and these Westpac shysters haven’t shown much loyalty to its customers in the bush and I believe we no longer owe any to them.

“As one of the largest banks in Australia, Westpac has a responsibility to ensure equitable access to face-to-face banking services for everyone regardless of changes in banking behaviour.

“Too often now rural and regional NSW is falling victim to the prioritisation of shareholder profits, over local customer service and support.”

Mr Coulton addressed the matter in the House of Representatives recently, telling fellow federal parliamentarians Moree deserved to have a branch.

“Moree is one of the most highly productive agricultural shires in Australia, and some of the customers at Westpac have had, through their business, continuous family connections there since the day the branch opened in the 1870s,” Mr Coulton said.

“The Moree people are outraged, not only our elderly and our pensioners but also our businesses who rely on that branch to manage their cash flow and who are now being left out in the cold.”

Les Knox’s native grains dream grows wings Continued from front page

Mr Knox owns and operates Garaah Gundal, which means bush bread in Gamilaraay.

This summer, he hopes to lead a harvest collaboration with local farmers as part of a project to modernise Indigenous native grain processing and produce flour from the region’s traditional grain varieties.

Provided there is a break in the wet weather conditions, Mr Knox and other native grain growers around North West NSW are expecting a bumper harvest in January.

“There’s not going to be a better season for locals to sample and enjoy the delicate flavours of the normal bush foods that have served locals prior to European settlement, and everyone is invited to join the fun,” Mr Knox said.

“Each of the native grain species adds a unique taste to bread, biscuits, pizza and crackers.”

Mr Knox said it was great to meet with farmers who have Mitchell grass and native millet on their land and were willing to work with him, and he is keen to meet with more ahead of harvest time.

“I want to work with the local community and property owners who have Mitchell grass so we can all benefit,” he said.

Mr Knox said he is passionate about achieving his business dream because native grains offer such huge health benefits.

He also thinks it would have a positive impact on the Narrabri community.

“If you look at photos from the old days, they were all trim, taut and terrific – they didn’t have an ounce of fat on them because they were eating bush tucker.

“This would be for the town too, getting businesses involved, workers - putting Narrabri on the map.”

Mr Knox thanked Dr Angela Pattison for her support and guidance.

Dr Pattison has led research projects assessing the best ways to support the native grain industry, through the Sydney University’s Planting Breeding Institute’s Indigenous Grasslands for Grain project.

“Angela is absolutely fantastic; without her I wouldn’t be able to do it.

“And she’s a great presenter.”

Mr Knox said a highlight of the event was a presentation by proud Wiradjuri man, Aboriginal elder and entrepreneur Herb Smith.

Mr Smith is the man behind a small native bush food company that took off when airline giant Qantas wanted a taste of its sensational flavours.

And like Mr Knox, Mr Smith is also a big believer in the power of good food and good stories to bring people together.

His company Dreamtime Tuka is based in Wellington and supplies Qanats and other corporates with native Australian flavoured snacks.

“I think having Herb Smith get up and talk about his venture was very inspiring,” said Mr Knox.

“He’s a country boy, he started from nothing and now he’s grown it into this great business that supplies Qantas.”

Dr Angela Pattison said the goal of the native grains project was ‘to bring together ancient knowledge with modern knowledge in a respectful way so we can revitalise the practice of eating and growing native grain foods that are local to this area’.

“By doing the research we’re helping to support from the paddock all the way through to the plate the bits that are missing in the puzzle,” Dr Pattison said.

“What we need to do is find out what things need to happen to allow this to be happening economically, environmentally, and socially and culturally.”

The event was the culmination of years of local groundwork including trial harvests, cultural heritage research, business development and on-farm extension.

“Northwest NSW (Gomeroi and Yuwaalaraay Country) has an international reputation for producing high-quality grains, and it is expected that the locally grown native grains such as guli and ganalay will also quickly gain a reputation for their quality,” Dr Pattison said.

“Indigenous people have sustainably managed native grain fields around here for thousands of years and their oversight is vital as this industry emerges,” she said.

Dr Pattison said the harvest collaboration will form a basis for

John Watson and University of Sydney seed technician Di Hall demonstrating separating Tall Oats Grass seeds from the husks.

partnerships with landholders, industry, processors and retailers to ensure the benefits are shared.

“Native millet (guli in Gamilaraay) is worth hundreds of dollars a kilogram,” she said.

“However, this grain is more than a commodity – it has the potential to sequester carbon, preserve biodiversity and yield an edible grain from the same hectare of land.”

George Truman of North West Local Land Services explained how the revitalised native grain industry is gaining momentum in the region.

“The project is looking to promote or look at the opportunities for using native grains, particularly native millet for food production.

“Working with researchers, businesspeople, landholders, the Indigenous community – looking at different opportunities about how we can utilise these grains into commercial operations.”

EVERY WOMAN, EVERY DAY Discover the Louenhide difference.

The project is supported by North West Local Land Services through funding from the Australian government, AgriFutures Australia, Regional Development Australia and The University of Sydney.

AgriFutures Australia’s Emerging Industries Program is supporting the development of the native foods industry through research to build production, attract investment and drive market demand for native food products.

Warning about snakes on the plains RURAL NEWS Farmers are reporting increased snake sightings as floodwaters force the reptiles onto higher ground.

Sarah Thompson from the NSW Farmers Rural Affairs Committee said many members were reporting an increased number of snake sightings as a result of the flooding, which had also reduced access to veterinary treatment.

“Just yesterday one of our members said she saw three black snakes near her place in a really short space of time, and it’s been like this for a while, they’re just trying to escape the water like we all are,” Mrs Thompson said.

“It’s a worry because people with dogs or who are going out to move stranded livestock are at a higher risk of being bitten.

“This is happening everywhere, we’ve heard recently about livestock being lost to snakes because some farms are more like islands than paddocks, and they can’t get to a vet.”

The spike in snake numbers coincides with increased activity during summer months.

According to the Australian Reptile Park, Australia sees approximately 3000 snake bites each year, about 10 per cent of which requires antivenom.

First aid for snake bites includes keeping the bite victim calm and immobile, removing all jewellery or watches, applying a pressure-immobilisation bandage to the bite site, then bandaging the entire limb (not just the bite area) and seeking emergency medical assistance immediately by calling an ambulance or going directly to hospital.

While the advice to keep lawns short and avoid piling up household items was an excellent snake deterrent in urban areas, Mrs Thompson said, for flood-affected rural communities vigilance was key.

“Everyone’s trying to stay dry and the snakes are no exception,” Mrs Thompson said.

“We know snakes aren’t generally trying to hurt us or our animals, but coming closer together because of flooding increases the risk of an attack for humans and animals.

“People just need to use some common sense, keep an eye out and be extra careful!”
