Coona apprentice crowned Australia’s best A local apprentice has earned national recognition after taking out top honours in a prestigious trade competition.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY Jack Richards, 20, has won gold in Autobody Repai r at the Wor ldSkills Australia National Championships, held in Brisbane from 12-14 June.

The local apprentice, who works for Sydney Car Restoration in Coonabarabran, competed against Australia’s best young tradespeople over three intense days.

Jack’s trade skills, time management and attention to detail were put to the test during the competition.

WorldSkills is an international program designed to enhance vocational education and training around the globe.

It showcases the skills of young apprentices in a wide range of trades including construction, engineer ing, ar ts, digital technologies and hospitality.

Winning the prestigious gold medal came as a surprise to Jack.

“I was pretty shocked. I didn’t think I had done that well,” Jack said.

Competitors were assessed on tasks such as metal finishing panels, performing sectional repairs on an outer sill panel and body filler repair on a door.

They were also required to remove and replace a door skin, all while managing limited tools and tight timeframes.

Jack said the experience was challenging from start to finish.

“It was pretty intense. I was flat out for the three days – I had to focus on time management,” he said.

“Some of the tools we had to use, I hadn’t used before, which made it difficult.

“But waiting for tools to become available was a challenge.”

Jack credits his success to the strong support he receives at work.

He said his boss, Grant Browan, had been instrumental in his learning journey.

“Grant has always been there when I’ve needed him. He is never too busy to help me learn,” Jack said.

Jack will now represent Australia at the WorldSkills International Championships in Shanghai, China, from 22-27 September 2026.

The competition is the world’s largest vocational skills’ event and will place Jack on the international stage.

“I’m pretty nervous. I’m going to have to do a lot of training, but it will be a really good experience,”.

Mr Browan said he was confident Jack would place in the top three and was proud to see him claim the top prize.

“It was no surprise when he won because he had worked so hard for it. We always knew he would do super well,” Mr Browan said.

“The scope of opportunities that the competition provides Jack spans across borders and oceans.

“It opens up doors all over the world in the coach building industry and the restoration industry.”

Following the competition, Jack has been invited by Car-O-Liner to train on cutting-edge chassis straightening machines at the BKI GROUP in Melbourne.

Confident that Jack will be a strong contender in the international competition, Mr Browan praised Jack’s approach to his trade, saying it sets him apart.

“He has a great work ethic and he knows near enough isn’t good enough. It has to be perfect,” he said.

“I can go away for the week and be confident in knowing he will have the shop running properly.

“It is a big thing and he does it seamlessly.”

Motor Trade Association NSW trainer and assessor, Jacob Hanley, was equally impressed by Jack’s performance.

“What really stood out about Jack was his humility,” Mr Hanley said.

“Despite the pressure of the competition, he stayed focused on doing the best job he could – he handled the stress incredibly well and delivered under pressure.

“Hearing that Jack completed one of the tasks in half the allotted time and scored perfect marks was just amazing.”

Mr Hanley said the competition was a serious test of ability.

“The competition itself was no easy feat,” he said.

“Each state brought forward incredibly talented apprentices, all performing at a very high level.”

“If his performance in Brisbane is anything to go by, he’s on track to achieve something really special on the world stage.”

Looking ahead, Jack hopes to one day run his own workshop.

“It is pretty rewarding when you finish a car and it is perfect,” Jack said.

“You go at your own pace and get it done right.”

While the intention may be admirable, the location may not be the most appropriate.

Illegal tobacco seized in joint crackdown A large quantity of illegal tobacco products has been seized from a Coonabarabran business, following a joint compliance operation led by Warrumbungle Shire Council, the NSW Police Force and NSW Health.

Authorities say the inspection was part of a wider proactive strategy to address the growing number of i l lega l tobacco operations in the north-west region.

D u r i n g t h e inspection, NSW Health officers seized more than 230 cartons of prohibited tobacco, several kilograms of lo ose -lea f t obac c o – common ly k now n as ‘chop chop’ – a nd hundreds of vapes.

Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land Council have a full line-up of events for NAIDOC Week, which will also mark the 50th anniversary of the national event.

Community rallies to honour young boys with permanent memorial A local fundraiser is underway to create a lasting tribute to Max and Sam, the two young brothers whose tragic deaths in early May sent shockwaves through the Coonabarabran community and beyond.

A makeshift memorial, located at the entrance to Tandara Estate on the Oxley Highway, north of Coonabarabran, has recently been relocated to the Yarning Circle in Neilson Park.

Kodi Brady, who was part of the initative, said the move from a temporary space to something more permanent was built around creating a space

that was safer and more accessible.

“In the days and weeks following the boys’ deaths, the community came together in grief and love,” Mr Brady said.

“People placed flowers, toys and messages at a memorial site on Gunnedah Road, and later gathered in the park for a candlelight vigil.”

However, concerns

have been raised about the safety and long-term viability of the roadside memorial, which sits along a 100-kilometre-per-hour stretch of road. The items have also been affected by weather over time.

“Out of respect for everyone who has visited or contributed to the memorial, I’ve carefully moved what I could to the park – near the Yarning

Circle, where a second memorial was created during the vigil,” Mr Brady said.

Now, he’s asking the community to help make something permanent – either a plaque or, if fundraising allows, a memorial seat near the large rock in the park.

“This would be a space where people can come quietly, sit and

remember Max and Sam for generations to come.

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched, with all donations going towards the creation and installation of the permanent memorial.

At the time of writing, the page had already received support from across the district, with contributions of $845 towards a $2000 target.

City music students strike a chord with country kids City met country this week when music students from Sydney Boys Grammar School visited Baradine and surrounding communities to perform for district primary school students.

by LIZ CUTTS Forty-one high school music students rehearsed at the Camp Cypress facility for orchestral performance over the weekend of 28 and 29 June before setting off on a th r e e - d ay t ou r of the region to share their musical talents with country children and offer a taste of a city concert to outback classrooms.

Robert Busan, head of bands, sa id the mission was to educate and entertain through performance, while also hoping to spark creativity and enthusiasm for music among younger country counterparts. “ T h is is a g reat o pp o r t u n it y f o r t he b o y s t o b e s h ow i n g t hei r t a lent s wh i l s t demonstrating that you can have fun playing music,” he said.

“Particularly in this case, because it’s all boys doing something creative and artistic and having a ball doing it.

“We are just starting to do the tour again after

the COVID shut down.

The last time we were up here was around seven years ago. We plan to go to different parts of the state each year playing and sharing the boys’ enjoyment of music with local students so they can get to hear some live music.”

The touring program included visiting schools in Baradine, Coonamble, C o o n a b a r a br a n a nd Gilgandra. Mr Busan said that all the schools were very keen to have them play.

“It’s about connecting w ith c ommu n it ies , sharing our passion and hopefully inspiring young s t udent s i n c ou nt r y schools to explore the joy that music can bring to their lives,” he said.

“We hit the road every day and do two concerts a day for three days before heading back to Sydney. “ We a r e pl ay i n g some original concert band music, but include compositions from movies and cartoons. The boys also do demonstrations on their instruments, which they play in-between the

full orchestral pieces, so the audience get to see and hear their individual skills. “ There are probably boys in the group who have been to Paris, Rome or L ondon, but never visited a small town like Baradine, so it’s good for them to get out of their little bubble in the centre of the city.”

Volunteering Mr Busan explained that all the students are volunteering their time to do the tour during school holidays.

“It is the only way we can allocate the time out of school for this,” he said.

