Beneath the lens When two childhood friends set out on different paths, one with a saddle and one with a lens, their journey came full circle on the dusty roads of the Australian outback.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY Local artist and photographer, Xanthe McCrea has taken to brush and lens to capture Sarah Wheeler’s journey across the Australian outback.

Sarah travelled 5,500 kilometres over nine months during her ‘Outback Long Ride’ to honour her late parents

and to raise funds and awareness for the Pancare Found ation and her own charity, A Daughter’s Way. The trek has, to date, raised over $500,000 for the Pancare Foundation and over $43,000 for A Daughter’s Way. Xanthe and Sarah met on their first day of Year 7 at Calrossy Anglican School and

have remained friends since. So, when Xanthe caught wind that Sarah was about to embark on this epic ride, she knew she had to get involved.

“I felt moved by what Sarah had committed to doing,” Xanthe said.

“I was inspired to show support where I could, with the talent I have.”

Xanthe took the opportunity to

photography Sarah at several points of her ride – first in Dunedoo last November, then Nyngan in February and finally at Rowena, where Sarah finished her ride later that month.

“I just wanted to capture what she was doing and do justice to her strength. Seeing something so special that Sarah has created out of grief was just so inspiring.”

While equine photography was a relatively new experience for Xanthe, it’s since opened new and exciting opportunities for her business.

“This experience has heavily impacted how I look at my practice,”

she said.

“It has opened a massive door for commissions.”

At the ride’s end, Xanthe attended the auction and raffle held in Rowena, where she donated her painting ‘Taking a Breather’, inspired by Sarah and her horses – raising an incredible $5000.

“I have never sold a painting for that much money. I was taken aback by the support I received for my artwork,” she said.

Xanthe emphasised the power of the rural community banding together to support Sarah.

“The Rowena auction made $30,000 alone,

which was huge!

“I was so encouraged by the country spirit.

People you don’t know showing up for you in such a big way – you just don’t get that anywhere else.”

For Xanthe, witnessing Sarah’s strength as a woman in rural Australia was nothing short of inspiring.

“It was so encouraging and made me so hopeful for young women in the country.”

The profound impact of Sarah Wheeler’s ride will be felt for years to come.

“Sarah was able to bring awareness to upper GI cancers and loss, even in tragedy,” Xanthe said.

“It is a big part of her

identity, but made her so strong.”

Xanthe said the experience has had an instrumental effect on her and her business.

“It changed the way that I look at my art and photography. It was a seminal event and a highlight of my career.”

You’ve got mail!

For more than 90 years, a small brass post office box in Coonabarabran has played a key role in one local family’s daily routine.

by MOLLY SHANNON Recently identified as the longest-held PO Box in Coonabarabran, the mailbox has been in the Young and Ryan families for three generations, with Pat Young acquiring the PO Box in 1934.

The PO Box has seen a lot of history, bringing the family letters from loved ones over the years and documenting their lives.

Pat Young’s great granddaughter, Meg Wilkin (Edmondstone) said the mailbox was quite special to the family.

“Over the years we all have memories of heading to the post office to collect the mail with our great grandparents, grandparents, parents and aunties,” Meg said.

Meg’s grandmother, Gwen Ryan, has special memories of receiving letters from her father from the war, while Meg’s own memories are a little different.

“When I was little, my grandparents used to take us down to collect the mail,” she said.

“When I was too short to reach the box, Pop use to lift me up so I could use the key.

“I used to be so fascinated that I could see through the box into the mail room, and often the staff would say hello if they saw us peeking in.

“We would then go next door to the Bakery and get an apple turnover.”

After finding out about how old the PO Box was, Meg took to social media to share the story.

“I am quite a nostalgic person and I decided to share the story for my extended family to see. I got an amazing response with lots of likes and comments on how cool it was.”

As for the future of the mailbox, the family remains uncertain who the next custodian will be.

“I’m not sure, but I’m sure one of us definitely will.”

Students leading the way in the Bungles

Stage Three school leaders from across north-west NSW spent three nights amongst the mountains and stars in the heart of the Warrumbungles, building leadership skills, resilience and connection.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY From 1-3 April, student leaders and staff from Coonabarabran and su r rou nd i ng a reas attended the ‘Young Leaders of the West’ leadership camp, held at the Warrumbungle Nationa l Pa rk E nv i r on menta l Education Centre (EEC).

Led by EEC teacher and principal, Wes Leedham, the three-day camp brought together 34 students from 13 d i f f e r e nt r u r a l a nd r e m o t e Department of Education schools.

Students pa r ticipated i n a ja m-pac ke d it i ner a r y i nc lud i n g bushwalking, movie-making sessions, sensory and trust activities, and leadership challenges.

T hey explored the qualities of effective leadership and had the chance to build their skills in a team setting. “ Students learned what makes a good leader, different leadership st yle s , p er s on a l it y t y p e s , t e a m building, and that good leaders need good support,” Mr Leedham said. “ T he students were g iven a leadership task, which included the planning and delivery of a movie presentation.”

