COONABARABRAN – THE ASTRONOMY CAPITAL OF AUSTRALIA

SPECIAL EDITION: INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

Thompson makes her mark on the rodeo circuit One young Coonabarabran woman has had a meteoric rise through the rodeo ranks.

by CHRIS WARD Emma Thompson first graced the scene back in 2017 and wasted no time in making her mark on the competition.

Just one year later, in 2018, she won the ABCRA Southe r n Zone Ba r rel Raci ng Rook ie title, the Australian Bar rel Racing Rookie Title and came third in the Australian standings.

That same yea r, af te r winning a major rodeo in Stroud, Emma qualified for the World Championship semi-finals held in Oklahoma in the United St a t e s a n d s p e n t t i m e overseas.

In 2021 Emma and her horse, Eddie, expanded t h e i r ex p e r t i s e to s te e r undecorating, becoming successful in both disciplines.

R e c e n t l y, t h e d u o at tended thei r fou r th n at i o n a l f i n a l s fo r b ot h events.

They went into the finals s it t i n g i n th e to p 10 fo r barrel racing and number two for steer undecorating.

After the three-day event Emma and Eddie had won the Australian Rookie Steer undeco rating titles and came runner-up Australian

Champion.

Emma and Eddie are well on their way to dominating the com petition once again for 2023.

While horsemanship is in her blood, Emma said it was a stroke of luck that led her to try out barrel racing on the rodeo circuit.

“Mum and dad were into showing and showjumping and that sort of thing,” she said.

“Honestly, it al l came about because I ended up with a bastard of a horse! “ H e wo u l d n’t ta ke to anything else so I thought I’d try him at barrel racing.”

And the deci s i on ha s obvious ly pa id of f, w ith the humble rider crediting Eddie w ith much of her succes s and ex p res s i ng how the two have created an unbreakable bond.

While she admitted that, at times, the lifestyle could be lonely, Emma said she wouldn’t have things any other way.

And even though financially the ci rcuit i sn’t enough to l ive of f, s h e d o es n’t se e h e r se l f stopping anytime soon.

Just a what’s app away...

The Goolhi community has adopted a less traditional method of communication that, as a result, has brought residents closer together.

by CHRIS WARD Greg Morris has driven the idea for a number of m o nt h s a n d i t s a w h i m create a WhatsApp group where residents can log on and communicate.

H e sa i d w it h a fa u lt y p h o n e s e r v i c e l o c a l l y, i t wa s m u c h e a s i e r fo r residents to make a post on the app than a phone c a l l , a n d p r ov i d e d a n easy, instantaneous way

of keeping in contact.

Mr Morris said it also helped farmers and proper t y owners coordinate more efficiently when they required services in the area.

“If someone jumps on there and says they need a vet to come out for some reason, two or three others might see that they need a vet to o, s o t h ey ca n organise someone to come out and do a full day’s work

rather than them come out for three different trips to three different properties in the area,” he explained.

“It just makes for a more streamlined, efficient process.”

The WhatsApp idea ca m e a b o u t w h e n t h e area was experiencing a feral pig problem.

Mr Morris said he organised flyers and letters to hand out to farmers in an attempt to organise a

coordinated aerial shoot.

“A n d t h a t ’ s w h e n I thought - ‘there has to be a better way’,” he said.

“We did two mail runs with flyers and I was m a k i n g h e a p s of ca l l s .

Trying to organise it was just exhausting really.

“I was already involved in a number of national farming groups that use the app so I thought I’d give it a try here.”

And Mr Morris said the

result said the initiative has b rought the communit y closer.

“The Goolhi area used to be a real th r iving community,” he said.

“Somewhere along the wa y i t l o s t t h at fe e l i n g and everyone just kept to themselves.

“The people out here are great. They are all willing to help out, but there was just no mechanism and this has acted like the glue.

“ So it rea l l y feel s to me like it is bringing our community back together and made me realise how many good people there still are out here.”

Mr Morris said the group has upwards of 70 active members, but he hoped that number would continue to increase.

He also urged residents in the area to keep an eye out on the app for dates for the next camp oven night.

About The Running Club by Ali Lowe: Ever yone pays a premium to live in this town. But someone’s paid with their life.

The rules of the

r u n n i n g c lub a r e t he same as they have always been: keep your breath steady, keep your mind sharp, record your laps!

Only now there’s a new one: don’t get killed.

T h e w e a l t h y community of Esperance is picture-per fect. Big houses, stunning views, beautiful people. A brand new running track for the local club to jog around in the evenings. F rom the outside, it looks like paradise.

But the women of the town know the truth: you can hide anything – from wrinkles to secrets from your past – if you have enough money.

You could even hide a murder.

The Running Club is the gripping, twisty pageturner from the author of The Trivia Night, full of secrets, lies and reveals you won’t see coming.

Aurora: a new way of schooling Coonabarabran High School Year 7 student, Caira Armstrong has been selected to study a number of her classes with Aurora College.

by JIMMY WHALAN Aurora College is a virtual selective school that has been operating since 2015 to service students in rural and remote areas.

The program allows students to connect with teachers and classmates during time-tabled lessons using computer conference software – much like the Zoom calls that became all too familiar during COVID. As described on their website, Aurora College makes students a ‘dual citizen’ of two schools, studying a few of their classes online and the others at their home school.

The purpose of this program is to allow academically gifted students to reach their full potential by providing more advanced classes and allowing them to work at a pace that best suits them.

Through this program, rather than going to the normal English, maths, or science classes for Year 7, Caira would log on to her computer to learn about the subjects at a more advanced level with her online teacher and classmates.

Though Caira admitted it was quite different to normal classes, she said there was still a good connection with the teacher and her classmates and, as a whole, the Aurora classes were enjoyable.

“I enjoy being able to work independently and at my own pace,” Caira said.

W h e n a s ki n g C a i r a about the program she said that, in general, classes were much more difficult than her normal classes at Coonabarabran High School, but that there was a lot of support and services available through Aurora to help keep students on track.

Comparing her Aurora classes to her others, Caira found there were more pros than cons.

“They are similar [to my normal classes] as you still make friends, do homework, and talk to people in your classes, however, you get to work at your own level and talk to everyone whenever you want.”

When asked if she would continue to study with Aurora in the future, Caira’s response showed no uncertainty.

“I have enjoyed Aurora so far and am sure I will continue to.”

CHS Year 7 student, Caira Armstrong is studying a number of her classes with Aurora College.

Coona High to celebrate 50 golden years This April, Coonabarabran High School will be celebrating its 50th year with a weekend of celebrations for everyone to enjoy!

by JIMMY WHALAN The new Coonabarabran High School (CHS) building was officially opened by then Prince Charles on 26 September 1974 , a lthough it had already been in operation since 1973.

Before the new building opened to students, the s cho ol had prev iously operated out of the Coonaba rabran P ublic S chool site, with CHS principal Mary Doolan saying that both Di Wood and Leanne Redfern had carried their desks from the old site up to the new building.

The plans for the 2023 anniversary event will begin with the Celebrate CHS Showcase starting at 7pm on Friday, 28 April at the school hall. Entry will be via gold coin donation.

The event will be a gold coin donation entry, with proceeds going towards the 2023 Year 12 graduation formal.

Celebrations w ill continue Saturday, 29 April from 10am-2pm with a school fete, accompanied by live music.

F r om 6 . 3 0 pm t her e will be a trivia night and celebration dinner at the school hall, with some CHS alumni reconnecting to attend the special event.

