Rotary...in the beginning

Next week, the Rotary Club of Coonabarabran will celebrate its 75th anniversary, a chance to look back at what we have achieved and enjoyed, and to share some of this with you!

Coonabarabran Rotar y Club owes a great deal to Gunnedah businessman Bill McDonagh, who spearheaded the move to form a club in this town.

The new group was admit ted to membership in Rotary on 13 May 1949,

with some familiar names amongs t the 20 char ter members – Ron Dive, Sid Brain, Mac Law, John Spragg, Gordon Blackman, Bill Neilsen, Jack Clare and Frank McKeon.

For various reasons, the presentation Charter dinner

was not held until 20 August 1949. It started with cocktails at the Imperial Hotel, then moved to the annex of the Savoy Theatre for dinner with visiting Rotarians from eight clubs in the area.

The dinner was prepared by the CWA and, later in

the eve ning, suppe r was ser ved by a commit tee for Wendy Gardiner (now Sevil), who was an entrant in the Coonabarabran Central School’s Princess Competition.

Several gifts were presented to the club, some

of which are still in regular use – such as the gong and the bird, always useful when collecting coins.

The Rotary Club of Coonabarabran was up and running. It seems as if we have been running ever since!

In this anniversary feature, you will find examples of some of the ways the club has enriched our Coonabarabran community through its programs and projects, and, in so doing, provided its members with enjoyment and friendship.

THE SKATE PARK The building of the Coonabarabran Skate Park began in 2004, when a generous donation was given to the club by Peter Chrystal in gratitude for help he received from the club when he was injured some years previously.

The park was opened in April 2005 by Peter Chrystal and Amanda Burton, Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, who took the first of ficial skate ride in front of Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor Peter Shinton, Rotary president Jo Wilkin,and a large crowd.

BOOK SHOP + BBQS

Mal Unicomb, Robert Cox and John Sawyer – experts on the Rotary barbecue.

Two of the ways we raise money and give valuable service to the community is through our Rotary Book Shop in Cassilis Street, and using our barbecue trailer at public functions.

We have a fabulous band of volunteers who help with the book-shop roster every week, sorting and maintaining the extensive collection.

Everyone seems to appreciate the occasional s a u s a g e i n a ro l l , s t e a k sandwich or egg and bacon roll, which are the hallmarks of our barbecue menu. However, if you want to see what we can really produce on a plate, come to the Equestrian Expo and enjoy a feast!

A Coonabarabran Odyssey The Dark Sky Awakens Festival was a blast from the past, as the 2024 event reignited to bring tourists and quirky events to town.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The answer to life, the universe and everything may just be 42, however, the answer to a sci-fi haven was the Dark Sky Awakens Festival, held in Coonabarabran on Saturday, 4 May. From a robotics workshop to a Van Morrison tribute band, the festival had something people of all ages could enjoy.

Although it was overcast, many locals enjoyed a day out with an underlying sci-fi theme.

Coo naba rab ra n Ba ke r y had Star Wars themed cakes fo r sale, Fl i x i n the Sti x ran popular science-fiction films over the weekend. and even Chewbacca entertained on the bagpipes.

The weekend kicked off on Friday evening when Chewbacca and two Stor m Troopers entered the Coonabarabran Bowling Club for a Jack Attack.

Unfortunately, low numbers meant the event could not go ahead, however, those at the

Bow lo managed to g rab a few photos of the cosplayers in action.

As ‘May the Fourth’ dawned, a robotics workshop was held the next morning at Coonabarabran High School, where participants were shown how to build and program a robot from Lego.

The workshop was also a fundraiser for the school’s robotics team, and their robot ‘Gregory’, who compete in competitions throughout the year.

Due to the inclement weather th e so l a r s ta r v i ew i n g wa s cancelled, however, astronomer Blake Estes led the opening of the ‘Capture the Cosmos’ art exhibition at SPACE gallery.

It had been a few years since the Capture the Cosmos was held and the reopening of the exhibition was popular amongst attendees.

Ar tists from across the world were showcased in the exhibition, across a number of categories.

2 3 5 7 d eve l o p m e n t c o ordinator Vivian Evans said

attendees were amazed at t h e i nt r i ca c i e s i nvo l ve d i n photographing the night sky.

Vivian and volunteers from the 2357 Development Group supported the Dark Sky Awakens sub-committee, run by original organisers of the festival, Dave Hunter and Steve Turner.

Warrumbungle Shire Council also supported the festival with marketing, while the Imperial Hotel was host to the main event on Saturday evening. ‘ Va n T h e M a n’ w a s s e t down as a ticketed dinner and show and a handful of keen attendees dressed in their best sci-fi costumes.

George Carter assumed the role of Arthur Dent from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy fame, even 3D printing parts of his costume including the Hitchhikers Handbook and the Babble Fish.

He managed to deconstruct an old phone and found a way to make the 3D model come to life, while his partner, Ngaire Stevens, went all out in Ewok

gear from Star Wars.

Mrs Evans said the atmosphere at Van The Man was a buz z and the event wrapped up the weekend with a good boogie, food and drinks.

“It was a great collaboration of co m m u n i t y g ro u p s a n d different people br inging it together. It’s nice to see how community engaged to reignite the Dark Sky Awakens Festival,” Mrs Evans said.

“It’s sits right where sci-fi meets the dark sky – a different and fun angle for the dark sky and astronomy connection Coona has.

“There is momentum for next year. This festival could be as big as the Elvis festival. You never know.”

T he fes t i va l com m it tee overcame financial challenges, venue changes and rain, but everyone who attended said they had a blast.

For now, Chewbacca and the rest of the team can rest in hiding until next year when the force is needed.

Local firefighter recognised for outstanding achievement The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) has honoured more than 50 volunteers, staff and teams for their courage and exceptional service while protecting communities throughout the state.

R F S C om m i s s ioner R o b Rogers presented the awards, including seven Commissioner’s Commendations for Bravery, at the annual St Florian’s Day ceremony, held at the RFS State Training Academy at Dubbo on Saturday, 4 May. Binnaway RFS volunteer, Group Captain John McDonald, was awarded the Commendation for Bravery for his leadership, courage and swift efforts as one of the first responders to a fire in a block of units.

On the night of 10 October 2023, the Castlereagh District was noti f ied of a repor ted structure fire at a block of housing flats in Binnaway.

RFS brigades, as well as Fire and Rescue NSW, responded with Mr McDonald responding in his group vehicle.

Upon arrival, Mr McDonald assessed the scene and found significant fire in four of the six housing flats.

After being informed that an occupant was still inside one of the flats, Mr McDonald used a garden chair to rescue the remaining occupant, an elderly man in poor health and disoriented.

Mr McDonald did this while taking control of the incident, assisti ng w ith ef for ts t o extinguish the fire and waiting for additional appliances and the district on-call officer to

arrive on scene.

The incident was attended by the Binnaway, Queensborough, Gamble Creek, Weetaliba and B oyben Br igades, together with Coonabarabran Fire and Rescue.

Held on 4 May each year, the St Florian’s Day award ceremony ma rks the Feast Day of the Patron Saint of Firefighters, St Florian, and International Firefighters Day. M i n i st er for E mer genc y Services Jihad Dib praised all recipients for their outstanding efforts.

“I am incredibly proud of our RFS volunteers and staff who answer the call, day after day, to serve and protect communities,” Mr Dib said. “ They do their work quietly and without want of praise but it is i mpor t a nt that t o d ay they a r e recog n ised for going above and beyond in their duties. “ This day is especially poignant for families of f i r e f i g ht er s who have lost thei r lives over the past 12 months.”

Parish bids farewell WORD for WORD to Sister Madeline

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quickfire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?”

And so the chain continues...