Mr Leedham said the camp was part of a broader leadership program that continued over four months within each participating school.

The program encourages students to step up as leaders and take ownership of their environmental impact, while also forming friendships with peers from other schools.

“Many students come from similar contextual backgrounds. Some are the only leaders at their school,” he said.

“It provides the kids with connection and leadership skills before a high school setting.

“There is a social and collaborative aspect – kids get to mingle and make friends.”

Mr Leedham said the transformation in students was clear over the course of the camp. “ T he bigge st ch a nge a mong st the kids is that the students who

were once sitting only with their school’s students and staff, start to mingle with others and become more confident.

“They all showed great potential as student leaders.”

State Member for Barwon, Roy Butler attended a dinner during the event, meeting with students and sharing his knowledge of leadership.

“The EEC is an incredible resource for students in western NSW,” Mr Butler said.

“Programs like this help to nurture and grow the leaders of tomorrow i n a n env i r on ment th at i s b oth educational and fun.

“I encourage schools within the Barwon electorate to reach out to the EEC and see how schools can work with the EEC for the benefit of their students.”

M r L eed ham sa id M r Butler ’s presence added to the camp’s impact.

“Roy has a good understanding of the community and is a good voice for the community,” Mr Leedham said.

“He got to speak with the kids and they had the opportunity to ask questions. It was a valuable learning experience not only for the kids, but for Roy and the staff.”

The Warrumbungle National Park Environmental Education Centre is one of 24 Environmental Education C ent r es ac r o s s N S W, pr ov id i ng students with a unique opportunity to learn beyond the classroom. “ The Warrumbungles is a great learning environment – it teaches kids that there are many things you can and can’t control ,” Mr Leedham said “For example, on the second day we got rain. This taught the kids to be flexible, adapt and tolerate conditions – and that we could still get the day done.”

Mr Leedham said the camp offered students a deeper awareness of their place in the world.

“It teaches kids that we are not the centre of the environment – we are just part of it. “ It ’s a g r ou nd i n g, le a r n i n g environment.”

Community first: Coolah woman launches Parkes campaign As a local farmer, small business owner and long-time community advocate, Coolah’s Sally Edwards has announced her candidacy for the seat of Parkes, with a pledge to put “people before politics”. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience living and working in the Warrumbungle region, the Libertarian candidate is calling for a return to grassroots representation – one that champions rural communities, demands accountability in government and protects the future of regional Australia.

To the people of Coonabarabran and the Parkes Electorate, For me, one of the most important parts of running for Federal Parliament is encouraging people to get involved and not be afraid of talking politics. I believe it’s time we treated politics more like a well-run volunteer community organisation – with heart, passion and a desire to work with good, transparent and accountable governance and to work in the best interests of our citizens, to enable us to not just stay in existence, but to grow and thrive.

For the past 18 years my family and I have fa r med and run smal l busines ses in the Warrumbungle region. I have spent many of these years working in the rural community development space and volunteering with local activities and organisations. During this time, I have seen many Australians and rural communities disadvantaged by centralisation, Government red-tape and serious government ineptitude. I have witnessed the negative effects of an ever-increasing burden of restrictive rules on businesses, industries and individuals. I have seen entire industries heavily regulated or closed with little thought for those who lost farms or jobs, and the cost to those families and communities.

I see the Parkes electorate facing many challenges: • Healthcare and education services in a worse state than they were 30 years ago • Continued population decline – often caused by government decisions • Communities a victim of central planning as the location for Government-led industrial projects like the Renewable Energy Zones and Gas Incinerator Waste to Energy Projects 5 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 17 April 2025

• Lack of supportive regulation for agriculture, real-food production (not lab meat) and industry • Distinct lack of protection for our land, environment, water and property rights • Paying with our taxes for Government inefficiency and ineffectiveness None of these challenges are new, they are persistent and terminal challenges that if remain unaddressed, as they have been over the past three or more decades, will not support a thriving future for rural and regional Australia.

I ask you to consider how Government has impacted your life over the past few decades. I ask you to consider the possible benefits of having a representative that stands for communities first and who will sit on the crossbench. I ask you to consider the challenges we would face in having a sitting member in the opposition.

This election is about who you want to represent you on the ground. The result impacts your day-to-day life and your future in many ways, none more than the taxes you are forced to pay, the services that are provided to you and your community (or not!) and the way you can raise your family and run your business.

If elected, I will stand to protect and support family, small business and the rural way of life. To support a vision for a safe, secure and sustainable future for regional Australia that is both of our design and with our support and I commit to act and represent with honesty, transparency and accountability.

– Sally Edwards

Libertarian for Parkes

Return of the Royal Hotel

When the Rickert family, best known for the iconic Pilliga Pottery, purchased the Royal Hotel back in 2014, they never imagined it would take more than a decade to bring the historic pub back to life. But in December 2024, just in time for Christmas, the doors of the beautifullyrestored Royal Hotel swung open, ushering in a new era for hospitality in Coonabarabran.