“They are all giving up nearly a week of their holiday just because they like playing. That is really great dedication and it is a good motivational response by them; a lot of them are real showmen and entertainers in their own right! “ T hey also have to work as a t eam a nd there are a lot of them.

You have to get them all working in precise synchronisation with the music.

“We tend to disparage teenagers, but when you watch these kids, it is evident that there is so much sel f-d iscipl i ne,

which you need to do all the practice, the learning and the application. It is great to see them doing something positive like

this and sharing their love of music, because you never know what impact you are going to have on another student

and where it might go.

“It’s human to want to make music. Music is great and everyone should do it.”

IN FOCUS: FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE A series of beautification and infrastructure upgrades have recently been completed across the Shire, creating a brighter future for the area through improved public spaces, amenities and community pride.

The Gift’s gift to Coona In recent weeks, a new bench has appeared outside the Imperial Hotel – but this is no ordinary seat. This bench documents a significant chapter in Coonabarabran’s history.

by MOLLY SHANNON A Gift is a unique style of footrace that caters to all athletic types by assigning individuals a mark, also known as a handicap, which reflects their ability. This gives all runners the same chance at winning by creating an even playing field.

Gi fts include pr ize money and are often a competitive, yet fun and social environment. Gift races were once popular across Australia, with towns ever y where hosting their own.

The Coonabarabran

Gift was established in 1965 as a way to keep footballers fit during the off season. Terry Tighe and R ober t Mathews were both heav i ly involved in the operation of Coonabarabrans Gift, with Mr Mathews also winning the event in 1967 at the ripe age of 27.

The two men carry many fond memor ies with them of the years that Gift operated, which is what inspired them to invest in a bench that documents its story and the winners. “ I n my time in Coonaba rabran, that was one of the big events

that survived for such a long period of time,” Mr Tighe said, “It went for 27 years and nobody knows anything about it.

“I think it’s part of our history and that’s what I hope to put around this town, something from our history.”

The Gift was a major s o c i a l event for t he town, bring ing up to 20 0 0 people into the town, and was believed to be even more popular than the Coona Races at the time. Competitors came from all over, with one winner travelling from Queensland just to

attend.

“John McDonnell won the first Gift and he was a five-eight for Australian R u g b y L e a g u e ,” M r Mathews said.

But Mr Tighe and Mr Mathews believe there was another reason for the town’s popularity – and that was due to Thelma Collins.

Ms Collins founded the Women’s Auxiliary, which became a highly popular club and had many active members.

“The ladies auxiliary was very active, and after the carnival they would put on a free banquet for all the runners and the

officials,” Mr Tighe said.

“When the last race wa s r u n , ever y b o dy wou ld tea r over a nd have a shower and the g i rls wou ld have a l l this food ready. Because the r unners could n’t eat during the day – they’d have an absolute banquet. “ It was considered amongst the runners as being second to the Stawell Gift for athletic events a round the country,” Mr Tighe said.

Mr Mathews agreed, emphasising that Coonabarabran had a good reputation within the Gift community.

“It was very popular, people wou ld come because of the competitive running and the prize money, but also because of the hospitality,” Mr Mathews said.

However, b ot h M r Tighe and Mr Mathews agree that there was one year that was most memorable.

They refer to it as the ‘Flood Year’, and it was the year Coona received 13 inches of rain in 13 days – and the last day of rain was on the day of the race. “ The f lood year we got 13 inches in the first 13 days of January, and our carnival was on the 13th of January, ” Mr Mathews said, “ We swept a l l the wat er of f a nd Ba r r y Ha r per ac tua l ly put diesel on the field,” Mr Tighe said, “They set fire to the whole track to try and dry it out, then he turned the track around, and the mile runners were running through kneede ep wat er a nd t he distance runners were

going through this great pond of water in front of the grandstand.”

“They were dedicated – the show had to go on,” Mr Tighe said.

Community support wa s i nt e g r a l t o t he r un n i ng of the Gi f t.

The Gift committee was made up of volunteers, with some having been a part of the committee since the very first Gift. “ W hen the runners had different colours we had colour boys, so at the finish the young boys had to get the colours off the runners and take them back to the official, where they would then get them ready for the next heat,” Mr Mathews said.

The Coonabarabran Gift ran for 27 years, eventually ending in 1994 when volunteers and numbers began to dwindle.

However, the Gift can still be felt through its years of donations.

“We raised money and it was basically to run the Gift, but if there was any left over it would go to the community,” Mr Mathews said.

“When the shire hall was opened, we paid for the curtains, “ We c o nt r i but e d 4 0 0 pounds t o the underwater lights at the swimming pool. “ We put o ve rhe ad l i g ht i n g a r ou nd t he oval, which was there for many years.

“Then, we some had money left over so, in conjunction w ith the Rotary Club, we put the exercise equipment down by the park.”

“A ny money raised was always put back into the town,” Mr Tighe said.

With some left over funds still in the coffers, Mr Tighe began thinking about creating a way to memorialise the Coonabarabran Gift. He came up with the idea of a bench, which was made

by Zeb Laser Cutting, and after discussions with Council the bench was installed in front of the Imperial Hotel, which used to be the hub for all things relating to the Coonabarabran Gift. “ W hen the football season finished, we’d go into the hotels every we e ke nd a nd t h at ’s where we did our fundraising – from the end of the football season till January,” Mr Tighe said.

The bench features the et ched names of pa st w i n ner s of t he C o on aba r abr a n Gi f t and the inaugural office bearers, R. Mathews, S. Woo, J Masters and J Kelly, along with the words – ‘Remembering a truly community event’.

Despite the bench only having recently being installed, feedback has been positive.

“Somebody said to me, the good thing about all these seats is that they’re comfortable,” Mr Tighe said.

T he G i f t l i v e s o n through the memories of those who participated and watched, while the Coonabarabran High School now hosts a Gift for their students each year in memory of what used to be. “ B etween a l l the runners that used to attend, there was great cama rader ie, there was no bitterness,” Mr Mathews said. “ We wer e ju s t a l l mates.”

New seating and shelter for Neilson Park Some may have noticed a new development at Coonabarabran’s Neilson Park, with Rotary Club recently completing construction of new undercover seating on the banks of the Castlereagh River, near the Rotary exercise area.

by MOLLY SHANNON Rotary constructed the seating to encourage use of the exercise equipment, which the club built in early 2000.

This project had been in the works for quite some time, said Rotarian, John Sawyer.

“Rotary, over many years, has constructed seats and shelters,” he said.

“After the exercise machines were installed many years ago, and the further development of the park by the Council, Rotary decided to add more seating and shelters to encourage more people to use the equipment.”

Rotary budgeted for two seats with shelter, which was then installed by

local contractors. Mr Sawyer said was important for Rotary to “keep it local.”

“The seats and shelters were c o n s t r u c t e d b y G r a n t Wo o d Engineering, while the concrete slabs were put down by local builder, Sean Jenner,” Mr Sawyer said.

Since being installed, the seating area has proven quite popular, though it is too soon to tell if it has encouraged more people to use the exercise park.

In the near future, Rotary hopes to add a plaque to the seats, acknowledging the meaning behind the structures.

Mr Sawyer said club members were pleased with the results and they encourage everyone to make use of the facilities.

Community vision realised in Town Hall kitchen refresh Coonabarabran’s Town hall has received a new kitchen upgrade following community concerns about its poor condition in 2023.

by MOLLY SHANNON A number of community members had voiced concerns over the state of the k i tc h e n , d e s c r i b i n g it as “di r t y and unhygienic”. “ I t wa s j u s t f i l t hy, you couldn’t use it in the state it was i n,” s a i d Ly n d a B ra i n, a communit y member a n d reg u l a r use r of the hall.