Do you have a nickname? My dad calls me Kal, which I do not like, and my friends call me Kay, or Sparks.

H o w d i d yo u co m e t o l i ve i n Co o n a b a ra b ra n?

Zach, my partner, has a family connection here and they l ive in Cooinda.

We al so loved the p rox i mit y to the national park and housing is affordable. Coonabarabran is really self sufficient and everything you need is here.

Where would people recognise your face? I have joined a few groups. I recently joined Landcare and have been a part of the gospel choir since I moved here. I am also a part of 2357 and Community Garden meet ups.

Hopefully, I will be on the committee when it comes together.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A pop princess like Britney Spears, which is very different to where I ended up. I would write how I would be a famous singer in my diary. I still like to sing, but it won’t be my occupation.

What ’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? In my previous job, I worked for an architect on the Central Coast named David Boyle.

We did residential houses in Sydney.

It was an amazing learning curve.

I learnt how to design and craft living spaces that are very beautiful and let the light in. I learnt how to construct a lovely, but neutral space.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? It would be a cup of tea in the garden, with a cat on my lap.

How would your friends and family d e s c r i b e yo u i n t h r e e wo r d s?

Enthusiastic, energetic and empathic.

What are your favourite places to visit on a road trip? Somewhere with a waterfall is very good. I am always on the look out for big trees I can hug, and a good stop off with good coffee and a good pie. Merriwa is a good stop off for that.

I f you h a d a n a n i m a l o r p l a n t rena m ed i n you r honou r, wha t would you want to carry your name?

Probab l y a hug e t ree – a new species of tree.

What’s one totally irrational fear that you have? Heights. If ever get close to the edge I get a bit wobbly. I get a bit of vertigo.

Do you have a favourite community event o r g roup? Probab l y the community garden meet ups on the third Sunday of every month.

Great group of people, dreaming of a community garden, and there are always plants and seedlings for

sale. You will always go home with something and it is great to connect and chat.

Best thing about living in Coonabarabran? I would say the community. The people here are ver y welcoming and there is an energy of volunteering and getting things done. There is a lot of potential to build things together. People are very present here. The vegetation is really different from the coast too and the amount of birds is so amazing.

If you could have any superpower what would it be? Make it rain when I want too.

Have you read any good books or watched any good movies lately? I recently got back from a trip in India and I am now reading a book about Ghandi. It is really interesting to learn how India decolonised and their fight for independence from Britain, through non violence.

What are the top three items on your bucket list? The Great Barrier Reef, Uluru and I really want to the Capes Walk down in Tassie – and I want to go to NZ. There is a lot on the bucket list – mostly travelling and exploring.

Do you have a hidden talent? Or what is something people might not know about you? I like to crazy dance around my house. I do like to bust a move when the opportunity presents itself.

If you could pick a decade to visit in a time machine, what would it be?

Probably the 1920s, at the height on art deco. I would love to see the women in the flapper dresses and men in their tails. Watch people building all those beautiful buildings.

1920’s Paris would be great to visit.

If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be and what would you cook them? All of my friends. I have moved around a bit, so I have met many friends I have had to say goodbye to. I would have them all in the backyard, with a fire, and I would serve them a lot of salads and cook my Nona’s recipe for spaghetti and meatballs.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? Reflecting on our trip to India. My brother, on the last night of the wedding, got up and stole the microphone off the DJ and started singing ‘Horses’, by Darryl Braithwaite.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Work smart, not hard – and keep your curiosity about the world, the idea of wonder and the potential of things. I try to find joy in every day.

Sr Madeline Breen’s recent return to Bathurst marked the end of 136 years of faithful service by the Sisters of St Joseph to the parish of St Lawrence’s and broader Coonabarabran community. Their devotion to the education of young people and service to others has left a profound legacy.

T he Sisters of St Joseph’s devotion to the education of young people and service to others has left a profound legacy.

And so, it was with both sadness and immense gratitude that the St Lawrence’s parish and community said “thank you and farewell” to Sr M adel i ne a nd t o the Sisters of St Joseph on Sunday, 14 April.

The day commenced with a beautiful mass celebrated by Fr Francis Muhenda, into which Sr Madeline had put considerable planning t o ensu re that the liturg y honoured the history and service of the Josephite mission in Coonabarabran.

A f t er t he m a s s , a luncheon was shared in the Josephite Hall, which proved a wonder f u l o pp o r t u n it y f o r t h e sharing of memories, much laughter and the shedding of a few tears.

T he d ay wa s m ade particularly special as Sisters Helen Sullivan, M a r i a S u l l iva n a nd Maureen Sanderson, all local women, were able to attend, as were Sisters Kerrie Cuzack, Jo Brady and Antoinette Baldwin from the NSW Josephite Leadership Team.

K at e Hu g he s (ne e G ow) a l s o t r ave l le d from Sydney with her daughters, M ille and Lucie, to attend the day, Kate being a great niece of Mary Morrisey, the first border in the 1888 convent and who later entered the convent and became Mother General of t he S i s t er s of S t Jospeh.

Sr Ker r ie Cuzack presented the par ish with a portrait of F r Julian Tenison Woods and St Mary MacKillop as a memento of the Joseph ite mission in C oonaba rabra n. On behal f of the par ish, Lois Sutton presented Sr Kerrie with a plaque recognising the fidelity

and incredible legacy of the Josephite Sisters.

Embodying the Josephite cha r ism of ser v ice t o others, Sr Madeline touched the l ives of many people

du r i ng her time i n C o on aba rabra n . T he parish and wider c ommu n ity w ishes her well in this next phase of her life and is tha n k f u l for the

incredible contribution o f t he S i s t er s o f S t Joseph, to education, St Lawrence’s parish and the community, over the past 136 years.

CWA urges input into crime inquiry Escalating crime figures for regional NSW have fuelled the push by the largest women’s association in Australia to have a say into a state inquiry into the crisis.

by LIZ CUTTS The CWA of NSW has welcomed the NSW Government’s announcement of a new inquiry into community safety in regional and rural communities and is asking members and communities to have their say.

The inquiry by the NSW Legislative Assembly’s Committee

on Law and Safety, which was launched on 20 March, is seeking direct input from regional communities and their representatives.

The CWA is preparing a submission for the inquiry by seeking input from members and is appealing to everyone to do the same.

“We are asking members and their communities to

CWA of NSW state president, Joy Beames is urging everyone to make a submission to the rural crime inquiry.

participate in a brief online survey,” said CWA state president, Joy Beams “This survey provides an opportunity to share personal and collective experiences, impacts, and ideas for enhancing community safety. The survey is anonymous, and any data included in the submission will be anonymised.”

In November 2023, the CWA state executive unanimously voted to advocate the NSW Government for a Parliamentary Inquiry into regional crime, prompted by data from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR).

BOSCAR said in 2023, the rate of property crime was about 60 per cent higher in the regions compared to Sydney, while for violent crime it was 57 per cent higher.

In some of the western areas of NSW, the rates for those same offences were at least double the state average.

Mrs Beams said the evidence from BOCSAR underscores the urgent need for a thorough review.

“The figures from BOSCAR are truly

alarming and show with great clarity the anxiety and fear in many regional communities, right across our state,” she added.

“This inquiry aims to delve into the causes of crime in the regions and explore actions the NSW Government can take to enhance community safety. To do this successfully, the committee seeks direct input from regional communities and their representatives.

“Participation in the CWA survey is crucial in helping us understand the unique challenges and concerns related to rural, regional, and remote crime faced by individuals and families in our communities.

“I encourage all rural residents, particularly those who have been impacted by crime, to tell their stories by lodging a submission.”

Submissions to the CWA online survey must be received by 12 May so that the responses can be incorporated into the association’s submission.

