Mendooran shaken by earth tremor The small community of Mendooran was momentarily rattled by a mild earthquake last week.

by LIZ CUTTS Geoscience Australia recorded the epicentre of the magnitude 3.3 t r emor ju s t we s t o f the town in the early morning of Monday, 7 July, at a depth of 7 kilometres. Apparently, it was enough to cause a noticeable rumble and some light vibrations.

W h i le no damage has been reported, the unexpected jolt caught residents by surprise, with 23 tremor reports recorded by Geoscience Australia. Nearby towns including Gi lga nd ra , D u nedo o a nd D ubbo felt the tremor’s effects, with locals reporting light shaking and rattling windows.

This incident follows on from a significant magnitude 5.2 quake which struck in T he Marra area near Ny n g a n on 2 4 M ay, followed by aftershocks

measuring 4.2 and 3.6.

Author ities have confirmed there is no cause for concern, but s m a l l t r em o r s s u c h a s t h i s one a r e not uncommon in inland parts of NSW. Coonabarabran physicist A ndre Phillips said this tremor was one of many intra-plate earthquakes that happen from time to time. “ This type of earth movement can happen more or less randomly a l mo st a ny wher e i n Australia,” he said. “ However, a s t h i s particular tremor wa s s h a l l ow it wa s more likely to be felt.

When they are deeper, say 5 0 k i lomet res underground, you are not s o l i kely t o fe el them. “ However, th is movement was def i n it ely felt a nd I suspect it was actually

a good china cabinet rattler, but because it was in the early hours of the morning it would not have woken up too many people.”

Mr Phillips said this ear thquake does not indicate an increase in seismic activity across t he We s t e r n P l a i n s region.

“People tend to forget t h at e a r t h t r e m o r s are happening all the time,” he added.

“With the advances in technology they are being recorded more efficiently and people a r e r e p o r t i n g t hem almost immediately. In the past, earth tremors were not repor ted nearly as often as they are these days. “ S o , c u r r e nt l y, there is a common perception that there are more earthquakes happening, but there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that they are, in fact, happening

any more or less frequently.”

Geoscience Australia said it is important for members of the public to report earth tremors to their website be c ause these f i r st h a nd a c c ou nt s help scientists accurately m ap a nd a s s e s s t he extent and impact of seismic events.

Public reports provide valuable d at a t h at may not be captured by monitoring equipment alone, particularly in remote or less densely populated areas. This in formation helps improve the accuracy of earthquake location and intensity estimates, contributes to a better understanding of seismic activ ity in Australia, and u lt i m at ely supp or t s efforts to enhance public sa fety and preparedness.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Re: Kodi Brady’s letter, 10 July I acknowledge that Kodi’s proposal for a memorial for Max and Sam in Neilson Park may appeal to many.

My objecting to this site is clear and sincere.

All my working life has been in C oonaba rabra n. For 2 0 yea rs it was my privilege to assist families dealing with death, bereavement and mourning – sometimes like this, in tragic circumstances.

A s indiv iduals, whilst we may differ in our opinion, I believe respect, kindness and wisdom needs to guide us in our actions.

My sincere thanks.

Yours etc., Terry Tighe Coonabarabran 2357 (15.07.2025) Our national parks are for everyone Living in regional NSW, we’re blessed to have world-renowned national parks right on our doorstep. From the UNESCO-listed Blue Mountains to the Snowy Mountains and the Warrumbungles.

However, these parks do more than protect our pristine environment, they’re a crucial outlet for tourists and families to escape into nature at an affordable price. From camping, fishing and hiking to exploring 4WD tracks, these parks are crucial for people and families looking to get away.

While for decades this has remained a relatively affordable pastime for people from all walks of life, a recent proposal by the NSW Government could put this quintessentially Australian pastime out of reach.

A recent consultation paper proposes drastically increasing camping fees – some by up to 600 per cent – in most of the state’s 365 national park campgrounds, putting at risk what has long been an affordable holiday option for NSW families. This is simply unacceptable, and the NSW Nationals have taken a strong stand against it.

• ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY •

That’s why I’ve teamed up with filmmaker and camping advocate, Michael Atkinson – aka ‘Outback Mike’ – to sponsor an ePetition to Parliament calling for these changes not to go ahead.

The petition, which has more than 12,000 signatures already, also calls for the Government to increase the number of campsites to meet the demand, rather than restrict access to the highest bidder.

You can find the petition on the Legislative Council ‘ePetitions open for signature page’ if you’d like to support it.

NS W ta x payers have pa id for the acqu isition, i nvestment a nd maintenance of these lands for decades upon decades, so it’s only right they should be able to access them for a range of activities where appropriate.

What’s most galling about these cha nges is that I have recently uncovered, through Parliamentary processes, that the NSW Government h a s sp ent a l mo st $ 3 0 0 m i l l ion expanding the national parks’ estate by 800,000 hectares in just five years.

Expanding our parks is pointless if we can’t care for what we already have, or if rising costs lock out ordinary people. No one wants to camp at a ground overrun with thistles, or walk along a trail ransacked by pigs, especially not at the prices being proposed in this new model.

As someone who has enjoyed national parks right across Australia, I know how important it is that everyone has the chance to explore these special places. That’s why I’ve sponsored this petition and will continue to push against the proposal as it progresses.

Big splash ahead for Coona pool Coonabarabran Swimming Pool re-development plan to be unveiled.

War r umbungle Shire Council will vote today, T hu r sday, 17 J u l y, o n t wo m a j o r items set to shape the f ut u re of s w i m m i ng faci l ities across the Shi re, incl uding the draft Masterplan for the Coonabarabran town pool and proposed opening dates for the 2025/26 season.

At the heart of the Ordinary Meeting is a decision on whether to p l a ce t h e d r a f t Coonabarabran Swimming Pool Masterplan on public exhibition.

T h e l o n g a nt i ci p ate d d es i g n outlines a complete redevel opment of the pool complex and has an estimated cost ranging between $14.5 million and $16.1 million, depending on the staging scenario adopted.

Developed in consultation with the Coonabarabran Swimming Pool Advisor y Committee and informed by

community feedback, the masterplan p ro p o s e s a s ta g e d redevelopment that would deliver a moder n, accessible a q u a t i c fa c i l i t y to ser ve local and regional users well into the future.

The master plan is broken down into four m a j o r co n s t r u ct i o n stages: • Sta g e 1: s p l a s h park ($2.56 million).

Construction of an interactive water play area with jets, sprayers, tipping bucket, shade structure, fencing and landscaping.

• Sta g e 2 : p o o l s ($5.73 million).

Includes a new solar-heated 25 metre, eight-lane pool with universal ramp access a n d a s ta n d - a l o n e toddler pool, with the existing toddler pool decommissioned.

• Sta g e 3 : s o u t h amenities building ($4.07 million).

New univer sal ly accessible amenities block including family change rooms,

s to rag e and p l ant room.

• St a g e 4 : n o r t h entr y building ($2.17 million).

A complete rebuild o f t h e p o o l’s f r o nt e nt ra n ce fe at u r i n g a kiosk, office, firstaid room, storage and display space for RSL memorabilia.

Council will consider placing the plan on public exhibition for 28 days, with feedback open for a minimum of 48 days and a communit y drop-in session scheduled during the consultation period.

The masterplan outlines three potential staging scenarios, with Scenario 3 identified as the most achievable.

This would deliver the project in t wo stages across th ree years, starting as early as May 2026, pending external funding.

A s y et, n o construction funding h a s b e e n s e cu re d, although Council has already received $19 9, 4 4 0 u n d e r t h e

Resources for Regions program to develop the masterplan and construction plans.

T h e re m a i n d e r of th e red eve l o pm ent would l ikely rely on a m i x of State a n d Federal Government grants, Council funds and possibly loans.

I n the repo r t to Council, officers stressed that having a detailed, shovel-ready master plan would significantly improve t h e S h i r e’ s a b i l i t y to a t t ra ct ex te r n a l funding when grant rounds open.

2025/26 pool season Meanwhile, Council w i l l a l so decide on pool opening and closing dates for the 2025/26 season.

The proposed schedule sees staggered openings to accommodate staff availability and maintenance logistics: • 4 October to 17 A p r i l – C o o l a h , Coonabarabran and Dunedoo; • 18 October to 12 April – Baradine and

Mendooran; and • 25 October to 5 April – Binnaway.

