Vale Max Estens: A life in print The community lost one of its quiet pillars on Thursday, 27 July, with the passing of former Coonabarabran Times editor Max Estens. He was 65.

Max’s name was etched into the fabric of the Coonabarabran Times for more than four decades.

From humble beginnings as a teenager in the print room, Max commenced duties as a tablehand and steadily rose through the ranks, mastering the art and craft of local newspaper production.

From hand-pasting pages to operating the Heidelberg press and later embracing digital publishing, Max helped guide the paper through the most significant technological changes in its history.

In 2023, Max put down the tools, marking an impressive 45-year career in the industry, having contributed to more than 2250 editions of the Times .

But his influence never left the newsroom.

Max’s legacy lives on, not only in the newspaper he helped shape, but through his daughter, Kait Britton, who now serves as editor of the Coonabarabran Times.

Together with his wife and business partner, Lynne Estens, Max built a reputation for integrity, independence and unwavering service to the Warrumbungle community.

Under their stewardship, the Times has remained fiercely local and proudly family-owned.

Max will be remembered as a quiet achiever – a skilled printer, a steady leader, a talented photographer and devoted family man whose legacy goes beyond ink and paper to one of service, resilience and deep connection to community.

He is survived by Lynne, their children, Kait, Zachary and Tori and grandchildren Cash, Jedd and Willa.

The Coonabarabran Times extends its heartfelt thanks for the outpouring of love from all who knew and loved Max. A graveside service celebrating Max’s life will be held at Native Grove Cemetery, Coonabarabran, on Thursday, 8 August, commencing at 11am.

In light of our loss, there will be no further editions of the Coonabarabran Times during August. The next edition of the Coonabarabran Times will be published on Thursday, 4 September.

26 years in your ears: 2WCR-FM 2WCR-FM turned 25 last year, a major feat for the small, community radio station.

by MOLLY SHANNON Radio has changed drastically over the years, with technological a d va n c e m e n t s transfor ming not only how we listen to it, but also how it’s produced.

However, 2WCR-FM is special in the fact that it is doing it differently.

It owns all its own music and, unlike other radio stations, does not rely on streaming services such as Spotify for its music.

T h e rad i o i s a t i m e capsule of a mi x of mode r n and ‘old’ technologies. And, thanks to some recent funding, 2WCR-FM will be able to update its station and add a new studio.

“We’ve al ways planned to have a second studio, but you need a fair bit of money to do that,” said station founder and announcer, Mr Rob Dean.

“It’ll be a couple of months before I’ve got [t h e s t u d i o] f i n i s h e d.

I’ll be completely rearranging one of the ro o m s , p u t t i n g s o m e new wiring in and buying new m icrophones fo r the set up.

“Each studio will have t wo CD player s a n d a U S B h u b, s o i f you’ve pu rchased music at home, you can bring it in, plug in your memory stick, and play it directly.”

“We’re prett y we l l u p - to - d ate w i t h t e c h n o l o g y, b u t w e don’t go anywhere near a live stream source of m u s i c, b e ca u s e yo u’ have to be able to show that the music has been purchased.”

I n d e p e n d e nt l y r u n and operated, the radio relies on volunteers and volunteer announcers, who each play a vital ro l e i n keepi ng the

station going.

Daily news updates are provided by radio journalism students from Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, while weather updates from the Bureau of Meteorology are announced by volunteers at the station.

“There are six volunteers who basically do weather reading for Coonabarab ran here at the station,” Mr Dean said.

“We really like getting the news’ bulletin from Charles Sturt – and we pay for it, because it’s supporting future radio journalists.”

The station doesn’t discriminate, boasting a wide variety of shows and music for anyone and everyone. “ We h ave a rea l mixture. We play quite a bit of Indigenous music, we play a lot of country music, some easy rock and roll – we even have o n e a n n o u n ce r w h o likes to do pretty heavy metal stuff, but he’s got his own followers,” Mr Dean said.

“There’s a couple of talk shows, and they’ll b e ta l k i n g a n d t h e n p l ay i ng a l it tl e b it of music. Then there’s one w h e re t h ey fo cu s o n spor ts, whereas other a n n o u n ce r s w i l l p l a y more music, then talk a little about the music they’re playing.”

Mr Dean is passionate about radio and letting everyone “have a go”.

He has wor ked to set up programs with both o f C o o n a b a r a b r a n’s primary schools, as well as with members of BreakThu. “The school programs are ver y good for the kids, because they have to use a microphone and they get more confident in their speech,” he said.

“T he s tati on ha s

been good for the people from BreakThru as well, and we’ve got t wo announcers from there who do their weekly programs – and they manage it all themselves.

“A nd, up u nt i l ve r y recent times, we had a boy who really loved doi ng hi s p rog ram, it gives these people a chance to have a go on the radio.”

2WCR-FM has inspired several students involved in the community radio to pursue careers in the f i e l d – s o m et h i n g M r Dean is visibly proud of. “ Wh at’s i nte res t i n g is that people who have gone on into that side of life – journalism a n d ra d i o – t h ey’ve all acknowledged that they learned the g ra s s root s activit y at the com mun it y rad io station,” Mr Dean said.

Thanks to technology, streaming has now made listening to the radio more accessible.

You can tune in to almost any radio station just by searching and playing it on your phone.

Streaming success Streaming has been a big positive for 2WCRFM, opening the station up to a wider audience – not just local ly, but a c ro s s Au s t ra l i a a n d even around the world.

“We do surveys, and the sur veys show that quite a few people listen to the radio. You can pick us up anywhere on your phone, and that’s been really good,” Mr Dean said.

“More listeners have come in because some p e o p l e d o n’t h a ve radios anymo re, they just have their phones a n d t h a t m e a n s yo u can j ust l i sten to us anywhere.

“Last year, when we we re cove r i n g r ug by

union, we found a lot of people were tuning in, which means that you can go to the football m a tc h a n d p u t yo u r phone on and listen to the live commentators.

“We have a number of listeners from America a n d , j u s t r e c e n t l y, I fo u nd o ut that th e re a re l o ca l s w h o h a ve a fam i l y mem be r i n London and they were

listening to us.

“A lot of people who stream us are actually from Coonabarabran o r i g i n a l l y, b u t h a v e m o v e d a w a y. T h e y like keeping in touch with what’s happening here.”

Community support is what has kept 2WCR-FM going and Mr Dean said and from that support they have been able

to update the station’s facilities.

“Community support helps us a lot, we have various businesses who suppor t us through sponsorship, and va r ious o rganisations make donations to us – so it really is based on the l oca l com m un it y supporting the station,” he said.

2WCR- FM r uns 24/7

t h ro u g h o u t t h e ye a r and is accessible through either the s ta t i o n’s we b s i te, by radio, or via streaming.

And, as for how much it has changed?

“I guess over time it has evolved, but essentially it’s a music station, it’s an information station – a n d t h a t h a s n’t changed.”

Illegal tobacco prosecution Warrumbungle Shire Council has reaffirmed its commitment to public safety and lawful business operations following two major compliance outcomes in Coonabarabran.

O n T u e s d ay, 2 2 July 2025, prosecution proceedings were finalised at Coonaba rabran Local Court against the operator of premises found to be supplying prohibited tobacco products.