Tickets will be available soon at the school office and Prezzies.

Ms Doolan said she is excited to celebrate such an important milestone for the school.

“We have a wonderful school and community and we are looking forward to celebrating this milestone in CHS history!”

Linda Davis, Di Wood, Venessa Houley and Yvonne Rice are excited to celebrate 50 years of Coonabarabran High School in April.

Invest in training and development An investment in knowledge pays the best interest - Benjamin Franklin.

We are well and truly rolling ahead in 2023 now, another year where we might’ve thought we wouldn’t be quite as busy as last year, which hasn’t proved to be the case yet. For the past few months the level of frustration has been growing as we continue to face challenges in managing our time and growing costs of doing business. For the Forsyths team we have been out of the office a fair bit, participating in various industry conferences and training sessions.

With team members tied up, I’ve had to take on additional work, and let’s not even talk about the cost of the training sessions.

But, as always happens when I stop to write these articles, with a clearer head I’ve reminded myself that, as a business, we are committed to professional d e v e l o p m e n t .

Opportunities that allow us to talk and network with other accounting firms, learn best practices, and gain knowledge in specialised areas including superannuation, corporate structures, leadership development, and team management skills are invaluable for

the team.

Reframe perspective So, the topic of today’s article is how important it is to reframe our perspective and recognise training and development as an investment in our future success.

Training your team members offers numerous benefits that can help your business thrive.

With the challenges of recruitment in regional NSW, it is vital to retain your top talent. Investing in their development shows your team they are valuable and builds loyalty.

Training team members on industry-best practices or changes in legislation provides positive impacts to both customers and team members. In our industry, as financial rules and regulations change frequently, it’s critical for our accountants to keep pace with these changes to p rov i d e a ccura te advice and services to clients.

Investment Investing in the ongoing professional development of your team members can function as a key strategy for risk minimisation in your business, as it ensures that the business owner is not

the only one with all the knowledge. Your team will be equipped with the latest knowledge and skills needed to perform their job effectively and efficiently. It’s truly a winwin situation for everyone involved.

One of the most m i s u n d e r s t o o d d e v e l o p m e n t opportunities is the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with other industry leaders.

We often walk away

with not only a better understanding of future opportunities for our firm, but also ideas for improving our service offering to clients. It can be daunting to compare yourself with others, but we always find we offer as much as we take in these sessions.

We remain committed to regarding training and development as a worthwhile investment in both our team and our clients. By doing so,

we can ensure that we stay ahead of the curve and provide the best possible service to our clients, while fostering a culture of growth and development among our team members.

And as Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, once said, “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave, is not training them and having them stay.”

Responsible dog ownership With an increased number of dogs wandering off leash leading to dog attack incidents across the district, Council is seeking help from the community to ensure dogs are appropriately secured. “ C ou nci l wou ld l i ke t o r em i nd c om mu n it y members of the i mp or t a nc e of h av i ng dogs leashed wh i le i n public areas at all times,” s a i d Wa r r u m b u n g l e Shire Council mayor, Cr Ambrose Doolan. “ Wandering dogs are not only a danger to the public but also a danger to themselves; they may become lost, stolen, killed or injured by vehicles on publ ic r oad s or c ause damage to other people or another animal.”

“As a consequence of dogs unleashed in the community the number of dog attack incidents have increased.

D og attacks a re a traumatic experience and dog owners need to take responsibility for their dogs to protect the public against consequences of attacks.” “ Unfortunately, dogs may also attack people, other pets or native animals.

It can be difficult to

i mag i ne , but the way a dog behaves a rou nd their owner or family and friends can be completely different to how it behaves when the owner is not present with the dog,” said Cr Doolan.

Remember, an attack is not just limited to a dog biting someone, it can include a dog rushing at, biting, harassing, or chasing any person or another animal.

W hether or not a ny injury is caused to the person or animal it should still be reported, there could still be grounds to place a declaration on the attacking dog and the owner may receive a fine.

“If you are a dog owner, please keep them safe and secure at home.

“Sometimes accidents happen and dogs escape, but we ca n a l l do ou r part to prevent this from happening and reduce the number of dogs roaming the streets,” concluded Cr Doolan.

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.

Weekly sheep and cattle market wrap • Increased national yardings are placing pricing pressures on the market.

• Eastern States Trade Lambs are going at a premium compared to Eastern States Young Cattle for the first time since 2021.

• Slaughter continues to remain firm as supply increases.

Yardings creating a softer cattle market Cattle market prices were softer this week after a recovery in yardings from last week.

Numbers in Queensland lifted by 3,598 head, with this increase largely being attributed to the Dalby sale which strengthened its yarding by 1,381 head week-on-week.

T he r e h a s b e e n a n increase of 16,674 head for Queensland year-to-date, demonstrating the strong supply of cattle coming to marketable weight.

C o n s e q u e n t l y, t h e increase in numbers has placed pressure on prices a s buy e r s h av e m o r e livestock to select from a nd producers look t o sell off some of their herd

numbers.

The Restocker Yearling Heifer Indicator lifted its throughput this week and continued to soften in price, easing by 20¢.

The inflated prices at the end of 2021 and during 2022 could not have been maintained in a market flooded by current supply.

In the last few months, buyers have only paid for cattle with good finish and weight.

Dalby had the highest contr ibution to the indicator, lifting by 319 head week-on-week. This left the Restocker Yearling Heifer at 346.05¢/kg live weight (lwt).

Stronger lamb yardings For the first time since January 2021, Eastern

S t a t e s Yo u n g C a t t l e prices fell below Eastern States Trade Lamb prices.

This highlights the price correction in the market to retail, as this is generally what supermarket brands are buying.

Trade lamb is at a 24¢ prem ium compa red t o cattle.

National trade lamb prices have softened, with a 7% lift in throughput.

Wagga Wagga contributed to 21% of the throughput, with prices softening 43¢ at the saleyard.

The demand for heavy lambs with good condition and weight continues as the Heavy Lamb Indicator strengthened 17¢ weekon-week.

The top five c o n t r i b u t o r s , Wa g g a

Wa g g a , A r m id a le , Ballarat and Forbes, were all trading at a premium a g a i n s t t h e n at i o n a l average and made up 63% of the throughput.

Forbes took the largest pr em iu m i n pr ic e s at 830.03¢/kg cwt, 22¢ above the national average and had their total yardings lift by 1,100 head.

Forbes lamb yardings softened with demand for heavy and extra-heavy lambs remaining high.

L amb ya rd i ngs at Wagga Wagga lifted and buyers were chasi ng short-skinned lambs with the softening in the skin market.

Slaughter Slaught er conti nues to strengthen for cattle, remaining above 100,000

head.

Q ueensla nd cattle sl aught er l i f t ed 8 % with increased supply of slaughter weight animals available in the market.

Sheep slaughter conti nues t o cl i mb, reaching 182,059 head this week.

NS W a nd Tasma n ia have had large lifts in nu m b e r s at 16 % a nd 41% respectively. Lamb slaughter remains steady, only just falling below numbers seen this time last year.

Howard Scifleet recognised for service to Binnaway Show Binnaway’s Howard Scifleet received a special plaque and certificate in recognition of his 51 years of service to the Binnaway Show at this year’s Art Preview evening on Friday, 24 February.

by JANE PHILLIPS M r S ci f leet began volu nt eer i ng for the Binnaway Show Society i n 19 72 when he wa s 18-years-old.