H o w e v e r , Councillors will weigh up a revised option to align Binnaway’s season with Baradine and Mendooran, with staff proposing that this change could be achieved for an a d d i t i o n a l $11,10 0 , covered within Co u n c i l’s ex i s t i n g budget.

Staf f sho r tages, particularly at the start of the season when many casual pool attendants are still at universit y, remain a key factor influencing opening dates across the six Shire pools.

E q u i p m e n t maintenance and weather events have also caused delays in past seasons.

T h e d r a f t masterplan, and pool operations report will be presented at the O rdina r y Meeting of Council tonight in Coolah.

Work begins on new WORD for WORD backup bore Work has commenced on a new backup bore for Baradine, marking a significant step in securing the town’s long-term water supply.

by LIZ CUTTS Warrumbungle Shire Council is undertaking the project to replace t he e x i s t i n g ba c k up bore, which has been assessed as bei ng i n poor condition and at r i s k o f c at a s t r oph i c failure.

T he new b or e w i l l provide vital support t o the ma i n wat ersupply system, ensuring c onti nued rel iabi l ity for residents and businesses, particularly during periods of high demand or emergency.

A comprehensive assessment by Council

revealed that both the main and backup bores ser v ici ng Ba rad i ne were in a deteriorated state, posing a significant risk to the town’s water security.

In response, the Council has prioritised the refu rbishment of the main bore and the replacement of the backup bore.

In the 2023/24 f i n a n c i a l y e a r, t h e Council allocated $530,000 for the refurbishment of the Dunedoo B ore, Baradine Backup Bore, and the Baradine Main B ore. T h is i n itiative

i s pa r t of a br o ader effort to maintain and restore essential water infrastructure across t h e Wa r r u m b u n g l e Shire.

The Baradine bore works are being delivered over two phases, with phase one of the works commencing on 7 July and due for completion on 18 July.

Phase two will be completed between 27 September 2025 to 11 October 2025.

A C o u n c i l spokesperson said that phase one of the works will involve drilling a pilot hole for the bore

dow n t o the desig n dept h of 2 2 0 met r e s b elow s u r f a c e le vel .

Phase two will involve reaming of the bore to size, casing of the bore, bore development and a pump test.

A s pa r t of d r illing works, residents within a 15 0 -metre rad ius of the proposed d r ill sites can expect noise d istu rba nce for the duration of the drilling works. Works will be under taken dur ing construction hours of 7a m- 5pm Mond ay t o Friday and 8am-1pm on Saturdays.

Little wings, big dreams When nine-year-old Winnie Milsom needs specialist care in Sydney, her family doesn’t face the journey alone – thanks to Little Wings, a service that’s changed their lives and many others in rural Australia.

by MOLLY SHANNON At two years old, Winnie Milsom was diagnosed with Ketotic hypoglycaemia.

Ketotic hypoglycaemia is a condition where young children suffer from low blood sugar with the addition of elevated ketones. Symptoms vary, and it can be a scary and confusing disease for both parents and the child.

Winnie requires regular checkups and tests to monitor her condition, which means a lot of back and forth trips to the children’s hospitals in Sydney.

Travelling to these specialist appointments is hard, not only emotionally and financially, but it also means that a lot of time gets sacrificed, which is added strain to families such as Winnie’s.

Organisations like Little Wings has helped to make all the difference in these instances.

Little Wings, which operates in NSW, Queensland and the ACT, is a not-for-profit that offers free air and ground transport for seriously ill children from rural and regional areas. The service ensures families can access life-saving medical treatment in major city hospitals without the financial and emotional burden of long-distance travel.

Libby Milsom, Winnie’s mum, said the service’s support had been life changing.

“It takes the strain off…if it wasn’t for them I’d still be paying an absolute fortune in return flights from Sydney every four weeks, but now we go every 6-12 months,” Libby said.

“When you’ve got kids like Winnie who need specialist care that just isn’t available out here, without Little Wings we wouldn’t be able to get the treatment she needs.

“If we didn’t have it, I’d hate to think where a lot

of kids would be.”

The support they receive extends beyond transportation, with Little Wings often assisting with accommodation, family support and much more.

“Even though my son Rafie is not a patient or a regular flyer, they include him, there’s no outcasts at all,” Libby said, “Every family member, whether it’s the child

receiving the treatment or a sibling, everyone is important.”

Even though hospital trips are hard, Winnie, now aged nine, said she loves flying with Little Wings.

“I look forward to [Little Wings], and I like going to Sydney,” Winnie said, “They make it fun!”

Libby agreed.

“There’s always something there for the

kids. The pilot gets out of the plane, walks to the gate, picks up your bag – it’s a whole experience,” Libby said.

“And Tiny Teddies,” Winnie added.

Libby said she is beyond grateful for Little Wings and will continue to advocate for the service.

“They will be a part of our family even when our journey’s finished, and I’ll always raise the

flag, I won’t stop,” she said.

BTN (Behind The News), a popular children’s television program, heard of Libby and Winnie’s story and the work that Little Wings does, and recently organised a day to shoot footage for an episode.

“They filmed down town in Coonabarabran, then we went to our house and the kids were interviewed,” Libby said.

“They just did filming and we thought it was just for NSW – but it’s nationwide!”

Despite the shock of realising they will be appearing on national TV, Libby said she was pleased by the coverage.

“I hope it will raise more support. Little Wings have a plane in NSW and now they’ve got a plane in Queensland for rural kids – like outback Queensland,”

she said.

“That’s why we want to continue to fund raise and raise the flag, so that more families that have a child with a condition can utilise the service.

“If we can put that out there, then one voice is better than none.”

The BTN episode featuring the Milsom family and Little Wings will air on ABC TV on Tuesday, 22 July.

IN FOCUS: FIRST NATIONS ARTISTS To step into the NAIDOC Week Art Exhibition currently on display at SPACE gallery, Coonabarabran, is to step into a living archive – where stories, culture and memory breathe through every canvas.

Daren Dunn Daren Dunn is a proud Gomeroi man whose artwork has been showcased not only all over Australia, but internationally as well.

by MOLLY SHANNON Daren’s family is from Burra Bee Dee and that connection continues to shape both his life and his creative work.

In 2015, Daren won the Artist of the Year at NAIDOC Award, an honour he admits took time to fully appreciate.

“It took me five years to understand what being recognised meant,” Daren said, “I didn’t understand the level of it or the recognition until about five years later – now I carry it.

“Ten years is coming up since I won the award and they want to do something with me, but I’m going home, that’s how I want to celebrate.”

Daren’s creative journey began at school, where he drew on whatever materials he could find.

“I was sitting in Dubbo High, drawing stars everywhere – pencils, chewing gum under the table, I’d just draw stars everywhere.

“Because that was the knowledge, the first knowledge that I was taught from my aunties and Mum was the Mirii Star Knowledge.”

Art and storytelling have always been a part of Daren’s life – watching his mother and aunties creating art wherever they went are memories that have stuck with him.

“We used to go on holidays with my aunties…they would draw stuff in the sand and the water and on the rocks,” he said, “They’d get sand together and rocks and break it up and then they’d draw these symbols and I’d say, ‘Aunt, why are you doing the three circles and dots around?’ And she’d say, ‘Son, son, that’s your Mirii, that’s your star’ – so that was embedded into me.”

Daren wasn’t always an artist, his first career was rugby league playing for the Penrith Panthers.

He stayed with the team for three years before moving back to Dubbo, but that wasn’t the last of his involvement with the NRL. In 2015 Dunn was given the opportunity to design the jerseys

for the Indigenous Round.

He invested a great deal of effort into the project, wanting to ensure he was staying true to the team’s roots.

“Steve ‘Bear’ Hall worked on the jerseys with me, he was my main motivator in all the artwork and sports,” Daren said, But jerseys aren’t the only sporting equipment he has painted.

He has been commissioned to paint a range of equipment including but not limited to footy boots, cricket bats and golf bags.

It is clear that his passion is telling stories through his art – which he wants to share with the world.

He said his passion comes from the knowledge of the land passed down from his aunties.

“Inspiration comes from the importance of where we live, our land values.

“The mountain inspires me. Fork Mountain inspires me because that’s my mother’s playground, and all the significant animals from Fork Mountain, that’s my inspiration.

“I take my hat off to them two young people – Paige Dowd and Maaruma-Li, and Brandon from the Local Aboriginal Lands Council – they inspire me,” he said.