Ms Brain brought the state of dis repai r to public attention in 2023 via Facebook, af ter receiving no response from Wa r r umbungle Shire Council through traditional channels.

“It was a Fr iday

morning, around 11am, and we had to cate r the nex t day.

When we walked into the town hall kitchen we went, ‘O h dea r, we have to clean it’,” she said.

Ms Brain then went d i r e c t l y to C o u n c i l offices where she requested to see the manager responsible fo r t h e Tow n H a l l overview.

When told the m a n a g e r wa s n’t available, Ms Brain left a message requesting an urgent call back.

“By 12.3 0, I hadn’t heard anything, so I went back [to Council] and demanded to see the manager again.

The manager then came down and I was to l d t h at t h e re wa s n ot h i n g t h ey co u l d do – and that it was too late on a Friday to have someone come in and clean. “ I sa i d we w i l l b e cleaning it, and then we spent about five hours cleaning. There was four or five of us who scr ubbed that place clean,” Ms Brain said.

F r u s t ra te d by t h e lack of initial action, Ms Brain said she contacted councillors directly and sent p h oto g ra p h i c evidence, but r e c e i v e d n o immediate response.

“I think I might have sent it twice before I finally got a reply, and the person said they’d take it up with one of the councillors.

“So, in frustration, I went to SafeWork NSW and they we re ve r y good, they reacted.

“They came and inspected it and I believe Council was issued warnings.”

Ms Brain had accessed the kitchen with a communit y group that operates twice a year to help cater to visitors coming town. She described the original condition a s u n a cce pta b l e – u n c l e a n c r o c k e r y, dirty benches, unsafe

electrical appliances and spoiled food left behind.

She said it was disappointing to see the k itchen i n th i s state, describing the hall as a social hub that was a special place for community to come together.

Although Council’s i n it i a l res pon se wa s slow, action was taken and the kitchen was stripped and updated with new facilities. “ We n o w h a ve a commercial - g rade k itchen. We have a bea ut if u l cu pboa rd that has all the c r o c ke r y i n i t, a n d all the cutlery is now locked away in that

cupboard,” Ms Brain said. “ We h a ve a l l t h e se r v i ces – t h e re’s a proper hospitality tap and the d i shwashe r now sits even with the benches. Everything’s been fixed – other than the ovens, but I believe they are exceedingly expensive to replace.”.

The upgraded faci l ities have been well received by the community.

“The kitchen is looking pretty good,” she said.

“People who have worked in commercial kitchens say it’s up to standard – and it’s not as embarrassing now w hen people come

through.”

Wh i l e Counci l d id not comment on the specific upgrades to the Town Hall kitchen, they provided a s ta te m e nt o n w h a t i s happen i ng i n the future for community members to have their say. ‘ F o r f u t u re p l a n s , ou r p roposed 25/26 Ope rating Budget is cu r rently on the website for community s u b m i s s i o n s / feedback, so now is the oppo r tun it y to make requests fo r projects, and you have up until the 28 May 2025 to have your s a y’, t h e s tate m e nt read.

The most significant addition is the i nst a l lat ion of new childproof fencing around the park, making it a safer space for young children to play.

Work on additional improvements w i l l commence later in the year. These include the i n st a l l at ion of s ol a r l i g ht i n g a n d a n e w concrete path from the back lane to the existing c onc r et e sl ab at the t oi lets. T he pathway will offer safer access to facilities compared to the dirt path currently being used.

Other proposed works include a new concrete s l a b w it h t a ble a nd bench seat to replace the old existing table

and seats. The concrete slab will come off the existing paved area in a curved edge to create wheelcha i r access t o the table. Overhanging branches will be r em o v e d f r om t r e e s and further down the track new soft fall will replace the deteriorating material under the play equipment.

Mayor K athryn Rindfleish has welcomed the project. “ T his upg rade is a great example of council working alongside the community to improve our shared spaces,” she said. “ The Lions Park is a much-loved par t of B a r ad i ne a nd t he s e enhancements will make it safer, more accessible and more enjoyable for everyone who uses it, especially families with young children. We are committed to continuing these kinds of projects right across the Shire.”

c om mu n it y, w it h some locals saying the improvement already makes the park a more inviting and inclusive space. Ba rad i ne a nd District Progress Association has praised the commitment from Council to maintaining community spaces. “ With the proposed enhancements, Baradine Lions Park is set to become a more vibrant and welcoming place for visitors and local residents alike,” P rog ress A ssociation president, Ted Hayman said. “ The new childproof fencing installed b y Wa r r u m bu n g l e Shi re Council is a great improvement. It provides a much safer environment for children to play and gives parents greater peace of mind.

“We are grateful to the Council for listening to community concerns and investing in upgrades that will benefit both locals and visitors to Baradine.”

CWA sets vision for the future Hundreds of women from across NSW gathered in Wagga Wagga recently for the 2025 Country Women’s Association of NSW Conference, a landmark event celebrating community, connection and the enduring spirit of rural women.

by LIZ CUTTS Members of the Castlereagh Country Group, including those from Baradine, Coonabarabran and Purlewaugh, joined more than 700 delegates at the event held from 19 to 22 May to discuss key issues affecting regional communities, share knowledge and shape the future direction of the organisation.

Aunty Cheryl Penrith delivered the Welcome to Country while Dr Joe McGirr, State Member for Wagga Wagga, officially opened the conference.

Dallas Tout, mayor of Wagga Wagga, delivered an address, while Tara Moriarty, Minister for Agriculture, Regional NSW, and Western NSW, highlighted the government’s commitment to rural communities.

The event featured a distinguished lineup of guest speakers who inspired and informed attendees.

Keynote speaker Sarah Wheeler shared her journey with ‘The Outback Long Ride’, emphasising resilience and community support. Kylee Denis, managing director of Two Face Investigations, provided insights into investigative practices relevant to community safety.

The conference also featured performances by the Riverina Central Choir and singer Isabella Suttie, adding cultural richness to the proceedings. These speakers and performers contributed to a dynamic and engaging conference experience.

Joy Beames concluded her impactful three-year term as state president.

Elected during the centenary conference in Sydney, she reflected on her tenure, expressing gratitude for the support and friendship received from members across the state. She emphasised the association’s unwavering commitment to advocacy, particularly on issues affecting rural and regional communities.

Succeeding her, Tanya Jolly, from the Barellan branch, was elected as the new state president.

A long-serving member, Tanya brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by rural women.

Record Delegates passed a record number of 36 motions, reflecting the organisation’s strong commitment to rural and regional communities.

Key resolutions included calls for the NSW Government to urgently review ambulance resourcing in regional, rural and

remote communities to ensure timely medical responses, and to improve emergency call handling protocols to prevent delays in dispatching services. Other motions addressed the need for short-term housing for women and children, particularly those over 55, by converting unused buildings into safe accommodation.

Delegates also advocated for a review of local council funding models to ensure equitable state and federal contributions, minimising reliance on rate-payer increases.

Additional resolutions supported the fitting of seatbelts in public buses transporting school children in rural areas, strengthening penalties for biosecurity breaches and providing financial support for women from rural areas accessing fertility treatments.

State handicraft officer, Ruth Shanks announced that 650 items had been exhibited and judged this year. The 2026 branch challenge is four items of food made from any type of medium on a handcrafted plate.