Alternatively, the inquiry is accepting public submissions until 31 May 2024.

OBITUARY: Elizabeth Elaine Niddrie (1942-2024) A well-known, former resident of Coonabarabran, Elizabeth Elaine Niddrie (nee Leslie), passed away peacefully at her home at Middle Brother NSW on 27 February 2024.

Elizabeth, commonly known as Betty, was born in Coonabarabran on Friday, 14 August 19 4 2 . She was the s e c o nd d au g ht e r o f Thomas Stanley and Eliza Jane Leslie. Betty had seven brothers, L ew i s (de c e a s e d ), Ma lcolm (deceased), Bill (deceased), Edgar (deceased), Noel, and

Nor ma n (de c e a sed ).

She also had one sister, Pat r ic i a (de ceased).

B et t y a l s o h ad t wo nieces who were raised by her mother, Eliza – Patricia and Elaine (deceased) Betty loved going to school. She attended t he C o on a b a r a br a n Primary School and completed Coonabarabran High S chool with an Intermediate Certificate. She wanted to continue high school and obtain the Leaving Certificate. She particularly wanted to do Business Principals

s o she c ou ld obt a i n a cler ica l position when she left school.

However, her teachers advised her that they thought she d id not have the ability to go on to obtain the Leaving Certificate and that she would have to repeat 4th and 5th years, but this did not appeal to Betty.

However, she proved the t eachers wrong. As a matureaged student , B etty successfully completed an Associate Diploma in Aboriginal Studies at the Un iversity of New England,

A rmida le NSW. She also graduated with a Diploma in Community Management at Macquarie University.

B etty sat for a n entrance examination to join the Postmaster General’s Department and although she passed the exam, she had to wait two years before she obtained a position as a telephonist at the Coonabarabran Telephone Exchange, and was the only Koori girl working there at the time.

She later transferred t o S y d n e y, t a k i n g up a position as a

t elephon i st at Da l ly Street Telephone Exchange.

It was in Sydney that she met Edward Henry (Ted) Niddrie, who later became her husband.

They had two children, Deborah and Noel.

They moved to Cambridge Park, in the Penrith area, to live and both joined the Penrith L eag ues Club as li fe members. Betty loved rugby league and was a fanatical supporter of the Penrith Panthers.

Later, they moved to Laurieton to live. Betty was always interested in Aboriginal affairs.

She became a mentor to Aboriginal students at the local schools. The students loved her and called her “Aunty”.

Her contribution to education and support of the Aboriginal students was acknowledged by the Aborig inal Education Consultative Group ( A EC G) who asked if they could send a floral arrangement to the family on Betty’s passing.

B etty ma i nta i ned her c on ne c t ion w it h

Coonabarabran.

S he m ade nu mer ou s visits over the years, particularly when her parents were alive. She continued her visits over the yea rs t o see her siblings and fr iends.

B etty was a member of the Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land Council.

B e t t y, a pr o ud Gomeroi woman, was r et u r ned t o her Grandmother’s country for a graveside service and interment at the Native Grove Cemetery, Coonabarabran, where she was l a id t o r est alongside her beloved “ Ted”. T he g raveside service was conducted

by Tony Brain, a friend of the Leslie family for many years.

Betty was survived by her brother Noel, niece Patricia, daughter Deborah, son Noel, son-in-law Terr y a nd d aught er -i n-l aw Ju ne, as wel l as si x grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

WEATHER WATCH Adelaide has completed its driest February to April period since 1923 and the fourth driest such period in records going right back to 1839.

The total rainfall for February to April this year was just 15mms, the driest since 3.1mms in 1923 and the fourth driest behind 13mms in 1870 and 9.7mms in 1888.

The event of 1870 followed a wet January in our region and then a notably hotter and drier February-to-March period before significant rainfall during April in 1870.

This is precisely what has happened this year to date, and as the rest of 1870 was notably wetter than average from Tasmania to well into Queensland – and it does look certain that 2024 will follow suit.

April was notably colder than usual over most of the Northern Territory. At Daly Waters, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs, temperatures were well down on the April normals.

The past records at these three towns show there were notably cold Aprils in 1892, 1911, 1924, 1949, 1971, 1983, and 2011. All these episodes set up a wetterthan-average period for the second half of the year in our region.

During the last few days a very strong high pressure of central pressure 1042mbs moved over Tasmania, while a low-pressure trough deepened over central NSW, bringing variable 8 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 9 May 2024

rainfalls.

The heaviest rainfalls to Saturday morning, 4 May, were 66mms at Hillston and 51mms at Cobar.

The 66mms at Hillston was the town’s wettestever May day in 143 years of records; the previous wettest being 64mms on 4 May 2000.

Hillston’s 66mms was very isolated. The town is located in the northern part of the Riverina and nearly all of the Riverina has been very dry, with no significant rainfall recorded since the second week of April and none likely before the fourth week of May. Cobar’s 51mms was the wettest May day there since 59.4mms on 3 May 2000.

The deepening lowpressure trough brought heavy-to-flood rainfalls along part of the NSW coast, south from near Sydney to Nowra.

At Jervis Bay, the heaviest rainfall to Sunday morning, 5 May, was 154.8mms. This was its wettest May day in 125 years of records – the previous being 146.8mms in 1913 and 134.4mms in 2003.

The very strong highpressure system is currently just east of Tasmania and another strong high pressure west of Tasmania are amalgamating, with this system bringing mainly easterly winds to our region. A new inland trough looks like forming towards the next weekend, with patchy rainfalls, although heavier rains are likely again near Sydney.

IN FOCUS: MOTHER’S DAY

Leading with a mother’s lo♥e Mum’s play a pivotal role in society and Mother’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate their sacrifices and achievements.

by GEORGIA SPENCE In a world full of complex challenges and constant change, the significance of a mother, or a motherly role model, is no easy task.

To care for a child is a full-time job and a survey commissioned by Welch’s Fruit Juice in the United States has confirmed this.

This survey found the time mothers spent on parentrelated tasks was equivalent to two-and-a-half fulltime jobs...or 98 hours per week!

The survey consisted of 2000 mothers of children aged five to 12, and revealed the average mother began her day at 6.23am, with motherly duties continuing until 8.31pm.

Mums can be on their feet for up to 14 hours a day and appear to magically balance their work and family life duties.

Beautiful chaos One woman who embodies the “beautiful chaos” of motherhood is swim club coach, child and family health nurse, church leadership member and P&C volunteer, Jen Staniforth.

Mrs Staniforth is a mother of six, with her children aged from three to 17.

She said it was a privilege to care for her kids and an honour to witness and aid in their growth.

Mrs Staniforth was inspired by her own mother, and mother-in-law, Barbara Staniforth, who both play a large supporting role in her children’s lives – serving as examples on how she could create a nurturing environment for her children to express themselves freely.

Being able to juggle all the activities may seem like a superpower, however, Mrs Staniforth keeps herself and her children grounded with the simple phrase, “I am human”.

“It’s impor tant to remember – if we expect perfection of ourselves as mothers, our children will expect themselves to perfect. A perfect person doesn’t exist,” Mrs Staniforth said.

“I embrace the ‘good enough’ parenting style – when we have the ability to look at ourselves at the end of a day and acknowledge what was tough and

still say, ‘I did good overall’.

“I also think it is important to say it takes a village to raise a child. To have someone impart similar values and advice from an outside source can create a richer experience for different reasons.”

Mrs Staniforth actively encourages her children to find mentors and also relies on their four grandparents and her husband to play a role in the child's development.

She will celebrate Mother’s Day with her family, who often create home-made wares such as cards, collect feathers, pebbles and flowers – often picked from the garden.

It is their tradition to have lunch on Mother’s Day with Barbra Staniforth, who will also be celebrated on the day.

