DAY

A dedicated local volunteer has been honoured with an Australia Day award in recognition of his contribution towards enhancing a cherished community space.

Baradine resident, Ted H ay m a n ha s been awarded War r umbungle Shi re Council Citizen of the Year for his outstanding co nt r i b u t i o n to t h e Baradine community.

He was presented with his award by Australia D a y A m b a s s a d o r, Professor William Chan at the Australia Day celebrations held in Baradine on Sunday, 26 January.

Te d h a s b e e n a p roact i ve m em be r of the Baradine and District Progress Association for more than 20 years. During that ti me, he has been the key d r ive r of m a ny b e n ef i c i a l community economic development projects.

However, Ted’s primary focus ove r the pa s t few yea r s has been to selflessly dedicate h i s t i m e, s k i l l s a n d passion to preserving a n d rev ita l i s i n g th e community's 100-yearold iconic Memor ial Hall. l n 2 0 15 t h e h a l l ca m e u n d e r t h re at of closure due to the run-down state of the ven ue. Recog n i s i n g the hall’s historical and cultural importance to Baradine, Ted became a driving force behind its transfo r mation, ensuring it was returned to its former glor y as a visible tribute to the local servicemen and women from Baradine who sacr ificed so

much in WWI and WWII and that it remains a vibrant and functional space for generations to come.

As a result of all these improvement wo r k s, the Baradine Memorial Hall is now generally acknowledged to be th e bes t ha l l i n th e Warrumbungle shire.

Even w ith l it tl e el se to b e d o n e to t h e ve n u e, Te d h a s n ot stopped contributing to its viability by always being available to set up the hall for events and functions and b e i n g ‘o n c a l l ’ fo r people renting chair and tables.

Over the yea r s, Te d h a s b re a t h e d new life into the local historic landmark and g e n e rate d p r i d e i n community.

In his acceptance speech, Ted said he was humbled and privileged to receive the Citizen of the Year award.

“I am deeply honoured to receive this award and g ratef u l to b e p a r t of such a supportive community,” he said.

“Our Memorial Hall is an iconic landmark in our main street and it has always been a special place and it has been a privilege to contribute to its future in our town through the improvement projects.

“T h i s i s n’t j us t recognition of my work – it’s a reflection of the support and teamwork

from everyone in our community who has pitched in over the years.

The upgrades to the hall are a testament to what we can accompl ish when we work together.

Baradine Show back on track Baradine residents have rallied to reverse a previous decision not to hold the 2025 Baradine Show.

by LIZ CUTTS Ea rly i n t he ye a r, members of the Baradine PA&H Association made the call to cancel the a n nua l event due t o concerns regarding the f u nds t o host it a nd lack of volunteers. But when the news got out to the broader community, locals wasted no time in mustering up support to change the decision.

At a wel l-attended c o m mu n i t y m e e t i n g held on Saturday, 11 Ja nu a r y, c om m it t e e

members voted u na n i mously for the show to go ahead.

The meeting, chaired

by Bia nca Wi l l ia ms, president Castlereagh Group 12 of the Agricultural Societies Counci l (A SC ) NSW, Dane Parnell, Group 1 2 t r e a su r er, a nd Stephen Coe, president, Baradine PA&H Society, has been hailed a great success.

Stephen Coe praised and thanked the community for its support.

“ It was amazing, within a week we had some new committee members on board to take on various jobs to get the show back on the road,” he said.

“Since then, we have had a further meeting to discuss the programme of events and get the show schedule finalised. “ N o w, w i t h m o r e sp on s or sh ip a l r e ady bei ng generat ed a nd mor e helpi n g h a nd s available, we a re all delighted that our iconic show will go on.”

Bianca Williams said that it was good to assist the committee and help guide them to a decision. “ We hope th at the Baradine Show Society will run for a long time into the future,” she said. “ Un f o r t u n at e l y, across the state we have seen shows close for one reason or another, whether it ’s be cause they fold for financial reasons or volunteer power. W hat ever t h e r e a s o n m ay b e , agricultural shows in NSW have decreased in

the last few years.

“Show societies are one of the community g r oup s t h at d o r ely heavily on grants and, unfortunately, they are hard to come by and with the cost of living the way it is, sponsorship can be difficult to find.

“We were looking at a bigger picture here.

Not only do we need the people to help put on the show, but we also need people to come through the gate. So, if everyone can do a job, we can piece it all together and we can make it work.”

This year’s Baradine

Show w i l l focus on incorporating the traditional elements of the event with livestock competitions, art, craft, photography and school displays, as well as food vendors, stall holders and live music.

“I am totally confident that this year’s show will have all the aspects that have worked so well in the past, but also incorporate some new and exciting ideas,” concluded Mr Coe. “I think that traditional events need to be preserved because they are the ones that

showcase ever y th i ng we do in the community. “ The all-round support we have received has given us a lot of confidence now we have a strong team to put on the show. The decision has certainly sparked hope for the future of the event” The Baradine Show committee is enc ou rag i ng d istr ic t residents to consider enter ing some of the many competitive and fun events on Saturday, 15 March.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com “Dennykymine” A post Australia Day anecdote.

Whilst having lunch with my Dad and two sisters, my youngest sister asked how to pronounce a name she had seen on a road sign, as she had travelled from Bathurst to Coona. The road sign read “Dennykymine” and was between Dunedoo and Mendooran (I remember seeing the sign myself, at a creek crossing).

She a nd I d isag reed on ou r pronunciations. Google was no help, so I did the next best thing – I rang the pub at Dunedoo.

Unquestion i ngly, the la nd lady wrote the name down as I spelt it to her then could be heard to turn to the patrons and ask how to pronounce D en nyk y m i ne. I c ou ld he a r the immediate and clear answer over the phone.

My sist er sti l l doubt ed the “evidence”. When I told her I’d called Dunedoo because I thought it was closer to the sign she said she thought it was closer to Mendooran. So, as you do, I phoned the Mendooran pub.

Once again my call received an immediate and non-doubting response

from the landlord. He said, ‘hang on’, he would pass the phone to one of the locals, who also gave the same pronunciation as I had heard from Dunedoo.

We all commented on just how “Aussie” the responses had been. No one hung up on me. No one questioned if it was a scam. In both cases I had explained that I was hoping that they could settle an argument between my sister and myself. We visualised the discussions that may have occurred in both pubs after my calls. We reckon that my calls might have just made their day. They did for us! Would this have only happened in Australia?