The group challenge is once again eight handcrafted articles and the chairman’s choice is to be an article of Indian Kantha work. A new section has been added to this year’s handicraft schedule of any type of paper craft to fit in a 30x30cm frame.

Other competitions included art,

photography, short story, and poetry writing.

Branches and individual members also received awards for scrapbooks outlining their activities in areas of International, Agricultural and Environmental, Publicity and Cultural studies.

Castlereagh Country Group won the branch runners-up trophy for coming equal second with

their eight handicraft items. Barbara Gow, from Grattai, received a highly commended for her gold work, while the postcard competition entry from Baradine Central School student, Paige O’Grady was selected as one of the top 12 entries in the international postcard competition.

The 2026 conference will be held Forster from 2-7 May.

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quick-fire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?” And so the chain continues...

Do you have a nickname? Sez, Sezzy.

How did you come to l ive in Coonabarabran? I fell in love! I was originally from Baradine. I met a boy from Purlewaugh at a BnS Ball. Thirty-two years later, we live just out of town.

Where would people recognise your face from? I have worked a t t h e l o ca l h o s p i ta l fo r 21 years in patient support, at the Coonabarabran Jockey Club and I buzz for the Coona Times.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was a child, all I ever wanted to do was have animals around me, be happy and loved.

I now have five horses, four cats, two dogs and lots of wonderful people around me, so my cup is full.

W h a t ’s t h e m o s t i n t e re s t i n g job you’ve ever had? A radio announcer for TripleG/2MO. Every Saturday morning I hosted a sports show for six hours. I had interviews lined up like clockwork. Back then music was on CD, so you had to get all your music ready before you started your shift! Then, after I finished on air, I had to pre-record the weather to play all weekend.

It taught me a lot.

Best thing about living in Coonabarabran? The best thing about Coona is definitely the people! I absolutely love the fact that you can go anywhere and people say g’day.

What/who do you think is your spirit animal? This is hard ! I always think of myself as a beautiful horse running across the mountains with my mane flowing. But seriously, I would be a cranky little Shetland that would buck you off and end up with colic from eating too much.

WORD for WORD

What event in Coonabarabran do you look forward to most each year? That’s easy – Coona Cup. I have been on the committee for over 16 years and have met the most genuine people. Every year they come back, bring friends with them and catch up. I love seeing the jockeys on race day, the happiness on trainers’ faces, the people who dress up. It’s all about bringing people together for a day out.

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Write a short novel, get to Ireland and read 20 books this year.

If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be and what would you cook? Wow, you know this question made me cry.

I thought, will I say what everyone does, famous people etc? No, I would love to have just another meal with my Mum, my Dad and Clint’s Grammy. Just crumbed lamb cutlets, mashed potatoes, corn, honey carrots, snow peas and homemade gravy, followed by caramel dumplings with ice cream. Just simple, comfort food.

What is the best piece of advice you have been given? “Always wear good underwear” and “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”.

If you could instantly be an expert in any field, what would it be?

Human behaviou r – ‘cause I sometimes don’t understand why people do what they do!

How do you wind down after a long day? I cuddle my dogs, I snuggle into the mane of my horses, stroke my cats. I lay down on the lawn or I sit on my rock wall. I love being outside. In summer, I am straight into my pool.

What is your favourite place to visit on a road trip? I will go anywhere, but my favourite thing is having hubby with me. He grounds me, as you all know, I am a little crazy.

He makes wherever I am safe and comfortable.

I f you cou l d swap l ives w i t h anyone for a day, who would it be? My dream would be to own a bookshop/cafe, so someone who owns one? Or a professional movie watcher, as I do love the movies.

If you could make one rule that ever yone in the world had to follow, what would it be? Easy, be kind! Being kind to people makes a huge difference to people’s lives.

What is the most valuable life lesson you have learned so far?

People will let you down, they may not mean to, but they will and that’s on them. You just have to brush it off and get on with being the best version of yourself that you can be proud of and look back at in the mirror.

Breeding excellence: Playmore filly fetches $75,000 When top genetics align, the results speak for themselves.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY Playmore Australian Stock Horses, based at P u rlewaugh , h as a n enviable reputation for breeding high-quality, versatile horses.

Pl ay mor e ‘ Da rk N Stormy’, affectionately k now n as ‘ Mol ly ’, is no exception, claiming top-priced filly at the 2025 Nutrien Supreme Sale and Campdraft at Toowoomba held from 30 April to 4 May. T he sleek , black yea rl i ng sold for a n i n c r e d i bl e $ 7 5 , 0 0 0 , reflecting the quality she possesses.

Playmore principals Kim and Glenn Frazer, of ‘Mia Mia”, were thrilled by the result.

“I expected her to sell herself because she is a quality filly, but she went over and beyond expectations,” Glenn said.

Kim said the recipe was just right for this filly.

Sired by the stallion who needs no introduction in the performance horse world, ‘Acres Destiny’, Molly is backed by elite genetics.

“Acres has had such a big inf luence on the Australian Stock Horse

Society and Australian Quarter Horse Association. More so than any other stallion I can think of,” Glenn said.

The progeny of Acres Destiny have been proven performers for decades, excelling in challenges, campdrafts, cutting and more.

The Nutrien Hall of Fame inductee’s progeny have only become more valuable since his passing in 2018.

Molly’s dam, ‘Deowrie S e r e nd ipit y ’, fo nd ly known as ‘ K ate’, has achieved great success in the ring throughout her show i ng c a r e er, regardless of the discipline.

At just three years old, Kate claimed the title of Open Working Class Mare at the Sydney Royal and won the Australian Stock Horse Nationals three-year-old futurity amongst a class of 120 horses and riders. Kate has twice won Champion Working Horse at Sydney Royal.

With only 16 campdraft starts, the mare has obtained four wins and a third place.

Possessing the ideal blend of temperament

and ability, Kate is a cherished member of the Playmore team.

“She is one of those ma res you could put your grandmother on or go enter her in an open draft,” Glenn said.

“If you have a really tough mustering job to do, she is the first one you go catch. You know she will get the job done.”

Purposefully bred K im and Glenn selected Molly’s sire with a specific result in mind.

“You can’t have too much of a good thing. We knew the match would suit,” Glenn said.

“She was purposefully bred to be what we like and strive to have.”

Kim noted the unique presence of the filly.

“She is a cross between a model and an athlete,” Kim said.

“She has all the moves and is still pretty as a picture.”

Amaroo Farm was the successful buyer of the top-priced filly at the 2025 Nutrien Supreme Sale and Campdraft in Toowoomba, marking their second purchase from the stud. “ They already have one of our mares we bred

years ago. They really like her,” Glenn said.

“It is nice to get repeat clients who come back for the second or third time to buy a horse,” Glenn expects Molly to excel in whatever field the owners’ desire.

“The sky is the limit

really. We would like to see her go back and compete at the Nutrien two-year-old challenge next year and go on to be a high-class performance mare,” he said. “ W hether it be campdrafting, challenges – or whatever the new

owners choose to do.”

K im and Glenn are planning on breeding two full siblings to Molly this coming season. “ K ate will go back to Acres this year. She will carry a foal and will also have an embryo transferred to a recipient

Glenn Frazer with Playmore ‘Dark N Stormy’, which recently sold for $75,000.

mare,” Glenn said.

They are look forward to watching the mare throughout her showing career and that of her offspring to follow.

“We wish them all the best with her and hope she goes over and beyond their expectations.”