Encouraged to join by the Vice President at the time, B ob Watson, M r Scifleet said he never left.

In his first year he was on a horse in the ring bringing results back to the secretary’s office.

“A t t h a t t i m e t h e se cret a r y ’s of f ice was a tent in the ring,” Mr Scifleet said.

In his second year, he was the jump steward and then in 1975 he was ent i c e d by now S how president, Harry Powell, to become the steward of the prime lamb section.

Long-time friend and fellow volunteer, Larry Tolmie, said Howard had been involved in countless working bees, 51 show days and numerous camp draft events.

“Howard was a labourer with us for the Tricky Bricky when we constructed the bottom toilet block at the grounds,” Mr Tolmie said. “ He a l s o help e d u s build the original camp d r a f t ya r d s a nd t hen

we pulled those down to build the new Binnaway Multipurpose Arena.”

Mr Scif leet has been Vice President for 15 to 20 years and said he most enjoys the camaraderie between volunteers.

Show week delivers More than 1200 people v i sit e d t he B i n n away Showground for the events of Show Week from 21-26 February.

The events kicked off with 215 students taking part in Young Judges Day on the Tuesday, followed by the Art Preview evening on Friday night, Show Day on Saturday and Cow Horse Competition Friday to Sunday.

Binnaway Show secretary, Pam Southwell, said the week was a great success for the community despite some last-minute hurdles.

“On Thursday we were told our rides and food vans weren’t coming so we had to quickly come up with an alternative,” Ms Southwell said.

“We were able to secure some rides for Saturday from Newcastle and Marie from The Exchange Hotel Bistro agreed to cook on Saturday night so our volu nteers del ivered

meals from the pub to the showground.”

The live music, auction and drawing competitions on Friday night were very popular with crowds at the Art Preview.

“There was a fantastic vibe on Art Show night, we had around 100 people through the door, raised around $1000 in auction proceeds and kicked off the show in style,” she said. “ The whole show is a community event put on for the community by the community and we are lucky to have the support of the schools, sponsors, volunteers, stall holders and community groups to make it all happen. “ Thanks for the C o on a b a r a br a n S how committee for helping on the gate, Bruce Sutherland for loaning sheep, David Gra nt for the you ng a s p i r i n g au c t i o n e e r s c omp et it ion , s o m a ny people contributed.”

T he show t e a m a r e looking at ways to improve the event for next year and will now focus their efforts into the National Reined Cow Horse finals in mid-March.

Home away from home Adventures of a professional house-sitter.

by EMMA HARVEY Before she came to visit, Sandra Kozleuchar had never even heard of Coonabarabran.

“Coona what?” she recalls her dad saying when she told him. “Coona Banana Bran?”

A full time house-sitter as of June 2022, Sandra’s unconventional lifestyle takes her all over, to places she may otherwise have never noticed, let alone considered visiting.

The algorithms of house-sitting websites like Mindahome and TrustedHousesitters, are simple: match the availability of sitters, like Sandra, with homeowners looking for a temporary ‘tenant’ to mind their pets and water the plans while they’re away.

“I don’t want to bounce around too much,” says Sandra, who purposefully seeks out longer-term stays that allow her to “settle into the space” and get to know the community.

I drop in on Sandra at her latest homestay, a 140acre property just off River Road on the outskirts of Coonabarabran, where she’s booked in for a total of 16 weeks. The gravel driveway winds up a grassy hill to an impressive homestead with a yawning timber deck, sparkling blue pool, heart-soaring views in every direction. “ N ot bad!” I rema r k , a s Sa nd ra we l co m es me inside. “I’m guessing this is a lot bigger than anywhere you lived back in Sydney?”

Sandra shoots me a meaningful look.

“A lot.”

Before this, Sandra lived in an apar tment in Cremorne for nine years. And before that, in the United States, where she had more or less set herself up according to the Rulebook Of Life. That is: marriage, full-time job, permanent place of residence.

But then, as she puts it, “life happened.” And the rulebook got a rewrite.

Ret u r n i n g to Au s t ra l i a a n d s et t i n g u p h e r own graphic design business, Sublime Studios, Sandra began to get acquainted with a little unpredictability.

“It’s a bit like I know what’s going on, but I don’t know what’s going on, you know? I’m in control, but 6 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 9th March 2023

I’m not really. I feel like my resilience has naturally built up.”

To a sole trader working in a creative field, the idea of life without a fixed address didn’t seem so outlandish.

“Friends of mine say ‘how could you do this?’ And I do have that small freak-out from time to time – like, what am I doing here? But then you think, come on.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

It’s a rather liberating way to live. And not without its perks.

A l u x u r y r u ra l ret reat, fo r exa m p l e. W ith a backyard so big that there are cows wandering around, and you need a quad bike to take the bins out. A colourful garden, fresh chook eggs, native wildlife at your doorstep – Sandra shows me the king parrot tucked into a fence post, and a nest of four baby willy wagtails she’s been watching through the bathroom window. Though there is a dedicated study in the house, Sandra prefers to work in the open-plan kitchen, running her business from the dining room table, with a view of the hills.

As Sandra gives me the full tour, we are followed by an eager furry friend, the hurried pitter-patter of puppy paws across polished floorboards: Dottie the dog.

Dottie is the main reason for Sandra’s stay here.

As with most of these arrangements, it is more about the pet than anything else – opening up your home in exchange for a full-time sitter.

Baby birds and a garden in full bloom – I visited Sandra back in spring. By summer, Sandra has left Coonabarabran for Toowoomba, Rockhampton, and Murwillumbah. She recounts her continuing journey, the people and pets she meets along the way on her Find Penguins blog: Digital Gypsy Tales.

‘Oh Coona,’ she writes. ‘I will miss thee.’

To others interested in the house-sitting lifestyle, Sandra says this: “It’s a bit of a part-time job. You have a responsibility to the owner and to the property and to the pet. But anybody can do it. And if you commit for 12 months or more you can really explore places you never thought to visit.’

You know, like Coona Banana Bran.

Healthy cooking on a budget!

The Nourish 4 Life cooking classes held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church Hall in Coonabarabran were a massive success.

by CHRIS WARD It’s not hard to work out why either, as the 23 attendees not only learnt new cooking techniques and how to prepare healthy and tasty meals on a budget, but they then enjoyed lunch on what had been put together by Samantha Tregenza, who facilitated the class. And all for just $5!

Organiser, Trisha Cullen said the feedback from the first class was awesome and she urged anyone else interested to turn up on the day.

All the recipes put together were vegetarian based.

“People who come to the class learn how to prepare cheap, healthy and quick meals for their families,” Ms Cullen said.

“The recipes are versatile and have interchangeable ingredients and it is explained where meat and dairy products can be added if required.

“All of the cooking is gluten free and it is designed on cooking to a budget and spending as less time as possible in the kitchen.”

Ms Tregenza has a Certificate III in

Community Health and Education.

In her first class she demonstrated how to make taco seasoning, cashew cream, blackbean nacho mix and caramel popcorn.

The classes will be held fortnightly on Tuesdays from 10am, with the next class due on 7 March.

For more information give Ms Cullen a call on 0434 001 294.

Bank closures impact rural communities Coonabarabran’s three remaining banking institutions already run at limited hours. How long until they follow the trend of other towns that surround the Shire and lose those facilities all together?

by CHRIS WARD Several branches have closed in recent times at Wee Waa, Gunnedah, Gilgandra and now Moree.