I’d like to challenge your readers for their pronunciations. I had thought it was “Dun-key-mine”, my sister said “Dun-kie-min”.

Yours etc., Mitchell Brain Coonabarabran 2357 (29.01.2025) Editor’s note: In the next edition we will publish the pronunciation given to Mitchell Brain by patrons from both the Dunedoo and Mendooran pubs.

Dane Parnell, Bianca Williams and Stephen Coe chaired the meeting that helped to get the Baradine Show back on track.

Ambassador reflects on gratitude An inspiring message of appreciation, resilience, values and the shared achievements that make Australia remarkable was delivered by the Australia Day Ambassador.

by LIZ CUTTS T h e 2 0 2 5 Au s t ra l i a D a y a m b a s s a d o r to the northern end of the Wa r r um bung l e Sh i re, P rofe s s o r H Y W i l l i a m Chan p resented his key note add res s to the Coonaba rab ran, Baradine and Binnaway communities on Sunday, 26 January.

T h e f o r m e r Yo u n g Australian of the Year finalist, architect and cofounder of Climate Action Week Sydney, champions sustainable city making and community empowerment and is also a first-generation migrant. Professor Chan reflected on our nation’s rich diversity and the collective responsibility to build a sustainable and inclusive society.

“If you were to ask m e to d e s c r i b e t h e past few years in one word, these come to mind; challenging, transformative, resilient and hopeful,” he said.

“But for me, one stands out from the rest and that is gratitude.

“When confronted with pain and uncertainty, whether it be through devastating bushfires and droughts, the pandemic, or the mounting pressures of a rapidly changing world, there is a deafening

silence that comes in recognising what truly matters.

“Rising to the surface, f rom the ashes, f rom the land and from our hearts, are our family, friends, neighbours and community. “ I am rem i nded of how lucky I am to have grown up in Australia; a country built on values of resilience, community and a deep sense of fairness. Whether working to create af fo rdab le housing, public spaces that bring communities together, or supporting o u r m o re v u l n e ra b l e during time of crisis, I have been inspired by the spirit of Australians who step up and look out for each other.

Thankful “I have realised how eternally thankful I am of my parents’ decision to migrate to Australia when I was just three years old.

I was born in Hong Kong, under British democracy, freedom and the rule of law. With the events that unfolded over the past years, that no longer exists for Hong Kong. My parents had the foresight to leave all those years ago, making sacrifices, for my future. But perhaps lucky is not the right word.

“In 1964, author Donald Hor ne f i rst descr ibed

3 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 6 February 2025

Australia as ‘the lucky c o u n t r y ’, a l a n d o f econo m i c p ros pe r it y and bountiful natural resources. But I don’t think it has anything to do with luck or chance, it’s to do with the people. “ I n f a c t, w i t h t h e devastating and raw exper iences of environmental disasters, our natural resources h e r e a r e n’ t e x a c t l y bountiful anymore and, with regards economic prosperity? Well, inflation and the cost of living will only go up. No, it’s the Australians that make the difference and it’s the Australians that make me thankful to have grown up in this country.”

Professor Chan went on to ask how the values of democracy, mateship, egalitarianism and a fair go can be maintained and p rotected i n a changing and divided world and talked about the value of volunteering and the need for l eade r sh i p by young Australians.

“We’ve all heard about the stereotypes of my generation. We’re told we are entitled. Well, on behalf of the young people here today, I say we’re entitled to lead so that we can create the future we want. Change happens now through

action and willpower and there is an urgency to be resilient and sustainable.

“Looking ahead to o u r f u t u re, l et u s be g rateful fo r those around us and thankful for the communities we

call home. Let us work togethe r to create something better and l et’s l eave beh i nd a legacy that the nex t generation of Australians can be proud of.”

Professor William Chan, Australia Day Ambassador to the northern end of the Warrumbungle Shire.

Coona community Christmas lunch brings cheer to all The Coonabarabran Community Christmas Lunch returned with warmth and festive spirit at the end of last year, uniting people from all walks of life to share in the joy of the season.

by MOLLY SHANNON Held at the Coonabarabran Town Hall on Christmas D a y, t h e f re e eve nt welcomed hund reds of at tendees, from fa m i l i e s a n d f r i e n d s to individuals seeking companionship during the holiday.

The event was hailed a success, with plenty of activities for

both kids and adults, including a visit from Santa and his helpers.

A team of 24 vo l untee r s a s s i s ted with this year’s event, along with help from Ca r l o’s I GA , w h i c h s u p p l i e d fo o d , a n d Wa r r um bung l e Sh i re Council, who provided the venue.

A free raffle was also available to all attendees, w i t h R o a c h’s H o m e

Hardware generously donating $1000 worth of vouchers as prizes.

The team were able to s u p p l y 170 m e a l s and for the first time, delivered 45 meals to residents in their homes in Coonaba rab ran, Ba radine and Binnaway.

T h e m e a l d e l i ve r y service was ver y well re ce i ve d a n d eve nt o rgan i se r s hope to continue the initiative

in the future.

“People we re so appreciative that we were able to deliver a Ch r istmas meal to t h e m ,” o n e o f t h e event organisers, Sally Taylor said.

“We had plent y of leftovers as well so, on Boxing Day, volunteers we re ab l e to home deliver more meals to local people.”

The lunch-time menu consisted of a

variety of cold meats, salads, and deser ts including ham, pork, chicken, potato salad, coleslaw, pasta salad a n d p a v l ova , w h i l e Mur ray Mar tin made a delicious Christmas pudding fo r all to share.

The Coonabarabran Community Christmas Lunch, originally s ta r ted by mem be r s o f t h e S eve nt h D a y Adventist Church, has

grown into a cherished tradition, embodying the true spirit of giving and togetherness.

And this year’s event was no exception, with many happy faces and full stomachs.

But preparing for the event is no easy feat, and meeti ng s sta r t around September.

Anyone is welcome to get involved and the committee is always looking for volunteers.

Organisers extended thanks to the dedicated volunteers and generous donors who made the event possible, ensu r ing that no one in the community had to s p e n d C h r i s t m a s alone.

Santa and his Elf even blew into the community luncheon.

G’day folks.

We still have a week before parliament has its first sitting for the year.

Things are starting to get back to their usual pace after the holiday season.