The charges, which involved serious breaches of fire safety and planning legislation, were brought under the Environmental Planning and Assessment ( D e v e l o p m e n t Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

T he of fender was charged with: • Obstruction of Fire Exits: Placing objects that obstructed free passage i n a desig nated f i re exit area, contravening

the Env i ron menta l Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021; • Unauthor ised Development Activity: Conducting development not in accordance with g ranted development consent, contravening the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

The court issued fines totalling $4000, alongside a 12-month Community Corrections Order. All seized tobacco products were forfeited to the Crown.

The following day, at 12 noon on 23 July, a second operation unfolded when Warrumbungle Shire Council, NSW Police Force and NSW Health carried out a targeted

inspection at a Dalgarno Street premises. This joint-agency operation followed earlier safety concerns and ongoing investigations relating to fire-safety breaches and the supply of prohibited tobacco products.

W hat sta r ted as a routi ne i nspection quickly escalated when officers discovered hidden underfloor compartments c ont a i n i ng over 5 0 0 packets of prohibited cigarettes, ‘chop chop’ loose tobacco, 26 vapes, and nicotine pouches.

These items were seized on the spot.

Given the serious risks to public health, a Cease Use (Emergency) Order was immediately issued under the Environmental Planning and Assessment

Act 1979, and the retail premises was closed and evacuated.

Further prosecution is now being considered, and compliance is actively being monitored with the assistance of NSW Police.

Council said these back-t o -back ac tions show just how important coordinated enforcement e f fo r t s a r e whe n it comes to protecting local c o m mu n i t i e s . F r o m reducing fire hazards to preventing the illegal sale of unsafe tobacco products, they said these out comes h igh l ight the power of teamwork between agencies and the ongoing work behind the scenes to keep the Warrumbungle Shire a safe and fair place to live and do business.

Celebrating the people behind the services: Local Government Week Warrumbungle Shire Council is joining councils across NSW to celebrate Local Government Week 2025, running from Monday, 4 August to Sunday, 10 August. The week shines a spotlight on the vital work councils do in their communities, from delivering core services to creating vibrant, liveable towns.

T h i s y e a r , Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i r e Council is recognising not just the ser vices it provides, but the local people behind them.

From water infrastructure and road maintenance to finance, compliance, ear ly education, and customer ser vice, the spotlight will be on the diverse team members w ho keep the Sh i re running every day.

“Local Government Week is an opportunity to recognise the widereaching role Council plays in our community and to acknowledge the hard work of our staff,” s a i d Wa r r u m b u n g l e Sh i re Co u n ci l m ayo r, co u n ci l l o r Kath r y n Rindfleish.

“People often associate Council with things l ike roads and infrastructure, but there is so much more happening behind the scenes. Our teams a r e o u t t h e r e eve r y day making a real d i f f e r e n c e, w h e t h e r it’s fixing infrastructure, planning for the future, supporting families, or helping someone at the front counter. They’re locals who genuinely care about their communities – and we’re proud to celebrate their

contributions.”

Lo ca l G ove r n m e nt Week invites residents to look beyond the dayto-day and see councils fo r what they tr uly a re, dive r se, people focused organisations that provide essential services and meaningful suppo r t acros s eve r y stage of life. Council’s work touches everything from pools and parks to wa s te m a n a g e m e nt, l o c a l e v e n t s , building regulation, e nv i r o n m e n ta l protection, and economic development.

Warrumbungle Shire Council staff members (back) Dan Smallgood and Nik Kaloper, (middle) Lisa Miller, (front) Amy Harris and Mel Stewart.

What are your main roles and responsibilities?

As Warrumbungle Water Project Manager, I drive the delivery of eight major capital projects across the Shire, focusing on critical infrastructure upgrades. These include essential improvements to three sewage treatment plants and five water supply schemes. My responsibilities span procurement, risk management, budget oversight, and scheduling. I also contribute to strategic planning, research, and the design of the upgrades, aiming to build resilience and reliability in water and sewerage services.

How did you get started in Local Government?

I started my career in local government just 18 months ago after spotting a job listing for the Water Technical Officer in the Coolah Diary. The opportunity to contribute to essential services like water and sewer immediately caught my attention. I hoped that my background in science, mathematics, and information technology, would position me well for the role, which turned out to be true. Since joining, I’ve become completely immersed in the fascinating fields of water and wastewater treatment. It marks an unexpected chapter in my life, but one that has become a very welcome surprise.

Dan Smallwood Chief Financial Officer

What are your main roles and responsibilities?

As the CFO for Warrumbungle Shire Council, my role is to provide strong financial leadership that supports both the day-to-day operations and long-term strategic direction of the Council. I oversee budgeting, financial planning, and reporting to ensure we remain fiscally responsible and compliant with all legislative requirements. I also manage risk, assets, and treasury functions to safeguard the Council’s financial health. A big part of my role is working closely with internal teams, Councillors, and the community to ensure transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making. Ultimately, my focus is on building financial sustainability that supports the needs of our region now and into the future.

How did you get started in Local Government?

After a successful career in corporate banking, I made the decision to transition into local government to align my professional skills with my personal values. I felt a strong desire to contribute more directly to the wellbeing and development of the community I call home.

Moving into local government has allowed me to apply my financial expertise in a more meaningful way, supporting local services, infrastructure, and long-term planning that directly impact the quality of life for residents. It’s been a fulfilling shift from profit-driven outcomes to purpose-driven work that strengthens the place where I live with my family.

What’s your favourite part of working for Warrumbungle Shire Council?

My favourite part of working with Council is being surrounded by likeminded people with a common goal. Whether it’s the maintenance of roads, parks, waste services, planning, water or sewer, everyone’s effort is dedicated to providing essential services to the community. The sense of teamwork and collegiality is a great motivating force on a daily basis.

What’s something about your job most people wouldn’t expect?

I don’t think many people would expect the enormous complexity that surrounds supplying water to homes and safely collecting the resulting wastewater. When considering the vast underground infrastructure, the sophisticated scientific and engineering challenges concerning treatment processes, and the regulatory and legislative frameworks that preside over each step in the process, it’s easy to forget everything that goes into turning on a tap and flushing to the toilet. It has forever changed the way I appreciate what I once took for granted!

When you’re not at work, where would we find you around town?

Outside of work you’d only find me in town for a brief moment, collecting a few supplies to take up to Coolah Tops National Park. I really enjoy nature, and more specifically, birdwatching. You’d find me with a pair of binoculars and a copy of The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia, hoping to spot birds I’ve yet to see. I’m forever hoping to see a Regent Honeyeater or a Swift Parrot – that said, I enjoy seeing all the birds, rare or common. I especially enjoy spending time with my two pet cockatiels, Karl and Michael.

What’s your favourite part of working for Warrumbungle Shire Council?

My favourite part of working for Warrumbungle Shire Council is the collaborative approach we take in delivering outcomes for our community. There’s a strong sense of shared purpose across the organisation and everyone is committed to making a real difference.

We work together across teams and departments to achieve that. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a workplace where open communication, mutual respect, and community focused values are at the heart of what we do.

What’s something about your job most people wouldn’t expect?