Strong girls Mum of three, Carlie Watton, also navigates the realms of leisure, work and home life.

Mrs Watton teaches Physical Culture and also volunteers her time on the Unicorns rugby league football committee.

Although she can find it difficult to balance all the responsibilities, she makes sure to switch off all the noise at home and remain present for her kids.

“I hope I can raise three strong girls. I hope they do exactly what they want to do in life and not be influenced by anyone, or distracted by anything other than what they want do,” Mrs Watton said.

“Being a mother is an absolute privilege. It is so exciting to watch mini versions of you grow up and see the characteristics they come out with.

“That is why if you are someone who feels stretched too thin, just pick the least important activity and drop it.”

Mrs Watton usually starts Mother’s Day off with a home-cooked breakfast from the kids and a lunch out at a cafe.

She said it felt good to keep the positive vibes going throughout the day.

Being a mum, or a motherly figure can be tough, however, in the eyes of a child, no one could do it better.

Emily, Bella, Rachel, David, Samuel and Rebecca Staniforth will be showering their amazing mother, Jen, with extra love this Sunday.

YOUR SAY: How will you celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday?

Sage Magee: I usually give my mum a poem, help her at work, make her dinner and give her flowers.

Fran Harvey: I spend the day with my son who takes me out to breakfast and then we go to Bunnings. We are hooked on Bunnings.

9 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 9 May 2024

April and India Rosewarne: We’ll be hungover after celebrating India’s 18th.

Jenny Glover: There are 23 of us girls from the Imperial who will be going out to Tooraweenah Pub. Tony is driving us. We can get a bit wild.

Georgia and Dee Woodward: I’ll be sleeping in and my daughter, Georgia will be at work.

We will also go to dinner with the family at Raymond’s (Golden Sea Dragon).

Larissa Wilkin: I spend the day with my children who treat me with tea, breakfast in bed and gifts from the Mother’s Day stall at school. And this year I am going to a cheese making course with my mum.

VIEW CLUB NEWS This month’s Coonabarabran VIEW Club meeting was another success, with food and fun enjoyed by the 20 members in attendance.

Plans for our birthday fund-raiser next month are well in hand. Each member will bring a “dish” and we pay our usual dinner fee, which is a great and easy way to raise funds for our four Learning for Life students.

Bev Rayner and Lynne Abbott again presented a cheque for our Driver Reviver shifts during the last school holidays.

Bev and Lynne also organised two skits for our entertainment.

Sherree outlined the costs involved for our students, two of whom are in high school and two in primary. It is so rewarding to read their letters and know that our help allows them to learn and grow towards a successful future.

Many thanks to Penny Hawkless who has taken on the treasurer’s position for our club.

Volunteers gear up for Coonamble Rodeo With one of the biggest shows in the Western Plains less than two months away, organisers of the Coonamble Rodeo and Campdraft are looking to push crowd numbers further than ever.

“ We do it b e c au s e we love doing it,” said Coonamble Rodeo president, Paul Wheelhouse, who heads the volunteer committee that manage the whole event.

“Every year we try to improve it and make it a better show.”

Mr W heelhouse e x p e c t s up t o 4 0 0 0 spectators and competitors in C o o n a m bl e b e t we e n 7-10 June, more than d ou bl i n g t he t ow n’s population over three days.

Over 10 0 0 cowboys and cowgirls will enter t he r o de o a nd c a mp draft, with prize dollars stretching into the tens of thousands.

“We pay out in excess o f $ 9 0 , 0 0 0 i n pr i z e m o n e y,” s a i d R o d e o secretary, Steve Butler.

“A competitor in the rodeo could win between five and six thousand dollars in an event!”

There will be no lack of action over the weekend, as r iders st eel thei r nerves for roughstock

events including steer wrestling, calf roping and, of course, the bronc and bull riding, where contestants have to stay on the beasts for eight seconds with one hand in the air.

Show-goers seeking a l ittle less physica l contact will have the campdraft events starting from lunchtime on the Friday.

That’s where riders have to separate a steer or heifer from a yard with six to eight cattle.

The rider then has to steer the beast out of the yard into a larger arena, where they drive it around the course, roughly in the shape of a three-leaf clover.

The campdraft finals will be contested on the Monday – the event’s final day.

C a mpd r a f t er s a nd rodeo competitors will c onver g e f r om r i g ht up and down eastern Australia. “ M o s t c omp et it or s are coming in from the eastern seaboard; you might get an odd one

that c omes f r om the west,” Mr Butler said. “ Nov ice events are growing, which is a good thing for the industry.

It means that there’s young cowboys coming on.”

For the second year in a row, spectators will be able to walk across the Castlereagh Highway to the showground directly from the camping area opposite, which is expected to host around 1000 spectators.

Mr Wheelhouse said h av i n g t he c a mpi n g g round will allow g r e at e r nu m b e r s o f visitors to Coonamble, as accommodation was often booked out well in advance for the town’s signature event. “ This rodeo’s gotten that big now, there was nowher e t o c a mp i n town,” he said.

“The ground has just opened up so much more room. “ Pe ople j u s t wa nt to be somewhere safe and camp, and it’s such a go od a rea be cause they’ve only got to walk

across.”

The ground will be spl it by a fence i nt o two areas, one for the younger ‘party’ crowd, the other for family-type spectators.

The ground will have t wo se c u r it y g u a rd s operating at the site, as well as mobile lighting towers and toilet facilities.

“It’s a lot of work just to get it all ready. Some p e ople t h i n k it ju s t happens in three days, but it happens months and months before that just getting things all in place,” Mr Wheelhouse said.

The use of the paddock has the support o f C o on a mble S h i r e C ou nci l, wh ich M r Butler said has provided the area mapping and traffic management of the highway near the ground.

Entr y fee is $2 0 , available at the gate off River Road, or book online at 123 Tix.

Volunteers Paul Wheelhouse and Steve Butler are busy organising the 2024 Coonamble Rodeo and Campdraft weekend.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Warrumbungle Children’s Services

Coonabarabran Public As the autumn colours strengthen across the pl ay g r o u n d , w e a r e d igg i ng deeply i n t o our learning and extracurricular activities.

Many boys headed off to Tamworth last week for the rugby league try outs. There were many great plays on the day by our boys.

We were lucky enough t o h ave A d a m , f r om A rmed for Life, come to the school and give coaching sessions about how to deal with things t h at ma ke u s a ng r y or upset. Chatting to Anika, Maddy, Zara and Lucy who attended the stage three session, they explained the strategies he taught them to deal with bullying and how t o b e mor e r e si l ient when things go wrong.

They learned about a stress scale that puts our worries on a rating from 1-10, where 1 is dropping your drink bottle and 10 losing a life, and that everything needed the correct level of reaction.

Adam explained that deep breaths and talking to a trusted adult are good ways to overcome anxiety. He taught us to play a game called ‘Levelling up’. where you

start as an egg and find another egg with which to play scissors, paper, rock – the winner then turns into a dinosaur, elephant, monkey and finally, an eagle is the overall winner.

A d a m m a i nt a i n e d the importance of not back ing down, but dealing with problems, not pushing them away a s t he y w i l l bu b ble back up. R eacting or

responding is a vitally important difference to make.

The girls and everyone who attended agreed it was a very worthwhile experience.

The same week saw the running of our crosscountry race. Although it h a s t r ad it i o n a l ly been held on the C o on aba r abr a n G ol f Course, it was decided that the racecourse might

prove a better vantage point for observers and competitors.

Despite a fresh breeze, almost every student who turned eight years o f a g e r a n t he t wo kilometre distance or th r e e k i lomet r es for students 11,12 and 13 years of age.