I have been on the road for much of the past two weeks, to visit places on opposite sides of the state from a place producing mulch from fish waste on the coast to the wild dog fence on the South Australian border.

A use for carp Carp has been a major problem in our rivers for decades. In some parts of our river systems in NSW this invasive species has become the predominant form of biomass in the wat er ways . But i n January I visited a facility run by Oceans2Earth that is turning carp into a fertiliser that could be a real boon for the agricultural industry.

They make a product called Soil Enhancer, a living soil rich with microbes, made from a mixture of marine and timber waste. This is a high-quality garden product that can be used in compost, and potting mix.

The man behind this is Tim Crane, originally from Wilcannia. A few mont h s a g o , he

approached me to tell me about his process of mixing fish waste and wood, with a view to helping to remove carp f r om ou r r iver s out west to use them in his product.

Usi ng h i s pr o duc t will reduce the need for using chemicals (where it has been used there h a s a l r e ady b e e n a substantial reduction) and produce soil with higher nutrients. This leads to more nutritious food and better crops.

A product that uses waste and carp to produce high-value soil products has an obvious value to agriculture, consumers and the environment – it ticks a lot of boxes. It would be great to see carp removed from our rivers and lakes while creating more productive agriculture, decreasing the use of chemicals – and new jobs in the Barwon electorate.

This proposal really does align with some major electorate priorities and I will be talking t o mi n isters about bringing this technology to western NSW. Australia Day I spent Australia Day in Broken Hill this year attending the ceremony for new citizens, as well

a s t he pr e s ent at ion of awards to existing citizens who have made significant contributions to their community. Some of the award winners wer e p e ople I k now personally, people I have worked with across the electorate.

Similar ceremonies were held right across Barwon, acknowledging people working for their community in a variety of ways.

Australia Day also sees certain members of the community given special recognition with Australia Day honours.

It must be the toughest job in the world to have to judge these awards. This is such a great country, with so many exceptional Australians doing so many amazing things.

I want to congratulate ever y person from Barwon whose efforts were recognised in this year ’s Australia Day Honours list.

Thanks for everything all of you have done, and continue to do, to make this a better place to live.

Calls to limit firearms ownership R e c ent ly, T he Austra l ia I nstitut e released a report det a i l i n g t he r i si n g numbers of f irearms’

ownership across the country, saying that this was a cause for concern a nd ca l l i ng for the tightening of firearms regulations.

T he repor t seems t o e q u at e i nc r e a s e d f i r e a r m s ’ ow ner sh ip with rising crime, which is a false assumption.

A lthough the r ep or t states that gun ownership is now higher than it was before the Port Arthur massacre, ev idence shows that criminal use of firearms has dropped dramatically over the last 20 years. Firearms are vitally important to many people in NSW, especially people who live on the land who need them for pest eradication, also sporting shooters. Any changes to regulations or laws regarding firearms needs to be firmly based in evidence.

It is true that there has been an increase in people licensed to own firearms as well as more firearms, but there has also been a significant increase in the population.

People who hold a valid firearms licence and who acquire their firearms legally are rarely the problem when it comes to crimes involving guns.

It is criminals who have no regard for the law and regulations, who are usually barely affected by tightening of gun laws, who pose the biggest risk to the public and to our police force.

POLICE NEWS Firearms, drug and DV offences A man has been charged with firearms, drug and domestic violence offences in Binnaway.

Around 11am on Monday, 13 January 2025, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District were called to a home on David Street, Binnaway, following reports of a domestic violence incident.

Police will allege in court that between 7am and 8am on Monday, 13 January 2025, a 41-yearold man assaulted a woman – who was known to him – inside the David Street home.

Upon arrival at the residence, police officers established a crime scene and conducted a search, at which time they allegedly located

and seized two .22 foldable revolver pistols, an unregistered .177 air rifle, a replica militarystyled gel blaster, a BB gun, two slingshots, a prohibited knife, cannabis plants and seeds, handcuffs, a baton and ammunition.

Officers arrested a 41-year-old man and conveyed him to Coonabarabran Police Station, where he was charged with: Two counts of possess unregistered firearm – pistol; Two counts of possess unregistered firearm – not pistol/prohibited firearm; Two counts of possess

prohibited drug,; Assault occasioning actual bodily harm (DV); Possess prohibited plant – small quantity; Possess or use a prohibited weapon without permit; Possess unauthorised prohibited firearm; Possess ammunition without holding licence/ permit/authority; and Not keep firearm safely – pistol.

The man appeared before Dubbo Local Court on Tuesday, 14 January 2025, where he was formally refused bail and ordered to face Coonabarabran Local Court on Friday, 24 January 2025.

Improved water access for property fire-fighting During a fire emergency, a landholder can now take water from surface and groundwater sources on their land without needing to have a water licence and water use approval, and this includes streams, creeks and rivers abutting a boundary.

This water can be used by l a n d h o l d e r s o n th e i r p ro p e r t y a n d a d j a ce nt land to fight fires, and can also be used for training a n d co nt ro l l e d b u r n i n g when carried out under the authority of a fire-fighting agency such as the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS).

This exemption has been made via amendments to the Water Management (General) Regulation 2 018 , i n w h a t t h e N S W Government has described a commonsense reduction i n re d ta p e to i m p rove the abi l it y of fa r mer s to f i g ht f i re s o n t h e i r ow n properties.

Under the change, landholders who wish to prepare for the threat of b u s h f i re s ca n n ow a l s o law ful ly take wate r and store it in a tank or dam for future firefighting purposes.

T h e m a x i m u m vo l u m e allowed for each property is 100,000 litres (0.1 ML) per year.

The NSW Government will carry out targeted periodic sur veys of landholders to monitor how the exemption is being used.

While landholders w i l l n ot b e r e q u i r e d to submit repo r ts, they a re e n co u ra g e d to l o g t h e volume of water they take under the exemption, for their own records.

Emergency Ser vices M inister, Jihad D ib, said the change would further empower landholders to deal with a fire threat.

Unregistered farm units to take part in fire-fighting trial Farmers are being urged to take par t in an operational tr ial of farm f i re U n i t s , u n d e r a N SW

Government project that will run until 31 March.

Under the trial, private farm vehicles that are used for fire-fighting purposes – generally known as farm fire units or farm fire fighting vehicles – can be used unregistered under certain conditions.