One of the most surprising parts of my role as CFO has been just how deeply involved I am across all areas of Council, not just the financials. While I expected to focus primarily on budgets and reporting, I’ve found that my role requires a solid understanding of every division, from infrastructure and planning to community services and regulatory functions. Financial decisions are so closely linked to operational outcomes that being effective in this role means staying connected to the broader organisational context. It’s been both challenging and rewarding to develop that wider perspective and contribute to the bigger picture of how we deliver for the community.

What does a typical day in your role look like?

A typical day in my role as CFO at Warrumbungle Shire Council is always dynamic and usually starts with a much needed coffee or two, as I’m a big coffee lover! My mornings often involve reviewing financial reports (at this time of year), meeting with the executive team/managers to discuss strategic priorities/projects. But one of the most important parts of my day is making time to connect with staff across different teams. I’m a huge people person, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know everyone, whether it’s catching up with someone in the hallway or sitting down with teams to understand their challenges and goals. Being present, approachable, and building those relationships is something I value just as much as the numbers. It’s that balance of people and purpose that makes each day so rewarding.

Nik Kaloper

Warrumbungle Water Project Manager

What are your main roles and responsibilities?

I’m a Compliance Officer. I undertake all Ranger duties as well as the duties of the Environmental Compliance Officer. I handle animal issues, environmental compliance issues, weekly water testing, food shop inspections, biodiversity agreements, abandoned cars, overgrown blocks, illegal dumping, firearm control, issuing orders and fines, microchipping animals, cleaning the animal pound, conducting investigations, public engagement activities and a million other duties as they arise!

How did you get started in Local Government?

I applied for a lesser role and was fortunate enough that during the interview, when I expressed interest in the Compliance Officer position instead, the Director of Environment and Development Services recognised that my skills as a security guard would be beneficial in this area. I was offered the job and three years later, here I am with a Cert IV, a Diploma in my field, and a multitude of other qualifications.

I really enjoy my job and have made it my goal to be as highly qualified as I can in this field. I’m currently studying Criminology and Justice, and last year I was elected to the Australian Institute of Local Government Rangers Committee, which was a huge honour.

Amy Harris Educator

What are your main roles and responsibilities?

As an Educator, I see my role in the community as much more than just teaching children. My job is to build connections, inspire and support children throughout their early years, and make a positive impact on both the children and their families.

As a Connect Five Educator, I get to travel to different communities and see firsthand how families make the most of these opportunities to come together and connect with one another.

What’s your favourite part of working for Warrumbungle Shire Council?

Working for Council is a great opportunity to learn and advance your career. They offer excellent training if you’re willing. The job is quite flexible, and Council has always been supportive when I’ve needed flexibility. I really appreciate the “family comes first” attitude.

What’s something about your job most people wouldn’t expect?

The amount of paperwork involved! It’s a thankless job at times and takes a high level of mental strength and calmness to keep going on the tough days. But there are little wins that make it all worthwhile.

When you’re not at work, where would we find you around town?

I’m usually working security or enjoying a quiet coldie at one of our many great pubs. You might also find me playing in the darts comp or a tennis match or, if you’re quick enough, you might catch me out on my motorbike enjoying a ride.

How did you get started in Local Government?

After I graduated high school in 2021, I applied for a role in Children’s Services and I’ve been here ever since, starting out as a casual, then part-time, and now working full-time as an Early Childhood Educator.

What are your main roles and responsibilities?

Customer Service Officer for our Council and the Service NSW Agency.

How did you get started in Local Government?

A chance comment from our realtor led me to apply for a job at Council and make the “tree change” and move to the gorgeous Warrumbungle Shire.

What’s something about your job most people wouldn’t expect?

That no two days are ever the same.

From processing payments and helping with licence renewals to giving directions or answering questions about Council services, there’s always something new to tackle and plent y of unexpec ted conversations along the way.

What’s something about your job most people wouldn’t expect?

Something people outside of early childhood education don’t often see is how intentional our everyday work is. Our programs and activities are carefully planned to support children’s development and are tailored to suit every child’s unique needs.

Customer Service / Service NSW Officer

What’s your favourite part of working for Warrumbungle Shire Council?

Working alongside a great team and being able to assist the public with their enquiries, but most of all I am grateful to live here and call the Shire my home.

What’s your favourite part of working for Warrumbungle Shire Council?

Warrumbungle Shire Council advocates for Early Childhood Educators and recognises the importance of our role, not only in our own community but also in the surrounding communities we provide services to.

When you’re not at work, where would we find you around town?

If I’m not at work, you’ll more than likely find me at footy training, on a walk, or catching up with my close friends over a few beverages.

What local event or project are you proud to have been part of?

The Coolah Christmas Parade - our family has been a part of the parade with decorated floats over the past few years.

A highlight is the positive energy of the day as we all come together and there are lots of laughs shared and smiles to be seen by everyone.

Blake Estes’ starry-eyed lens Blake Estes may spend his nights exploring the cosmos through a telescope, but recenlty he turned his gaze earthward, debuting five carefully chosen photographs in a Bellingen art exhibit. From galaxies to glowing fungi, his images reflect a deep love for both science and nature.

by MOLLY SHANNON By day, Blake Estes works at Siding Spring Observatory, chasing his passion for stars and science, but in his spare time, he’s guided by another love – photography.

A familiar face around town, often seen taking photos at various events, photography is a hobby which Mr Estes hasn’t really allowed to be showcased...until recently.

On the 7 June 2025, Mr Estes took part in a gallery exhibit in Bellingen alongside six other photographers.

Each displayed works that explored the theme ‘How We See the World’.

“The theme, How We See the World, was an opportunity to showcase what each person finds beautiful in nature, and how they photograph it,” Mr Estes said, “You can get 10 different photographers and put them in the same room and have them photograph the same subject, and everybody will take a different picture.”

Mr Estes said it was “kind of an accident” to be part of the Bellingen art exhibition.

“I went into a frame shop in Bellingen – and it turned out that one of the owners was quite interested photography.

I asked if they would be interested in selling some of my prints – and he agreed,” Mr Estes

said.

On a return visit, the gallery co-owner told Mr Estes that a visitor had recently dismissed photography as “not real art,” which inspired them to host an exhibit celebrating the medium.

Mr Estes was invited to contribute five of his best images.

“So, the owners decided that they were going to have a exhibition showcasing photography in their gallery and they welcomed me to pick out five of my best photos for the exhibit,” Mr Estes said.

The result was a successful exhibition, drawing steady crowds thanks in part to the Writers Festival running at the same time.

“We had quite a few people come through the gallery...unfortunately though, we haven’t sold anything yet, but it was nice to see my art up on the wall instead of just sitting on my hard drive like most things do,” he said.

Mr Estes said selecting just five images from thousands was not an easy task, but he was pleased with the result His choices mixed his love for nature and science, with his favourite being a bioluminescent mushroom he stumbled upon while staying with a friend.

“We were staying at one of Kat’s friends place…and her friend comes up and says, ‘you have to check this out,

there’s a glow-in-thedark mushroom’,” Mr Estes said, “Unfortunately, the first time I wasn’t prepared, so the next month Kat and I went back and there were actually two of the mushrooms.

“As soon as you turned your torch off it showed up like those glow-inthe-dark stars that you put on your ceiling as a kid – it was that bright.