Daren’s art is often inspired by the stories passed down and the knowledge he holds, with one motif often featured in his art.

“There’s seven circles – they’re not meeting places, they’re stars.

They’re the connection to the Seven Sisters,” he said.

In this current NAIDOC Week exhibition, Daren has several paintings on display, all sharing knowledge and connection to the Gomeroi land.

Each artwork measures 1.2 metres by 90 centimetres, however, the artworks are not for sale because, for the artist, the legacy he wants to leave isn’t about money.

“My legacy doesn’t mean sell a painting for $2 million – my legacy is keeping Dhiriya Gamil alive.”

Keith Hinton Tell me a bit about yourself and your connection to Country? My mother’s Gamilaroi and my father was a Wanaruah. I was born on this Countr y, Gamilaroi. I lived at Burra Bee Dee until I was five, then I came to Coonabarabran when I started school. I left school here when I was going on 16.

The whole family decided to move to Sydney. I lived there for about 20 to 25 years. I’ve been back in Coona for about 33 years.

How did your creative journey begin? I never painted until I came back to Coonabarabran.

When I came back, I started TAFE to finish my HSC. While there we had professional art teachers come in and we got to know about crafts, painting, dyes and Aboriginal art. A lot of them used books, but I wouldn’t do that. I never copied out of a book – I painted how I felt.

What inspires your work? Are there particular stories, symbols or cultural meanings in your work you’d like to share? My style is dots and doing circles, and putting culture and meeting places on them.

Lately, I’ve been putting my Wanarua on there – which is the eagle feather and that’s my token.

And also my Gamilaroi token, which is the goanna.

So I put both tokens in my art now. Mainly a river in between, with a snake twirled around them holding the two cultures together.

If I think of something and I’ve got it in my head, then I’ve got to go and put it on canvas. It’s sort of like dreaming, it’s in your head.

When I meet one of my mates, John Corby for a coffee on a Tuesday, he asks, “what are you going to do?” and I say, “I haven’t done nothing. I’ve got this bloody painting in my head and I’ve got to get it out because if I don’t, it’s just going to keep coming back and I’m going to lose it”.

So once it’s in my head, then I’ve got to put it on canvas. It’s just like a photo in my mind and I can see it – so I might as well go and paint it.

Can you describe the style or techniques you use in your artwork? I don’t do traditional stuff. My art is sort of contemporar y – I like colours and putting colours together. My focus is in dots. I like doing dot art, each dot painting comes out of mainly central Australia or from around that area. Coonabarabran’s got a knack for doing dot paintings.

Of course, I have a little trick too. I usually have a couple of dots that have little spikes on them, so when you touch it, it usually pricks you. They’re so you don’t touch the painting!

I spray them with a top coat. I was taught that years ago, to protect the painting and to protect the paint. If you put a couple of coats on it protects the painting and the painting will go on to last 50 to 60 years or more.

What does it mean to you to exhibit your work during NAIDOC Week? This is the first time I’ve displayed it here in Coona. After TAFE I became a caseworker, then I was selling a lot of my paintings in Sydney. While doing that I was also involved in the Environmental Education Centre with Jane Judd out at the Warrumbungles.

On Fridays, Jane had school kids from other towns come over to Coona and I taught them how to do Aboriginal paintings. That’s where my craft comes from, out there doing it with them.

How does this year’s NAIDOC theme resonate with your art? There was no NAIDOC Week back when I was a kid. Back then, you didn’t know much about your culture, because we weren’t taught that at school and we weren’t taught it in the home either, because they weren’t allowed to do that.

You had to be different and you had to be what other people wanted you to be. And that’s white society, but it’s better now than it was.

There were a lot of activists like Charlie Perkins and I always said they were radicals, but now, as I get older, I appreciate what they did back then. But now we can protest and we’re allowed to protest.

They were protesting back then, like the Tent Embassy down there in Canberra. To me, when I was growing up, they were the same age as me, they were activists. And thank God we had them there, because now it gives us more freedom, or our kids more freedom to take on the Aboriginal identity.

Can you tell me about one of your featured pieces in this exhibition? I finished the one with Ukerbarley and the grass tree last week. I haven’t been to Ukerbarley since I worked with Jane Judd. I was good friends with Milton too and they took me out there once and showed me their property.

I was fascinated, you know, that Aboriginal people lived on that area. It’s only about five kilometres out of Coona with a valley, grass trees and two mountains that run either side like a ravine.

There’s a stream that runs through it – it’s a beautiful place.

I recently went back out there a couple months ago and I saw this big grass tree out there and all of a sudden that got in my head. It took me about three to four weeks to get the image out of my head and it took me about seven or eight days to paint.

T h ey ta ke a l o ng t i m e to d o beca use th e dots have to be prefect. You don’t splash dots everywhere, they have to be in unison, they need to form a pattern and when you stand back you can see the circles. The circles represent being on Country.

How have Elders, family or other artists influenced your work? They’ve influenced me in a lot of ways, like rights and the ‘Yes’ vote we lost. That would have been good if we’d got it.

NAIDOC was not back there when I was a young boy. Now it’s here, and a lot of kids are getting into that sort of stuff. Even a lot of little white kids are there too.

We come in a lot of colours now. Like we are marr ying into other cultures and we’ve got all colours – we have black, brown, yellow, white, which is good, but they’re still proud to say they’re Aboriginal. And that I like, that inspires me.

What would you like visitors to take away from this exhibition? That’s what’s good about Aboriginal paintings – they’re all different. We’ve all got different interpretations of different stories.

I’ve got a couple of paintings down there, like the Southern Cross – it’s over near Ukerbarley. Alongside of it I’ve got Burra Bee Dee, which is where I grew up, or where I come from, and we still use Burra Bee Dee out there.

So we’ve all got different ideas and we’ve got different stories for ourselves. I want people to look at my art and see what comes out for them.

IN FOCUS: FIRST NATIONS ARTISTS To step into the NAIDOC Week Art Exhibition currently on display at SPACE gallery, Coonabarabran, is to step into a living archive – where stories, culture and memory breathe through every canvas.

Craig Ashby Emerging local artist, Craig Ashby has made a powerful debut, exhibiting his art at the NAIDOC Week SPACE Art Exhibition, alongside numerous other Indigenous artists.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY With the f i rst few paintings marked as sold within minutes of the doors opening, it was a clear testament to the deep resonance his work had with the community.

Craig has had a longstand ing passion for art and its ability to interpret culture.

Over the past s e ven mont h s , w it h the encouragement of friends and family, Craig decided to take the leap and create a personal collection of artworks reflecting his personal ex per iences g r ow i ng up as a Euahlayi and G a m i l a r oi m a n a nd those of his Elders. “ I have never kept paintings. I have always been hesitant,” Craig said.

“I’ve always thought my work was not good enough, but I always had that desire to do up a big collection and exhibit.

“NAIDOC has given me the opportunity to exhibit with other artists – so it wasn’t as daunting as doing it on my own.”

Craig’s uncertainty was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from the community. “ I wa nt e d t o t e s t where people were at mentally, in terms of wh at they ex p e c t of Indigenous art,” he said.

F i nd i n g a u n iq u e style whilst maintaining

cultural accuracy was a delicate process.

“I wanted to create a style that is totally foreign. It’s a contemporary style of expressing culture.

“With all the pieces, I’ve tried to give people an oppor tunity to learn something about Indigenous culture.

Craig has achieved just that, showing the i nt er ac t ion b et we en the land, spirituality and cultural practices through his art. “ The paintings are based on love, knowledge, sharing and caring for the land.

“I haven’t noticed it until now, but a lot of those paintings are quite matriarchal in a sense.

“Although I’m a male, I’m painting these stories because I was raised by my g randmother and aunties. Those were the experiences shared with me as a kid, like going fishing with my aunties and grandmother. “ It fits in with our culture as well, because ou r trad itions a nd culture are all based on our mother, so they’re quite matriarchal in a sense.”

Craig’s journey with his ar t has been a personal one, expressing his relationship with his spirituality.

‘There is one personal painting in the collection – ‘Two Worlds’ – which is me open i ng up t o

ever yone a nd say i ng ‘this is Christianity, this is my Aboriginality’, and I’m trying to bring both together.

“Sometimes they don’t fit together.”

The piece is a reflection on Craig’s belonging to both Aboriginality and Christianity, showing how the two worlds can come together.