T h e r e w e r e m a ny stars on the day, and we wish all those going to zone good luck.

their own boat and used material for the water, as they talked about fish sizes and snags.

This experience shows how the children a re not just play i ng, but are learning about

thei r env i ronment , c om mu n it y, a nd t he importance of keeping their waterways healthy.

The Carp Muster, a reallife event, was woven into their world through the power of imagination.

Tooraweenah Public Jagah Kershaw, served by Tracy McHugh and Nic Hadfield who provided a sausage sizzle to accompany the Armed for Life sessions held on resilience and coping strategies.

Coonabarabran High Coonabarabran High School has been bustling with athletic energy, hosting its annual athletics carnival on 9-10 April, followed by the cross country event on 1 M ay. T hese events allowed all our students to excel in their chosen fields with impressive p er for m a nc e s ac r o s s various disciplines.

At the ath letics carnival, a special round of applause was reserved for Darcy Strong, who clinched the 2024 Gift title. Close on his heels were Charlie Baker and Isaac Menz, finishing second and third,

Yaama maliyaa!

In the 3-5 years room at Yuluwirri Kids, the children were observed involving themselves in dramatic play involving a fishing competition. This led to many fishing rods being made from craft items such as straws, padd lepop sticks and string.

T he child ren all designed their own rods a nd practised thei r scissor skills as they cut sticky tape and attached the various parts to their rods which were all very unique and imaginative.

T hen t he c h i ld r en began to discuss lures and created their own using various beads.

Encouraged by t hei r e duc at or s , t he children were excited to share their stories from the Carp Muster held recently, and how removing the greedy fish keeps the river water healthy.

The educators extended on the children’s play by providing pictures of carp as the children made

respectively.

T he event was not just about indiv idual brilliance – Mopra House won the overall carnival.

A standout moment of the carnival was when Sarah Whittall hurled the javelin to a recordbrea k i ng d ista nce of 2 3 .6 4 met r e s i n t he 15-years category, setting a new school record and earning her widespread acclaim.

abundance of talent and determination from our young athletes.

A ma r n i T hompson, B ond Jone s , L i l l i a n Hunter, Charlie Wilson, Br o ok ly n Hu nt er, Mathew Evans, Monique B owma ker, Ja mes Karavas, Shakira Parker, Nate Hartberg, Emily Larkin, Jacob Baker and Tristan Nielson emerged as their respective age champions, showcasing the depth of talent at our school.

A particularly proud moment for us was when Nandi House was awarded the David Tighe trophy, a prestigious honour named

in honour of David Tighe’s success as a former CHS Cross Country champion.

This trophy, a symbol of excellence and effort, ref lects the champion spirit of our cross country house – Nandi.

These events not only celebrate the athletic prowess of the students, but also help foster a sense of community and school spirit, making them a cherished part of the a n nua l scho ol calendar.

Congratulations to all the students for their remarkable achievements and to the school for nurturing such talent.

We are very excited to be back at school for term two and are looking forward to a productive term.

On the calendar for the term we have some new experiences planned, with Taekwondo coaching scheduled over six weeks, and a Teddy Bear’s Picnic planned at the Warrumbungle Education Centre for our younger students towards the end of term.

We h ave a new technolog y kit for students to explore with Petria on Fridays, and ou r cl a s sr o oms h ave been buzzing with new learning during English and maths using explicit instruction.

ANZAC Day It was wonderful to have so many families able to join us on ANZAC Day for the service and march to the Kookaburra

Memorial at the Tooraweenah Park.

The school and P reschool students presented the song “A N Z AC Biscuits” by CJ Shaw, at the ANZAC Day ser v ice. Hamish and Eloise Jenkin laid the wreath on behalf of the school at the hall.

Hamish and Bonnie then led the march behind the school banner. The teachers were very proud of the way the students conducted themselves a nd the respect they showed to honour our service men and women.

PBL celebration Students enjoyed a whole school celebration o n F r id ay, 1 2 A pr i l (last day of school) for their Positive Behaviour for L ea rning ( PBL) celebration. The bikes and scooters were a hit, with students proving thei r endu ra nc e a nd

fitness throughout many long sessions of riding during the day. A great day was had by all!

Under 6s revel in the mud

Friday, 10th May $3200 The Coonabarabran Junior Rugby League under 6s played well in Walgett on the weekend in muddy conditions – which they loved! The players are gaining more and more confidence from each training session and games and are full of enthusiasm! They are awesome to watch and coach it is so much fun seeing them get so excited about getting a tag or almost getting a tag or try. It is all fun and high fives in the 6s!

Unicorns rack up another win The Coonabarabran Unicorns first-grade side came away with its second win in the Castlereagh League competition on Saturday, after travelling to Baradine for a local derby against the Magpies.

I n a to u g h , h a rd fought match, the Unicorns came away w i t h t h e p o i nt s , 12 6, while in the ladies league tag, Baradine dominated with a 62-0 win.

The Cobar Roosters, despite having to face another long trip home f rom Gu l g ong’s B i l l y Dunn Oval, would have been well pleased with thei r additional luggage on the return journey – that luggage being the Boronia Challenge Cup, which came into their pos ses sion fo l l ow i ng thei r 3 0 poi nts to 12 defeat of the Gulgong Terriers.

The visitors handed the Terriers, the reigning Castlereagh premiers, their first loss since 2022, and in doing so have reinforced the notion of many that the Roosters are the early season favourites for the 2024 premiership honours.

The Chookies sit on top of the competition ladder on si x points, along with the other two undefeated sides, the Coonaba rab ran Unicorns and the Coo lah ‘Roos, w ho both registered wins on Saturday.

In both games, the winners were the visiting side and had to fight ha rd to come a way with the competition points, the Coolah ‘Roos continuing their impressive start to the season with a 14-6 win over the Coonamble Bears.

In the other game, t h e N a r r o m i n e J et s hosted the Gilgandra Pa nt h e r s , w i t h b ot h teams coming off big l os ses i n round o ne.

However, it was to be the Jets who prevailed in a see-sawing game t h at sa w t h e s co res locked together o n th ree occa s i o n s, winning 32 to 22 after the Panthers had led 1812 fifteen minutes into the second half.

Turning to round three of t h e co m p et i t i o n , Cobar’s first defence of the Boronia Cup will be against the young and enthusiastic Baradine Magpies who, while winless at this early stage of the competition, have lost both their games by a combined total of just 10 points, and no doubt they would like nothing better than to knock the Roosters off their home perch.

Cobar would be ill advised to take them

lightly.

Match of the round status has been confe r red on the Coolah ve r sus Coonabarabran game to be played at Coolah, where both sides will be very keen to finish t h e 8 0 m i n utes w i t h their unbeaten record intact. Should make for interesting viewing, with a big crowd expected to witness the action at what has been a happy hunting ground for the ‘Roos thus far this year.

The Narromine Jets will be covering a bit of ground this Saturday, firstly when their youth league and league tag sides head to ‘The Crate r’ at Bi nnaway to match it w ith the Bombshells. Those games are scheduled to kick off at 10.00am, which will then allow the Jets’ faithful time to get to Coonamble to watch their first-grade side play the Bears in what is a crucial game for both teams.

Coonamble will host Dunedoo in league tag prior to the first-grade game.

The final game will see the Gilgandra Panthers tr ying to b reak thei r season duck against the visiting Gulgong Terriers in Gilgandra.

COONA’S SIGNATURE YOUTH PROGRAMS: RYAG BEEF AND RYSTARS Our club is well known across the state for initiating two outstanding programs for teenagers.

The f irs t of these was R YA G ( R o t a r y Yo u t h i n Agriculture) Beef. Up to 50 students each year would take part over 4-5 days in hands-on learning about the beef industry.