I got a beautiful photo and I was pretty happy with it.”

The other images included a 25-hour exposure of the galaxy Messier 101, an image of the Carina Nebula which he adjusted to give ‘false colour’, a macro photo of a redback spider that he encountered by chance, and a striking image of a bird taken at the Observatory.

“There was an Eastern Spinebill zipping around in between the bottlebrush trees by the Exploratory up at the Observatory,” Mr Estes said, “I got a picture of him perched in between these two flower stalks that are dried out, looking over his back at me. It ended up being, I think, everyone’s favourite image – it was a big hit.”

What Mr Estes didn’t expect, however, was the emotional impact of sharing his work.

“Photography is my kind of therapy, and I didn’t realise at the time how important it

check.

“It felt nice to have that artwork on a medium other than a computer screen, it kind of felt like winning an award or something!”

While the ‘How We See The World’ exhibit was Mr Estes first, it won’t be his last. He is planning some exciting things for the future, with a number of exhibits

in the works.

“Kodi at SPACE gallery has offered to host an exhibition for me, which I’m hoping to have in October – so that will be exciting.”

ROTARY WRAP UP Hi there! I’d like to introduce myself – I’m Heidi McGlashan. I grew up in Coonabarabran a nd have recently returned ‘home’. I’m now a Rotarian and will be bring ing you reg ular updates from our Coonabarabran Rotary Club. I’m stepping into some big shoes, following Jo Wilkin who has been submitting Rotary news to the Coonabarabran Times for many years (Jo was also my English teacher, so there may be some pressure here!)

I hope you enjoy catching up on what we have been up to and how we are supporting our local and international community.

At ou r meeti ng on 2 8 Ju ly, we wer e s o fortunate to have Kada Hutt as our guest speaker to share her incredible experience on The Young Endeavour. Kada is our Coonabarabran Rotary representative at RYLA in October, so we were ver y excit ed t o hea r about her adventures on the tall ship!

The ship itself was a g i f t f r om t he U K to Austra lia in 198 8 t o commemorat e ou r B ic ent en a r y. K ad a’s journey was 11 days, and they sailed from Gladstone to Cairns through quite tumultuous waters, but that only added to the adventu re! T h is was

Shire hosts future leaders On Wednesday, 24 July, Warrumbungle Shire Council welcomed the region’s emerging young leaders to Coonabarabran for the annual Prefect’s Luncheon. It was a day designed to inspire, engage and empower the Shire’s next generation of change makers.

Captains and prefects from the six local high schools across the Shire – Mendooran Central, Coolah Central, Baradine Central, Binnaway Central, Coonabarabran High and Dunedoo Central – gathered for a unique behind-thescenes experience in local government.

The event included a meet and greet with senior Council staff and councillors Naomi Taylor and Zoe Holcombe, along with an address by mayor Kathryn Rindfleish.

The students also heard from Warrumbungle Shire’s human resources’ team about the broad career opportunities within local government.

One of the highlights of the day was a mock

Council meeting, where students stepped into the roles of mayor, Council directors and councillors, gaining firsthand insight into how decisions are made and the role Council plays in supporting and shaping the community.

Mayor Kathryn Rindfleish said the event was a valuable way to introduce students to the scope of services provided by Council, the roles of both councillors and Shire staff, and the policies and procedures which govern local decision making.

“It was inspiring to see such engaged and thoughtful young people step into leadership roles, even if just for the day,’ Cr Rindfleish said.

“We hope this

experience encourages them to think creatively about their future and consider the many rewarding and varied careers that exist within local government – from childcare and community care to engineering, administration, IT, finance, trades and beyond.”

Students were encouraged to think outside the box when it comes to their own careers and to explore the diverse opportunities available within a Shire like the Warrumbungle Shire Council – where local government plays a vital role in delivering services that support every part of the community.

NAIDOC milestone inspires artwork A vibrant new mural celebrating 50 years of NAIDOC now brightens a fence at Baradine Preschool.

by LIZ CUTTS Two talented teenage Indigenous artists from Baradine have created the traditional artwork, commissioned by the B a r ad i n e P r e s c h o o l to honour culture, community and connection to Country.

T he eye - cat ch i ng painting, rich in cu ltu ra l symbol ism and storytelling, was unveiled as part of the pres cho ol’s N A I D O C celebrations to recognise the impor tance of heritage, customs and identity.

T he c ol laborat ion project prov ided a meaningful opportunity for young artists Leon and Reuben Ruttley to sha re thei r her it age and for the preschool ch i ld ren t o engage w it h F i r s t N at i o n s ’ perspectives through art.

“The boys were asked to come up with a design that visually links our community and local i nd igenou s c u lt u r e ,” said Baradine Preschool director, Tiffany Evans.

“They came up with a great mural, which they painted on the boundary fence near the play area. “ We wa nt ed t o recog nise 50 years of NAIDOC in a substa ntia l way a nd we had some funding available. The inclusion of painted handprints from our children and st a f f sy mbol ises ou r

shared respect and unity, and their involvement has sparked meaningful c onve r s at ion s a b out A bor ig i na l cu ltu re, identity and the importance of NAIDOC Week. “ T he mu ra l a ls o ref lects key features of our local landscape, connecting the artwork to the land we learn and play on every day. It’s a lasting tribute to our ongoing commitment to learning and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Baradine area.”

W hen they were designing the mural, Leon and Ruben obtained valued cultural and artistic advice from their father, Ronnie, and cousin, Marty Ruttley, as wel l as creat ive assistance from their sister, Lowana.

“The main thing was to show the connection to Country,” Leon said. “ We have i ncluded important local sites such as the Salt Caves, Sculptures in the Scrub a n d t h e Wo o l e y b a h Sawmill in the Pilliga Forest, all leading into the one big circle in the midd le, wh ich is the Baradine Preschool. “ We have a lso included images of our totem – goanna, as well as boomera ngs a nd kangaroo and goanna tracks. T he border i s m ade up o f h a nd stencils by the preschool children and staff and

we have used the three traditional shades of ochre throughout the mural.”

T he two ta lent ed teenagers prev iously gained recog nition for thei r t rad it ion a l

a r t th rough the O u r Country exhibition at the Pilliga Forest Discovery Centre last year. Their continued contribution to community projects highlights their growing role as young

cu ltu ra l leaders a nd thei r enthusiasm f o r pr om o t i n g t he i r Indigenous culture. “ T his mural really is an a l l-inclusive artwork,” said Michael R oss, CEO of the

Ba rad i ne A bor ig i na l Lands Council.

“It was a challenge for the boys to paint on corrugated iron after being used to working on canvas. “ T he cr it er ia f rom

preschool was that the ar twork was painted and designed by local artists and represented our Country and traditions – I think the boys have absolutely smashed it out.”

Cow on the loose? Meet Saint Stella St Lawrence’s Catholic Primary School has embraced creativity and nutrition education through their colourful entry in the national ‘Picasso Cows’ program.

by MOLLY SHANNON St L awrence’s Catholic Primary School has recently taken part in the ‘Picasso Cows’ competition, a program run by Australian Da i r y w it h t he goa l t o e duc at e s t udent s from K indergarten to Year 7 about the dairy industry.