Federal member for Parkes, Mark Coulton said the banks’ decisions were affecting the most at risk community members.

“These decisions will disadvantage the elderly, people with disability and Aboriginal people who require access to in-person banking because they lack digital literacy or have no means to access the appropriate technologies required for online or telephone banking,” Mr Coulton said.

“This may lead to more people being vulnerable to online banking scams; and I am equally concerned about the personal safety of people who may feel forced to take out and carry around larger amounts of cash.

“The importance of faceto-face banking for the most vulnerable members of our community cannot be underestimated, and

while I am pleased that Westpac has halted closures in other areas, I find the closure of its Moree branch to be especially short-sighted.”

A Senate inquiry has been established following the closure or slated closure of 92 bank branches across regional Australia since September.

The Senate committee has called on all banks to halt branch closures until the completion of the inquiry.

Chair of the committee, Senator Matthew Canavan said banking institutions seemed to be contradicting themselves in the message they are portraying.

“We need to be finding solutions that enable the ongoing ability for these communities to access banking services without the undue need to travel multiple hours, especially when businesses and community groups need to have access to bank cash,” he said.

“All four of the big banks have signed up to support the referendum on The

Voice, but we’re seeing them close branches in communities with a high proportion of Indigenous people. If they really wanted to make sure they were having a positive impact they would be working with these communities to ensure they don’t lose an essential service, and that’s what we’re wanting to achieve with this inquiry.”

Submissions to the inquiry close on 31 March and can be made by any member of the public.

The inquiry is expected to report back to the Senate by 1 December.

Submissions can be made by emailing: rrat. sen@aph.gov.au Coonabarabran banks already operate on limited hours. Current opening hours are as follows: Commonwealth Bank of Australia: Monday Friday, 9.30am - 1pm.

Regional Australia Bank: Monday - Friday, 10am - 3pm.

National Australia Bank: Monday - Friday, 9.30am 12.30pm.

SPECIAL EDITION: INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

A legacy of strong women Maxine, Leeane, Lucy and Hannah represent four generations of Coonabarabran women. Emma Harvey spoke with each of them ahead of this year’s International Women’s Day, to find out what has changed for women and what has been handed down through the family.

Lucy Evans Leanne Redfern

Maxine Bright

What was school like for you? I did quite well in class – achieving good marks in most classes until the teenage years kicked in. I wasn’t very sporty, I was more into the theory side of music and loved being in musicals.

What has your career looked like? I worked in banking straight out of school and was customer service manager by the time I finished there after 23 years. I would probably still be there if it hadn’t closed. I was lucky that the position of office assistant at Cooinda came along in 2000. At the time I had no idea of the opportunities that I would have at Cooinda, but here I am – now the CEO. What is the most important piece of advice you have been given? I think it was when I started my first job and it was from my father, Russell, who said that I should always keep busy and if I didn’t have anything to do ask someone if I can help them. On a personal note, it would probably be “Go with the flow” or “don’t stress” – just like mum.

Have you faced any barriers in your life due to gender inequality? With regards to my banking career, it did move from a traditionally maledominated management team to include more women over time. Sometimes I felt that the men in the branch were treated differently with privileges (like an early finish for golf on a Thursday afternoon), but that was around 30 years ago – things have changed.

If you could have dinner with three women, dead or alive, who would they be? Dolly Parton, Julia Zemiro and Annabel Crabb.

How would the women in your life describe you? A loyal and kind friend. Organised (and an organiser). Peace maker. My mother added that I am a bit of a party girl – but I am slowing down a bit as I get older!

What was school like for you? It was a very small school in Binnaway, so we all just played together. We had fun. They took us on a trip to Baradine for the day and we thought we’d been down to Sydney! We weren’t hard to please.

What has your career looked like? When I left school in Binnaway they didn’t have any Higher School Certificates or anything. Back then, in Binnaway, you could get work. I went into cafes and then motels. I was a cook at the Sunshine Cafe, the Imperial Hotel, the Bowling Club.

Then, when I had kids, I didn’t work for a long time. But I’d have a go at anything.

What is the most important piece of advice you have been given? You can do it.

Have you faced any barriers in your life due to gender inequality? I’m a pretty casual woman.

Be happy, don’t worry. Go with the flow.

If you could have dinner with three women, dead or alive, who would they be? I don’t need any famous women, I would have all my friends!

How would the women in your life describe you? That I have too many friends! I have lots of friends and I could make another one tomorrow if I met someone I liked. And easy going.

What do you have in common with the other women in your family? We are family-oriented.

Family is most important.

What was school like for you? I actually went to school here (in Coonabarabran). It was a great school, a lot bigger than it is now. I loved school.

My favourite teacher was Mrs Mack. I wasn’t the perfect student, but I was pretty good.

What has your career looked like? Teacher and now principal at Coonabarabran Public School.

What is the most important piece of advice you have been given? If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Have you faced any barriers in your life due to gender inequality? Teaching has always been dominated by women, however, the leadership roles can be dominated by men.

I’ve often had to prove myself. But I’ve been given incredible opportunities working at this school – if I was somewhere else I might not have.

If you could have dinner with three women, dead or alive, who would they be? Princess Diana, Janette Barkley and my late great grandmother, Beaulah.

How would the women in your life describe you? Bossy but confident. Organised. They would hopefully say I’m kind. I do try to please people, sometimes to a fault.

What do you have in common with the other women in your family? We’re all very forthright women who know what we want. We end up being the one in our friend groups who others go to for advice, or the one who hosts the dinner party, or splits the bill.

How is school going? I attend boarding school at Calrossy in Tamworth. I really enjoy my school because of the opportunities and most importantly my friends.

What plans do you have for your career?

My current plans are to work for my horse coach for a year after I finish school and then to either be in the police force or a real estate agent.

What is the most important piece of advice you have been given? My most important advice I have received is to always be grateful for all my opportunities and to always take on new opportunities.

Have you faced any barriers in your life due to gender inequality? I have been very lucky in my life to be surrounded by people who didn’t look at me differently because of my gender, so not really any barriers for me.

If you could have dinner with three women, dead or al ive, who would they be and why ? I would love to have dinne r w ith Queen E l izabeth as I fell she would be ve r y k n ow l e d g e a b l e a n d w i s e, Cat hy Freeman because she is very inspirational and Edweena Tops-Alexander as she is a well-known international horse rider.

How would the women in your life describe you? Fun, opinionated, sassy.

What do you have in common with the other women in your family? We are all very hard working and committed women.

SPECIAL EDITION: INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

Emma and Eddie – a formidable force FROM FRONT “ I l ove it. It’s something that I’m going to keep doing f o r a l o n g t i m e,” Emma explained. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, any prize money isn’t enough to make a living off in Australia so I will have to keep juggling work with competing.”

Working in Sydney as an exporter, Emma said while her lifestyle was hectic and at times draining, her

cur rent working conditions allowed her to live out her dream of competing.

Her dedication to the spor t shines through as she explained that after a long week at work, she and Eddie saddle up and head off to do their thing.

“I work night shifts, so I finish at lunch time on a Friday and then I w i l l go and load everything up and head off on the road to where ever

the competition is,” she said.

“While Eddie is at his peak we will give this season our best crack yet again and enjoy the journey of travelling down the road each and every weekend.

“I wouldn’t want to do it any othe r wa y w i t h a n ot h e r horse. My best mate, t ra ve l l i n g p a r t n e r and my ride or die who car ries me through life!”