N S W F a r m e r s representative, John L o w e, s a i d t h e c u r r e n t catastrophic damage being caused by b u s h f i r e s ove r s e a s w a s a s ta r k re m i n d e r of t h e importance of having key fire-fighting tools available in emergency situations.

“These out of season bushfires are burning out of control in the United States, a n d i s a s ta r k re m i n d e r of how fires here in NSW could get out of hand if we don’t have the right tools available locally,” he said.

“If you’ve got a vehicle that’s in a safe operating co n d i t i o n a n d h a s f i re fighting equipment p e r m a n e nt l y at ta ch e d, then we strongly encourage you to nominate it for the trial as soon as possible.”

NSW Farmers is hoping the t r ia l w i l l l ead to a permanent agreement on us i ng un reg i s te red fa r m fi re -fighting fleet legally and under the protection of third-party insurance.

Interested landholders should use the farm fi re fighting vehicle nomination form, which is dow n l oadab l e f rom the website: nsw.gov.au.

Reminder to make your homebush fire ready As we approach the end of summer, the NSW RFS has issued a reminder that it is never too late or too soon to reduce the risk of

bush fire damage to your property.

The RFS recommends five top steps that ever y home owner in a bush fire risk area should undertake: • Clear and remove all the debris and leaves from t h e g ut te r s s u r ro u n d i n g your home (burning embers can set your residence on fire).

• Mow grass and remove the cuttings. Having a cleared area around your home will give fire-fighters a safe area to work.

• Remove material that can burn from around your home. This includes items such as door mats, wood piles, mulch, leaves and outdoor furniture.

• Trim overhanging trees and shrubs. This can stop a f i re spreading to you r home.

• Prepare sturdy hoses

that can reach all around your home. Make sure you have a reliable source of water (pool, tank, dam) and a diesel/petrol pump available.

R F S N o r t h We s t Z o n e Inspector, Boyd Townsend, said that with the summer months bringing an increase in grassland cu r i ng, hei g hten i ng the likelihood of bush and grass fi re ignition, landowners should also be giving attention to fire breaks.

“Being a proactive landowner increases your chances of protecting your property from fire,” he said.

“Maintaining fire breaks around buildings, crops, p a s t u re, s to ra g e a re a s , a n d a l o n g fe n ce l i n e s , can help to prevent fi re escaping from, or entering, your property.”

Unsung heroes recognised More than a hundred people gathered at the Coonabarabran Town Hall on Sunday, 26 January, to celebrate the achievements of exemplary citizens across Warrumbungle Shire.

by MOLLY SHANNON Organised by 2357 Development Group Inc., with support from Warrumbungle Shire Council, the event featured lively entertainment from the Coonabarabran Orbital Swing Band and the Coonabarabran Men’s Choir, who performed a number of iconic Australian songs.

G u e s t s p e a k e r a nd A u s t r a l i a D ay Ambassador, Professor Hy William Chan, joined the celebrations, delivering heartfelt speeches in Coonabarabran, along with ceremonies at both Baradine and Binnaway.

Prof. Chan reflected on his family’s journey to Australia, expressing deep gratitude for the opportunities the country had provided.

“For me, the best part is the generosity [of the people]. To be able to join the community, be a local and join in on their celebrations,” Prof. Chan said.

“To me, you’re all the stars.”

B eyond the awa rds’ ceremony, P rof.

Chan embraced the Shire’s natural beauty and vibrant culture, enjoying stargazing, exploring the national park and sampling local cafes.

This year’s awards featured a number of categories, recognising individuals and groups for their outstanding contributions.

Senior Citizen of the Year, Geoff Gasior, has been a passionate advocate for the Coonabarabran Aero Club, working closely with Coonabarabran High School to cultivate students’ interest in aviation.

Mr Gasior’s efforts secured funding for a flight simulator at the school, fostering the next generation of pilots.

“When we first started, we said if we could get one in 20, we’d have done well – we now have four kids with their professional pilot license and one teacher studying to be a commercial pilot,” Mr Gasior said.

“School work might seem like nothing, but it has meaning and gets you to the rest of your life” T he R icker t fami ly received the Creativity and Innovation Award for their dedication to revitalising the Royal Hotel in Coonabarabran.

After 12 years of renovations, the pub has transformed into a vibrant community hub.

Senior Citizen of the Year: Geoffrey Gasior For over a decade Geoff Gasior has led the Flight Simulator Program at the Coonabarabran High School.

Geoff’s stewardship of the simulator project commenced in 2013 as secretary of the Coonabarabran Aero Club. Geoff applied for seed funding from the National Australia Bank to establish a flight simulator at Coonabarabran High School to encourage students’ interest in aviation and to benefit their studies in physics, engineering and mathematics.

Currently, vice president at the Coonabarabran Aero Club, Geoff has played a significant role in organising the Wings & Things community event.

His passion for engaging youth in the aeronautical industry was obvious at this event where he organised display flight simulators and taster flight lessons for students.

G e o f f ’ s organisation skills and tireless efforts to make the Wings & Things event a calendar highlight are invaluable to the entire community.

For many years Geoff volunteered his time as a flight instructor, working with his great mate

Col Mercer, who was the president of the Coonabarabran Aero Club at the time the partnership between the school and club for med.

More recently, it has been Geoff who has given so generously of his time each week at Coonabarabran High School to instruct students on the Flight Simulator.

Geoff’s patience and steadfast presence has provided the students a wonderful

role model and the legacy of this unique enrichment program continues t o t h r i v e . W it h ou t question, this facility has strengthened STEM learning at Coonabarabran High School.

The program has led to a number of Coonabarabran High School students gaining their pilot’s licence, drawing on Geoff’s expert tuition.

Geoff has been tireless in seeking funding from external

organisations including writing grant applications and attending community meetings to advocate for support. As a result, the initial Flight Simulator has been upgraded through this funding, and the future of the program is secure.

Geoff has made an extremely valuable contribution to the Coonabarabran High School and to the young people of our community.

Maria Rickert said was blown away by the support shown by the community for their new project.

“Without the community we’d be nothing… we’re side by side.”

Another worthy recipient of the Creativity and Innovation award was Coonabarabran’s SPACE Gallery, which was received by Kodi Brady, Cat Facchi and Caroline Parsons.

SPACE has proved to be an important meeting place for the community, while also providing a place for local and established artists to showcase their work.

Kodi Brady said SPACE was more than an art gallery, it was a place to build community.