PHOTO: The Royal Hotel bar features Bernhard Rickert’s craftmanship.

The decision to buy the pub was sparked by a passing comment from Bernard Rickert, who noticed the building was up for auction while renovating his home in town.

“At first, we weren’t sure,” co-owner, Regina Fritz recalled.

“But the idea of having a business in town – something not affected by weather, drought, or road conditions like at the pottery – started to bloom.”

Built in 1912, the Royal Hotel’s doublebrick facade and central location gave it immediate appeal. But it was the vision of what the space could become – a community hub with soul – that sealed the deal.

“We used to go to events there like Science in the Pub,” Regina said.

“It started to have a pull for us and we couldn’t stop thinking about it. We all wanted to see Coonabarabran and this pub lively again.”

Over the years, the building underwent major renovations, powered by a blend of family determination and diverse skills.

Maria Rickert’s unshakable commitment, Ber nhard’s building ex per tise, Eva

Watterson’s eye for interior design and legalities, and Regina and Johannes Ricker t ’s hands- on suppor t helped transform the once-derelict space into something truly unique.

The newly-reopened Royal Hotel offers an atmosphere unlike anything else in town.

Guests can sip cocktails in the Italianinspired Jasmine L aneway, enjoy a meal in the stylish interior, or gather with friends in one of the inviting nooks dotted throughout the venue.

“We noticed people like to dress up to come here – it’s classy and so good to see,” Regina said.

“It was something missing in Coona.”

T he k itchen, one of t he bigges t challenges, is compact but still delivers big on flavour and quality.

“You can’t have a pub without schnitzel or steak,” Regina said.

“We keep it classic, but focus on doing it really well. Our rewards are the compliments we get.”

On a personal note, Regina’s dream of serving Bratwurst with sweet mustard in our rural country town has finally come

to life.

“Every time someone orders one, I get a little thrill.”

The Royal sources what it can locally – meat from butchers, milk from Little Big Dairy Co., and even the dinnerware – which was handcrafted at Pilliga Pottery.

Some items have to be ordered in from Sydney or Nundle just to serve pastries or fresh trout for more variety.

More than just a pub, the Royal has quickly become a place for meetings, celebrations and casual catch-ups.

“We’ve hosted birthdays, business meetings, community group dinners – it’s being used in all the ways we hoped.”

The impact on Coonabarabran’s main street has been immediate.

“It’s brought the soul back,” Regina said.

“Other business owners have told us people are staying longer in town, shopping, eating out. There’s a buzz again.”

That’s the biggest reward for Maria, Johannes, Regina, Bernhard and Eva – seeing the Royal Hotel once again at the heart of a thriving community.

Bakery’s recipe for success A true institution in town, the Coonabarabran Bakery has been a staple on the main street for decades – and under the care of secondgeneration owners Jenna and Adam Flood, it continues to evolve while holding tight to its traditional roots.

The couple took over the business in 2018 from Adam’s parents, Ros and Keith, who ran the Bakery for more than 30 years.

But the family connection runs deep. Adam recalls standing on a milk crate as a child, helping his father sprinkle sesame seeds on bread rolls.

After moving back to Coonabarabran from Newcastle in 2012 to work with Ros and Keith, Jenna and Adam made the decision to settle in town and raise their family.

Taking on the Bakery felt like a natural next chapter as Ros and Keith began planning for retirement.

“It’s always been a family-run business,” Jenna said.

“And we’re proud to carry it on, right in the heart of the main street.”

The Coonabarabran Bakery offers everything you’d expect from a traditional bakery – fresh daily bread, classic sandwich bar staples and a legendary range of pies that draw rave reviews from travellers and locals alike.

But it also brings a modern flair to the table.

Renovating the shop next door allowed Jenna and Adam to expand their dining space and broaden their menu offerings.

Now, the Bakery’s weekly specials include gourmet pies, hearty stews and soups, creative salads and indulgent desserts.

Friday street-food specials are always a crowd favourite and ideas often come from the team’s shared creativity in the kitchen.

Catering has also become a passion project for Jenna, offering a way to support people through life’s big occasions

6 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 17 April 2025

— from weddings and balls to final farewells and office gatherings.

“I love creating, cooking and entertaining,” she said.

“We’ve built a strong catering arm over time – it’s been nurtured and grown, and it’s something we’re really proud of.”

Wherever possible, ingredients are sourced locally and the Bakery can accommodate all dietary needs with notice – gluten-free, vegetarian or something custom. Jenna said the team is always up for the challenge.

The Bakery has become a go-to for visitors and a regular meeting spot for locals. Whether it’s a quick dash for bread and milk, a relaxed meal at the Newell Highway shopfront, or a coffee catch-up in the cosy dining room.

While the Floods don’t chase industry awards, they’ve earned heartfelt praise from their loyal customers.

“One traveller told us it was the best bakery they’d been to in years of exploring Australia and that they always make a point to stop in and tell their friends to do the same,” Jenna said.

The Floods are also big believers in giving back.