Then, given the unique opportunities offered by our proximity to Siding Spring, w e i n i t i a t e d R Y S TA R S – Rota r y You th Stu d ying

A s tronomy and Related Sciences.

For many years, these programs were enthusias tically provided by our club.

Changes to insurance and c hild - p rote c tio n polic ies have made it dif f icult to sustain programs such as these, and we need to look at other ways to provide safe, s ti m u la ti n g a n d exc i ti n g o p p o r tu n i ti e s fo r yo u n g people.

YOUTH EXCHANGE Many long and las ting friendships have been created through the Youth Exchange programs.

Our club has hosted over 40 students, most for 12 months, and selec ted ove r 4 0 s tu d e n t s to li ve in another country for 12 months (or three months in

New Zealand).

One ‘inbounder’ was Celine Queste, from France, w h o l i ve d h e r e i n 2 0 0 5.

While here, she learnt how to make items in stained glass and on returning home, she turned that into a career.

By far the biggest projec t that Rotary has undertaken was begun in 1985, when Australian International President, Clem Renouf decided that we should try to eradicate polio, a disease which causes crippling, especially in children.

In 1985 there were 350,000

cases of polio every year. By 2023 we have reduced this to just two cases.

Members donate, raise money and take par t in vaccination programs to achieve this goal, and we are very close to eradicating this disease!

FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE One of opportunities offered to members is to take part in a Friendship Exchange, two weeks travelling with a group of friends to stay in the homes of Rotarians in another country.

In 2 012, Hu g h a n d Su s a n R a a d g e v e r, Tr i s h a n d J o h n

On other occasions, members have been to India, Germany and USA/Canada.

There is no better way to learn about another country!

Children affected by polio. It is Rotary’s mission to totally eradicate this disease.

FOCUS ON YOUTH RYLA (Rotary Yo u th L e a d e r s h i p Award) is a wonderful program fo r yo u n g p e o p l e between the ages of 18 and 26. It is a residential program which aims to develop social and

leadership skills, and to cultivate personal goals.

Moree’s Phil Duncan named Australian Water Professional of the year MOREE Natural Resources Access Regulator board member Phil Duncan, of Moree, has been named the Australian Water Professional of the Year at the Oz Water 2024 gala night in Melbourne.

In accepting the award, the Gamilaroi man became emotional when speaking of his profound connection to water, which he first developed as a boy growing up along the banks of the Gwydir River.

“This incredible honour reflects my ancestors, community, family and nation,” Mr Duncan said during his acceptance speech.

Deluxe Cafe Moree under new ownership nership MARKETPLACE Katoomba has the Three Sisters.

And so does Moree, with the news local siblings Simone, Polly and Cinta Fletcher have taken over mobile coffee business Deluxe Café Moree.

The three sisters have for the past 10 weeks been training with owners, Bill and Cindy Poulos, and are now ready to take the reins.

“We are looking forward to the challenges ahead and want to keep everything the same way Bill and Cindy have been running the business for the past 16 years. It’s a formula that works, and we want to keep it that way,” Polly Fletcher said.

Deluxe Café Moree was established in 2008 and had its first day of trade on ANZAC Day that year at the Moree Show.

The original Deluxe Café and Milk Bar – a traditional Greek-style café – operated in Balo Street from the mid-1940s until 1970.

The café was owned and operated by Manuel and Gipsy Poulos,

parents and parents-in-law of Bill and Cindy Poulos.

The mobile version is purpose-built to serve coffees, snacks and cold treats at major weekend functions on a large scale.

However, it was always the previous owners’ plan to trade on a daily basis from one location.

This was established on October 9, 2008 at a disused service station site.

On March 1, 2021, Deluxe Cafe Moree relocated to 347 Frome Street, next door to the Harley Davidson dealership.

The mobile cafe is now firmly entrenched in the Moree community as one of the town’s most popular coffee hubs.

In 2011, a counter-top tip-jar was introduced with all proceeds going to Moree District Hospital.

To date, the tip-jar has raised $30,000 for the hospital’s special purpose fund.

“We will keep the tip-jar going for the hospital; it’s a great fundraiser and the people of Moree are so generous,” Ms Fletcher said.

Cindy and Bill will now step

down from the coffee machine and delivery vehicle, and pass the keys to the new owners.

“We’re a bit sad in one way, but looking forward to whatever the future may hold – we’re definitely not retiring, that’s for sure,” Mrs Poulos smiled.

“We know Deluxe Café Moree is in safe hands and we wish Polly, Simone and Cinta all the very

best.”

Deluxe Café Moree will offer the same service, same Toby’s Estate coffee, and same telephone number to call or text – and Moree residents are urged to support the three sisters in their new venture.

The mobile business will remain in the same spot Monday to Friday at Thomas Lee Can-Am & Bicycles on Frome Street.

Teen charged with property offences

Police news

A teen has been charged following an alleged attempted robbery in Moree.

Operation Regional Mongoose is a high-visibility police operation to tackle serious property-related crime committed predominately by young

offenders.

Between 3am and 4am on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, a car was allegedly broken into at a motel on Warialda Street, Moree, with a wallet, cash and car keys stolen.

A short time later, a teenage boy, allegedly armed with a knife, approached a woman outside a home on Anne Street, Moree and demanded her

car keys.

The woman ran inside and called police.

Officers attached to New England Police District attended and commenced an investigation into the incidents.

Following inquiries, about 1pm the same day, police attended a home in Moree and arrested a 17-year-old boy.

He was charged with demand

property with menaces with intent to steal, goods in personal custody suspected being stolen, and breach of bail.

The boy was refused bail and appeared at a Children’s Court on Thursday, April 25, 2024, where he was formally refused bail to appear at another Children’s Court on Monday, May 6, 2024.

Inquiries under Operation

Telecommunications boost for North West CROOBLE Inland Rail has completed its program to deliver new mobile infrastructure in its Narrabri to North Star section in the North West with the activation of a new mobile base station in Crooble, sixty kilometres northeast of Moree.

The Crooble base station activation follows the previous activation of three upgraded mobile base stations in North Star, Gurley, and Croppa Creek.

Additional infrastructure has also been upgraded further south in Mount Tenandra and Kickabil, as part of the Narromine to Narrabri project.

The new and upgraded mobile base stations, built and managed

by Telstra, enhance voice and data communications for trains and signalling equipment on the ARTC network, and have also been augmented to help mobile coverage for local homes and businesses.

Inland Rail has already invested $3.4 million in upgrades to mobile infrastructure in the Narrabri to North Star section of the project.

The works form part of the legacy the Inland Rail project will leave for communities along the alignment to benefit from the improvements for years to come.

All the new and upgraded infrastructure is fitted with 4G as well as 5G capable antennae, meaning that local homes and businesses will have improved connectivity to Telstra services.

Peter Borrelli, project director Narrabri to North Star, said

Inland Rail is thrilled to work alongside Telstra to deliver improved connectivity for the Narrabri to North Star project.

“Boosting community coverage is another great outcome for the region and the many local stakeholders we have worked closely with to deliver this important project,” he said.

“A key commitment of Inland Rail has always been to leave a positive legacy along the rail corridor and delivering improved mobile telecommunications is just one example of how residents and businesses will benefit.

“Regional communities in north west New South Wales have also received an economic boost from the project, with $244 million spent with 137 local businesses, including nearly $9 million spent with First Nations businesses. Over 2000 people worked on the project, including 678 locals.”

Mike Marom, regional general manager for Telstra in NSW, said being able to access reliable mobile connectivity is increasingly becoming an important part of people’s lives, especially in regional areas.

“This infrastructure upgrade will help deliver improved Telstra 4G and 5G coverage between Narrabri and North Star for both train services and local communities,” he said.