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Saint Lawrence’s

Coonabarabran Public T h e term finished with a powerful acknowledgement and a day of sporting excellence at CPS. In the bright, sparkling winter sunshine, Aria Kershaw, our girl school captain and a fierce Gamilaraay warrior, opened our athletics carnival with a moving Acknowledgement of Country.

Aria spoke with strength and grace, honouring her people and offering us insight into how the stories of her Elders will be carried forward. She reminded us that NAIDOC Week is more than a celebration – it is a time to proudly acknowledge who Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are and where they come from.

She shared the courageous history of her grandmother Monica, her Aunty Myra, Uncle Vin, Aunty Una, and her great-great-greatgreat-grandmother Mary Jane Cain, who fought for equality and justice.

Aria explained that she carries their strength and vision with her every day, proudly walking in their footsteps and continuing their legacy.

Athletes shine Prior to hearing Aria’s heartfelt words, our school community came together to celebrate the annual athletics carnival – a day filled with fantastic participation, u n w a v e r i n g sportsmanship and remarkable team spirit.

Students gave their all in every event, encouraging one another with pride and positivity.

The atmosphere was electric, with cheers echoing across the grounds and a strong sense of camaraderie and inclusion on display.

A huge thank you to our Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association for providing delicious food from the canteen – those tasty treats kept everyone energised and satisfied throughout the day. We are also incredibly grateful to the volunteers and helpers who made the event run smoothly.

One of the day’s highlights was the 1500m event, where our athletes truly pushed their limits.

Three new records were broken, setting an exciting benchmark for future carnivals!

Savannah Swanson broke the Junior Girls’ record held by Izzi Evans (7:03.71), with an impressive time of 6:48.19.

Emma Johnston broke the 11-Year Girls’ record held by Hannah Evans (7:34.39), finishing in 7:05.11.

Jacob Cook broke the Senior Boys’ record held

by Jake Deshon (6:18.20), with a powerful time of 6:06.65.

Age champions Congratulations to our age champions for their outstanding performances: Junior Boy: Louis Rouse.

Junior Girl: Savannah Swanson.

11-Year Boy: William Birtles.

11-Year Girl: Emma Johnston.

Senior Boy: Leo Homer-Forbe.

Senior Girl: Amarni Johnson.

The Champion House on the day was the Asteroids, while the Spirit Trophy was proudly awarded to the Satellites.

Looking ahead Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and supported our athletes.

A special mention to Warrumbungle Council for the use of their fantastic facilities and to our friends from Coona High for their continued

support.

Together, we made this year’s athletics carnival an uplifting and memorable event for all. We now wish all competitors the very best of luck as they travel to Coolah in early term three for the Zone Athletics Carnival.

Year 1 and Year 2 had a wonderful day last Wednesday with Ange and Narelle at the Warrumbungle National Park Environmental Education Centre (WNPEEC). The sun was shining and it was a great day for being outdoors.

The students had the opportunity to find and catch insects and look

at them up close using magnifying glasses.

They had fun finding a long list of interesting items on a scavenger hunt which encouraged them to really observe their surroundings closely and appreciate all the wonderful things that can be found in the environment.

The students enjoyed spending time in the visitors centre and learning about the local area through the extensive displays.

So much learning happens outdoors and the whole day was full of valuable learning experiences.

Radio Throughout this term, Year 4 students have been busi ly work i ng on radio scripts. Some groups have been to the radio station to have their scripts recorded and we will continue recording the other groups in term three. Students really enjoy the experience and look forward to hearing themselves on the radio.

We are very grateful to Rob and Belinda for giving the students the wonderful opportunity to be on the radio and to learn all about how the radio works.

NAIDOC Day Last Thursday, 26 June, St Lawrence students celebrated NAIDOC Day. This year, the theme for NA I DOC week is ‘The Next Generation: Streng th, Vision and Legacy’. This year is also the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC Week. The 5 0 th a n n iver sa r y of honouring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture and resilience through a week of celebration and activities.

been busy, with lots of loads of stock moving around to the different ‘farms’.

We have also enjoyed having some new friends join us for preschool fun.

The jungle animals at the ‘small world play’ have been given some a m a z i n g advent u r e s and we have a constant supply of good quality me d ic a l p e ople w it h a very ‘well equipped’ doctor’s set, for friends and preschool babies alike.

Coona Show Ag Team strikes again From preparation to presentation, every detail counts when you enter the show ring.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY T w e l v e Coonabarabran Show Ag Team members competed at the Dubbo Show, from 31 May to 1 June, putting their s he ep h a nd l i n g a nd livestock preparation skills to the test.

Under the guidance of livestock show veteran Sue Mc G old r ick , the students had the opportunity to prepare and show their sheep alongside other studs and schools.

M rs McGoldrick supplied 18 Poll Dorset and Dorset Horn ewes and rams from her stud, ‘Bimbadeen Park’.

Over the weekend, the students participated in several meat classes, where the a n i ma l is assessed on factors such as structure, muscling, fat cover and o t he r br e e d- s p e c i f i c characteristics.

“The kids in our team range from nine to 15 years of age – they are leading against adults in these classes,” Mrs McGoldrick said.

The students encountered a new class in which they had not previously competed.

M rs McGoldrick explained that in t h i s h a nd l i n g c l a s s , exhibitors are assigned

a sheep from an outside breeder – one they h aven’t worked w ith before. They must then present the animal to the judge to the best of their ability in hopes of earning a placing.

“Our team did really well in the ha nd l i ng class, w ith six kids coming back w ith r ibbons,” M rs McGoldrick said.

“The kids have really improved in thei r pa rad i ng sk i l ls, l i ke balancing their sheep properly for the judge.

They did a great job and really stepped up.”

The team also pa r ticipat ed i n the junior judging over the weekend.

In this event, competitors are asked to assess a selection of sheep and place them according to their mostdesired traits in terms of condition and breed characteristics. “ They assessed Merinos, Corriedales a nd W h it e S u f fol k ,” Mrs McGoldrick said. “ E ach breed has d i f ferent c h a r ac t er i s t ic s t hey are judged on, so it was a new experience for many of the kids. “ T he benef its of providing these opportunities for

k ids a re abundant – they lea r n a lot of responsibility and t e a mwork . T hey not only learn to handle an animal, they are also responsible for feeding, grooming and showing.

“When the students give their oral p r e s e nt at i o n i n t h e ju n ior jud g i ng, t hey a r e le a r n i ng how t o express themselves and their ideas.”

The education a g r i c u l t u r a l e x p e r ie n c e s pr o v id e youth with is invaluable, with livestock assessment and preparation giving students insight into how the product ends up on our table.

“It gives the kids an understanding of where our meat products come from and what we are actually eating,” Mrs McGoldrick said.

For decades, young p e ople i nt er e st ed i n agriculture have benefited from the experiences made possible by M r s M c G old r ic k ’s dedication. W hen a s k e d w hy s h e w a s so committed, M rs Mc G old r ick simply s a id , “ T h e c h i ld r e n love it!” “ It hasn’t been offered to them to show

sheep elsewhere in the community. “ K id s a nd pa rent s have come to me asking for it and have supported

me in providing it. The pa r ent s h ave d r iven thei r k id s out ever y other day to prepare stock.”

FROM BACK PAGE With just eight minutes into the second half, the scoreboard read 14 to 12 in favour of the blue and golds.