Women in Science Though historically under represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, the work of women in science has been paramount to our understanding of the world we live in. Whether it’s Marie Curie’s discovery of radioactivity or Katherine Johnson’s mathematical work in sending the first Americans to space, women have been the cornerstone of many significant scientific breakthroughs. In recognition of the important work of women in science, Jimmy Whalan interviewed three local science teachers from Coonabarabran High School about what International Women’s Day means to them.

Maleisah Eshman Head teacher of science

What does International Women’s Day mean to you? A day to acknowledge and celebrate women’s achievements, however, we tend to focus on the big things - sometimes I think we just need to pat ourselves on the back for the little things that we can get done in our busy lives.

Wha t i ns p i red you to becom e a science teacher? I had some fantastic role models at school – Mrs Packett and Mrs Davis to name but a few – who suggested that I apply for a Department of Education scholarship targeted towards science teaching.

H i s t o r i ca l l y, wo m e n h a ve b e e n underrepresented in STEM - how do you think that compares to the number of women studying in STEM fields today?

What does International Women’s Day mean to you? It’s a fantastic way to recognise the achievements of women and put great female role models in the limelight. We need to normalise the fact that women can be more than they often allow themselves to be.

What inspired you to become a science teacher? My love of science and the joy I get from sharing knowledge and encouraging young people led me to teaching.

Historically, women have been under represented in STEM, how do you think that compares to the number of women studying in STEM fields today?

I remember being the only female in my intake of almost 100 students when I studied engineering back in the

day. Programs like the FIRST Robotics Competition, that place a strong focus on making STEM more accessible to females is making a difference. The Coonabarabran robotics team has over 50 per cent female team members, which is an indication of the positive change.

What does an equal future in STEM look like? We need to normalise the idea of females in STEM and kick the stereotypes associated with it. An equal future will be when girls who are interested in STEM feel confident to make the choice.

What’s the most rewarding part about being a science teacher? It is a beautiful moment when your student experiences success - even if it is just a small win.

What inspired you to become a science teacher? Where I went to school we had a few fantastic teachers who were long-term locals. However, many of my teachers in high school were inexperienced and only stayed three years before moving back to the coast.

I loved studying science when I went to university and as a science teacher I hope to inspire country kids to pursue careers in scientific fields.

How can we encourage future female leaders in STEM? Promoting the achievements of women in STEM, raising awareness about the careers available in STEM and giving young girls opportunities to explore STEM. What is the most rewarding part about being a science teacher? Seeing

There is a fantastic photo of a group of scientists from 1927 where Marie Curie is the only female scientist in a group of 29. I think, today, the number of women in STEM-related fields is quite high. I was fortunate enough to attend a scholarship evening at the University of NSW last year and I can say that female engineers were well represented in these scholarship awards.

What advice would you give to women who may be struggling in a typically male-dominated industry? Know your stuff and surround yourself with a good team.

What’s the coolest thing about careers in STEM? The field is so broad. By getting in and having a go you never know where a STEM career could take you.

Sherelle Moore Physics teacher

students enjoying learning and getting excited about science are two fantastic aspects of teaching science. But the best part is when students carry out experiments and their results disprove their hypothesis that they based on a misconception. It is rewarding to see young people questioning an idea and realise they can change their beliefs when provided with new evidence.

What advice would you give to women who may be struggling in a typically male-dominated industry? If you love it, stick with it, as you are laying a path for young girls to follow.

What’s the coolest thing about careers in STEM? When experiments don’t work out the way you expected and then you have to work out why.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public

Saint Lawrence’s Students at St Lawrence’s Catholic School participated in our Ash Wednesday Mass on 22 February. This is an important Mass that symbolises the start of Lent.

Father Francis placed an ash cross on the student’s forehead. This is to remind students to be the best person they can be and to ask for forgiveness from God. Year 2 hosted the Mass and it was great to see many parishioners and parents in attendance.

Students at school have been encouraged to think about this important Catholic time of Lent.

It is a time where we prepare for Easter and the resurrection of Jesus.

Students are encouraged to be even more thoughtful in prayer, to be the best person they can be, to give to charity and to give up something that they may do for pleasure. St Lawrence’s is currently

raising money for Project Compassion.

Netball clinics have started and the students are gaining many ball and movement skills which

are important for netball.

These clinics will continue for another few weeks.

All classes are busy tapping into their creativity and imagination

while they are creating their show art for the Coonabarabran Show.

Be sure to visit the art pavilions to witness their wonderful skills.

Parent information meeting Teachers hosted a parent information session last week to share class routines and information about how children learn in the classroom here at Tooraweenah.

We greatly appreciated parents attending and for those who had prior commitments, we hope to meet with you at the Best Start parent/teacher sessions.

STEPs to Success In maths, students engage in activities to build their understanding through hands-on (concrete) activities.

Kindergarten explored g r o w i n g o r s h ri n ki ng patterns of one and two.

Some students even created patterns with the colours.

Coonabarabran High In the footsteps o f O l y m p i a n s , three determined Coonabarabran High School students pushed their nerves aside and did a fantastic job representing North West in the Combined High Schools Softball Championships at Blacktown International

Softball Stadium.

The Coonabarabran trio consisted of Emma Thompson, Ella Atkinson, and Alirah Watton, who participated in her fourth year.

The girls made the most of the fabulous opportunity to play on the Olympic diamonds, including

a game under lights, which was an impressive experience.

Alirah ended her softball representative career in style with safe hits, dives into bases and several incredible catches in the outfield. Alirah was also voted Player’s Player.

Ella and Emma

enjoyed their first year at the championships; they returned with new friends, fun memories, improved skills, and a better understanding of softball.

It was an exciting and exhausting nine games (13.5 hrs!) of softball in three days.

Australians tell us every day that they are concerned about the world we live in, but often feel frustrated and unsure how to make a positive impact.

Clean Up Australia Day is a great opportunity for community groups to work together and take practical action to make a real difference, and last Friday our school participated in the annual Clean Up Australia school event.

A l l c l a s s e s enthusiastically demonstrated their school and community spirit by

cleaning up our school grounds and surrounding boundary.

With thunderous applause and cheering a fit and enthusiastic group travelled to Armidale on Tuesday to cheer the CPS swimmers on at North West level competition.

Our team of swimming superstars was made up of Olive Moppett, Bella S t a n i f o r t h , M a k ay l a Milsom, Audrey Rouse, Lyl a M c K er n a n , M i a Bowman, Lily Weatherall, Hudson Jenner, Jackson Player, Dan Meyers, Jayce

M c D o nou g h , R e b e c c a Staniforth.

It was a fabulous day of competition and comradery, with everyone swimming their hearts out and did our school proud. Well done to all the competitors.

It is always a busy time in Kindergarten and Monday afternoons is no exception when the opportunity class, Mrs Meyer’s 5/6 Motivated read with their buddies.

Both classes look forward to their time together and the experience is invaluable as a learning time.

Coonabarabran Public School students actively participated in Clean Up Australia Day.

River clean-up and release Clean-up Australia Day was on Sunday, 5 March and the Coonabarabran Fishing Club got right into the spirit of things.

Upwards of 30 people were on hand to clean up the Castlereagh River, with a number of helpers getting out on the water i n k ay a k s a nd s m a l l boats.

Secretary of the F ish i ng Club, Gra nt Wo o d , w a s t h a n k f u l everyone came together for a common cause.

A nd in a positive sign he said the group

expected to come across more rubbish than they did.