“It’s inclusive. You’re important to us and you belong,” Mr Brady said, emphasising the gallery’s mission to create a welcoming space for artists and community members from all walks of life, age, sexuality or race.

One event local people are familiar with is the bi-annual Coonabarabran High School Musical, which was this year recognised with the Cultural Achievement Award for its smash hit ‘Legally Blonde: The Musical’.

Dr Michael Armstrong accepted the award on behalf of the cast, acknowledging the legacy of past productions and the collective effort of students and staff.

Dynamic husband and wife duo, Malcolm

a nd L au ra Ha r tley were awa rded the E nv i r on ment a l C it i z en s o f t he Ye a r award for their tireless efforts in keeping C o onaba rabra n lo ca l f lora a nd fau na thriving.

The couple has worked on the upkeep of the local environment for over 50 years and hosted a range of events to inspire others to take part in protecting the environment.

Speaking to the Hartley’s, it is clear how deeply they care about the land and our impact on it.

“We are lucky to have the environment we have, but it is under threat all the time,” Mrs Hartley said.

“We have to be mindful of our actions. If you can raise awareness and educate people, it’s helping in the long run.”

Mrs Hartley likened the care of the land to house work, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

T he Ha r tley ’s a n nou nced they were planning a future community event, ’Weed and Feed’, with more details to be announced.

The ceremony concluded with a Rotaryhosted sausage sizzle, wrapping up an evening that honoured many unsung heroes who have worked stead ily behind-thescenes for a number of years…and perhaps, inspiring a few more.

Environmental Citizens of the Year: Malcolm and Laura Hartley Malcolm and Laura Hartley have consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the health a n d p re s e r v a t i o n o f t h e environment. Their dedication has left an indelible mark on the local community, where they have lived for almost 50 years, and the broader environmental movement.

From the beginning of their involvement in environmental causes, Malcolm and Laura have put the natural world at the centre of everything they do. They are environmentally conscious in their own lives and go above and beyond to inspire and motivate others to act.

Their joint passion for protecting our planet is evident in their every endeavour.

Malcom and Laura were founding members of ‘Friends of the Pilliga’ – a group established in the early 2000s to address critical environmental issues in the region. Together, their leadership and commitment to environmental causes have made them pillars of this community initiative. Furthermore, as longtime supporters, committee members and later the driving force of Landcare since the 1990s, they have

contributed countless hours to the restoration and nurturing of the local environment.

Malcolm and Laura’s ability to secure substantial funding for local environmental projects is another testament to their impact. Thanks to their tireless work, they have been able to access tens of thousands of dollars in environmental grants, funding projects that benefit local biodiversity, land restoration, and sustainability.

They are dedicated to ensuring that the work they do extends beyond immediate efforts, creating lasting change for future generations.

In addition to their leadership and advocacy, Malcolm and Laura are not afraid of hard work when it comes to nurturing the environment. Whether it’s brush cutting around newlyplanted seedlings, watering, weeding or planting, they consistently roll up their sleeves and contribute physically t o t h e p re s e r v a t i o n a n d enhancement of our local nature-scape. Their dedication to these tasks is remarkable, and their example serves as an inspiration for all who work alongside them.

Young Environmental Citizen: Ava Harley Ava Harley joined Coonabarabran Junior Guides in February 2024 and has been a very active member of the Guides unit.

She attends meetings regularly and actively participates in all activities outside of the regular unit meetings.

Earlier in 2024, Ava participated in the community Clean Up Australia Day event held at Neilson Park, where she helped pick up rubbish and plant trees along the river.

Of particular note, was Ava’s extensive project to gain her ‘Advocacy Create a Challenge Badge’. Ava set her own challenge and goal to collect over 600 cans for the recycling ‘Return and Earn’ scheme, and donate the money received to a charity.

Ava chose to raise funds for the Cancer Council and as a result of her hard work and initiative collecting the cans, she eventually donated $63.30 to the Cancer Council charity service.

At just nine years old, Ava is proving to be an exemplary young community member, as she is really thinking of how she can care for her community and the environment in practical ways and then taking action to do so.

Ava is a very thoughtful and caring member of the Coonabarabran Junior Girls Guides Unit and we look forward to seeing the positive impacts she will make in our community in the years to come.

Cultural Achievement Award: Coonabarabran High School Musical Production Team for ‘Legally Blonde’ the musical Coonabarabran High School’s musical presentation of ‘Legally Blonde’ was a significant cultural achievement in 2024.

T h e p ro d u c t i o n o f t h e school musical draws on a significant team of people.

The ‘Legally Blond’ production involved a cast and crew of more than 100 people including staff, students and community members.

Per for ming over three nights in July 2024, the event was attended by more than 700 members of the local community. As a bi-annual event starting in 1984, the Coonabarabran High School’s musical performances are a vibrant display of community and student talents.

School musicals provide performers from the school and community groups an opportunity to collaborate a n d p e r f o r m t o g e t h e r, including groups such as the Orbital Swing Band and Coonabarabran Men’s Choir.

It is also an opportunity for

students to explore roles in lighting, sound, costume and stage management. Providing these important insights and opportunities to develop skills and talents is an asset to the whole community.

The ‘Legally Blonde’ per for mance showcased students from Years 7-12, who worked collaboratively to deliver an outstanding and inclusive production that captivated the entire audience – show after show.

Under the leadership of Dr Michael Armstrong, Ms Nicole Lewis and Mrs Sabina Gibson, the students not only developed and produced the performance, but also brought it to life on stage with their enthusiastic performances.

This event served as a valuable learning experience for the students, a meaningful contribution to the school’s culture, and great entertainment event for the wider community. Keep up the great work!

When they began, the family could not have foreseen the numerous hurdles and setback s th ey wo u l d face i n this endeavour. This included three years of drought which made investment impossible, two years of the COVID pandemic,

which made building impossible, a n d u n ex p e c te d re g u l a to r y requi rements imposed by the current building code.

Faced with these setbacks, the family has needed to be inventive and resourceful at every turn. They have demonstrated perseverance and dedication beyond expectations and have succeeded in revitalising Coonabarabran’s main street by providing an outstanding venue which everyone is loving. It is a

testament to their passion for our community.

Pi l l i g a Pot te r y h a s b e e n a beloved tour ist attraction for our town for near ly 4 0 years.