W i t h t h e U n i co r n s applying great pressure the Kanga roos were pi nned dow n i n the ow n h a l f a n d w h e n Coonabarabran centre, Brad Fuller put through an excellent g r ubber k ick down the right flank, which was pursued at great pace by h i s w i nge r, Sonny Bill Walker, who latched on to the ball to score, it was looking as if Coolah might be going to experience their first loss for the year, with the home side well and truly on top and the sco reboa rd read i ng 18 to 12.

It was not until the 27th m i nute of the second half that Coolah were able to battle their way over the halfway line and a great individual effort

by Ch a n s e B u rg es s, w h e re h e s h r u g g e d off numerous wouldbe tacklers on a run from 10 metres out, saw him score what was to become a converted try and an 18-all game.

That lead was short lived when Fuller slotted a penalt y goal from close range and Coona

was back in the lead, 20 to 18.

However, the reigning premiers were not done a n d w i t h j u s t t h re e minutes remaining Chanse Burgess th readed a g r ubber th rough and behind the Coonaba rab ran defensive line which second rower, Austin Burgess, was able to ground in goal for what wa s to beco m e th e match-winning try, the f inal sco re being 2 2 to 20.

Four brothers take the field for Blue Boars It was a proud moment for the Tighe family on May 31, when four brothers – Travis, Dyllon and Marshall Tighe and Shai Smith – lined up together for the Narrabri Blue Boars third-grade rugby union side in a clash against the Tamworth Pirates.

Sons of Wally Tighe of Coonabarabran, the

boys took the paddock side by side in the match played at Narrabri. The boys’ team came away with a win, highlighted by a try from Marshall – a special touch to an already memorable day.

In a fun fact, a fifth brother, Leighton Smith, could have been part of the line-up, but due to age restrictions, he missed out by just six months.

Unicorns show finals form in narrow defeat Big crowds were on hand to witness the historic return of the Mendooran Tigers to the rugby-league field at Binnaway last Saturday and also just up the road at Coonabarabran for the huge top-of-the-table clash between the Unicorns and the Coolah Kangaroos.

The impor tance of the Tigers’ reformation to the Mendoo ran community should not be understated and as Mendooran’s coach Scott Murray pointed out after the game, the Binnaway Bombshell supporters were greatly outnumbered

by Tigers’ fans and his team didn’t let them down.

After what he described as “a n e r vo u s a n d j i t te r y start to the game”, the Tigers had established a 14 points to nil lead at the break and looked set to go on with it.

However, they were not to bother the scoreb o a rd at te n d a nt i n the second stanza, as the Bombshells came out fir ing and with Mendoo ran seeing very limited possession with just a few minutes to go, it was anyone’s game at 14 points to 10.

That was to be the final score after some ve r y ne r vous f i na l minutes for supporters of both sides.

Indeed, as Mur ray

stated, it was on the back of a great defensive in that second half that the communit y of Mendooran was able to celeb rate its f i r st football win in 40 years!

While the game at The Crater was winding up, the h i g h l y - a nt i c i p a te d , tab le -toppi ng f i r st grade clash between the Coonabarabran Unicorns and the Coolah Kangaroos was just getting underway.

This game had a finals’ intensity about it and a huge crowd to match.

The first half was an intense back-and-forth bat tl e bet ween the two sides, the scores be i n g l ocked u p at 4 - a l l befo re Coolah edged out to a 12 to 4 lead at the break when thei r ha rd -wor k ing f r o n t r o w e r, C a s e y Bu rgess cleaned up with a try, much to the dismay of the home crowd, after a bomb was left unattended by the Unicorns with just two minutes remaining until half time.

Urged on by large contingent of Coona ‘Old Boys’ as they took

to t h e f i e l d fo r t h e res u m pt i o n of p l a y, the Unicorns seemed

Three more teenagers charged ‘Appalling attack’ on medical service residence: Walgett mayor over alleged break and enter of The mayor of a North West council has expressed his shock and disgust at an alleged attack on a doctor’s residence.

Walgett Shire Council mayor Jasen Ramien voiced concern about the incident in a statement released on behalf of council and councillors in relation to the incident at the Walgett Aboriginal Medical Service residence on June 19.

The alleged attack also caused the closure of the clinic on June 20.

“A locum doctor who was serving our community was held at knifepoint, had their vehicle stolen and home invaded. This is not only an attack on a vital health service - it is an attack on our entire community,” Cr Ramien said.

“WAMS is the backbone of healthcare in our region, providing critical services that would otherwise require months of waiting or long-distance travel.

“We are ashamed that this kind of violence is happening in our town. The actions of a few are putting the lives and wellbeing of many at risk.

“To those responsible: when you or your family need urgent medical care, remember that you targeted the very people who are here to help.”

Cr Ramien also addressed those in the community who may have information.

“You know who these people are.

I sincerely urge you to come forward and report what you know to

police or Crime Stoppers,” he said.

“Because next time, it could be your family, your neighbour or your loved one who is affected either directly in a similar fashion or indirectly when they cannot get the medical attention they need.

“This cycle of violence cannot continue. We are also seeing an increase in incidents where these offenders themselves are being

injured. If you believe you are protecting them, you are enabling behaviour that could cost them their lives.”

Cr Ramien thanked local police for their swift response and continued efforts.

“But this is not a problem they can solve alone. It is up to all of us, as a community, to say enough is enough,” he said.

Police have charged three more teenagers over the alleged break and enter of a doctor’s residence attached to a medical facility in the North West last month.

Officers from Central North Police District responded to reports about 11.15pm on Thursday, June 19, of a SUV allegedly being driven erratically through the township of Walgett.

It will be alleged that upon locating the SUV officers attempted to stop the vehicle and, when the driver allegedly failed to do so, a pursuit was initiated.

The pursuit was terminated a short time later for safety reasons.

A short time later, the vehicle was located abandoned on Myall Street, Walgett, where it was seized for forensic examination.

Inquiries established that the vehicle had been stolen from a residential premises belonging to a medical facility on Naomi Street about 10pm that evening.

Police will allege that a doctor and sole occupant – a 73-year-old man – was inside the home when four people broke into the premises and threatened the man before leaving the location with his mobile phone, wallet and the keys to the vehicle.

Following inquiries, on Friday, June 20, police charged a 14-yearold boy in relation to the incident.

Following further inquiries, on Friday, June 27, police executed three search warrants at different

locations in the Walgett area, before they arrested three teenage boys – all aged 14.

Clothing and mobile phone devices were seized to be forensically examined.

They were charged with aggravated break and enter in company steal less than or equal to $60,000, and be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner.

They were all refused bail and appeared at a children’s court on Saturday, June 28.

Man dies following Boggabilla highway crash A man has died after a two-vehicle crash in Boggabilla About 4pm on Tuesday, June 24, emergency services were called to the Newell Highway following reports a truck, and a car towing a caravan, had collided.

The driver of the car – a 79-yearold man – died at the scene. The passenger – a 75-year-old woman – was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Moree Hospital in a serious condition.

The driver of the truck – a 41-year-old man – was uninjured and taken to Goondiwindi Hospital for mandatory testing.

Officers attached to New England Police District established a crime scene and the Crash Investigation Unit have commenced an investigation into the incident.

A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

ACCC final report into digital Burren Junction platforms signals urgent need for support of local journalism firm secures The nation’s peak regional newspaper body, Country Press Australia, has welcomed the release of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s final report from its Digital Platform Services Inquiry, describing it as a landmark moment that recognises the systemic challenges facing regional and local news publishers in the digital age.

CPA president Andrew Schreyer said the report confirms what independent publishers have known for years, that global tech giants are using their market dominance to control how journalism is accessed, valued and monetised in Australia, to the detriment of local news.