They support community groups and events through product donations, raffle prizes and free local delivery, and love seeing their pies and bread served at local sports games and fund-raisers.

As for what’s next?

“We’re always thinking, planning, trying new things – but we never kiss and tell,” Jenna laughed.

“There’s always something on the boil.”

Bringing the Impy continues to buzz to Baradine serve up history One of Coonabarabran’s longest-operating hospitality venues, the Imperial Hotel is a cornerstone of the community – and a favourite for both locals and travellers alike.

For nearly a decade, The Embassy Cafe in Baradine has been serving up delicious food, quality coffee and a warm, welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike.

Owned and operated by Will and Ella King, the cafe has become a cornerstone of the town, offering everything from classic comfort food to specialty dietary options.

The Embassy’s story began in 2017 when Ella, who had worked for the previous owner Narelle Wood at what was then called ‘Freckles Coffee Spot’, saw an opportunity to take over the business.

Together with Will, they rebranded the cafe, naming it ‘The Embassy’ as a tribute to the building’s origins as Baradine’s cinema. The original ‘Embassy’ name is still proudly displayed on the facade.

One of the things that make The Embassy stand out is its ability to cater to a wide variety of tastes.

“Visitors are often surprised to find a cafe out here with so many milk options, plus gluten-free and vegan choices,” Ella said.

“But don’t worry – we also have plenty of bacon and cheese!”

Since taking over, Will and Ella have expanded the business in a variety of ways.

Early on, they took on the challenge of running Baradine Central School’s canteen kiosk, which evolved into a school lunch delivery system during COVID, a service they continue to provide.

Their menu has also grown, incorporating signature items such as the Embassy Burger, the Hangover Roll and their hugely-popular loaded chips.

“Not a day goes by without someone ordering loaded chips,” Will said.

“And, honestly, the staff love them just as much as the customers!”

Their coffee has also developed a strong following, with regulars popping in daily for their caffeine fix. Among their favourite customers is a group of lively elderly ladies who visit fortnightly for coffee and a chat.

Sourcing ingredients in a regional area has its challenges, but Will and Ella are committed to maintaining quality.

“We buy locally wherever possible, but sometimes we have to drive to Dubbo, Gunnedah, or even Tamworth to get what we need,” Ella explained.

“We even set up a car freezer to help with

transport!”

Catering to various dietary needs is another priority.

“There are a number of people with coeliac disease in town, so we take gluten-free very seriously,” Ella said.

“We have separate fryers and toasters to prevent cross-contamination.

“Our vegetarian and vegan options are also well-loved, particularly the #6 focaccia and veg breakfast roll.”

Creating a welcoming and efficient dining experience is key to their success.

“We do a lot of takeaways, so we’ve streamlined our processes to get food out fast,” Will said.

“For dine-in customers, we’ve added fun touches like themed salt and pepper shakers and a kids’ play area.”

Despite the challenges of rising costs and supply issues, The Embassy continues to thrive, thanks to the community’s support.

“Baradine keeps our doors open and we do our best to give back, but we also wouldn’t be able to do any of this without the help of our incredible staff - Jodi, Holly and Stasia,” Will said.

The business also regularly donates to the local footy club and the schools, believing in a symbiotic relationship between local businesses and the community.

While Will wonders where he can apply for the “world’s handsomest barista” competition, the cafe hasn’t received any official awards (yet).

But Ella considers their longevity the biggest achievement.

“Eight years of ups and downs and we’re still here. That’s the real recognition. But, you know, a plaque would be nice!”

Looking ahead, The Embassy recently extended its hours to 5pm, providing a muchneeded afternoon hangout spot.

“It’d be great to create a true third space for all ages to gather,” Will said.

As for what they love most about running a cafe in Baradine?

“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world,” Will said.

Ella smiled and agreed: “Ditto.”

Built in the early 190 0s, the Imperial has operated c o n t i n u o u s l y e v e r s i n c e, making it Coona’s longestrunning pub.

Taking over the business in July 2018, owner Adam Drabarek went “all in”, selling everything he owned to invest in the iconic pub.

“Coona is an amazing town,” Adam said.

“I think I’ve made some lifelong friends here.”

The Imperial’s staying power has been strengthened by a sense of community and a commitment to keeping things fresh.

Regulars at the pub will tell you it’s not just the cold beer that brings them back, but the people, especially bar legend Donna, who’s been pouring beers at the watering hole for 42 years and counting.

“She’s definitely unique and is renowned by locals as the best beer pourer in Australia,” said manager, Sam Brown, “Quote unquote!”

But the Imperial isn’t just a locals’ haunt, it’s also a hub for visitors passing through, offering a welcoming place to res t, refresh and enjoy some yarns with the town’s characters.

In recent years, Adam and Sam have made steady upgrades to improve the venue, with a focus on enhancing the customer experience.

The dining room is now fit ted with duc ted air conditioning, perfect for hot summer days, while the public bar boasts two large TV walls, new furniture and an upgraded sound system.