This award acknowledges how the Rickert family’s latest venture adds to the tourist and l oca l ex pe r i ence, p rovi des employment, and enriches our economy. The renovation of the Coonabarabran Royal Hotel is an outstanding example of creativity and innovation.

Stewart is being given this award to acknowledge his volunteer efforts with the board at Cooinda Aged Care and the Coonabarabran Jockey Club.

Stewart joined the Cooinda board in 1993 and worked tirelessly for 28 years with management and staff for the betterment of our agedcare residents. He served three terms as president, one of which included the building of the Merryula dementia unit. This involved liaising with builders and contractors and with the board and management to ensure the best possible outcomes for the enterprise.

Stewart became president of the Coonabarabran Jockey

Club in 2010 at a time when the club was experiencing challenges. He held this position until 2022 and was granted life membership in 2020 in acknowledgement of his commitment.

With an energetic and dedicated committee behind him, many working bees resulted over the years to create a venue at the racecourse of which the town can be very proud. The club continues to conduct a successful major event, the Coona Cup Race Meeting each October which attracts many people to our community and raises our town’s profile, a testimony to Stewart and the committee’s hard work.

2357 Development Group Inc Creativity and Innovation Award: SPACE Gallery This award for Creativity and Innovation goes to a number of people who have been responsible in recent years for creating a place in Dalgarno Street that has become known as the SPACE Gallery.

New accessible amenities for Tooraweenah Showground Visitors to Tooraweenah Showground are now able to use safe, accessible and parent-friendly facilities after the construction of a brand-new amenities block.

Crown Lands, part of the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, has funded the project through a $344,358 Crown Reserves Improvement Fund (CRIF) grant.

The Tooraweenah Showground hosts multiple events each year including a rodeo, endurance riding, working-dog trials, team roping and private functions. It is also the site for the annual Tooraweenah Agricultural Show, which brings the broader Gilgandra shire together

in a celebration of rural communities.

The new amenities block will ensure patrons and volunteers will have access to new, clean, modern amenities. The new block consists of four individual showers with a bench seat and hanging area. A parent-friendly accessible toilet with shower and baby change table has also been constructed, along with a dedicated storeroom for supplies and cleaning products. LED lights were also installed for energy efficiency and so the facilities can be used at night.

Toora weena h Showground is a community space that relies on its volunteers.

The new accessible amenities replaces old change rooms that were dilapidated and no longer fit for purpose.

The new, fully compliant amenities block and associated water and septic infrastructure meets current building codes and reduces energy and water use and will ease the need for continual maintenance work while also reducing costs.

Tooraweenah PA&H president Kylie Moppett

said having access to clean and modern facilities will make a huge difference to patron comfort and ensure a positive experience.

“When competitors have spent all day handling livestock it is very important to provide professional and hygienic facilities,” she said.

“This project is part of our long-term strategic plan to future proof the site for the next generation to enjoy and continue to grow.

The capacity to attract and maintain events ensures ongoing benefits both economically and

socially. It’s a win-win for our community.”

Member for Barwon Roy Butler congratulated the Tooraweenah community on its successful grant.

“This is very welcome news for the people of Tooraweenah and the visitors who will now be able to attend the showground,” Mr Butler said.

“Disability access and modern facilities help more people to enjoy events at the Showground. That also helps local businesses benefit, and events be more successful.”

Sadly, this incident is just the tip of the iceberg. Communities throughout my electorate have been dealing with youth crime for years, but over the past year it seems to have escalated and now it’s resulted in the death of an innocent man.

It should never have come to this, but enough is enough and our communities deserve to see some action to tackle this issue and help them feel safe.

I’m backing my state Nationa ls c ol leag ue, Member for Northern Tablel a nd s B r end a n Moylan in his calls for the NSW Government t o ta ke immed iat e action and deliver major legislative reforms to address this issue. In pa r ticula r, bail laws need to change so that c ou r t s c a n not g r a nt bail to repeat serious offenders, regardless of their age.

11 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 6 February 2025

We ca n’t keep throwing money at the issue and funding the same services that are currently not making a difference. Something needs to change i f we want to see real, tangible outcomes on the ground.

Australia Day honours I’d like to congratulate the eight people from the Parkes electorate who were named in the Au s t r a l i a D ay 2 0 2 5 Honours List, including Sha n na W ha n , f r om Narrabri, who received a Member of the Order of Australia (A M ); Dennis L owder, from

An incredible honour for each of these welldeserving individuals who contr ibute so much to our wonderful electorate!

L a s t y e a r , Coonabarabran and neighbouring centres in the central west of NSW experienced warmer and slightly drier conditions which extended into all of Victoria.

The total rainfall was 720mms on 92 days and was 30mms below the yearly average of 751mms.

The mean-maximum temperature for 2024 of 24.7 degrees was half a degree above normal.

The mean-minimum temperature of 9.5 degrees was two degrees above the annual average and was the highest on record dating back to 1880, surpassing 9.3 in 1990 and 9.4 degrees in 1973.

As a consequence there were only 60 days of frosts compared with the annual average of 85 days. Other years of fewer frosts in Coonabarabran were 54 days in 1950 and 55 days in 1973, which were both very wet years.

The highest temperature during 2024 was 38.5 degrees on 3 February and the lowest temperature was minus 3.7 degrees on 30 July.

The coldest day was 10.5 degrees on 16 July and the highest minimum temperature was 26.3 degrees on 5 February – the highest in any year since 2010.

The wettest day was 68mms on 29 November.

During January, Coonabarabran was slightly wetter, with 103.4mms, and cooler.

The mean maximum of 31.2 was half a degree below the January normal. The meanminimum temperature of 17.6 was the warmest for five years.

Other main centres tended to be warmer

and drier than usual extending well from Queensland to Victoria.

The onset of the northern monsoon has been unusually late, despite well above seasurface temperatures.

The rainfall in Darwin has been less than average for both December and January. However, in recent weeks, tropical low pressures over the northern part of Qld have delivered very heavy rain from Cooktown along the coast down to Proserpine. Cairns has had over 480mms the last fortnight, with flooding.

During the last four days the focus of the heavy rain has shifted to Townsville, where 544mms fell in just two days. This was Townsville’s third wettest two-day period since 1888. The two wetter days were 631mms in mid January 1998 and 638mms in late January 1892.

Very interesting to note that the first three months of 1892 and 1998 was much warmer and drier than usual all the way from Qld right down to all of Victoria, the only significant rain being in the third week of February.