“We applaud Inland Rail for undertaking this major investment as it demonstrates their support for the communities they travel through, and will leave a lasting benefit for many years to come.”

Funding to strengthen communities Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton has congratulated six organisations in the Parkes electorate that have received funding under the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal’s (FRRR) Strengthening Rural Communities program.

Mr Coulton said RiverSmart Australia Limited, Coonamble Golf Club Limited and Moree Plains Shire Council have each been awarded grants under the Commonwealth-funded Rebuilding Regional Communities stream of the FRRR’s Strengthening Rural Communities grants program.

“RiverSmart Australia has received $10,000 to build a concrete coach-disembarking point and accessible pathway in Warren to increase tourism and the safety of visitors,” Mr Coulton said.

“Coonamble Golf Club will use a $9928 grant to construct a playground to enhance social cohesion and provide a safe and family-friendly place for people to gather in Coonamble.

“Moree Plains Shire Council has also been awarded a $3000 grant to facilitate Fanny Lumsden’s Country Halls Tour in the small locality of Garah which will boost the community’s morale.

“I’m pleased to see each of these organisations receive funding to deliver local initiatives that will increase community engagement and make a big difference on the ground.

“Every town is different which is why collaborating with the FRRR to support local community projects can achieve real positive outcomes, instead of relying on topdown, one-size-fits all programs out of Canberra.”

Meanwhile, Warren Chamber Music Festival Incorporated, Colly Gamilaraay Indigenous Corporation and the Arthur Butler Aviation Museum have each been awarded grants under the FRRR’s Strengthening Rural Communities – Small and Vital grants program which is funded by the community and private sector.

National poetry awards set to celebrate 40-year anniversary The Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

Originally started as a local event, the Gunnedah-based poetry awards has been operating nation-wide since 1988.

It is now recognised as Australia’s largest and oldest poetry competition for school-aged children.

Nearly 400,000 poems have been entered during 40 years of the competition.

The awards are hosted by a committee of volunteers from across the Gunnedah community.

Additional sponsorship and federal government funding has allowed for a part-time executive officer to administer the awards which includes an optional theme every year. In 1984, it was “My Country” and this year will be “Listen, I have an idea”.

The judges’ list is a veritable roll call of best-known authors, poets and publishers in Australian children’s literature. These include Rosemary Dobson, Joan Phipson, Robin Morrow, Maurie Saxby, Lorraine Marwood, Nettie Hilton, Leonie Tyle, Catherine Bateson, Sherryl Clark, Sophie Masson, Sally Murphy, Kat Apel and Meredith Costain.

Judges’ terms are renewed every two years and this year’s judges

are Karen Comer from Victoria and Western Australian poet, Rebecca Newman.

The awards are presented at a ceremony held every September.

The presentations switched to an online format with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found this virtual ceremony reached a far greater audience with a substantial cost saving and the format has been retained. The first online entries were accepted 15 years ago.

The competition has had winners as young as six years old and senior students in their final year of secondary school. There are also learning-assistance categories. Entries are all online with details at www.dorothea.com.au Winning and highly commended poems are published in an anthology every year by the Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards.

Several years ago, the committee introduced the Kurrumbede awards to encourage greater participation by local school students. Covering both primary and secondary students, the award category is open to those within a 100km radius of Gunnedah including the Tamworth, Quirindi, Coonabarabran and Narrabri communities. There is also a small schools’ award for the best overall entry from a student at a school

with an enrolment of less than 30. This is presented by a retired school inspector David Maher.

The awards are overseen by a notfor-profit organisation, the Dorothea Mackellar Memorial Society, which has received funding from Gunnedah Shire Council throughout its existence. The society leases the Mackellar Centre, the former Visitor Information Centre, in South Street, Gunnedah. It houses memorabilia from the Mackellar family, the poetry competition and a spectacular 32-watercolour collection of paintings by Jean Isherwood to the lines of the Dorothea Mackellar poem My Country.

The society has also successfully overseen the painting of the Dorothea Mackellar mural on the historic Brunton’s flour mill in Gunnedah which has quickly become a top tourist attraction in town.

The former Mackellar family homestead and its outbuildings were placed on the NSW State Heritage Register two years ago after a strong campaign by the society to ensure it was preserved and recognised. The property is now owned by Whitehaven Coal and surrounded by the Vickery coal mine. The society hosts an open day in conjunction with Whitehaven on an annual basis.

Then Member for New England Tony Windsor, DMMS committee member John Pickett, DMMS president Philippa Murray and mayor Adam Marshall welcome the restoration of federal government funding to the poetry awards in 2007.

The society also sponsors poetry writing workshops with students where possible. This month, well

known writer and illustrator Sami Bayly is visiting Gunnedah to teach local primary school children.

Three Moree veterans recognised for military service MOREE Three veterans from Moree were recognised for their military service during a special presentation ahead of Anzac Day. Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton presented certificates of appreciation to the family of Charles Leonard Johnston, Hugh Alfred Johnston and Eric George Johnston.

“Certificates of appreciation are just one way that the Australian government expresses its gratitude to those who have given so much in protecting our country’s interests and helping to restore

and maintain peace around the world,” Mr Coulton said.

“We are grateful for the dedication and sacrifice demonstrated by our veterans’ service to Australia, and it’s important to recognise this. It’s an honour to be able to present these certificates today, acknowledging the service of Charles, Hugh and Eric.

“Charles Leonard Johnston served in Tobruk, El Alamein and Crete as a Sapper in the 3 Anti Tank Regiment during World War II, from 1940 to 1945. He was awarded the Africa Star 1939 to 1945, the 8th Army Bar and the Australian Service Medal 1938 to

1945 for his service.

“Charles’ younger brother Hugh Alfred Johnston also served during the Second World War. He was a Private in the 2/2 AA Workshop and fought in the Owen Stanley Range in Papua New Guinea from 1942 to 1946.

“Hugh’s son Eric George Johnston later served as a Private in the 4th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment in Vietnam from 1970 to 1972. He was awarded the Vietnam Medal and the Returned from Active Service Badge.

“Thank you to each of these men for their sacrifice and service. Even though they are no longer with us,

it’s lovely for their families to have this memento to pass onto future generations, to remember the role they played in various conflicts.”

Varroa mite control order to be removed in state Following extensive industry consultation, the Biosecurity (Varroa Mite) Control Order (No.2) 2024 has been removed to take away any undue regulatory burdens on beekeepers.

The control order was implemented following national agreement to move the Varroa mite emergency response to a transition to management program, with the aim of slowing the spread of the pest whilst control options became freely available.

NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Chief Plant

Protection Officer, Dr Shane Hetherington said there is no longer a need for Varroa-specific regulation over and above existing bee biosecurity responsibilities.

“This type of regulation is only warranted where there remains a significant risk to production or market failure to NSW beekeepers.

We are confident that is no longer the case,” Dr Hetherington said.

“The Commonwealth advises that maintaining notification requirements for Varroa mite in NSW is sufficient to support trade in live bees, therefore, there is no

risk of international market failure.

NSW will maintain the requirement to notify the presence of Varroa and to control Varroa through the existing provisions of the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015 but remove other restrictions.

“This includes the zoning and subsequent movement restrictions in full, although beekeepers are still required to be compliant with the Australian Honey Bee Industry Biosecurity Code of Practice (the Code) and the General Biosecurity Duty under the Act which requires beekeepers to

prevent, eliminate or minimise risks caused by Varroa.

“The continued reporting of results from hive monitoring by beekeepers is key to understanding where the mite is currently active.”

Due to the efforts of DPI, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), Australian Honey Bee Industry Council and Varroa control manufacturers and suppliers, there is now a sufficient commercial supply of conventional and organic control options within Australia, and there are easily accessible

pathways for direct import of these products.