“Often, you experience this feeling that things just work out and piece t o g e t h e r p e r f e c t l y.

Things can coexist. It’s taken the knowledge from both traditions and uses that k nowledge respectfully.”

Craig shared that he must have a personal connection with each piece he creates. “ They have to have meaning and I need to connect, because some of them you spend hours trying to portray the st or y i n a way t h at makes sense to you,” he said.

“Others may perceive it in a di fferent way f r om t hei r d i f fer ent experiences. “ T he a r tworks a re a n oppor tun ity for I nd igenous and nonIndigenous people to further understand the profound significance of culture and ensure we preserve it for the future.

“It’s about capturing that memory, experience, those names of people and not letting their stories go.

“It stays with us. It lives with us. It breathes.

It’s a living thing.”

Ensuring he strikes t he c o r r e c t b a l a n c e o f s h a r i n g c u lt u r a l exper iences wh i lst respecting where that k nowledge has come from is an integral factor in Craig’s work.

“I’ve been respectful to the people who gave me the k nowledge.

There are some stories there that Elders have given me, so it is their k n o wl e d g e t h at I ’m sharing. “ S o I ’ve g ot t o b e respectful in the way I tell that story, ensuring that I respect their name and their knowledge.”

Craig said the NAIDOC Week e x h i b it i o n p r o v id e d a unique opportunity for the community to i m mer s e t hems elve s in the shared cultural significance. “ It is the love of cultural expression in one place during this week that is qu it e special. “ It ’s g iven u s a pl at for m t o e x pr e s s ourselves, our country, share stor ies and be present.”

By celebrating NAIDOC Week through the exhibition, Craig said we are “ keeping that voice, that story, alive, so that people can learn it, share it, embrace it and express it however they want.”

He hopes that his art and the stories behind each piece invite open conversation, providing an opportunity for people t o lea r n mor e ab out their heritage and for others to understand the embedded interconnection between

Tell me a bit about yourself and your connection to Country? I am a proud Gamilaroi woman, born and raised in Coonabarabran. I have strong family ties and have grown up on Country, receiving knowledge from many local people and Elders from a young age. Much of my cultural story sharing has come from my Grandmother, a local Elder and my father who, for many years, documented and learnt the land and sites of the Pilliga and Warrumbungles.

I was taught to share our beautiful culture from the Warrumbungles to Burra Bee Dee. How did your creative journey begin? Creativity has always been a significant part of my life. At the age of 17, I completed my first Indigenous art piece, but it wasn’t until about five years ago that I re-ignited my passion for storytelling through art. I truly relish every creation I make.

What inspires your work? With each piece I paint, I weave a unique narrative that reflects my connection to our ancestors and the beautiful generations that preceded us. Each artwork tells its own story, allowing me to share the rich history and culture that has shaped who we are today.

What does it mean to you to exhibit your work during NAIDOC Week? It’s incredibly meaningful to share my art with my community. Connecting

our country and Indigenous culture.

“I just hope that people read the stories [about each artwork],” Craig said.

“I hope they take a little bit of that knowledge away with them, and maybe even do a little

bit more research around the native grasses, the different locations or geographical features that I’ve mentioned in those paintings, “So, just learning about the importance of those spaces and protecting and sustaining Country.”

through creativity allows us to celebrate our shared heritage and foster a sense of belonging.

What role does art play in keeping culture alive and connecting with the community? My art embodies pride and conveys cultural knowledge through vibrant colours, creating a pathway for conversations about Aboriginal culture and its rich traditions. Each piece invites dialogue and exploration, fostering a deeper understanding of our heritage. As long as conversations and sharing are happening, our culture will always remain strong.

How have Elders, family or other artists influenced your work? The life experiences I’ve shared with my uncles, aunties, and grandmothers have profoundly influenced my artistic expression. Their stories and wisdom shape both the subjects I choose and the way I approach my paintings, making each piece a reflection of our shared journey.

What would you like visitors to take away from this exhibition? I hope that people take a moment to truly immerse themselves in each piece, discovering the stories that lie within. I encourage visitors to look beyond their current understanding of Aboriginal culture, to ask questions, and to engage with respect. Together, let’s celebrate the beauty of our country and its rich cultural heritage.

Winter racing returns this weekend...

With free entry, six races and live entertainment rolling into the evening, this year’s Coonabarabran Winter Race Meet is shaping up to be a great day out. Ahead of this Saturday’s event, the Coonabarabran Times caught up with Coonabarabran Jockey Club secretary, Lindsay Hawkins, to talk all things preparation, partnerships and what punters can expect trackside.

What can racegoers expect from this year’s Winter Race Meet?

A fantastic free (yes, entry is free) day of racing with horses, trainers and jockeys from across the western district and further afield.

Coona Netball Association will be running a full bar, Rotary will be cooking steak and sausage sandwiches and, of course, the TAB and book makers will be on course.

We have a six-race program again this year and a trial race at the end of the day. The famous Col Hodges is booked in for calling duties More live entertainment for the day will follow the races at the Imperial Hotel with Melanie Trapman from 5pm and Disarray from 8pm. The bistro will be open and the fire will be roaring.

How have preparations been going in the lead up to the event? What goes on behindthe-scenes into getting the track and facilities ready for race day?

Preparations are in full swing and we had a working bee last week to ensure the grounds

G’day folks.

The last sitting week in June was an eventful one.

It started on Monday w ith a tr ip on the ha rbour in a NSW Marine Rescue Launch, followed by Budget Day on Tuesday, then a visit from secondary student leaders on Wednesday, getting an amendment t o the G over n ment ’s Industrial Relations bill agreed to and starting a new Parliamentary F r iendsh ip g roup on Thursday, and committee meetings on Friday.

T he n , I wa s b a c k out on the road again.

This time out to Cobar, Bourke, Brewarrina and Nyngan, on the road with the Minister for Water, Housi ng a nd Menta l Health, Rose Jackson, meeting with councils and checking out local wat er a nd housi ng infrastructure.

Marine Rescue launch As the co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Aquatic Recreation, it was good to catch up with Alex Barrell, Commissioner of NSW Marine Rescue, who I once worked with when I was a civilian administrator in the NSW Police.

Alex had invited me to come out on Sydney Harbour aboard one of Marine Rescue’s newest lau nches a long w ith some other members of parliament.

R e c e n t l y, M a r i n e Rescue has also taken delivery of f lood boats which can be quickly deployed to help with inland flood emergencies.

These trailered boats are built with a shallow d ra f t t o negotiate f loodwaters and bow doors to allow the craft to beach and take on or off load people and supplies.

are in the best possible condition at this time of the year.

The grass has been mowed, the stables cleaned, our jockey rooms ready, TV's have been tested, the coolroom is on and the barriers are in place for the first race.

The committee is extremely lucky to have Kerry Vallette on board who works tirelessly year round to keep our racing surface in tip-top condition. Unknown hours are spent watering, mowing, fertilising and so on, not just the track, but all of our turf. Our committee are extremely hands on and give 110% year round.

The partnership between the CJC and the Imperial Hotel seems solid. Can you tell me about what this type of support means to the Club and your event program?

Our relationship has always been great with the Imperial Hotel, but over the last couple of years it has gone to a new level.

The Imperial is the sole sponsor of our Winter Race Meet and major sponsor of the Coonabarabran Cup in October (Sunday, 26

Budget wrap up The NSW State Budget was brought down in the last sitting week in June and, overall, it was good news for the Barwon electorate.

There was a $21 million increase in the electorate spe c i f ic spend i ng i n Barwon, bringing the total past the $1 billion mark for the first time, which is a record.

A mong the notable items was the $15 million for the R oya l F ly ing D o c t or S er v ic e , $1 2 million to upgrade the Emergency Department at Broken Hill Hospital, and $9.8 million for a new Broken Hill Fire Station.

Some smaller, b u t n o l e s s w o r t hy infrastructure projects have also been funded, like the $3 million for effluent ponds at Lake Cargelligo, a project that has been badly needed for some time and the sort of infrastructure that desperately needs more investment in regional areas.

The Government is also providing $6 million over two years to support the Central Darling Shire Council as it comes out of administration and returns to elected councillors.

There were also some big gains for regional areas more generally in terms of the $100 million being spent on biosecurity a nd $ 9. 3 m i l l ion on the Feral Pig and Pest Control Program.