“It was a good day and it was great to see people out helping to tidy the river up,” Mr Wood said.

A lthough the lack of rubbish was a good sign, volunteers still pulled a number of trollies from the river, along with a number of underwater haza rds i nclud i ng a

chemical shuttle.

As part of the event, the F ish ing Club a lso released 25,000 yellow belly fingerlings into the river system.

The last time a release of this scale occurred was two years ago.

M r Wo o d s a i d t h e f ishing still remained solid with a number of yellow belly and cod being reeled in.

On Thursday, 9 March, guest reader for Reading Hour, Suellyn Tighe reads her own children’s books in Gamilaraay language and some other wonderful children’s books from the library.

Coonabarabran Fishing Club president, Adam Spittles, releases some of the 25,000 yellowbelly fingerlings into the Castlereagh River. To date the club has released more than 125,000 over the past 12 years.

WEATHER WATCH

Dr Seuss Storytime was held at Coonabarabran Library last week.

Bushfire threat looms NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) crews from across the Warrumbungle Shire have been kept busy over the past few weeks with the number of call outs steadily increasing since February.

A fire in the bushland at the end of Camp Street, Coonabarabran on the Saturday, 4 March saw NSW F ire and R escue crews attend and were assisted by RFS. The same blaze reignited the following d ay, but w a s q u i c k ly dealt with.

A l s o o n S u n d ay, f ive br igades required assistance from aerial

water bombers and heav y equ ipment t o regain control of a fire off Gamble Creek Road, near Binnaway.

Castlereagh Zone acting district manager, A a r on Powel l , s a id it was an agricultural burn that had f inished, but reignited.

It caused M r Powell t o issue a wa r n i ng t o anyone participating in

any type of burn. “ T hey need to be vigilant by making sure they control it and mop up properly,” he said.

“Fires can reignite up to 48 hours later so you really need to be on the ball. “ Wat ch the weather and time burns accordingly.”

M r Powel l s a id t he current forecast is for

drying conditions with wa rm a nd d r y d ays c om i ng r ig ht t h r oug h until the end of March. “ The fire season started out pretty slow because of all the rain, but it’s started to pick up si nc e a r ou nd m idFebruar y when things started drying out and call outs have doubled or even tripled since then,” he explained.

Most reg ions of the nation, including our own region, did have a dry summer season. The ma i n except ion s were the Barkly region of the Northern Territory and in the north tropical coast of Queensland.

Ten n a nt C r e ek h a s recorded its wettest ever su m mer i n 14 9 ye a r s of records, with a total of 649mms, nearly three times the summer average of 225mms.

During the first four days of March a further 182mms was recorded at Tennant Creek, making a total of 831mms since 1 De cember 2 02 2 a nd is already the wettest December t o M a r ch p er io d on record. The heavy rain produced the coldest pair of March days in any year at Tennant Creek since 19 49, a nd before that in 1913, the maximum readings being 21.3 and

22.7 degrees.

A listing of 12 wettest s u m m e r s at T e n n a nt Creek show only two of t he we t t e s t s u m me r s occurred when our region did have a dry summer.

These were in 1893-94 and 1956-57. Apart from heavy rain in March 1894 a nd aga i n i n O c t ober 1894 and near normal rain during the winter, mo st ot her mont h s of 18 9 4 wer e d r ier th a n average.

I n 1957, Ma rch r a i n f a l l w a s s l i g ht ly ab ove average. Ju ne 1957 was notably warmer and wetter than usual in our reg ions. T he spr ing of 1957, except for souther n Vict or ia, wa s not ably d r y w ith maximum temperatures t oppi ng 3 3 before the end of October and 38 by late November. December 1957 was very hot, but heavy rain arrived at the end of December at most places.

Roma, in southern Qld, recorded its second driest summer in the last 153 ye a r s of r e c ord s w ith only 39.2mms, after a wet year. Out of five previous d r iest summers on ly one followed a notably wetter year and this was in 1950-51. In addition, Roma had a very hot day of 40.6 on Wednesday, 1 March. T here was a reading of 41.1 degrees on 2 March 1951.

March 1951 was very d r y a nd wa rmer tha n usual. but wetter north of Dubbo. Significant rain was recorded from late May 1951 through most of the winter, but from September onwards, just like 1957, was well below average.

V e r y h i g h temperatures of over 40 degrees did occur during e a rly D e c em b e r 19 51 in Coonabarabran and at many other towns in NSW.

Just keep swimming Water at the Coonabarabran Pool is looking “just beautiful” according to Aqua and Community Fitness coordinator, Fay Chapman – a welcome turnaround after recent closures and water quality concerns.

by EMMA HARVEY I n a season a l ready d e l ay e d b y l i f e g u a r d shor tages, the Aqua Aerobics calendar was a g a i n i nt er r upt e d by ex t ended po ol closu re last month, with Wa r r u m bu n g l e S h i r e C ou n c i l c it i n g pu bl i c

health regulations.

With the po ol now reopened to season ticket holders seaven days a week, Mrs Chapman said she was happy to report that Aqua Fitness classes had resumed their twiceweekly schedule. “ It wa s l o v e ly t h i s morning,” she reported

a f t er M ond ay ’s 10 a m class.

“We are so happy to be out there, especially on these hot days.”

M r s C h apm a n s a id the team of trained aqua fitness instructors had “managed okay” with the ongoing interruptions and that attendance remained

enthusiastic despite it all.

On the state of the pool facilities more generally, she d id not e that the toilets and change-rooms left much to be desired and that many patrons choose t o av o id t he u n c le a n showers altogether.

“It would be good to see them regularly cleaned.”

Despite ongoing pool closures, Coonabarabran Aqua Aerobics are still managing to meet on a regular basis.

It was a tough fight that came down to the wire, but it was a n equa l ly tough preparation.

Days out from the bout Clayton found himself 2.5 kilograms over weight.

He took to the road, r u n n i n g a nu mb er o f kilometres and spending time in the sauna.

But all the hard work p a id o f f a s he e d g e d out his opponent on the canvas.

Clayton said it was a surreal experience.

“I’m a proud Coonabarabran and Gamilaroi boy and it was awesome to have all my friends and family there, and my sponsor the WalkAbout-Barber, and to put on a show for them,” he said.

The 18 year-old plans to have one final fight as an amateur before looking to turn professional.

T he nex t f i g ht w i l l be for the NSW Super Cruiserweight T itle or the Austra l ia n Globa l Title, which will be held in Cobar on 1 April.

Clayton has big dreams of making it in boxing and said his ultimate goal would be to face the likes of American boxer Caleb Plant.

A nd w it h C l ay t on’s det erm i nation , work eth ic a nd the r ight pe ople i n h is cor ner a ny t h i n g i s p o s s i ble , especially considering he is supported by his uncle Anthony Mundine.

Clayton often trains and runs with Mundine who he says is still as fit as ever.

And the young pugilist said it’s his fitness that sets him apart from the rest of his opposition.

“I train everyday and of ten r u n w ith Cho c,” he said.

“He (Anthony) smashes me. He really pushes me

hard. “ I ’d have t o say my f it ne s s i s my bi g g e s t strength.”

C l ay t o n h a s b o x e d since he was six-years-old

and can’t wait to take the next step in his career.

“I’ve trained hard my whole life. I want to take this as far as I can.

“I want to get to the top

and challenge everyone,” he said.

The young man currently trains out of Cronu l la B ox i ng Club and is coached by David

Birchell.