L aunched more than a decade ago, the project has become popular with schools and students from all over Australia and is quite competitive, with not all schools gaining entry – making it tough from the get-go.

“We put an application in to say that we were interested in taking on the cow and learning about the dairy industry and we were successful,” St Lawrence’s principal, Natasha Milford said. “ T hen we had a n a m i n g c omp e t it ion t o d r u m up a bit of excitement about the project going on in the s cho ol , t hen we h ad Father Francis pick the final one.

“Students had a really good response to the naming competition, we had quite a few entries and there was a prize

for that – a backpack, a lunchbox and a drink bottle, to help pack a healthy lunch.”

T he w i n ner of the naming competition was Winnie Milsom, and the school’s cow was dubbed ‘Saint Stella’.

As part of the program, each school receives an (almost) lifesized fibreglass cow to decorate. ‘ P icasso Cows’ is run twice a year, and par ticipating schools fol low a c u r r ic u lu m where they learn about either ‘farm to plate’, or ‘health and nutrition’.

T hey a lso create a log book to document their learning progress before decorating their cow using their lessons as inspiration. “ We t a l k e d a b o u t health and nutrition, a n d a s k e d ,’ i f w e ’ r e healthy, what does that mean?’ And each class had to come up with a symbol to represent wh at b e i n g h e a l t hy me a nt t o t hem ,” M s Milford said “ T he s t ud e nt s a l l decided on a desig n.

One class used their fingerprints, but they made them into exercise ba l l s . A not her cl a s s

used f i nger pr i nt s t o make the sun, because we ne e d v it a m i n D, wh i le a no t he r c l a s s used f i nger pr i nt s t o r epr e s ent a he a lt hy heart. So, each class de c ided on th at a nd Anna Goard painted the background.

“While Anna did the background, the kids made their fingerprint designs for each class.”

Ms Milford, said the students had enjoyed taking part of ‘Picasso Cows’ – and even discovered more about their own local area in the process. “ They loved it,” she said.

“Year 5 learnt about Big Sky Cheese in Mendooran, which they weren’t aware of.

“Health and nutrition is part of the curriculum anyway, but it opened up their eyes to what’s around. “ E ver y d ay, wh i le ‘Saint Stella’ was out i n t he pl ayg r ou nd – because that’s where she was painted – the c h i ld r en wer e t her e wat ch i ng what was going on. They couldn’t wait to be a part of it.”

A t t he e nd o f t he project, schools were

given the opportunity to enter their work – and cow – into a competition, with prizes awarded for Best Learning Journal,

Best Cow Design, and an Overall Winner.

Winners for term two ‘ P ic a s s o C ows ’ wer e announced in the last

week of July. While St Lawrence’s didn’t take home a prize, Ms Milford said the feedback they received was positive.

S a i nt S t el l a won’t be moo-ving anywhere anytime soon – she’ll rema in proud ly on display at St Lawrence’s.

CHAFFEY’S CORNER Jamie Chaffey Federal Member for Parkes

The first two sitting weeks of the 48th Parliament are now over, and I was honoured to deliver my first speech to Parliament.

This marks an important landmark as an elected representative – it’s a promise to the people of Parkes that I will serve them to the best of my ability, and fight for their representation at the highest level.

As well as telling my own and my family’s journey, I spoke to Parliament about the challenges faced by the Parkes electorate, and my priorities for this term of government.

As mayor of Gunnedah Shire for eight years, as well as chairman of the NSW C ou nt r y M ayor s A ss o c i at ion a nd a member of the board of Local Government NSW, I have great understanding for the many issues regional NSW and Australia faces.

I talked about the need to progress essential services and key infrastructure, such as the I n la nd R a i l a nd wat er security and storage.

I also talked about the need to grow the population of this great part of the world through responsive and inspired policy that supports young families and encourages businesses.

The sudden and unguided escalation of wind, solar and battery installations is of great concern in the electorate of Parkes and beyond.

E ven i n t he pa s t t wo we ek s , we have seen a n a n nouncement by the Labor Government that the Capacity Investment Scheme is going to increase by 25 per cent.

That’s more millions on disastrous wind, solar and battery projects – the majority of them foreign-owned.

How can we justi fy this spending when just this week our farmers are facing significant flooding at one end of the Parkes electorate, and devastating drought at the other?

My thoughts are with those people who cannot access the funds that will allow them to keep going as primary producers for the rest of the country.

As I told Parliament in my first speech, I intend to continue to f ight for the rights and necessities of regional people – including ensuring that unrealistic and impossible energy targets are not pursued at any cost.

I am, however, as a member of the Coalition, willing to work with the Labor Government to implement changes that are needed or that will help and protect Australian people – including the recent changes to the childcare industry.

We welcome a bipartisan approach, and do not intend to play political games where the outcome is the right one for Australians.

Parliament will now not sit again until the end of this month, and that allows time to attend some important events in the Parkes electorate, including a visit to Bourke and attending the Louth Races this week and AgQuip in Gunnedah from 19-21 August.

I was also lucky enough to attend the Nyngan Agricultural Expo last week and the presentation of medals to members of the Castlereagh Zone Rural Fire Service.

C ong ratu lations a lso go t o a l l t he mem b e r s o f t he We e Wa a a nd Pallamallawa Rural Fire Service for the medals they will receive this week.

A big thank you to those volunteers who help keep their communities safe.

We know how important that is in times of trouble, and that has been h igh l ight ed by the re cent f lo od i ng.

The NSW SES has responded to 2092 incidents, including 25 flood rescues in the past week.

I look forward to representing the people of Parkes both in person and in Parliament across a wide range of issues of importance in my role as the Federal Member for Parkes.

11 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 7 August 2025

G’day folks.

The last two weeks have been spent m o s t l y t r av e l l i n g , either f lying around for committee hea r i ngs or on the road out in the electorate.

L a st we ek I wa s accompanying t he M i n i st er, Jo d i Ha r r ison, a round Barwon but this week it’s back to Macquarie Street.

The August sitting week will be followed by another trip out to Barwon, but most of the month will see ministers grilled at Budget Estimates.

It looks like it should be an interesting month.

New fire trucks Over the last few years with some notable fires across the west, it was good to hear that twentysix new f ire trucks are in Barwon or en route to stations in the electorate.

These are all new trucks and will help bolster f iref ighting capabilities in Barwon.

The LGAs of Cobar, B ogan, Coonamble, G i l g a n d r a , Na r rabr i , Wa lgett , Warrumbungle and t he C e nt r a l S h i r e

have received or will soon receive a new vehicle.

T he f i r e f i g ht i n g tankers, along with new operational technology and equipment, come as a boost t o the R F S a h e ad o f t h e up c om i ng bush f i r e season.

This is a fantastic outcome for so m a ny of t he sm a l l brigades across Barwon, thanks to the M inister for Emergency Services Ji h ad D ib a nd t he NSW Government.

The fire season is quickly approaching.

T he Bush F ire D a n g e r Pe r io d fo r pa r ts of nor ther n NSW began on 1 Aug ust, w ith the Danger Period for the entire state begins on 1 October.