And while the Imperial is famous for its classic pub vibe, it’s also stepped up its drinks’ game.

“We love serving a perfectly poured beer,” Sam said.

“But we’ve also introduced top -shelf cock tails like margaritas, espresso martinis and some more exotic ones like our storm and sunshine cocktails.”

The team aims to provide a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere, with fr iendly ser vice and weekend entertainment.

“We want the pub to feel familiar,” Sam said.

“A place where you can socialise, enjoy a laugh and let

your hair down.”

That warmth and care is w hat ’s ear ne d Sam s o me of his most memorable compliments, like the young local who told him he treats everyone with “respect and dignity.”

“It really stuck with me,” he said.

But Adam and Sam agree that the support from the local community has made all the difference.

The Imperial is a proud suppor ter of local spor t and communit y groups, sponsoring everything from the Coona Kookas and the Unicorns to the Coona Rodeo, Show and Jockey Club.

They’ve also backed events like the North West Equestrian E x p o, Wes t pac Res c ue Helicopter appeals and the Koori Knockout.

And it’s not just about the drinks and good company — the Imperial’s bistro has earned a solid reputation for its top-notch pub fare, dished up under the expert guidance

of head chef, Beau Manzi.

From hear t y clas sic s to modern favourites, Beau’s me nu has b e co me a r eal drawcard for both locals and travellers craving a quality, satisfying meal.

Whether it’s a per fectlycooked schnitzel or a fresh, seasonal special, the bistro delivers the kind of honest, generous plates country pubs are known for.

Their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.

The pub has been recognised at the Australian Hotels Association NSW Awards for Excellence for three consecutive years, including winning Best Casual Dining in the Western Region in 2023 and multiple finalist nods in categories like Best Steak Sandwich, Best Traditional Pub Accommodation and Best Cheap Eats.

With a rich past and a fresh approach to hospitality, the Imperial Hotel remains a true local legend.

“Council’s decision to support the relocation reflects its strong commitment to keeping critical ser vices available to Dunedoo’s residents,” Cr Rindfleish said. “ T h e Po s t O f f i ce i s a c r u c i a l resource for both personal and business needs and ensuring that it remains within the community is a top priority for Council.”

The Old Bank Building, located in the heart of Dunedoo, offers a central and convenient location for the Post Office, making it easily accessible to everyone in the town.

“This relocation is great news for the community! We understand how important it is to keep essential services like the Post Office right here in Dunedoo,” Cr Rindfleish concluded.

“The Old Bank Building is an ideal location, and we’re pleased to see this move come to fruition.”

Men, mates and a whole lotta shed The Coonabarabran Men’s Shed hosted a meeting of Zone shed members on Thursday, 3 April.

In attendance were members from sheds in Warren, Baradine, Trundle, Coonamble, Gilgandra, and Binnaway, along with two sheds from Dubbo.

Also present were Noel Frappell, state president of the Australian Men’s Shed Association from the Nepean Shed; Beth Gow Shed, support officer from the Australian Men’s Shed Association in Newcastle; and

Mick O’Bryan, Zone representative from Trundle.

At the meeting, each shed shared an overview of their activities, highlighting how their shed provides a space for camaraderie, conversation and a chance for members to raise concerns or work on tasks – whether personal projects or shared shed activities.

Visiting members

were given a tour of the local facilities and were impressed by the range of tools and equipment available at the Coonabarabran Shed.

Throughout the morning, members exchanged ideas and advice that could help improve the operation of other sheds in the network.

Following the meeting, the Coonabarabran Shed members hosted

a barbecue lunch for everyone in attendance.

“We warmly welcome any males over the age of 18 to join our shed, enjoy the company of our members and take part in activities – whether working on personal projects or contributing to shed tasks,” said Coonabarabran Men’s Shed secretary, Neville McCarty, issuing a call out for new members.

Banjo, the first person in Coonabarabran to borrow one of the new Story Kits, was keen to examine its contents.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Warrumbungle Children’s Services Ya a m a M a l i y a a (Hello friends).

A t Yu luw i r r i Kids, the infants and toddlers have shown a lot of interest in gross m o t o r pl ay. G r o s s motor skills are those wh i c h r e q u i r e t he whole body to move a nd wh i c h i nv olve the large muscles of the body to perform everyday functions, such as sta nd i ng, wa l k i n g , r u n n i n g , and sitting upright.

T he educators have been supporting and developing this interest by creating risky and challenging obstacle courses throughout the week. Playing on the obstacle course also allows the children to

begin to develop social skills such as taking turns and learning about the concept of others.

The educators are able to help the babies by using positive and encouraging language a nd role model l i ng how to wait for each other while also giving them space and time to apply these skills.

However, the children are having too much fun to realise all this is taking place.

They’re so engaged in the joy of movement and discovery that the learning feels easy.

Babies learn best when they’re having fun, and an obstacle course is the perfect example of that.

St John’s primary students travelled to Coonamble for a fun day of netball and rugby league.