S o fa r, Clay t on has been to three Australian Titles and competed in NSW V Queensland and City V Country.

His quest to ride every winner on the program was thwarted when his mount was beaten only a long neck in the other race.

by Inzaghi ($3.20), with Get Up A lby ( Breanna B ou rke, $ 4) f i n ish i ng third.

Tottenham racecourse was, as usual, presented in outstanding order and the meeting attracted a big crowd.

Coona’s cricket team to contest grand final Coonabarabran’s cricket team has advanced to the Grand Final of this season’s cricket competition after a wonderful win against Marthaguy at Victoria Park, Warren, last Saturday, 4 March.

CRICKET The win came only three weeks after Coona was narrowly defeated by the same side at the same venue.

In what started as very pleasant conditions for cricket, Marthaguy won the toss and elected to bat.

Coona’s bowling was very tight. With a slow outf ield a nd batti ng w ith g reat d iscipl i ne, Marthaguy advanced to 1-39 at the 15 over mark, one t h i r d of t he way through their allotted 45 overs.

The scorning rate was m a i nt a i ne d a f t er t he break and at the 30th over mark, Marthaguy found themselves well placed to hit out in the last part of the innings, with two batsmen set and the score at 3-82.

T he last part of the innings was action packed, Coona taking three wickets for four runs at one point before a flurry of runs at the end of the innings saw the score advance to 7-138.

The main contributors with the bat were Andrew Freeth (39), Richard Flinn (30) and Jack Irving (20).

Wicket takers for Coona

were Anthony Harris (333), Nick Willoughby (2-26) and Harry Willoughby (1-24).

With the slow outfield, chasing down Marthaguy’s total was always going to be difficult. The Coona boys batted well, but slowly, and after 15 overs and the first drinks break, they were 1-23, still requiring a further 116 for victory.

The scoring increased during the next session and at the next drinks break, a fter 3 0 overs, the score was 4-79 and A nthony Harris joined Nick Willoughby who was on 34.

The next 12 overs were wonderful for Coona as both batsmen took to the attack and hit the 50 runs required for victory, with three overs to spare; Nick finishing 69 not out and Anthony 23 not out.

O ther batsmen t o reach double figures in the innings were Harry W i l l o u g h b y ( 16 ) a n d Hamish Fauchon (12).

Wicket takers for M a r thag uy were Jack Irving, Doug Freeth, Ben Storer and John McKay, who took one wicket each.

The win was considered by the C o ona boys t o be their finest in living

memory. They played semifinals for the first time last year, but were eliminated in the first semi, finishing fourth. They now have a chance to win their first

title since entering the Gilgandra District Cricket C ompetition. We w ish them well.

The team now has a week off before playing the

winner of the final between Marthaguy and Gidgee.

The grand final will be played in Gilgandra on 18 March.

SPECIAL EDITION: INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

Coonabarabran’s golden girl Local athlete, Siarne Davis has added more gold to her collection, securing a first place podium finish at the 2023 NSW Athletics Junior Championships held in Sydney on Sunday, 26 February.

SEE FULL FEATURE INSIDE

by JIMMY WHALAN Siarne won the gold medal for her efforts in the Under 18’s women’s discus event, achieving first place out of a group of 10 competitors.

On the day, Siarne threw a distance of 35.59 metres, with the throw for second place being 34.85m.

Securing a place in the NSW athletics team, Siarne now qualifies for the 2023 Australian Athletics Junior Track and Field Championships, competing in Brisbane next month.

Although she was excited to have claimed gold, Siarne said she was disappointed she didn’t throw as far as she knew she could.

In fact, just two nights prior to the event, Siarne had thrown a distance of 36.95m.

Siarne said she was looking forward to the national championships and was working hard on her strength and conditioning, and aiming to smash her personal best results.

The talented athlete has been throwing discus since she was seven-years-old and has been training tirelessly in the field for the past 10 years.

Siarne’s commitment to the sport involves regular trips to Dubbo to train with her coach, David Lowe and head coach of Harradine Performance, Ken Harradine.

Siarne has travelled far and wide for training and competitions and has been a regular at Hunter Throwers Club this season.

Through discus, Siarne has found her happy place, where she has been able to have many achievements in the sport, while making meeting lots of new friends in the process.

Congratulations Siarne!

Water buyback pushback The reintroduction of water buybacks in the Murray-Darling Basin, including the Namoi catchment, has been met with widespread concern from rural MPs and agricultural organisations.

In February, the federal government announced it would start

Glen Crump honoured as a multicultural champion MOREE Glen Crump’s contributions to the Moree community have been honoured after being named one of NSW’s multicultural champions for 2023.

Mr Crump was among 16 people and community organisations honoured at the Premier’s annual Harmony Dinner in late February.

Earlier this year, Mr Crump was named as the recipient of the Australia Day Mayor’s Award for his continued passionate commitment and contribution to the Moree community. Mr Crump has enjoyed active involvement in the Moree community since he was a child.

a new round of strategic water purchasing as part of its Bridging the Gap plan.

Recovering a remaining water volume of 49.2 gigalitres is required to bridge the gap to the sustainable diversion limits set out in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, the federal

government has said.

The federal government will strategically purchase water in six catchments across NSW and Queensland, including 9.5 gigalitres of surface water from the Namoi.

The state’s peak irrigators’ body, the NSW Irrigators Council, said

the strategy to buy back 49 gigalitres had sent a shiver down the spine of irrigating communities across the basin.

“For months, the federal Water Minister Tanya Plibersek promised all options are on the table, but instead is only pressing ahead with the most damaging and

divisive option of all,” said NSW Irrigators Council CEO Claire Miller.

“The focus on buybacks as the first resort option is alarming, given the socio-economic and water market impacts of past buybacks well-documented by ABARES and in other reviews.”

Crump Builder appointed for $80 million Glen honoured as Moree Hospital redevelopment a multicultural champion

MOREE BESIX Watpac will be engaged for the construction of the $80 million redevelopment of the Moree District Hospital.

The company has been engaged under an ‘early contractor involvement’ (ECI) agreement and will finalise the design for the redevelopment, while continuing to work with the project team as well as clinicians, patients, families and the community.

The hospital design, released last year, includes a new clinical services building within the existing hospital site to house services including an emergency department, imaging, operating theatres, birthing suites and an inpatient unit.

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall said BESIX Watpac had been engaged by NSW Health following a competitive tender process and would work with the project team and local community to finalise the detailed design and start construction of the new hospital and health facilities.

“I’m thrilled and relieved we’ve reached this critical milestone because it is the ‘point of no

IN BRIEF

Quarterly public donations approved Moree Plains Shire Council resolved to provide five grants as part of its quarterly public donations at the council meeting on February 16.

Funding of $3000 each was awarded to Barwon Health Alliance to support the Dr William K Hunter Scholarship, the Moree on a Plate Festival, the 2023 Moree Show and to Yaama Ganu Aboriginal Corporation to support Tjarlirli art workshops.

Moree Family Support was awarded $2500 for the replacement of playground equipment for the Mungindi Playgroup.

return’ for the project,” Mr Marshall said.

Mr Marshall said regardless of the outcome of this month’s state election, the new hospital is locked in and Moree will get the full $80 million worth of new health facilities.

“It also means that we should see soil turned on the site to commence construction in a matter of months as the final detailed designs are finalised in consultation with hospital staff and the community,” he said.