Wee Waa Local Health Committee One of the key recommendations of the i ndependent rev iew into Hunter New England Local He a lt h D i s t r i c t ’s handling of the We e Wa a Ho spit a l reduction of services wa s t he for m at ion of a Wee Waa Local Health Committee.

T he ide a o f t h i s o r g a n i s at i o n i s t o

ensure that there is pr o p e r c om mu n it y consultation on all aspects of i mplementi ng the recommendations of the report.

So HNE LHD is asking for a range of community members to be part of this committee.

Ideally the committee shou ld include a broad s p e c t r u m o f community members i nc lud i n g pa r ent s , carers, retirees, people from a d i f ferent cu ltu ra l and linguistic backg rounds, Aboriginals and Torres Strait Isla nders, people living with a d i s a b i l i t y, a ny o n e with some experience of the lo ca l hea lth system.

Every voice m at t er s , a nd e ac h u n ique perspective will help add to the broader picture of the health needs of the community.

Community Building Partnerships There are a lot of c ommu n it y-based or ga n i s at ion s t h at go above and beyond ser v i ng thei r lo ca l a rea on shoestr i ng

budgets, with volunteers operating out o f pl ac e s w it h poor faci l ities, few c r e at u r e c o m f o r t s a nd w it h out d at e d equipment.

Which is why it is great to see some of those organisations benefiting from g o v e r n m e n t programs like Community Building Partnerships (CBP) wh ich of fer g ra nt s for in f rastr uctu re projects that deliver “positive social, environmental, and recreationa l outcomes, while also promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion.”

A range of projects across Barwon have sha red i n nea rly $500,000 funding. In Warrumbungle Shire these included: • Mendooran Gun Club – A ll Ter rain Vehicle $29,700 • Baradine Rusty C lu b – S h ade a nd shelter over recycling area $11,866 C ong ratu lat ions t o a l l t h e w o r t hy recipients. I look for wa rd t o seei ng these projects come to fruition.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public Welcome back We l c o m e b a c k t o school for term three! We are excited to dive into a busy and enriching term f i l led w ith activ ities that promote learning and community spirit.

Saint Lawrence’s Coonabarabran In the last week of term two, St Lawrence’s Year 5 and 6 students joined St John’s Baradine students for an unforgettable four-day trip to Canberra – the capital city of Australia.

The students were all so excited to learn more about our country’s government, visit famous landmarks and spend time with their friends.

During their time in Canberra they had an action-packed itinerary including visiting Parliament House, The War Memorial, The Royal Mint and the Electoral Education Centre, just to name a few.

At night they were kept busy visiting Questacon, the Australian Institute of Sport and Flip Out. This was a fantastic excursion with students making new friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Preschool

Coonabarabran Public C P S i s h av i ng a n action-packed week for Public Education Week.

Mrs Evans told us it was her favourite time of the year at school, as it always has fun activities.

Our parent morning tea and open classrooms on Friday, 8 August, after our formal assembly, is always a big hit, and this year is no exception.

Everyone is most welcome.

‘Ignite your Potential’ is the theme for 2025 and we will all be excited to show off what we are doing when we all come together and celebrate our strength, diversity and achievements. We are very proud of the endless and far reaching achievements of students

and staff.

The chess team attests to this. They competed in Gunnedah last week and played hard and fiercely, with the A-team coming back with a well-earned third place – thanks to the never-ending patience and skill of Mr Low. An incredible experience was had by many stage three students when Mr Yabsley took them to the high school for a flight simulation pr ac t ic e a nd t he or y session.

We learned that it is much harder to fly the plane than it looks. Mr Geoff Gasior was our instructor and Jade was our captain. We are all now set to become pilots.

Term three has star ted w ith a bang!

We were all very excited to be back at preschool after our school holidays break – and what fun we had learning about e ve r y o ne ’s hol id ay adventures, travels and f u n . We h ave le a r nt more about this at our ‘news’ sessions each day, with lots of interesting ‘show i ng news’ a nd ‘ t a l k i ng news ’ bei ng shared.

We have been reading maps and learning about different animals, birds and plants, particularly those around far north Queensland and Cape York, after Miss Marie’s recent holiday.

We welcome several new friends and their families to our preschool and hope you enjoy your time with us.

We have some fancy new dress-ups, including some colourful pirate pants and also pi rat e a nd mag ic i a n w a i s t c o at s t h at a r e reversible.

NAIDOC Week was celebrated at Coonabarabran Vacation Care with the children exploring 3D art and creating a Rainbow Serpent. This was made in cardboard that was coloured in using crayons and then completed with a resin pour and the use of a UV lamp to complete the curing process. It is now on display in the outdoor rotunda.

At Yuluwirri Kids, NAIDOC Week was acknowledged and celebrated during the first week of term three, so that all the children and educators could participate together.

We had the privilege of welcoming Tyson Birtles to the centre, who generously shared aspects of his Indigenous culture with us to enrich our understanding

and appreciation of Aboriginal traditions. He brought along ochre, and the children were invited to paint their faces, connecting with the land and experiencing the power and significance that ochre holds as a gift from Mother Nature.

This sensory experience captivated the children and fostered a deep sense of respect and wonder.

T y s o n a l s o demonstrated traditional dances, including the brolga, kangaroo, and echidna. With great enthusiasm, the children joined in, moving to the rhythm of the clapping sticks. These dances not only engaged the children physically, but also supported their developing understanding of Aboriginal culture through storytelling and movement.

League’s top five finally sorted!

Going into the final round of the 2025 Castlereagh League competition, the composition and finishing order of the top five was unknown – with results from three different venues having a bearing on who was in and who was out and in what order the teams in contention finished.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE

by BRYSON LUFF The Dunedoo Swans we re i n a t h re e - wa y battle for position n u m be r f i ve o n th e ladder – and having the bye they had to hope that results would go their way.

One of those results did go their way, with the Coba r Rooste r s d ro p p i n g o u t of t h e race when they were unable to sustain a great second-half comeback in their match against the Na r rom i ne Jets played at Cobar.

The Jets had es ta b l i s h ed a commanding 20-nil lead by half time, but their prospects of securing victory looked somewhat shak y after the home side came roaring back into the game, scoring 14 unanswered points to trail but just six.

It is history now that the Jets were able to go over for a converted try to extend their lead to 12 points and while the Roosters replied with

another try, the first-half deficit was too much for them to reel in and they lost the game 26 to 18, the loss ending their season.

Meanwhile, some 400 kilometres to the east, the Coonamble Bears were locked in a do or- die battle with the G u l g o n g B u l l Te r r i e r s at Gulgong, with a win to the Bears their only option if they wanted to stay alive in the 2025 premiership race Indeed, they did stay a l i ve, u pset t i n g th e home side by converting a 12 to 6 lead at half time into an impressive 32 to 16 win on the road, with their superior points d i f fe re nt i a l s e c u r i n g them f ifth spot on the l adde r ahead of Dunedoo.

The Bears will have to travel that same road again next Sunday for another do-or-die clash with the Bull Terriers in the elimination semi-final.

Chaffey’s promise

“I am here to serve the people of this vast electorate” newly-elected Parkes MP Jamie Chaffey says in maiden parliamentary speech Newly-elected Member for Parkes Jamie Chaffey has pledged to serve the electorate in his maiden speech to the House of Representatives.