“This report confirms what our members have experienced for a long time,” Mr Schreyer said.

“Local and regional publishers continue to face deeply entrenched power imbalances in their dealings with the major digital platforms. This has real consequences for the sustainability of journalism in our communities.”

Mr Schreyer said the federal government must now move quickly to implement the News Bargaining Incentive legislation, especially in light of Meta’s refusal to renew deals with publishers since announcing their withdrawal from news arrangements last year.

“Meta has walked away from compensating publishers entirely, and others like TikTok have never come to the table at all,” he said.

“The incentive legislation is essential to ensure that all major platforms are required to contribute to the journalism they benefit from, either by negotiating in good faith or by making a fair payment.”

He also emphasised that public funding support for journalism, including through the News Media Assistance Program (NewsMAP), must be directed to publishers who are actively producing local public interest journalism.

“Funding should go to the journalists and newsrooms who are on the ground covering councils, courts, community stories and local sport,” Mr Schreyer said.

“These are the voices that hold local institutions to account and help communities stay connected. They need direct and meaningful support.”

The ACCC report draws attention to a range of broader issues threatening journalism, including a lack of dispute resolution options for small publishers, harmful

practices by dominant platforms, and the growing use of AI tools that can devalue or displace credible news.

“We support stronger platform obligations to prevent scams and fake reviews, and we also support enforceable transparency requirements that ensure fair treatment of news content,” Mr Schreyer said.

“We need to see the major platforms treated as gatekeepers with clear responsibilities when it comes to how news is ranked, labelled and monetised.

“We urge the government to consider the rise of AI and its use of publishers’ content and the need for publishers to be fairly compensated for this as part of the News Bargaining Incentive framework.”

He said the rise of AI-generated content and the continued spread of misinformation on social media made it more important than ever for Australians to understand what credible journalism looks like.

“Improving digital literacy must be a national priority,” Mr Schreyer said.

“Australians need the tools to distinguish fact-based journalism from misinformation, especially in an environment where AI and algorithms are shaping so much of what people see.”

Country Press Australia represents almost 240 independently owned newspapers that serve regional, rural and suburban communities across the country.

These publishers are embedded in the communities they serve and continue to provide vital public interest journalism in an increasingly disrupted media environment.

Mr Schreyer said the ACCC report provides a clear path forward and urged the government to act.

“We strongly support the ACCC’s push for a new digital competition regime and external dispute resolution so our members can operate on a level playing field,” he said.

“Our regional, rural and local news outlets are the backbone of Australia’s democracy and they must be supported through practical reforms and fairer digital market conditions.”

monster drought research project The successful projects of the Australian government’s $3.9billion Future Drought Fund for 2025 were recently announced with local Namoi Valley firm Ag Econ Australia Pty Ltd securing funding to investigate a suite of issues around irrigation water, renewable energy, and climate science.

Partners in the five-year project include Macquarie University, the University of Southern Queensland, the University of NSW, with Ag Econ the project lead.

The news is a real coup for the small firm founded by Burren Junction’s Janine Powell and former Narrabri resident Jon Welsh in 2017.

Their team has grown to five regionally based agricultural economists including Wee Waa product George Revell, and three climate research scientists working explicitly in agriculture-related topics.

The Cotton Research and Development Corporation also heavily invested in the research, among other rural agencies in irrigated agriculture which will take place across five years with over $12m of funding.

The Ag Econ bid made the cut out of only eight successful projects from more than 120 submissions.

“We have teamed up with some of the best and brightest minds in the nation to find solutions to saving water, understanding climate processes, ensuring efficient land use, and exploring new business opportunities for energy generation,” said Ag Econ partner Janine Powell.

“These topics will build on related early-stage research, funded mostly here in Narrabri by the CRDC. “Irrigators need innovative solutions to adapt to a warming climate and these issues are right in our firm’s area of expertise.”

In a crowded and highly competitive area of commercial research, typically dominated by government research agencies and universities, Ag Econ partner Jon Welsh remarked on the unusual nature of Ag Econ being selected to lead such a project of national significance.

We have teamed up with some of the best and brightest minds in the nation to find solutions to saving water, understanding climate processes, ensuring efficient land use, and exploring new business opportunities for energy generation.

JANINE POWELL

“This is basically unheard of for a rural-based firm like ours to lead a venture of this scale,” said Jon. “I think our advantage in this submission is our grass roots postcode, the strength of our researchers, and the fact that we have the pulse of rural communities and businesses.

“We live, eat, and breathe farming which helps our case for greater impact and relevance. We certainly hope to make headway in some of the most challenging, complex, and intrinsically linked areas of our daily lives: water, food, and affordable energy.

“Our network of partners is as equally aligned and enthusiastic about regional Australia and finding novel solutions to prepare for extreme events - the horrific drought conditions of 2019 never seems like all that long ago.

“We feel extremely fortunate with this announcement and that the Department of Agriculture has faith in us to lead this project with so many esteemed partners.

“This announcement is also a great example of what can be achieved from a remote area. All our team works from home,” Jon added.

The Nosh Food and Drink Festival returns to Narrabri in 2025 with an exciting new format and a packed weekend of culinary experiences from Friday to Sunday, August 29 to 31.

This year’s event launches on Friday night with an exclusive Q&A session featuring celebrity chef Gary Mehigan, hosted at the Tourist Hotel.

In an intimate and engaging evening, Gary will share highlights from his culinary journey, explore the importance of regional produce, and preview the weekend’s festival highlights.

The main festival day on Saturday, August 30, brings the heart of the action with the Nosh Food and Drink Festival, featuring a vibrant schedule and 39 food and drink vendors onsite.

Entry to the festival is now by gold coin donation, making it easy for everyone to join the fun.

This year’s program melds together fan-favourite events with exciting new additions, offering festival-goers a dynamic and flavour-packed experience.

Highlights include a live cooking demonstration by celebrity chef Gary Mehigan, the return of the Nosh BBQ Cook-Off – All Stars Edition, and a live cocktail-making competition with the winning cocktail to be served at The Tourist Hotel for a limited time.

The 2025 festival introduces an exciting new element: A series of five ticketed workshops hosted by festival exhibitors, offering food and drink lovers the chance to dive deeper into the craft, flavour, and skill behind some of their favourite products.

These hands-on experiences are designed to be both educational and entertaining, giving attendees the opportunity to engage directly with local experts and artisans.

The workshops include a cocktail making masterclass, cupcake decorating, hop rubbing and beer tasting, and vertical wine tasting.

The weekend wraps up in style on Sunday, August 31, with the beloved Nosh Long Lunch, this year

26 th Edition

Boarding schools showcased in annual guide The Courier has published the 26th edition of its annual Education Guide.

This year’s publication showcases 23 schools, in addition to the Boarding Schools Expo.

Narrabri will host an expo at The Crossing Theatre on July 25 and 26.

The Boarding Schools Expo event is free to visit.

Each school featured in the 32page Education Choices for 2026 magazine offers a unique living and learning environment and is committed to delivering quality education and ensuring children reach their full potential.

Each offers outstanding academic sport, cultural and personal development opportunities for rural and regional students and each invites families to make contact to discuss, explore and explain what they offer and how they can assist parents in making the right choice for their child.

An education which prepares children for the future is one of the most important investments parents can make, however, choosing the right school for a child can be a challenging process.

The Courier’s education guide aims to inform parents and families about some of the outstanding opportunities and facilities available at boarding schools.