There is also $33.4 million for youth diversionary programs, which is something that I had been talking to the Government about for some time and I had made representations to them about it in the lead-up to the budget.

We h a v e a l r e a d y seen several follow-up

11 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 17 July 2025

announcements of specific funding programs, there will likely be more in coming weeks.

Student Leaders Program E ver y ye a r, the NSW Parliament runs a program for student leaders, inviting them to parliament to meet with parliamentarians and to learn something a b out wh at g o e s on i n the L eg islative A ssembly and the Legislative Council, how the State Government functions and to learn more generally about leadership.

This year, in the last sitting week in June, we had students from Dunedoo Central School, Lake Cargelligo Central School, Nyngan High School, Condobolin High School Warren Central School and Gilgandra High School.

It is one of the highlights of my year to meet and g r e et st udent s f r om Barwon and to answer questions, along with other parliamentarians, in a special question-andanswer session.

T h e r e a r e a l w ay s some thought-provoking questions f rom the students and the members of parliament all lay aside their political differences to impart some of what they have all learnt from their time in office as elected representatives as well as recounting what motivated them to stand for election.

A s a special treat, I i nv it e d a l l o f t he students f rom my electorate to lunch at Strangers Restaurant in Parliament, something I hope to do w ith subsequent school leaders who visit. We had some great discussions over lunch – about aspirations, about leadership and also

October 2025).

Adam, Sam and the team at the Imperial are fantastic, hosting post-race entertainment in July and October.

We also hold the Calcutta at the pub on the Saturday preceding the annual Coona Cup and, of course, it’s a great place for meals and accommodation for locals and our visiting guests year round.

Have you seen strong nominations from trainers and jockeys this year? Any local contenders we should be keeping an eye on?

We have great nominations as of Tuesday, 15 July, with 101 horses nominated from across the western district and further afield.

Local trainers Wayne Martin, Graeme Brooker and Graham Watts all have horses nominated.

Final fields and jockeys will only be known post printing of the Coona Times, but we expect a great turn out of horses, trainers and jockeys.

At our April races, Coonabarabran Jockey Club received really positive feedback from a couple of trainers with comments such as:

about food (the steak was the popular menu choice).

I want to than k the students for their company, I also want to thank them for taking on the role of leaders for their peers and I wish them every success for the future. Maybe someday we w i l l see them as leaders in Parliament.

Workers Compensation Bill During the sitting week I successfully amended t he G over n ment ’s Industrial Relations Bill on workers’ compensation.

It is widely believed that the best way to reduce pressu re on workers compensation premiums, is to reduce the number and severity of workerscompensation claims.

My amendment will r e q u i r e S a f e Wo r k NSW to work across the Government to identify industries, professions and even workplaces that need more focus and attention.

My amendments mean there will be six-monthly repor ti ng on cla ims, Improvement Notices and Prohibition Notices by SafeWork NSW. I want to thank Minister Sophie Cotsis for understanding what I was trying to achieve for NSW workers and agreeing to support my amendments into the Government’s Bill.

T his amendment supports my amendments ea rl ier th is month requiring a review of the Workers Compensation System two years after the assent of the Bill.

Parliamentary Friends of Men’s Sheds While parliament was still in session I convened the inaugural meeting of the Parliamentary Friends of Men’s Sheds, which will support the amazing work done by the network of Men’s Shed’s across the state.

In Barwon there are dozens of Men’s Sheds, places where blokes can work on me a n i ng f u l projects in the company of other men.

Every Men’s Shed is di fferent. S ome offer

men the chance to brush up on traditional skills such as woodworking, some manufacture arts and crafts, some work on community projects like helping to rebuild things in the community after disasters, but they are all designed to work on the physical and mental health of those who come to work at the shed.

T he Parliamentar y Friends of Men’s Sheds will allow sheds around the state to showcase some of the work they are doing to Members of Pa rl iament a nd raise awareness of the positive effect that Men’s Sheds have on mental health. It will also be an opportunity to raise money for the sheds to ensure that the good work they do can continue into the future.

Coonamble greyhounds Coonamble has a long history of g reyhound racing. Their popular October long weekend carnival celebrated 50 ye a r s back i n 2 0 2 3 , which is why it was so bitterly disappointing to hear recently that this year’s carnival has been cancelled by Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW).

What makes it even more disappointing is that they had originally b e en g iven mu lt iple assurances by GRNSW that it would go ahead.

When I first heard, I made contact w ith GRNSW to make it clear the disappointment of both mysel f a nd the Coonamble community and that we disagree with the reasoning behind it.

There has been dubious evidence produced to call into question the safety of the track and to the upgrades demanded to me et G R N S W ’s new track safety and welfare st a nd a rd s that a re prohibitively costly.

I have also spoken to Minister David Harris to make him aware of my deep disappointment and that of the Coonamble community. There may need to be changes in legislation so that both

"The facilities at Coonabarabran are always clean and tidy, by far the best in the district” and “The improvements you continue to make around the grounds are what keep us coming back” (in reference to the new tie-up stalls, improved sound system and reseeded areas of the track)”.

What would you say to encourage locals and visitors to come out and support the Coonabarabran races this Saturday, 19 July?

Firstly, entry is free! Come up for the entire day or pop in to check out a race or two.

Coonabarabran Jockey Club is known as the “Friendliest Raceclub in the Bush” and we welcome everyone.

The races are a great day out to catch up with friends and spend a day in the sun.

Whether you follow horse racing or not, watching and listening to the magnificent thoroughbreds thunder down the home straight is a spectacular sight and the skill of the jockeys is unbelievable – take the opportunity to check it out.

funding for Greyhound Racing NSW and the existence of the sport are tied to its performance in deliver ing more events and growing the industry, rather than merely cutting costs by shutting tracks by stealth and backtrack i ng on

commitments.

I a m conti nu i ng t o work on hav i ng the October carnival reinstated. Community events like Coonamble’s October carnival are too important to lose, we need to ensure that they can continue.

WEATHER WATCH It has been very dry across at least two thirds of the nation, with no rainfall since a north-westerly cloud band moved across on 27 May. Places with no rainfall since the beginning of June include Winton, Camooweal, Barcaldine, Birdsville, Uluru, Alice Springs, Tennant Creek, Elliot, Tindal, Daly Waters, Douglas River, Darwin, Derby, Broome and Giles.

A few areas have had above-average rainfall during June – most of Victoria and along the NSW coast to East Gippsland.

During July, there has been above-average rainfall along the South Coast of NSW, again in East Gippsland, and Busselton, in Western Australia, recorded 89.2mms on 3 July. This was the wettest July day there in over 100 years of records; the previous wettest July day was 85mms on 15 July, 1995.

As a result of these severe, dry conditions around Broome and Derby, the mean-minimum temperatures to date this month were well below normal for July – being four degrees below normal at Broome and just over three degrees below at Derby.

At Broome, the mean-minimum temperature to date this month of 10.7 degrees looks set to equal the previous coldest for July in 1896, or 1929, 1949, 1967, 2002.

At Derby, the mean-minimum temperature to date this month of 10.4 degrees also looks set to equal the previous coldest of 2022, 2002, 1967 and 1896.

The spring season following most of those years listed above were notably warmer than normal across our region, which did extend into the following summer. The heaviest rains were in October and December and again in January.

To date, Perth has had well-below-average rainfall this month, nearly 100mms below the July average. This is the first time since 1894 that Perth has recorded below-average rainfall in each of the first seven months of the year.

The year 1894 was notably a wet one in our region in March and October and also very wet in January of 1895.

The Goldfields region in WA was subject to heavy frosts last Friday, 11 July. Norseman recorded minus 3.8 degrees, the coldest for July since minus 4.0 degrees in 2015 and before that, minus 4.4 in 2005. The old post office records the lowest July temperature was minus 3.1 degrees in 1988.

Cutting loose and turning tight The local community is fortunate to enjoy a wide range of sporting opportunities – some requiring not only skill, but an equine partner. From the precision of cutting to the grit of barrel racing, athletes like National Cutting Horse Australia (NCHA) competitor Michael Rapley and Australian Team Roping Association (ATRA) barrel racer Annie Edwards prove that with equal parts determination and consistency, ambitions take shape and success follows.