Mr Chaffey addressed the chamber last Wednesday afternoon, with family and friends assembled in the gallery for his first official remarks in the house.

It was a speech of initial reflection, as Mr Chaffey recalled growing up in regional NSW and starting his working life with a management traineeship at a supermarket chain.

“To do this, I had to borrow money from one of my sisters to buy new clothes and get set up in the local caravan park. It was the best decision of my life,” Mr Chaffey said.

“This led me to meet my wife, Judy, a young nurse. We began our life’s journey together.”

After starting a family, Mr Chaffey joined his wife’s family business, manufacturing agricultural equipment for grain and cotton industries, as an apprentice boilermaker. Mr Chaffey and his wife would ultimately become second-generation owners of the Gunnedah-based business.

“I have now stepped down from the family business after 28 years, and I’m very proud to say that our children have taken over the reins. It is now

a very proud third-generation Australian-owned family business,” Mr Chaffey told the chamber.

“Working in small business and volunteering alongside the great people of some of my community service organisations, including the Gunnedah Rotary Club and the Carroll Rural Fire Service, I became even more focused on helping my community and successfully ran for Gunnedah Shire Council in 2016, where I served for eight years as mayor.

“My time as mayor taught me the greatest respect for all who serve as elected members in their communities.

“This role also gave me the opportunity to take on senior leadership roles, such as the chairman of the New South Wales Country Mayors Association and a place on the board of Local Government New South Wales.

“This has left me with a greater insight into how the three tiers of government can, and should, work together to achieve better results for all Australians.”

Mr Chaffey said his experience in business, as mayor and with local government organisations had also made him aware of the minefield of challenges that come ahead.

Illegal tobacco crackdown in Warrumbungle Shire Warrumbungle Shire Council has reaffirmed its commitment to public safety and lawful business operations following two major compliance outcomes in Coonabarabran.

On July 22, 2025, prosecution proceedings were finalised at the Coonabarabran Local Court against the operator of premises found to be supplying prohibited tobacco products.

The charges, which involved serious breaches of fire safety and planning legislation, were brought under the Environmental Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The offender was charged with obstruction of fire exits after placing objects that obstructed free passage in a designated fire exit area, contravening the Environmental Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021, and unauthorised development activity for conducting development not in accordance with granted development consent, contravening

the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

The court issued fines totalling $4,000, alongside a 12-month Community Corrections Order.

All seized tobacco products were forfeited to the Crown.

For the fire safety offence, a fine of $1000 was issued.

A further $3000 fine was issued for a development not in accordance with consent.

The sentence includes a 25 per cent discount, applied as part of the court’s sentencing discretion for an early guilty plea.

Just one day later, at midday on July 23, a second operation unfolded when Warrumbungle Shire Council, NSW Police Force and NSW Health carried out a targeted inspection at a Dalgarno Street premises.

This joint-agency operation followed earlier safety concerns and ongoing investigations relating to fire safety breaches and the supply of prohibited tobacco products.

What started as a routine inspection quickly escalated when officers discovered hidden underfloor compartments

containing more than 500 packets of prohibited cigarettes, “chop chop” loose tobacco, 26 vapes, and nicotine pouches.

These items were seized on the spot. Given the serious risks to public health, a Cease Use (Emergency) Order was immediately issued under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, and the retail premises were closed and evacuated.

In a statement, Warrumbungle Shire Council said further prosecution is now being considered, and compliance is actively being monitored with the assistance of NSW Police.

“These back-to-back actions show just how important coordinated enforcement efforts are when it comes to protecting local communities,” the statement from council read.

“From reducing fire hazards to preventing the illegal sale of unsafe tobacco products, these outcomes highlight the power of teamwork between agencies and the ongoing work behind the scenes to keep the Warrumbungle Shire a safe and fair place to live and do business.”

Jamie Chaffey promises to serve Parkes electorate in maiden parliamentary speech Continued from front page

“I am committed to working very closely with all 20 councils and the Unincorporated Far West Area of the Parkes electorate,” Mr Chaffey said.

“Regional New South Wales is the best place to live and to do business. But every state and federal win is a fight. Our people just get on with the job, facing bigger health, education and business challenges than most people living in metropolitan areas.”

Mr Chaffey reflected on his own challenges early on in his marriage when he and his wife purchased their first home only for the market to decline.

The local timber industry would be gutted, the abattoir would soon be on its knees, as well as the local mining industry, causing a reduction in Gunnedah’s population.

Mr Chaffey said government decisions had squarely and severely impacted the town’s economy.

“We have unforgettable lived experience of the personal hardship that follows disastrous decision-making by government.

This experience was a driving force in my motivation to join the local chamber of commerce and to then turn my focus to local government for solutions,” Mr Chaffey said.

“I was determined to do whatever I could to prevent other people from suffering the setbacks that we did at the hands of government who failed to realise the consequence of their decisions.

“The Parkes electorate needs young families. We need skilled and talented workers, and professionals, to make the confident choice to live in this incredible region. Economic policymaking needs to reflect the holistic approach that makes it easier for people to get a foothold and to establish their family.

“Location is a huge part of this. I want to make sure that the cities, the towns and the villages within the Parkes electorate are the places young Australians choose to put down their roots.”

Mr Chaffey said decision-makers must understand the implications

of their choices.

“We must do all we can to prevent shocks to our communities that have the power to destabilise families, and, in some cases, lead to heartache and destruction,” he said.

“Many of the communities in the Parkes electorate have been faced with the challenge of population decline over the past decade. For that very reason, my wife and I struggled financially in our early married life.

“Growing the population throughout the electorate will be my biggest challenge during the time that I serve.”

When not in parliament, Mr Chaffey said he will be clocking up the miles transversing over 400,000 square kilometres of the electorate.

“I know the tyranny of distance will be an ongoing challenge, and I’m committed to turning up to the largest and the smallest of the electorate’s communities to the best of my ability. That is what is needed to serve and represent this important part of our nation,” he said.

“The challenges and issues this electorate faces are as varied as the shires that make them up, and I’ll be there to listen and to act persistently and consistently. Businesses and industries across the Parkes electorate are shouldering more than their fair share of our country’s economic heavy lifting without their fair share of funding.

“Our communities face endless battles, sometimes just to maintain the basic levels of services. Our small businesses are at the heart of our nation’s economy. We must reward small-business owners for their commitment to the communities they serve and acknowledge the risk they take every single day.

“Decisions made far from the bush must include critical needs for investment in regional infrastructure.”

Mr Chaffey told the house the Parkes electorate is where Australia’s food, fibre and minerals are produced and processed and where value is added.

“Transporting our homegrown products for domestic consumption and international trade must be both reliable and affordable.

Jamie Chaffey, right, with wife Judy in Gunnedah following his success at the federal election held in May.

Bold decisions must be made.

We need to see help for regional Australians in areas such as tax reform, greater economic incentives for people who choose regional towns, better infrastructure and investment in our roads and local facilities, and equitable access to the basics such as quality education, child care, aged care and health care.

Infrastructure projects such as the nation building Inland Rail project are vital to ensure that we keep goods moving productively from capital ports, from Brisbane to Melbourne and west to Perth, with the ability to stimulate economic opportunities for regional communities in between,” he said.