March of both 1892 and 1998 was very hot and dry with heat-wave conditions of up to 40 degrees during the second week of March from southern outback Qld right down to all of Victoria.

Coona cricketers bowl in the new year with a win Coonabarabran’s cricket team had its first win of 2025, defeating Gidgee (Coonamble) at Baradine Oval on Saturday, 11 January.

I n pl e a s a n t conditions for cricket, Coona won the toss and sent Gidgee in to bat.

Gidgee was in trouble f r om t he out s et a nd was bowled out in the 19th over for 57 – Elvy McEwan (29) and Mark Stewart (11) the only batsmen to make double figures.

Successf u l bowlers for Coona were Oska B r o oke r (3 -13 ), B e n Hjor t (3 -16), Jer icho C hat f ield (2 -2 0) a nd Cameron Whittall (1-6).

A lthough chasing a relatively small total, Coona’s response was less than convincing.

T hey lost wickets stead i ly a nd fou nd themselves 4-37 after 14 overs.

At th at st age Da n Smith, who had bowled very well from the start of his spell, took a hat trick that left Coona at a precarious 7-38.

However, Jer i c ho C h at f ield s t o o d t a l l for C oona and, a f ter a cautious start to his in n ings, un leashed an array of good shots w h i c h t o o k C o o n a ’s score t o 7- 5 8 a nd victory. Jericho finished on 27 not out.

The only other batsman to reach double f ig ures was Darcy Strong, who made 10.

A talking point from Coona’s innings was that all batsmen dismissed were bowled, a quite unusual event.

The successful wicket takers for Gidgee were Dan Smith (5-11) and Elvy McEwan (2-16).

A l t h o u g h disappointed with how they batted, the Coona b oy s wer e del i g ht e d with their win Coona v Gilgandra C o on a ba r a br a n’s c r ic ket t e a m lo s t t o Tow n S er v ices, f rom Gilgandra, at Coona’s No 3 Oval on Saturday, 18 January.

As the innings progressed, other solid contr ibutions came from Dale Parker (22) a nd A d a m H a z elt on (14 not out), but the knock that ultimately secured v ictor y for Tow n S er v ic es c a me from their captain, Ash Hazelt on, who, a f ter open i ng the batti ng, m ade 74 a nd wa sn’t d i s m i s s e d u nt i l t he score had reached 122.

A critical incident investigation was declared after a motorcyclist died following a pursuit with a stolen vehicle.

The motorcyclist was reported as being a 52-year-old man from Narrabri.

Call for youth crime action Produce prices fail to fall Continued from front page

“The Minns Labor government needs to look at what Queensland and the Northern Territory are doing and get tough on law and order. Those of us who live in country towns deserve to feel safe.

“Enough is enough.”

Queensland has introduced new laws targeting youth crime with minimum sentences for offences including murder, manslaughter, serious assault, breakins and dangerous operation of vehicles increased. This was a policy described as “adult crime, adult time.”

In early January, it was reported that in excess of 200 young offenders had been arrested since the laws were introduced.

In the Northern Territory, the age of criminal responsibility was lowered from 12-years-old to 10-years-old.

Following last week’s incident, Cr Pearse said the community was incredibly saddened by the events which resulted in the tragic death of an innocent man.

“The condolences of our entire Moree Plains Shire community goes out to his loved ones, his family and friends.

“They will no doubt be looking for answers as to how this could

have been avoided,” Cr Pearse said.

“More than one life was ruined ... the perpetrators involved will need to live with the results of their actions, and with a critical incident investigation underway, police who already have a tough job will have their handling of the matter put under the microscope.

“There are no wins, only immeasurable loss.

Cr Pearse said the community has been saying for some time that enough is enough.

“The systems designed to protect our community and our youth are clearly not working as they should,” Cr Pearse said.

“I met with the Premier and Police Minister Catley in mid-November where I shared our community’s very real concerns regarding the increase in frequency and severity of youth crime. I have also requested a hearing for the NSW government’s Inquiry into Community Safety in Regional and Rural Communities to be held here in the Moree Plains.

“This is a complex problem and all options need to be explored in terms of how to address it and ensure community safety.

“It is, however, beyond the

realm of local government.

“The NSW government and the Premier’s Department is implementing a broad range of initiatives for our community which we appreciate will take time to reveal results, but one life taken is one too many.

“This tragedy must be a turning point, and a catalyst for the NSW government to take swift and decisive action to protect our community and prevent further loss.”

Responding to youth crime in the Moree area, the state government previously announced $13.4 million for a targeted response through funding for various agencies and organisations as well as a bail accommodation service.

Legislation has also been amended, with changes to the Bail Act, and a new offence for “posting and boasting”.

Premier Chris Minns offered his condolences to the “families, friends and loved ones grieving this profoundly tragic event”.

“A critical incident team from Orana Mid-Western Police District has begun an investigation into what happened,” the Premier said.

“I understand that three boys have been arrested and refused bail.”

CLEARING SALE

with inflation: NSW Farmers Farmers are questioning why fruit and vegetable prices haven’t come down in line with new inflation figures.

Last Wednesday, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that while inflation had dropped to a three-year low, fruit and vegetable prices went up by 6.3 per cent in 2024 alone.

NSW Farmers’ Horticulture Committee chair Jo Brighenti-Barnard said the big supermarkets have been quick to blame inflation for rising costs over the last couple of years, but slow to bring prices down now that inflation has dropped to its lowest point in years.

“The data shows that consumers are still paying through the nose to put food on the table, while most farmers aren’t receiving any greater returns for what they’re growing,” Ms Brighenti-Barnard said.

“Without price transparency, the major supermarkets are still likely to use their profit push practices, and we remain concerned they’re taking advantage of their market power – as well as other factors like shortages and seasonality of products – to

extract huge profits from farmers and families alike."

As the nation’s consumer watchdog prepares to hand down the results of its inquiry into the major supermarkets next month, Ms Brighenti-Barnard warned comprehensive reform of the nation’s competition landscape remained vital for households across the country.

“Cost-of-living has been the catchcry of many politicians, but we need to see real change if we want to ease the pressure on farmers and families that just want to put food on the table,” Ms Brighenti-Barnard said.

“This change must include solutions to increase price transparency and give us clear visibility of prices at the farmgate and the checkout, so we can see when profits are being sucked unfairly out of the middle.