‘Roos roll on while Swans surprise The impressive form shown in 2024 by Coolah Kangaroos was again on show at the 2025 Castlereagh League’s first-grade knockout played last Saturday before a sizeable crowd in warm weather at Warren’s Victoria Park.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE Just as they did last year, the Coolah outfit was imposing as they swept all before them to claim the Castlereagh League K nockout Shield, scoring 56 points in their three matches while conceding just six – that being a converted penalty try in the final against the Dunedoo Swans.

Prior to their 20 to

6 win over the Swans, the Coolah Kangaroos downed the Baradine Magpies 22 to nil in the open ing game before winning 14 to nil against their 2024 grand-final opponent , the C oba r Roosters.

Despite being beaten 20 to 6 in the final, the Swans would have been well pleased with their effort, which surprised

many, after not fielding a first-grade side last year.

Dunedoo accounted for Coonabarabran 18-6 in their first match, then got over the top of the Coonamble Bears 16-12 in a semi-final.

The Coonabarabran Un icor ns took out the consolation final, defeati ng thei r nea r neighbours and a rch r iva ls, the Ba rad i ne Magpies 22 to 4.

T here was g reat support for the host club,

the Warren Bulldogs, in what is their comeback season to the Castlereagh League competition after a lengthy absence. The Bulldogs were narrowly beaten 12 to 6 in the first game of the day and then drew 12-all with Coonabarabran, but did not progress any further in the knockout as the Unicorns were declared the winners because they were the first scorers in the match.

WEDNESDAY GOLF There was a good rollup of players to compete in the Coonabarabran G ol f C lub’s pa r/ s t a bl e f o r d e v e n t o n Wednesday, 9 April.

T he w inner on the day was John Dav is, returning a score of 25 points.

B a l ls were won by Ju l ie S h i nt on , 2 7, closely followed by Jan

Keppie, 26.

The golf course looks a picture, with many thanks to our band of volu nt eers who have been ha rd at work mowing the fairways, remov i ng logs f rom fallen trees and caring for the all-impor tant putting areas.

One of the ladies had a ball lodged in an old,

VETERANS’ GOLF dead tree. No amount of scratching, poking or beating would release the tree’s hold on the pretty little pink ball.

Then, a stroke of genius from a seasoned player – out came her extendable retriever weapon and she had the ball safely back in play in no time.

WEEKEND GOLF There was a good field of golfers for the Coonabarabran Golf Club’s regular stableford event played on the weekend, with 19 players enjoying the great weather and a nice green course.

The winner was Frank Clifton, on a count back

from Wayne Bennell on 37 points.

Balls went to W Bennell 37, F Nottle 36, G Keppie 35 and J Mills on 34.

This week is Easter, so we have golf on as per usual.

Z.H.

Nine golfers took part in the Coonabarabran Golf Club’s veterans’ competition on Wed nesd ay, 9 Apr i l , which was played in good conditions.

The winner on the day was Mick Noy with a net 36, while the runner-up

was John Wood with a net 37.

Nearest to the pins went to Mick Noy, Dick Clark, Peter McDonald and Bill Wilkin. Bill also won the long putt.

Keep smiling when golfing.

CHICKEN RUN The Coonabarabran Golf Club’s Sunday morning chicken run was played over the front nine on 13 April, with Dale Moore and Cody Higgins in the winners’ circle, scoring 23 points on a count back.

Vouchers were won by Aden Larance and Wally Tighe, 23 points.

Next Sunday’s chicken

run, on 20 April, will be played over the back nine.

The club will be opened all day on Easter Sunday and the courtesy bus will be running, so ring the club to book.

The golf course will be open to all, with no sprinklers on the course.

Happy Easter to all.

Electronic scoreboard lights up Coona’s No. 1 Oval The Coonabarabran Unicorns Senior and Junior Rugby Legue Clubs have joined forces for an innovative project, which has resulted in a new digital scoreboard for Coonabarabran’s No.1 Oval...just in time for the kick-off.

by MOLLY SHANNON The two clubs had been l ook i ng to modernise the facility for some time and, after re a c h i n g t h e i r f u n d raising goal, were finally able to make it happen.

While the old scoreboard holds plenty of sentimental value, its condition and reliability meant it was time for a change.

“With the health and safety regulations these days, it’s just not compliant any longer – it’s outdated,” said Tony Cole, Coonabarabran Senior League vice president and secretary.

“When we travel away, most towns and clubs have electronic scoreboards. This i s s o m e t h i n g w e’ v e wanted, so anyone watching our games can get an accurate idea of the score and how much time’s left [in the game].”

Up until now, scores and remaining game time were announced ove r t h e PA s y s t e m , which wasn’t ideal.

“Not everyone could hear it – how long was left or what the scores w e r e, etc ,” M r C o l e

added.

“It’s also going to be good for the players – they can look up and know how much time is left, so they’ve got an understanding of what they need to do if they’re behind.

“So, there’s plenty of reasons why it was time to step it up and provide something a bit more modern.”