“The Nationals first developed this plan, and it was the Nationals who aggressively commenced construction. In recent years, the handbrake has been applied. Construction on the northern corridor is now at snail’s pace, and I do not intend to drop the ball on this project. I will be applying as much pressure as possible to see trains moving goods to market through

Parkes and Narromine, Gilgandra, Baradine, Narrabri, Moree and North Star and on to Queensland as quickly as possible.

“The views on water policy held

by Australia’s two main political parties could not be further apart.

There has been a lack of investment in water security and water storage in the Parkes electorate.

In fact, over recent years there has been a concerted effort to take water away from our communities through water policy changes that now allow buybacks in the Murray-Darling Basin.

“How can we seriously back our farmers and regional communities unless we protect their access to water?”

SHOWING @ THIS WEEK

During his speech, Mr Chaffey also acknowledged the long service of former member Mark Coulton.

“As I stand in parliament today, I’m conscious of the legacy of the giants of the National Party and the members who have represented the area that makes up the current Parkes electorate, and I pay tribute to the Hon. Mark Coulton, who held his role for more than 17 years with such dedication and motivation,” he said.

“I deeply appreciate the support of both Mark and Robyn, and I’m so glad that they’re here today in the gallery to share this moment.

“I come to this role with a deep sense of respect for the work of parliament in guarding and improving the lives and livelihoods of every Australian.

“I believe in the difference that can be made by implementing good policy. I want to see that reflected in the lives of people in our electorate and right across Australia.”

Mr Chaffey ended his speech thanking his family, including Judy, his wife of 32 years, children Jack, Molly, Lucy, Tom, their partners, and his grandchildren.

“You are at the heart of everything I do. Thank you,” Mr Chaffey said.

Carroll team takes on Cobber Challenge

By JEN MITCHELL

journalist@gunnedahtimes.com.au

A Carroll Kelpie is vying for national bragging rights as Australia’s hardest working dog.

The two-year-old pup, Stan, and farmer Tahlia Carroll were among 12 teams selected across the country to partake in the prestigious Cobber Challenge.

The working dog competition has thousands of entrants each year from Australia and New Zealand and Tahlia described becoming a finalist as the “cream on top of the pie” after a stellar performance in Gunnedah’s trials.

Despite Tahlia thinking the Australian Kelpie was too fast, he achieved a 91 score out of 100.

“If he wasn’t named Stan, he’d be named Sonic because he’s just fast,” Tahlia said.

“Everything he does, you’ve got to go, ‘Ok, you need to take 10 steps back and rethink that three times over because you’ve done it too fast’.

“I was not expecting him to do that [well].”

He had previously done a few of yard trials, but that was his first time in the cattle dog trials.

Tahlia is more familiar with sheep yard trialing and has just started her cattle dog trialling journey.

“Gunnedah was my year anniversary [trialling], I am only fresh into it and loving every minute of it.

“Got into it through people I work with and just expanding my working dog side of things.”

While nerves for the 24-year-old are high while competing, she has been told even seasoned experts are anxious to perform.

This is Tahlia and Stan’s first time entering the Cobber competition and was good enough to win a spot.

Stan is currently wearing a tracking collar to record his speed, duration and distance for the competition.

After 12 weeks, the best 21 days of data will be collected in which the winner is decided.

They are in the fourth week and while

Tahlia Carroll and Stan the Australian Kelpie are of just 12 selected as finalists for the nationwide working dog Cobber Challenge.

‘Stan the man’ is full of energy, Tahlia is just as ecstatic to be a part of working dog competitions.

“I really love going out there,” she said.

“The atmosphere is amazing.

“It’s just you, the sheep and dog.

“To be able to work your dog and see what you can come out with as an end result is amazing.

“Your hard work really does pay off.”

MAN’S BEST FRIEND BEFRIENDS CHEETAH CUB

After months of intensive care at the Zoo’s Wildlife Hospital, Rozi has settled into her new home behind the scenes at the Cheetah breeding facility, alongside a furry friend of her own – a labrador-cross-kelpiecross-collie named Ziggy.

with Ziggy that she would otherwise have done with real siblings. So Ziggy is providing that sort of pseudo-sibling relationship for her.”

“It does truly feel full circle now that Siri has had a cub, beautiful Rozi, and now Rozi’s been introduced to a puppy as well.”

It’s not the first time Zookeepers in Dubbo have looked to ‘man’s best friend’ to help raise a Cheetah cub.

Rozi’s mum Siri was also a singleton cub and was handraised alongside a retrievercross-mastiff puppy named Iris back in 2015.

At around 12-18 months old, Rozi will also be ready to disperse from her family and live on her own. She will eventually also have the opportunity to have cubs of her own.

Female Cheetah cubs spend the first 12-18 months of life with their mother and siblings before dispersing, and this was replicated with Siri and Iris.

“We started to introduce Rozi and Ziggy when they were both a little over two months old and at first Ziggy was quite boisterous and excited to have a new little play mate,” said Cheetah (and puppy) Keeper Jordan Michelmore.

The early relationship proved crucial not only for Siri’s welfare, but in preparing her to fulfil her potential as part of the regional breeding program for this vulnerable species.

“Rozi doesn’t have any Cheetah siblings and Cheetah cubs normally play together, chase, pounce, groom and stalk each other. All of these behaviours are key milestones for a growing Cheetah cub to learn.

“We did find with Siri, when we started putting her in with males, she had that confidence, she had that resilience and she had that socialisation that really improved her breeding behaviours,” Jordan said.

“The pair have now become best friends and it’s been beautiful to watch their relationship develop. Through it, Rozi is able to develop those same behaviors

Ziggy won’t live at the Zoo forever and Keepers are mindful of their duty to prepare him for life after his role as a Cheetah Companion Dog, when he will be adopted by a member of the Zoo family.

“Rozi has really, really valuable and important genetics and will hopefully play a part in our breeding program in the future,” Jordan said.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo is part of the international Cheetah breeding program, and the first Australasian zoo to breed the species.

Taronga is not for profit. Every dollar you spend has the Power to Protect. Whether you visit, stay overnight, donate, become a Zoo Friend or Zoo Parent, book an unforgettable behindthe-scenes experience or buy a gift for a loved one, every dollar helps save wildlife.

“With Ziggy, we are trying to raise him to be a wellrounded, socialised, confident, independent dog but he’s also got a really important job to do - he’s helping Rozi develop.

“He truly does seem like the best dog for the job.”

4 FAMILY PASSES TO BE WON!!

Keepers have sought help from an unlikely source in their continued efforts to hand-raise a Cheetah cub born at Taronga Western Plains Zoo earlier this year.

Cheetah cub ‘Rozi’, a name that means rose and a symbol of joy in Swahili, was born on 22 February 2025 via emergency caesarian section after her mum Siri went into premature labour. Siri made a complete recovery, but did not produce any milk. Due to Rozi’s complex health needs it was not possible to reunite the pair.

Cheetahs are classified as vulnerable in the wild with fewer than 7,000 mature individuals remaining.

Wild populations continue to decline due to humanwildlife conflict, loss of habitat and habitat fragmentation, poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking.

Cheetah are also notoriously difficult to breed, so every birth is extremely valuable to the global population.