“As part of the build, the number of beds in the hospital

will be increased to more than 50, which is good news for the predicted future growth of the Moree district.

“We’ll also have a new helipad constructed, meaning air retrievals will occur back at the hospital, rather than at Moree Airport.

“This is another exciting and positive step towards a modern, fit-for-purpose facility that will best meet the healthcare needs of the community now and well into the future.”

Mr Marshall said the detailed design is expected to be completed in a few months and following

this the project will move into the construction phase with an early works package to occur first to prepare the site for main works construction.

“Community involvement in the design of contemporary health facilities is key to getting it right, and it’s great to see the Moree community so engaged in this project,” he said.

“There will be more opportunities to help shape the design for the redevelopment, with the project team to seek feedback once the latest designs are released in the coming months.”

Nominations open for Senior Citizen of the Year MOREE Nominations for the Moree Plains Shire Council’s 2023 Senior Citizen of the Year Award are now open.

As part of NSW Seniors Week, the award recognises community members aged 60 and older who have made a special contribution to our community.

Council’s community development/liaison officer Jacqui Moore said the award is a great way to say thank you and to show a senior how much they are appreciated.

“Many of our older residents go above and beyond for others, enhancing our amazing communities through their tireless efforts,” she said.

“They may have volunteered

their time for charity, made a difference in someone’s life or have been passionate about a cause that has made an impactful change.

“If you know someone exceptional like this, please nominate them, so we can collectively celebrate their efforts.”

Nominations close at 5pm on Monday, March 20 with the winner announced at the Seniors Week luncheon on March 29.

A copy of the award nomination form is available on council’s website.

Alternatively, hardcopy versions are available at the Moree Community Library, Mungindi Rural Transaction Centre and council’s customer service centre.

Moree Plains Shire Senior Citizen of the Year was presented to Carolyn Osmond in 2022.

Mr Crump said he was overwhelmed to know he was the only person outside of Sydney honoured on the night.

He attended the recent dinner in Sydney to accept the CommBank Regional Unity Medal.

Among Mr Crump’s involvements he was nominated for include the 23 years he has hosted his Aboriginal radio show.

Mr Crump has also enjoyed long-term involvements with youth, sporting, reconciliation and education groups.

He recalled spending three months last year helping people following the devastating major floods across the northern areas of the state.

“I would see the devastation and be the person who is able to support people and listen to them,” he said.

“I still keep in touch with some of them today.”

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall praised Mr Crump for his outstanding contribution to the community.

“This is a great honour for Glen and testament to the service he has rendered to Moree and his hard work volunteering over a number of years,” Mr Marshall said.

“Glen is a proud Aboriginal man from Moree who has been actively involved in the community since he was 12.”

Concerns voiced about water Local Artist Pavement buyback plan Showcase – Wee Waa Continued from front page

“The minister needs to be upfront about which communities and towns she wants to shut down to deliver her Basin Plan,” said Ms Miller.

“There is nothing strategic about planned open tenders to buy back water to Bridge the Gap in the under-recovered valleys.

“The mere entry of the Commonwealth into the market drove prices up in the last open tenders a decade ago, so those who have approached the government already to sell are just hoping they will get paid a premium they wouldn’t get by selling to other farmers.

“The Commonwealth is engaging in exactly the kind of anti-competitive behaviour that ACCC-recommended market reforms accepted by the government are intended to prevent. Communities are already living with the pressure of less water at higher prices, thanks to buybacks a decade ago.

Further buybacks will push many off the edge in the next drought.

National Farmers’ Federation water committee chair Malcolm Holm said the water buybacks announcement had been dropped without consultation, without a strategic discussion at the Ministerial Council, and without any clear boundaries on the scope of these buybacks.

“We need open consultation and transparency in decision making and we’re looking to Minister Plibersek to lead that approach,” Mr Holm said.

“We have recently written to water ministers seeking openness and transparency – both from the Ministerial Council and their advisory body the Basin Officials Committee. After the last Ministerial Council four ministers wrote to us, none of them talked about the intention to move on the headroom acquisition, we only found out about that at November budget estimates.

“We can’t have this lack of transparency when deals are being made that impact people’s livelihoods and communities.”

Parliamentarians have been equally as concerned by the announcement, with NSW Water Minister and Nationals MP Kevin Anderson saying the federal Labor government had walked away from basin communities.

“NSW continues to oppose non-strategic buybacks, which history has shown will bring regional communities to their knees,”

Mr Anderson said.

“The federal Labor government has announced it will enter the market to strategically buy back 49GL of water under the Bridging the Gap target.

“Let’s be clear, there is nothing strategic about an open market tender. The only strategy here seems to have been to blindside the states with this news just 48 hours before Friday’s Ministerial Council meeting.

“The NSW position on Bridging the Gap was clear: that the 50GL of over recovered water in NSW should count towards targets in other NSW valleys. The Commonwealth clearly ignored this sensible request.”

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton described the announcement as worrying news for basin communities.

“A total of 49.2 gigalitres of water will be recovered from six catchments in the Murray-Darling Basin, including the Namoi, Barwon-Darling, NSW Border Rivers and Lachlan catchments which all fall within the Parkes electorate. The new round of buybacks aims to help achieve the ‘Bridging the Gap’ target – a total of 2075GL in flows to be returned to the environment each year,” he said.

“Previous water buybacks have had disastrous consequences for communities in the Parkes electorate, and I’m concerned about the impact these new purchases will have.

“It’s all well and good for the Minister to say that irrigators want to sell their water but there’s obviously little thought as to what that means for our agricultural communities when productive water is taken out of the system.”

Federal Environment and Water Minister Tanya Plibersek said water purchases are voluntary and would only be for the remaining 49 gigalitres of the Bridging the Gap target.

“Bridging the Gap is the largest pool of water to be recovered under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan – a total of 2075GL. Around 49GL remains to be recovered,” she said.

“Today’s announcement marks an important step forward in delivering upon the Commonwealth government’s commitment to complete the Murray–Darling Basin Plan.

“The government will strategically purchase water through an open, competitive, transparent tender.”

Trees planted at upgraded Moree PCYC MOREE New trees have been planted around the upgraded PCYC in Moree thanks to $10,200 in funding provided under the Australian government’s Planting Trees for the Queen’s Jubilee program.

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton attended the official opening of the refurbished PCYC and planted one of the trees

in commemoration of the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

“I’m pleased to be here today to plant one of the trees funded under the Planting Trees for the Queen’s Jubilee program,” Mr Coulton said. “This program has enabled communities across the Parkes electorate to plant many saplings which we hope will become established trees to be enjoyed well into the future. Not only

will these trees enhance the look of the new PCYC facilities in Moree, but they are a fantastic way to honour the legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. “The new trees at Moree PCYC will eventually provide fruit and shade to those who use these facilities, and I look forward to seeing these young trees grow stronger each year.”

PCYC NSW CEO Dominic Teakle

said the reopening of the Moree facility marks an exciting milestone for the community.

“As a youth charity, PCYC NSW has been serving communities across NSW and we are excited to re-open the upgraded Moree PCYC today,” Mr Teakle said.

“It is a wonderful space with upgrades to many of the facilities, as well as covering our life-changing programs, social resilience, and

educational needs for the community in which we serve.

“Along with the functional building upgrades, the planting of 30 new native and fruit trees around the club thanks to the Queen’s Jubilee program, will promote health and social wellbeing by removing air pollution, reducing stress, encouraging physical activity and lastly, creating a beautiful environment for the community.”