“Expanded powers and funding for our consumer watchdog are also much-needed, alongside an economy-wide prohibition on unfair trading practices and new divestiture powers to bust apart duopolies if and when necessary, so farmers and families can get a fair go.”

Bruce Gray’s dedication to Wee Waa honoured

By DYLAN SMITH AND GENEVIEVE MAUNDER

Bruce Gray’s unwavering dedication to the Wee Waa community has been acknowledged as this year’s Narrabri Shire Citizen of the Year.

Mr Gray’s announcement as the recipient of the top honour was met with applause at the shire’s awards ceremony.

Six finalists were announced for the honour, with the nominees spanning a range of community,

social and service organisations.

However, it was Mr Gray – a community volunteer for many decades – who claimed the ward. Mr Gray has been involved in many committees, such as Wee Waa Lions. Always willing to help and looking at ways to improve and benefit the Wee Waa community’s wellbeing, Mr Gray’s continued service and commitment is demonstrated by his ongoing involvement in all areas of service to Wee Waa organisations.

Mr Gray was one of the instigators in getting the Weeronga Aged

Care Hostel and now combined with the Karinga committee, to improve the Karinga village aged care services.

Mr Gray contributed positively to the Wee Waa Doctor Housing project, co-ordinating with contractors and contributing many hours of physical labour to ensure the project was a success.

Additionally, he has been part of the working committee regarding the Wee Waa Hospital services.

Mr Gray’s accolades include life membership of Wee Waa Apex in 1989, a Rotary Paul Harris

Fellowship in 1997 in ‘recognition of service to community’ and Wee Waa Lions Senior Citizen Award in 2023.

Addressing the gathering assembled at the awards ceremony, Mr Gray paid tribute to his wife Kay for her continued support.

“It means a lot because I love this community and I like helping people, it’s as simple as that,” Mr Gray said after Australia Day. “I was quite shocked when I received this honour.

“I couldn’t believe how far my efforts had taken me.

“The person who has been my biggest supporter is my wife Kay. “She involves herself in helping the community alongside me and she constantly backs me.”

Mr Gray said there are people in the community who contribute just as much as he does.

“I want to thank the Lions Club for always supporting the community and myself,” he said.

“I was always taught to help others and involve yourself in the community.

“That was engrained in me from my parents and grandparents.”

Leonie Harley awarded for community service

By SAM WOODS

editorial@gunnedahtimes.com.au

Gunnedah’s 2025 Citizen of the Year Leonie Harley has called on the business community to help save one of its long-running local organisations.

The community woman was recognised with the prestigious honour during the shire’s Australia Day awards ceremony at The Civic.

“It was very unexpected but you don’t do it for the accolades, you do it for the satisfaction (and) it’s lovely to be appreciated,” Mrs Harley said.

The Citizen of the Year holds life membership at not one but four notfor-profit community organisations in Gunnedah including the show society, eisteddfod society, country women’s association and meals on wheels.

She is also involved in the ladies show auxiliary, rescue helicopter support group, the northern branch of the stock horse association, cancer support groups and junior rugby league in Gunnedah, among others.

Although all organisations rely on volunteers to operate, Mrs Harley singled out

the Meals on Wheels service - which she been a part of for more than 50 years - as needing more help than most.

“It’s a vital service in the community,” she said.

To ease the burden for its many elderly volunteers, Mrs Harley called on the business community to assist with the meal service.

“Business owners could join the roster and once a month one of their staff could do the run,” she said.

“It is the only way we’ll keep it alive, because like all charitable organisations, we’re vitally short of young people.”

Volunteer of the Year The 2025 Ozzie and Beryl Campbell Volunteer of the Year award winner was Rosemary Flett who thanked her support for their efforts.

“It feels wonderful (to be awarded) although I do appreciate all the help I’ve been given from family and friends, everyone who has helped,” she said.

The talented musician performs for older Australians across the Gunnedah district.

Gunnedah shire mayor Colleen Fuller, Glennie and Ashley Scott and Australia Day Ambassador to Gunnedah, Patrick Warmoll, present the Evelyn Wise Citizen of Year award to Leonie Harley.

“I play keyboard and pipe organ in our church, and I visit Alkira, Apex Road, used to go to Boggabri, Go Co and the Singalongs,” she said.

“When I started I was playing for the elderly - now I’m up here with them.”

Mrs Flett said the music visits provide more than just entertainment for the mature-aged crowd.

“It is serving people - I’ve always believed the most important thing you can give children and more senior folk is your time,” she said.

“That’s what it’s really about.

“Sometimes they’re lonely and they love to see people who care.”

Mrs Flett said the enjoyment from her music has never waned and she vowed to continue her volunteering in the future.

“I love what I do and will do it while ever I can,” she said.

Eve Turner Trophy The Eve Turner Perpetual Trophy was awarded to the late Moana Gurewitz [Shoobert].

Awarded each year to a retired person who has continued to dedicate their time and efforts to impart their knowledge and skills to others in the community, Moana’s award was accepted by husband Phil.

“This completely caught us by surprise,” Mr Gurewitz said.

“Moana would be delighted to receive such an award.

“I’m speechless.”

Gunnedah shire mayor Colleen Fuller said the award was well deserved for selfless service.

“Very excited about Moana, her and I were very good friends,” an emotional Cr Fuller said.

“So beautiful for her to win that.”

The mayor said a local scholarship will named in Moana’s memory – a woman who unconditionally gave much for her community.

“For someone who came to this country, worked hard and struggled to get where she did in life and to give, never asking anything from anybody, it was a real privilege to be her friend,” she said.

The Max and Mikie Maas Good Neighbour Award was presented to Vince Tydd.

“I’ve always enjoyed helping people,” Mr Tydd said.

“Just the pleasure of helping someone is what I thoroughly enjoy.”

The award is presented to a person who is a quiet achiever, lives quietly out of the public eye but is well- known to family, friends and neighbours as someone who gives freely of their time to lend a neighbourly hand, without looking for anything in return.

Also recognised at the ceremony were Linda Lee and Kate Knight, who were awarded the Community Achievement Award; the Multicultural Women’s Association which was presented the Cultural Achievement Award and McLean Care Alkira – the Environmental Citizen of the Year award.

This year’s Australia Day Ambassador to Gunnedah was Patrick Warmoll – the managing director of Jack’s Creek beef.