The project also ma r ked a positive collaboration between the town’s senior and junior clubs. “ F o r b ot h c l u b s to come tog ethe r and m a ke a n a g re e m e nt and then wor k side by side to bring this to fruition has been really good. It’s going to be great for both clubs,” Mr Cole said.

The new scoreboard was supplied by Southern Cross Sco reboa rds i n Sydney, with local talent handling the installation.

The scoreboard has been erected on the outside of the oval and aligned with the centre line, a position which Junior League president, Tim Evans said he was excited about.

“That’s why it’s where it is – it’ll be visible and we’re hoping it might spark a bit of interest f ro m peo p l e pa s s i n g by on the highway,” Mr Evans said.

“They might see it and think, ‘Oh, let’s duck in here for a look,’ and it’ll help promote our town and our game a little bit.”

“It was unfair on them having to catch the bus home and then head to Coonamble for training,” Mr Evans said. “This way, they can stay local.”

“We’ve got reasonably good numbers – sadly, in part, because Binnaway didn’t form this year,” Mr Cole said.

“So, we’ve managed to attract a few young players because there’s no competition down in Binnaway this year, but we’re so happy that

we’ve got our 18s on the paddock again this year.”

Coalition promises funds for childcare and crisis support The Liberal-Nationals Coalition has promised $860,000 to the communities of Narrabri and Gunnedah in the form of support for a local childcare facility as well as crisis accommodation.

Candidate for Parkes Jamie Chaffey made the announcements in each of the communities last week.

Mr Chaffey said if he’s elected, and The Nationals help form government at the forthcoming election, $600,000 will be provided to renovate the recently purchased Nurruby Children Service’s Barwan Street facility in Narrabri.

While in Gunnedah, Mr Chaffey announced $260,000 for a new two-bedroom cottage to be built for women fleeing domestic violence.

“Everywhere I go in the Parkes electorate it’s about the 3 Cs, childcare, healthcare and aged care. The Nationals understand that investing in early childhood education will improve the educational outcomes for children, which will also have long-term benefits for the Narrabri community,” Mr Chaffey said in Narrabri.

“We need to get these three care sectors right, to ensure we can retain locals and to attract new people to our communities to fill the abundance of employment opportunities and grow our regional areas. If we are going to get the balance right to grow our regional communities, this investment is a must.”

Nurruby Children Services are contributing $600,000 towards

the project, bringing the total investment for the Narrabri community to $1.2 million.

Nurruby Children Services managing director Prue Jamieson said there has been a critical shortage of childcare in Narrabri for years, especially for the 0–3-year-old age group.

“We are thrilled that this project may soon become a reality, thanks to the $600,000 campaign commitment. This new service will provide much needed education and care for our youngest children,” Ms Jamieson said.

Mr Chaffey was joined at Nurruby for the announcement last week by his wife Judy, retiring Member for Parkes Mark Coulton and his wife Robyn and Shadow Minister for Regional Education Darren Chester.

Mr Chester said the campaign commitment demonstrated The Nationals’ strong focus on delivering for regional communities.

“Regional Australia has been left behind by Labor’s city centric childcare policies that haven’t done anything to address access in regional Australia. The Nationals are committed to delivering care to our regions because we know it is key to attracting the critical skills that allow communities like Narrabri to thrive,” Mr Chester said.

For Gunnedah, the Coalition’s support would allow for a new two-bedroom cottage to be built on the site of Jobs Australia’s current crisis accommodation, Allawah Cottage.

Coalition promises funds for childcare and crisis support Continued from front page

“We’ll see that money come out quite quickly and very soon after we’ll see another house that’ll be put [on] location to provide this service,” Mr Chaffey said.

Mr Chaffey said the community has heard a lot about crime and specifically youth crime but not enough about domestic violence.

“What I’m hearing consistently is that the cost of living crisis is really hurting families,” Mr Chaffey said.

“Substance abuse is up. People are getting quite desperate and unfortunately we’re seeing more domestic violence.”

The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) states that 2024 data found higher per-capita rates of assault in remote and regional areas in NSW. Mr Chaffey said a federal Coalition government will be supporting local government and with the Gunnedah Shire Council mayor Colleen Fuller’s support, as well as fundraising from the Gunnedah

community, they can duplicate Allawah Cottage.

He said the original cottage used funding from the former Coalition government and donations from the community for it to be built.

Also joining the announcement was Jobs Australia social enterprises development coordinator Tracey Reid, who manages Allawah Cottage.

Jobs Australia would also contribute $50,000 for the project.

Ms Reid said Allawah Cottage has helped more than 120 women since its opening three years ago but the number of people needing help is still substantial.

“We have a wait list all the time,” Ms Reid said.

“At the moment we’ve got four [people waiting] but we have had up to eight to 10.

“If we get the second cottage, we can support a lot more.”

She said they also assist the victims in re-establishing, finding support networks and finding a new home.

Reform needed to support agricultural productivity Farmers are calling for practical and common-sense workforce and regulatory reforms to address ongoing labour shortages in Australian agriculture and support improved productivity outcomes.