Annie Edwards: climbing the circuit Local 20-year-old veterinary nurse, Annie Edwards has taken the ATRA barrelracing circuit by storm, leading Division One in Northern NSW.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY Local 20-year-old veterinary nurse, Annie Edwards has taken the ATRA barrel-racing circuit by storm, leading Division One in Northern NSW. Horses have always been a part of Annie’s life.

As a child, she started out at the Coonabarabran Pony Club, riding at rallies and gymkhanas.

Over the years, she traded the Pony Club uniform for one-day eventing gear and has now settled on jeans and a well-shaped felt hat.

During her final years of high school, Annie began to fall out of love with horse riding, but when she stumbled across the new discipline, her passion for riding rekindled.

“Local photographer, Jess Richards, who was photographing the events at the time, encouraged me to take my horse out to the Tooraweenah Jackpot and enter just for fun,” she said.

“Little did either of us know how addicted I would get!

“I started entering the odd barrel race in 2023 and only began following the circuit and becoming more serious about competing in the last 12 months.”

For Annie, it was the adrenaline rush of the sport that re-ignited her love of riding – and she has no plans to stop anytime soon.

“I think it was the speed that really sucked me in for the long haul!”

With a deep love for her horses, Annie said competiting with them makes each event all the more rewarding.

“I currently run a horse that competes as ‘Cas Bar Clancy’.

“I got Clancy in 2013 when he was two years old and I was just nine.

“We’ve been together ever since, so it’s a special feeling leading the Northern NSW 1D title on my childhood horse.

“Recently, I purchased his half-brother, ‘Cas Bar Cool Eddie’, who I’m planning to start in barrel racing next season.”

Barrel racing has provided Annie with a whole

network of like-minded competitors.

“The ATRA has led me to meet some amazing young women who have really pushed me and my riding to the next level,” she said.

“It’s almost impossible to make it in such a competitive industry without having good support.

“They are the ones who pick you up after a bad run and cheer you loudly on the good ones.

“I travel around with a group of three other girls who make the adventure even more fun – win, lose or draw.”

Annie encourages newcomers to immerse themselves in the ATRA events and community to get a ‘leg up’ in the sport.

“The first step is to simply watch; attend your local rodeos and jackpots to absorb and learn what you can,” she said.

“Connect with people who are already in the industry. Most people are more than willing to lend you a hand and help you along wherever they can.”

In the Northern NSW region, events are typically held monthly at Gunnedah, Tamworth, and Tooraweenah, and Annie would like to see them gain more traction in the coming years.

“I think it would be nice if the ATRA could get a little more recognition, particularly in NSW. “These smaller events are so beautifully run and are amazing weekends away for families and friends to do what they love, but they seem to disappear under the radar a little bit.

“The people who run these events do such an incredible job, so it would be awesome to make more people aware of them and compete at them.”

Annie hopes to throw her hat in the ring for a national title.

“I have qualified for the ATRA National Barrel Racing Finals in Capella, Queensland, which is a 12-hour trip from home, she said.

“No final decisions have been made yet, but I’m hoping to make it up there to compete for a national title.”

Michael Rapley: precision in the pen Binnaway farm manager Michael Rapley made the finals at the 2025 National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) 4CYTE Snaffle Bit Cutting Futurity, held in Tamworth from 25-28 May.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY Competing aboard his three-year-old colt, ‘Mewburn Formula One’, affectionately known as ‘Bob’, Michael entered the Open class, which then qualified him to ride in the Non-Professional section.

The Futurity is Australia’s premier NCHA competition, hosted at the world-class Australian Equine Livestock Centre (ALEC) in Tamworth, and attracts the nation’s top cowhorse competitors.

Michael competed in two rounds, which then went into two final rounds, where he was able to secure fifth place in the NonProfessional class and eighth in the Open class.

The Cutting Futurity is a class open to threeyear-old horses where they showcase their ability to select a prescribed cow from a herd and ‘cut it out’.

The horse and rider are judged on their ability to control a beast, the horse’s ability to read the cow and the style of the run – all in the span of 150 seconds.

The judge then allocates a score between 60 and 80, with 70 being an average score for each run.

Michael praised Bob’s performance over the course of the event.

“He got better and better over the competition. I couldn’t fault him at all,” he said.

“It’s really a recognition of how good the horse is, more than anything. A reflection of his ability.”

Michael purchased Bob as a two-year-old and has trained and competed with him ever

since, achieving incredible results.

“I have shown Bob at several Reined Cow Horse events and placed in all of them,” Michael said “We competed at the Tumbarumba Reined Cow Horse Futurity when Bob was only three, in the four-year-old event.

“He was 12 months younger than his competitors and finished third in the open class and reserve champion in the limited rider.”

Michael commented on Bob’s ability in the showpen.

“He is a very ‘cowy’ horse. He can really read and understand cattle.

“He is a show horse. When you put him into that environment, he seems to step up – the bright lights make him step it up a notch.”

Michael believes it’s his responsibility to showcase Bob’s full potential, rather than having set goals to tick off throughout his showing career.

“I want to show him to his full potential. I don’t have any real goals. It’s more or less to let his ability shine.”

Michael now has his sights set on a few more cutting futurities to finish this season.

“There’s still a run of futurities coming up – we’re hoping to make it to Dalby, Scone and St George later in the year,” he said.

He added that the competitive atmosphere and support from family and friends made the experience at Tamworth especially memorable.

“It was pretty cool. For my last run on Wednesday night, it was as much fun as I have had in a long time competing on a horse.”

Coona Unicorns charging toward finals’ glory With just three rounds left in the 2025 Castlereagh League season, the Coonabarabran Unicorns are galloping toward a top-two finish, after another commanding win and a pivotal clash ahead.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE T he U n i co r n s too k a giant step towards s e cu r i n g a to p - t wo finish when they won a high-scoring contest against the Gulgong Bull Terriers at Gulgong last Saturday, 48 to 30.

N ow s i t t i n g o n 2 9 co m p et it i o n p o i nt s, the Unicorns are firmly entrenched in second place, behind only the undefeated Coo l ah Kangaroos (33 points), and a re poi sed to l o ck i n a s e m i - f i n a l berth. With upcoming games against the Cobar Roosters (home) and the ladderleading Roos (away), Coonabarabran’s form and fate are firmly in their own hands.

T h e C o o l a h Kangaroos, however, would be raging hot favourites to take out the minor premiership after they downed the Narromine Jets 16 to 4 at N a r ro m i n e l a s t Satu rday. T he ‘Roos sit undefeated at the top of the table on 33 co m p et it i o n p o i nt s, w ith al l thei r th ree remaining competition

games to be played on their home turf.

The Gulgong Bull Te r r ie r s, af te r l osi ng to Co o n a b a ra b ra n, currently occupy fourth spot on the ladder with 25 competition points, one point adrift of the Narromine Jets.

Their weekend loss adds greater i m po r tance to thei r local der by game this Saturday against the Dunedoo Swans, w ith the Swa n s o ne of the three sides currently sharing fifth s p o t o n 21 p o i n t s , after they downed the Coonamble Bears 24 to 20 last weekend to stay in the race.

The Bears also sit on 21 points, along with the Coba r Rooster s, who suffered a largely u n ex p e c te d h o m e g round l os s to the Warren Bulldogs, losing 42 to 24,with that result having an immediate impact on their finals’ prospects.

They will have some respite this weekend having the bye, but then have to do battle

with Coonabarabran (away) and Narromine (home).

The Swan’s final three g a m es a l s o fe at u re a last- round bye and, after they play Gulgong this weekend, they will head to Baradine in round 13.

Coonamble have to face up to Baradine (home), Coolah (away) and Gulgong (away).

On the league-tag scene the Coolah Flyers are now in possession of the Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup after they won a cl osel yfought game against the Narromine Jets last Saturday, with the final score being 24 to 18.

This means that the Coolah club will now b e d e fe n d i n g b ot h the Sk inner and the Boronia Challenge Cups this Satu rday when they a re at home to the War ren Bulldogs. With the Bulldogs’ league-tag side currently travelling along quite nicely in fifth position and their first-grade side full of confidence after their b i g w i n ag a i n s t the Roosters last Saturday, both Challenge games shape as interesting affairs.

This weekend, a l l ey e s w i l l b e o n Narromine’s Cale Oval for the match of the ro u n d b et we e n t h e Unicorns and the Jets.

Narromine, currently thi rd on 26 points, w i l l welcome back a couple of their p l a ye r s w h o m i s sed their game against Coolah last Saturday due to suspension and they will be out to close the gap on the co m p et i t i o n l a d d e r between the two sides.