Further options are currently subject to approval by the APVMA. “NSW considers at this stage continuing to maintain a restricted set of approved treatments, treatment time frames and mite thresholds creates an inflexible and complicated regulatory regime for beekeepers which is counterproductive to the aims of the T2M program, stifles innovation and may lead to ineffective mite control and detrimental outcomes for bee health,” Dr Hetherington said.

Farmland prices to grow at slower pace, outlook finds Australian farmland prices are set for further growth in the year ahead – but at a slowing pace – Rabobank says in its just-released annual Australian Farmland Price Outlook.

The global agribusiness banking specialist says after three consecutive years of “double-digit” growth, the momentum in agricultural land price increases is expected to further slow in 2024, as farm profitability levels come off record highs.

And the price outlook is mixed across sector types and geographical regions, the bank says.

Rabobank is forecasting a “base case” increase of approximately five per cent in the median price per hectare of all agricultural land types nationally in the year ahead.

“Land prices will maintain their growth trend, but not for all

sectors and regions,” the report says.

The bank’s analysis – of a data set sampling commercial sales across the country* – showed while the median price of agricultural land per hectare nationwide grew at a rate of 10.9 per cent in 2023, this was down on the stellar growth rates of 28.6 per cent and 27 per cent seen in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

Report author, RaboResearch analyst Vitor Pistoia said this slowing growth trend in agricultural land prices reflected a “maturing land market”, with a less bullish outlook for farm profitability, along with weather challenges and a tighter supply of available properties.

“Australia’s farming sector experienced an unprecedented positive cycle from 2020 to early 2023.

Record-high commodity prices

and plentiful rainfall supported profitability, which boosted farm business equity and confidence in a brighter future,” he said.

“Outside investors joined this booming sector and turbo-charged competition for land, supported by low interest rates.

The land market suddenly had many participants bidding – farmers willing to expand, investors pursuing capital gains and companies looking to invest in the carbon credit sector.”

On the flipside, Mr Pistoia said, farmers willing to exit the industry had used the opportunity to sell at rising prices, adding to the supply of land available for the increased demand.

Now, he said, the agricultural land market is finishing this cycle and starting a new one, where the number of farms for sale and

bidders is lower than before, and the financial outlook for the sector, while overall strong, is not as positive.

2023 agricultural land prices reflected a “tale of two industries”, according to the report, with the median price for arable (cropping) land rising 20 per cent, while grazing land remained virtually stable, with the median price slipping 0.3 per cent.

“Dairy land prices also showed strong price growth,” the report said, “increasing 22 per cent in 2023.”

Mr Pistoia said the contrasting price movements seen across the different land types reflected the fortunes of the sectors during the year, with cattle and sheep commodity markets suffering a considerable decline.

The data analysed indicated the

number of agricultural land deals fell in 2023, with national sales declining 35 per cent. This ranged across states with sales transactions down 43 per cent and 44 per cent respectively in Western Australia and Victoria, but only six per cent in South Australia, according to the analysis.

“Large deals – with sales above the A$10 million threshold – also declined, down 33 per cent year on year and about in line with the decline in all farm sales,” Mr Pistoia said.

Agricultural land price movements varied across the country in 2023, the report found, with year-on-year growth in the median price per hectare in New South Wales (six per cent), Queensland (four per cent), South Australia (one per cent) and Tasmania (eight per cent).

Livestock sales regional round-up DUBBO May 2, 2024 Total yarding: 2550 (down 721) There was a slight reduction in cattle numbers and the quality was mixed.

There were several larger runs of light and plain Bos Indicus cross cattle and well as good numbers of medium and heavy feeders.

Competition was strong on heavy feeder steers and the limited supply of feeder heifers.

Grown steers and heifers in prime condition still remain low with the bulk lighter in condition and more suited to feeder orders.

The cow run also was plainer with fewer heavy 3 and 4 score cows. All the usual buyers were operating and despite the drop in quality most sold to stronger trends.

Medium weight feeder steers were 12c stronger selling from 290c to 386c and the heavy weights were 10c to 15c stronger on average but lifted to 20c as buyers secured numbers.

A limited supply of feeder heifers were 30c dearer and ranged from 270c to 336c/kg.

Heavy trade heifers reached 355c a jump of 25c/kg.

The lighter grown steers to feed were 20c stronger as the feedlots were trying to purchase more cattle with

weight and sold to 380c/kg.

The prime grown steers and bullocks were 10c stronger selling from 293c to 332c/kg with only a small offering of heavy grown heifers prices jumped 50c with the bulk of the better heifers selling from 272c to 302c/kg.

Cows were 20c to 30c stronger with 2 score cows 185c to 239c and the heavy 3 and 4 scores sold from 208c to 245c/kg.

GUNNEDAH

April 30, 2024 Total yarding: 1215 (down 125) There was a small reduction in numbers with vealers and yearlings well supplied. There were not many well finished grown steers and heifers while cows were plentiful.

The quality of the offering was again mixed however showed a vast improvement on the previous week.

The full field of buyers were in attendance with demand increasing.

The market for weaner steers to restockers responded positively to a quality improvement that saw competition increase.

This resulted in dearer trends throughout the medium and heavy weights along with a strong breed related price change.

The heifers portion followed a similar trend. The limited supply of vealers also sold to a dearer trend.

The quality of the yearling steers improved as did the market trend with medium and heavy weights showing increases of 15c to 20c/kg. The increase was not necessarily breed related.

There was little but quality related price change in the medium and heavy weight yearling heifers to restock and feed. There were no yearlings suitable to processors.

Insufficient heavy grown steers or well finished grown heifers to quote.

The majority of the grown heifers went to restockers or feedlots with the lightly muscled heifers selling strongly in comparison to those carrying better muscle definition.

Quality was a factor in higher prices in most classes of cows.

Market trends were firm to dearer with the top priced restocker cows being joined for a July/August calving.

An increased yield potential was a major factor in the higher end of prices for the well finished heavy weights.

INVERELL

April 30, 2024 Total yarding: 1034 (up 454) Inverell penned 1034 mixed quality cattle, an increase of 454 head.

There was a slight increase in the cow numbers.

The regular buyers attended and operated in full to a much dearer market.

Weaners were considerably dearer with restockers active resulting in that market 12c/kg dearer for steers and 7c/kg better for heifers.

Steer vealers to the trade were significantly dearer selling to 240c/kg. Light steers to background to 30c/kg better as were the similar class feeders to substantially dearer trends and selling to 344.2/kg.

Medium feeders firm to slightly dearer as were the heavy feeders gaining 6c/kg.

TAMWORTH

April 29, 2024 Total yarding: 1975 (up 430) There was an increase in supply despite the cow numbers falling by half.

Young cattle were well supplied however there was a limited supply of well finished grown steers and heifers.

The quality of the offering was quite

mixed with condition also varying.

The majority of the buyers were in attendance with some commission orders absent.

There were varying trends through the young cattle with the lighter end of the weaner steers to restock selling to cheaper trends.

The heavier weights over 280kg sold to dearer trends to show strong gains in places. There was little change in the weaner heifers to restock.

Secondary quality yearling steers to restock and feed sold to cheaper trends while the higher quality lines saw a firm to dearer trend with improvements of as much as 10c/kg on the heavy weights.

Quality accounted for price change in some classes.

Medium and heavy weight yearling heifers sold to dearer trends despite reduced competition.

The keenly sought lines saw improvements of 15c to 30c on some of the breed specific sales.

Well finished heavy trade cattle sold to dearer trends on a limited supply.

There were too few heavy grown steers to quote.

Well finished grown heifers to process sold to dearer trends, the lack of heavy steers contributing.

There was little but quality related price change in the cow market with restockers active on the plainer condition lines.