Education Choices for 2026 is available to view on The Courier’s website and is listed under the features menu.

embracing an Italian theme.

Set along the scenic Narrabri riverbank, the long lunch will feature a four-course Italian-inspired menu by local favourite Katrina White of Relish Catering. Tickets are limited and expected to sell quickly.

Nosh Narrabri president Angie Jones said this year’s festival is about honouring tradition while embracing exciting new experiences.

“Nosh 2025 is all about new

experiences and bringing even more life to our much-loved event,” Mrs Jones said.

“We’re blending tradition with fresh ideas, from hands-on workshops to the freedom of enjoying a drink anywhere at the festival.

We can’t wait to welcome Gary Mehigan and food lovers from near and far.”

The Courier, sister publication of the North West Magazine, is the media partner for the Nosh Food and Drink Festival.

Businesses demonstrate resilience despite cost pressures, regulatory burdens, market uncertainty Businesses in the New England North West continue to demonstrate resilience despite mounting pressure from rising costs, regulatory burdens and market uncertainty, according to the latest Business Conditions Survey from Business NSW. The region’s business confidence index improved from -52.0 in quarter one to -38.5 in quarter two, outperforming many other parts of NSW and showing greater optimism about the road ahead.

However, New England North West still remains below the statewide confidence average of -50.8, signalling a cautious recovery.

Confidence for the next quarter sits at -34.6, indicating the

region’s comparative resolve in navigating economic headwinds.

Top challenges identified by New England and North West businesses include: • Insurance and government charges: Insurance remains a top cost concern, followed by taxes and levies—mirroring broader statewide concerns.

• Hiring pressures: While regional businesses are holding staffing levels steady, 27 per cent across the state reported cutting staff in the past three months.

• Energy transition barriers: Local operators highlighted fuel and electrification costs as ongoing challenges, particularly for businesses operating across large geographical areas.

• Access to housing and skills: Businesses in the region are calling for stronger investment in housing availability and training pathways, with these ranking above tax reform as government priorities.

Diane Gray, regional director for Business NSW in the New England North West, said their members are doing it tough, but they are far from defeated.

“The slight lift in business confidence this quarter tells a story of quiet determination from business owners who are adapting, adjusting, and holding the line despite unpredictable costs and workforce shortages,” Ms Gray said.

“While rising insurance

premiums and a broken workers’ compensation system continue to squeeze margins, businesses are asking for reform, not rescue.

They want governments to tackle red tape, modernise regulatory settings, and support long-term skills and infrastructure solutions in our region.”

Across NSW, over one-third of businesses reported insurance hikes of more than 30 per cent in the past year, with 45 per cent stating they would cut staff if workers’ compensation premiums increase as proposed.

These impacts are even more pronounced in regional areas where margins are tighter and overheads, such as energy and freight, are higher.

Business NSW is calling on the NSW government to urgently: • Pass workers’ compensation reforms to ease unsustainable cost burdens.

• Accelerate Emergency Services Levy reform to reduce insurance premium loading.

• Prioritise housing and skills initiatives in the upcoming State Budget to support regional workforce attraction and retention.

“The New England North West has the talent, grit, and potential to lead regional economic renewal,” Ms Gray said.

“With the right policy signals and targeted investment, our local businesses will continue to drive growth, employment, and innovation across NSW.”

North West NSW whipcrackers conquer Queensland competition It was a very successful weekend for the Wicks family after claiming whip cracking and billy boiling title championships at the recent 2025 Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular (SRCS) held in Beaudesert.

The family competed in the Australian Whipcrackers and Plaiters Association’s Queensland whip cracking and placed highly in all sections.

In the ‘pee wee’ section Abbie Sozou (8) from Tamworth was crowned the champion ribbon from Macey Wicks (5) second and Robbie Wicks (3) fourth place. The children are now gearing up for the Australian titles at the EKKA Brisbane in August.

Abbie capped off a great weekend by also winning the junior under-16 years World Billy Boiling Championships at the tender age of just eight years. Once the eight-year-old started her fire going, she raced away with a convincing win.

Brooke Wicks (Middlemount, Queensland) won the women’s division and placed second in the Queensland bullock whip crack.

Brooke is now working hard to fine tune her routine after placing second at the nationals’ event last year.

Daniel Wicks capped off a great day by winning all three sections he competed in. Daniel took out the men’s, open bullock whip

and the overall accuracy component.

The SRCS hosted the World Billy Boiling Championships for the men’s and women’s divisions.

Brooke Wicks won her first world title after minor placings over the last 12 years of competition.

In the men’s division, father-son duo of Steve and Daniel Wicks competed alongside each other in the final.

Steve Wicks established a raging fire, however, it was not good enough to hold off Daniel’s fire in the final of the world title.

Daniel placed first in a time of 6:53 minutes to claim his eighth World Billy Boiling Title.

Continue crackdown on national biosecurity, says NSW Farmers Farmers have urged the federal government to continue its crackdown on biosecurity as a woman is sentenced for breaching Australian biosecurity law.

On Thursday, federal Agriculture Minister Julie Collins released a statement to announce a woman had been sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for illegally importing more than 62,000 kilograms of fresh food from Thailand into Australia.

NSW Farmers Biosecurity Committee chair Tony Hegarty said

while it was good to see offenders prosecuted for breaching the nation’s biosecurity laws, penalties should be far tougher for those convicted of breaking critical border controls.

“This was no accident – we’re talking thousands and thousands of kilograms of fresh produce like fresh prawns and frog meat that have been seized, and rightly so,” Mr Hegarty said.

“We have no way of knowing what pests and diseases these materials could have been carrying,

and the consequences of these products entering Australia’s food supply could well have been diabolical.

“In many cases, we’re talking billions of dollars in damages if an exotic pest or disease reaches our shores, and so these serious crimes must be met with serious penalties.”

To protect the nation from future illegal border breaches, Mr Hegarty said the federal government must continue to strengthen its biosecurity systems and controls.

presented with life membership for their work with the SRCS event over the years.

“Apparently, this was a sophisticated operation, and so it’s clear we need increasingly sophisticated and effective biosecurity controls if we are to truly protect our borders,” Mr Hegarty said.

“This means we need a biosecurity system that is properly funded, and biosecurity rules that are strongly enforced.

“If people are going to deliberately put our whole nation and its food supply at risk, then we should throw the book at them – they deserve it.”

Tourism in spotlight

Tourism leaders, business owners and changemakers gathered in Narrabri for the New England North West Regional Tourism and Placemaking Forum, hosted at The Exchange.

This half-day forum, held earlier this month, was hosted by Business NSW New England North West and Narrabri Shire Council, with support from Collective Media, publisher of the North West Magazine,

The Courier, Wee Waa News and Gunnedah Times.

It was a highly informative and collaborative day, featuring a key note address from the NSW government’s 24-hour economy initiative as well as spotlight presentations and a regional panel discussion.

Business NSW New England North West regional director Diane Gray was amazed at the incredible level of

community engagement and enthusiasm at the event.

“We were thrilled to bring together the region’s change-makers at this forum to discuss the challenges and enormous opportunities in attracting visitors and growing the North West regional economy,” says Ms Gray.

“This forum is about facilitating conversations not just around tourism, but the

broader needs of our communities, from infrastructure to liveability and everything in between” she adds.

Ms Gray explained that by collaborating with local leaders and industry experts, the forum aims to identify solutions that will help shape a sustainable, vibrant future for the North West.

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.

Trust journalism to deliver you the truth.

Support trusted journalism.