A win to the Jets is c r it i ca l i f th ey’re to keep their hopes of a top-two finish alive, but for Coonabarabran, a win will guarantee them of a second place finish come the end of the competition ro u nd s, i r res pect i ve of their results against Cobar at home in round 13 and Coolah at Coolah in round 14.

However, the main

event i s cl ea r – th e Unico r ns a re on the ma rch and a l l signs poi nt to a th r i l l i ng clash in Na r romine this Saturday that could well define their season.

The Coonamble Bears will be hoping to get back in the winner’s circle when they host the Baradine Magpies, a win being paramount if the want to have any hope of playing in the finals, whilst the same could be said of the Dunedoo Swans in their home game against Gulgong.

On the league tag front, Coolah’s Flyers now hold the Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup after a tight 24–18 win over Nar romine.

T h ey’l l d efen d b oth the Sk inner and the Bao ronia Chal lenge Cups at home this Saturday against the Warren Bulldogs.

Billy Bent Ear retires a winner Amid emotional scenes at the Wean Picnic Races on Saturday, 12 July, Billy Bent Ear, the grand warrior of western area racing, bowed out as a last-start winner.

by COL HODGES At Wea n Pi cn i c meeting, north e a s t of G u n n e d a h , Dubbo-based owner and t ra i ne r, Conn ie Greig was in tears as she an nounced the immediate retirement of Billy Bent Ear following the win by the o l d wa r ho r se i n the feature sprint – the 1000 metres Nandewar Bracelet Trophy Handicap.

Apart from Connie Greig, there were plenty of tears flowing from stable staff and members of the Billy Bent Ear fan club, who are regularly seen at meetings wearing their distinctive shir ts and caps.

In a thrilling charge to the line, Billy Bent Ear ($3), ridden by Todd Bailey, in a three-way photo finish, edged out stablemate Maryland Bridge (Grady Spokes, $10 ) a n d t h e J u l i a Presits trained Hermosa Rosa (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.20 favourite).

Opposing 12-yearold Billy Bent Ear in the seven-horse field were four, five and six-year

old, wel l - per fo r med gallopers.

While the majority of racehorses are retired well before 40 starts, Billy Bent Ear had an incredible 170 star ts and reti red with the imposing record of 20 wins and 51 placings and pr ize money earnings of $294,100.

Going out on top, Billy Bent Ear was the leader on the qualifying point score l a d d e r fo r t h e 110 0 metres $50,000 Picnic Championsh i p F i na l to be held at Dubbo in September, whi le stablemate Blackhill Kitty is the leader fo r th e 14 0 0 m et res $50,000 Final.

Due to compulsory retirement when t u r n i n g 13 yea r s o n 1 Au g u s t, B i l l y B e nt Ear would have been unable to contest the Final.

Bred by Bob Tyack, Billy Bent Ear was born on a freezing day with frost on his ears and later had “Frosty” as his stable name.

D ue to an ea r ly infection, the ner ves were deadened and

one ear became rigid and jutted out, hence the name “Billy Bent Ear” being registered.

Trained at Dubbo by the owner, Bob Tyack, the first win for Billy Bent E a r wa s at Ca r i nda in August 2015, when ridden by Kacie Chater a n d b eat i n g J o n a h Hex and Pretty Relic.

Numerous placings followed, with wins at Dubbo and Parkes TAB meetings when ridden

by Michael Hackett.

W h e n B o b Ty a c k reti red from training he sold Billy Bent Ear to the G reig stable, where Bob had been working for some time.

When reflecting on the career of the ve t e r a n g a l l o p e r, Connie Greig recalled r iding most of the trackwork on Billy Bent Ear, part of her 20 plus tea m, beca use “h e was the quietest horse in the stable”.

“Such a kind-natured horse, more like a kids’ pony, and could have been r idden by a young child,” Connie said.

“I think he was able to have such an

Over the Odds CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Dubbo Races Thursday, 10 July On a winning roll over the past month, local trainer Garry Lunn landed a double with Bonnie And Bruce and Sweet As A kiss at the recent Dubbo meeting.

Backing up four days after running third on a heavy track at Mudgee, Bonnie And Bruce (Siena Grima, $3.60) led throughout to beat the fast finishing Bloomin’ Hell (Georgina McDonnell, $14) and Lagoon (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $19) in the 160 0 metres Maiden Handicap.

The manner in which Sweet As A Kiss won the 2200 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap indicated the three-yearold filly has the potential to make a good stayer.

Two lengths behind the second-last horse at the midway point, Sweet As A Kiss (Siena Grima, $6 to $5.50) produced a powerful finish to win, running away, by over five lengths from the well-performed Interventionist (Jordan Quince, $2.20 favourite) and French Delivery (Mathew Cahill,$13).

Apprentice, Siena Gr ima, who only began race riding in 2024, has already ridden 86 winners and is an outstanding talent.

Dubbo trainer Michael Lunn, the brother of Garry Lunn, won the 1400

metres Benchmark 58 Handicap with the four-year-old chestnut mare, Rich Street.

Leading for home, the heavilybacked Rich Street (Izzy Neale, $12 to $6.50) held off Pappiana (Billy Cray, $8.50) to win by almost a length, with Infinite Prince (Jordan Quince, $4.80 favourite) over three lengths away, third.

Rich Street, Bonnie And Bruce and Sweet As A Kiss are owned by Bronco Lunn, a brother of the winning trainers.

Now apprenticed to Brett Robb at Dubbo after time with stables at Bendigo and Wagga Wagga, Caine Stuart (24) rode a good race to win the 1000 metres Country Boosted Maiden Plate on the Robb trained, Denman Deputy.

At the second sta r t in a race, Denman Deputy ($4.40), after leading, was headed at the top of the straight, however, was kept well balanced by Caine Stuart and fought back to win by a over two lengths from the erratic Rita Red (Josh Richard’s, $10) and The Contractor (Mathew Cahill, $4.10 to $3.20 favourite). xxxx R acing at Coonabarabran this Saturday, 19 July.

incredible number of starts because he was so easy care, with no need fo r add itiona l racing gear and only had minimal visits from the vet.”

Summing up a m e m o ra b l e ca re e r, Connie Greig stated, “ B i l l y B e n t E a r, n o

world beater, but an amazing horse in so many ways and I just love him.”

Hoofnote In 2023, Racing NSW launched an initiative – Equimillion – to give retired racehorses the oppo r tun it y fo r an active and fu lf i l l i ng

future.

Held in Sydney, the cate g o r i e s of fe r i n g substantial pr izes include showing, eve nt i n g , d re s s a g e and showjumping, with the sponsored handlers and riders principally being amateurs and the thoroughbreds at

different stages of retraining for their new life away from racing.

The 2025 Equimillion is planned for the October long weekend and Dubbo Turf Club intend to be the sponsor of Billy Bent Ear and Connie Greig.

Three events boosted osted by Moree Plains Shire ire fund Moree Plains Shire Council has announced the three local events receiving a boost from its Event Partnership Fund for the 2024-25 financial year with $20,000 awarded to bring some amazing experiences to the Moree Plains.

Australian Custom Harvesters (Harvestfest), Moree on a Plate and Tarrawingee Farm (Un Verre Au Coin Du Feu Long Lunch) have shared in $20,000.

Harvestfest 2025 is a two-day industry event hosted by Australian Custom Harvesters at the Moree Showgrounds.

Moree on a Plate 2026 is a food, wine and arts festival featuring over 50 producers from across the region and beyond.

Un Verre au Coin du Feu is a

long lunch-style event. Hosted at Tarrawingee Farm, the event is designed to showcase the best of Moree and the opportunities the region has to offer.

Past events to benefit from the fund include Pally Bush Mega Markets, Run the Plains and Moree Muso’s Night.

Mayor Susannah Pearse said the Event Partnership Fund supports new and growing events that invite visitors to the shire and spark positive economic activity.

“It’s inspiring to see the passion and dedication of our event organisers and committees who make Moree Plains a wonderful place to live, visit, and play,” Cr Pearse said.

is designed to provide partnership funding of up to $10,000 to support a range of local events.

These events have the primary aim of enhancing the amenity,

wellbeing and economic vibrancy of the Moree Plains Shire.