NSW Farmers’ president Xavier Martin said agricultural businesses depend on a consistent and suitably skilled workforce, and decisive action is needed from political leaders during this federal election to deliver the workforce regional Australia requires.

“An extended AgCAREERSTART program, increased support for graduate veterinarians in regional areas, and broader initiatives to develop and train future farm communities are essential to the long-term sustainability of the agriculture sector,” Mr Martin said. “Investment in farmworker

accommodation and regional infrastructure is also necessary to attract and retain workers in the areas where they are needed.

Improving the liveability of regional areas plays a critical role in workforce retention.”

Mr Martin said reducing the complexity and cost of complying with industrial relations laws was a priority for primary producers.

“Workplace regulations must support productivity, not inhibit it. Compliance processes need to be streamlined so farmers can focus on running their businesses efficiently,” he said.

Mr Martin added that improvements to migration programs are also required to ensure farmers can access international labour to fill roles that cannot be met by the domestic workforce.

New post-emergent herbicide tank-mix options welcomed by Northern growers The ability to cost-effectively mix a selected rate of aminopyralid broadleaf weed herbicide with other cereal post-emergent herbicide partners has put a smile on the face of northern croppers over recent years and it appears it will only widen this year.

The launch of Grindstone® by ADAMA Australia in 2023 introduced a solo formulation of aminopyralid, which previously had only been available in co-formulations with other herbicides.

Jim O’Connor, Market Development Manager with ADAMA Australia in Southern Queensland, said growers have used Grindstone to create their own post-emergent brews particularly with picloram and MCPA herbicides, and with metsulfuron or fluroxypyr herbicides also added to tank mixes in some cases.

“It has allowed flexibility with their post-emergent tank mixes, they could avoid using metsulfuron when using the aminopyralid in Grindstone, and they could dial the aminopyralid rate up or down to suit their situation,” Jim said.

He said many growers have taken the opportunity to use a higher-than-normal rate of aminopyralid in their tank mixes to improve in-crop weed control and achieve good residual control into fallows and through to the following season.

“They have applied it in mixes at the early tillering stage of crops and looked to suppress weeds through to the next growing season.”

“The higher rate of aminopyralid makes the tank mixes better and gives that extra residual punch, resulting in less weeds and cleaner paddocks.

“These mixes have been particularly good against sowthistle and fleabane.”

The ability to select the rate of aminopyralid

and other herbicides in tank mixes also allows greater re-cropping flexibility.

Jim said the cost-effectiveness of using Grindstone with a range of tank-mix partners was another major attraction for growers and they also used the mixes to target climbing buckwheat, wireweed and volunteer pulses, as well as prickly lettuce in southern areas.

Grindstone is compatible with a broad range of grass and broadleaf herbicides and doesn’t compromise efficacy of commonly used selective grass herbicides in cereal crops. Its unique soluble liquid formulation also is user-friendly and easier to handle than existing granular products.

“The release of Grindstone has certainly been well received and supported by growers. Its use has exceeded our expectations and we are prepared for stronger interest in the coming season,” Jim said.

While predominantly used to assist post-emergent and residual control of broadleaf weeds in winter cereals, Grindstone also enhances partner herbicide efficacy of woody weeds including African boxthorn, blackberry, lantana, sweet briar and wattle in fallows, grass pastures and noncrop situations, as well as cereals.

Jim said, again, the ability to adjust rates of metsulfuron and picloram herbicides with Grindstone was a benefit for these situations, plus using it in tank mixes with herbicides containing triclopyr.

Adam Altmann, Agronomist with Pursehouse Rural at Gunnedah in Northern New South Wales, is very impressed with Grindstone. It has been included in tank mixes against a range of broadleaf weeds in wheat grown on heavy black soils near Tambar Springs, and while Adam was impressed with its knockdown ability, he also was particularly excited about the residual control it

offered for growers.

Grindstone has been mixed with different herbicide partners and compared with other standard broadleaf tank mixes applied at the GS25 crop growth stage, targeting black bindweed, wireweed and some sowthistle and fleabane.

Adam said sowthistle and fleabane were the main broadleaf “culprits” throughout the region and the additive control provided by tank mixes containing Grindstone was a “step up” over the other herbicide mixes.

“It has definitely improved the broadleaf control, however the residual control it offers into summer fallows for this region is a big winner and also the reason we are excited about it,” Adam said.

“Due to the amount of cotton grown in the area, in summer we can struggle to use herbicides like 2,4-D. As a result, the aim is to minimise the reliance on knockdown control of these weeds in summer fallows, and Grindstone can help us achieve that.

“Growers can use a higher rate to improve the residual control and still have good plantback ability into a cereal crop or sorghum.”

He expected popular tank-mix partners with Grindstone could include MCPA as well as Picoflex® in-crop and in conjunction with Palmero® herbicide for fallow residual.

For further information on using the herbicide tank-mix partner, Grindstone, growers can contact their local ADAMA Australia representative or visit ADAMA.com.