Council has thanked all the individuals and organisations who applied for the program and

encourages event organisers with an idea to bring something new to the shire or expand an existing event to apply in the 2025-26 financial year.

Four teenagers arrested after Taking a stance against aggravated break and enter illegal tobacco, vapes

Police news

Congratulations and much support to Warrumbungle Shire Council for taking action June 26, 2025 against illegal tobacco and vapes in the Warrumbungle council community.

Warrumbungle council, in partnership with NSW Police and NSW Health took definite and proactive action against this scourge in our community.

A scourge, which blatantly pronounces and displays itself right in front of councils throughout North West NSW, who take no action on behalf of concerned residents, who want action to protect community youth, in particular.

Often times, these so called tobacco shops are nothing more than a front for illicit tobacco, black market vapes and other illicit substances coming in and out

Four teenagers have been arrested following an aggravated break and enter at a home in Moree.

Police were called to a home on Boston Street, Moree, about 5:30am on Monday, July 7, after four people – one allegedly armed with a box cutter – forced their way inside.

An 83-year-old woman, who was the only occupant in the house, was threatened and knocked to the ground.

The four people then ran from the house.

Officers attached to New England Police District and NSW Ambulance paramedics attended the scene.

The woman was treated by paramedics and taken to hospital for further treatment.

the back door.

These so called tobacco shops are stealthily establishing themselves with their dark footprint in town after town, positioning themselves as a legitimate business welcomed with open arms, in some cases, by town business chambers.

Very poor judgement indeed, by some business leaders, as it is like welcoming a potential social cancer into the community.

Like the concerned citizens, who instigated law and order petition recently, I urge the community to do the same against masquerading tobacco shops, who are nothing more than a front for illicit black market tobacco products, vapes and other substances.

She was later released with minor injuries.

Following inquiries by police, four teenagers, ranging in age from 12-years-old to 14-yearsold, were arrested and taken to Moree Police Station.

A 12-year-old boy and a 13-yearold boy have been dealt with under the Young Offender’s Act. A 13-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy will be charged with breach of bail and aggravated break and enter offences.

Woman charged over alleged break and enter in Mendooran A woman will face court over an alleged break and enter in the state’s west last year.

In January 2025, officers attached to Rural Crime Prevention Team (RCPT) and Orana Mid-Western Police District established Strike Force Compartment to investigate break

and enter offences in the Orana Mid-Western area in December 2024.

In December 2024, a rural property on Castlereagh Highway, Mendooran, was subject of a break, enter and steal. Among the items stolen were 13 firearms.

Police have charged two men – aged 29 and 31 – in Mendooran and Dubbo areas since they commenced the investigation.

Following further inquiries, about 11.10am on Monday, July 7, strike force detectives arrested a 20-year-old woman on Boothenba Road, Dubbo.

She was taken to Dubbo Police Station where she was charged with aggravated break and enter dwelling etc in company steal less than or equal to $60,000.

She was granted conditional bail to appear at Mudgee Local Court on Wednesday, July 30.

Inquiries under Strike Force Compartment continue.

Bellevue Pastoral Company a success story in renewed AgSkilled program A state government-backed program aimed at growing the agriculture and horticulture workforce has been extended for a further 12 months.

AgSkilled is administered under the NSW government’s Smart and Skilled program, with agriculture as a priority sector. Training Services works with identified agricultural industry representatives to improve agricultural productivity while embedding innovative and sustainable farming practices.

One of the program’s success stories is Narrabri’s Bellevue Pastoral Company.

Staff have accessed AgSkilled-funded training in everything from first aid to truck licensing and chemical use, improving safety, upskilling workers, and lifting the company’s operational capacity.

“AgSkilled has been a valuable investment in our people and me,” Bellevue Pastoral Company human resources officer Elizabeth Smart said.

“The training has helped improve safety, build capability, and support career development across our team.

“We're seeing the benefits of AgSkilled not just on our properties but in the broader community. It supports productivity and gives our workers confidence and expertise.”

During the past year, the program has enabled training for more than 2300 participants across 188 locations, achieving a 94 per cent completion rate through 768 courses run by 33 endorsed providers, including TAFE NSW. The program is also helping to attract a new generation to the sector, with one in four participants under 25, and one in four being female.

Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, Steve Whan visited Bellevue Pastoral Company last week to announce the program’s extension.

“This $5 million extension means more regional workers can get the training they need to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving agricultural

sector,” Mr Whan said.

“AgSkilled is a great example of how government and industry can work together to strengthen our workforce and grow regional economies.”

Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Regional NSW and Minister for Western NSW, Tara Moriarty said regional communities are at the heart of the state’s economy, and programs like AgSkilled are helping ensure they have the skills to thrive.

“This investment supports the next generation of farmers and producers to adopt sustainable and innovative practices, while also creating real career opportunities for people in regional NSW,” she said.

First section of Gwydir Highway Walgett’s Harry Phillip Hall improvement works completed honoured as Elder of the Year

Motorists will benefit from safer, smoother and more reliable journeys on the Gwydir Highway west of Moree with the first section of improvement work now completed.

The NSW government provided $2.4 million to upgrade a section of the highway near Browns Creek to increase safety and network resilience.

The work, carried out by Transport for NSW, included widening the road and upgrading two kilometres of pavement as well as repairs to five culverts.

Transport for NSW acting regional director west Holly Davies said these improvements were a win for motorists, visitors and freight operators who rely on this key east-west link.

“Safety on NSW roads is our number one priority and the work completed on the Gwydir Highway delivers improvements where they’re most needed,” Ms Davies said.

“Crews only stopped for

seven days due to wet weather since the work started in March and they’ve done a fantastic job getting the work completed on schedule.

“Widening and upgrading the pavement ensures a much smoother and safer trip for motorists.

“The drainage improvements will allow the highway to better cope with heavy rain and flooding events, reducing closure times and traffic impacts which means we can keep locals, tourists and freight operators moving.

“Further to this, the work will reduce maintenance and repair costs and the subsequent delays for motorists who travel on this corridor every day.

“Road users travel long distances in regional NSW and important upgrades such as this help to ensure they make it safely to their destination.”

Further upgrades and repair work will take place at this location later this year.

Gomeroi and Euahlayi man Harry Phillip Hall, of Walgett, has been honoured as the Elder of the Year in the national NAIDOC Week awards.

The winners were announced on July 5 at the National NAIDOC Awards Ceremony in Perth, ahead of NAIDOC Week celebrations across the country.

Uncle Harry was born in a segregated blacks only labour ward at Walgett District Hospital on December 18, 1946, and raised on a riverbank with no running water, sewerage, or electricity.

He is the last remaining survivor from Walgett that assisted the Freedom Ride to overcome racism that existed in the Walgett Aboriginal Community. This was a very important event that changed the course of history and gave the homeland of the Gomeroi and Euahlayi Peoples an opportunity for them to move on from the burden of racial discrimination.

The same outcome was achieved by the students in other highly populated Aboriginal areas throughout NSW. His employment indigenous affairs spans more than60 years, including his community and consultancy work, New South Wales Aboriginal Lands Trust (conducting state-wide meetings regarding Green Paper on NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act), advisor for the late Charlie Perkins, coordination and the staging of

National NAIDOC Week Male Elder of the Year Harry Phillip Hall.

the NSW annual Aboriginal Rugby League Knockout Carnival (Koori Knockout) for the past 40 years and coordination of the Survival Day concert for a number of years.

Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator Malarndirri McCarthy said this year’s NAIDOC celebrations mark an incredible achievement – 50 years of celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture

through a week of activities.

“There is no better way to recognise the strength, vision and enduring legacy of past generations than by celebrating the achievements of exceptional individuals at the NAIDOC Awards,” Senator McCarthy said.

“I congratulate the finalists and winners for their remarkable achievements and for exemplifying the true essence of NAIDOC Week.”

Because that’s what facts do. They get in the way of wild theories, sensational headlines, and stories that are just too good to be true. And that’s the point.

Real journalism isn’t about chasing clicks or stirring outrage.

It’s about accountability. It’s about getting the story right, not just being the first to talk about it.

It’s about knowing your community and knowing what matters most.

Because when the truth matters, shortcuts don’t cut it.

We believe facts make stories stronger, not weaker.

That’s why everything we publish is grounded in independence, integrity and an unwavering commitment to accuracy and the community we are part of.

Truth isn’t a single person’s point of view.

It’s a responsibility. And it’s one we take seriously.
