POLICE NEWS Man charged over alleged Baradine car theft and police pursuit A man faced court last week over an alleged vehicle theft and pursuit in the Baradine area in September 2025.

Officers attached to Rural Crime Prevention Team (RCPT) and Orana Mid-Western Police District commenced an investigation in September into two theft incidents at rural properties in Baradine area under Strike Force Royton.

About 5.30pm on Tuesday, 16 September, police were called to a rural property on Baradine Road, Baradine, following reports of a white utility and a blue quad bike had been stolen. Police were told unknown people had forced entry into the property about 3.30am on the same day, before the car and the motorcycle were stolen.

Between 1pm on Friday, 19 September, and 12 noon on Saturday, 20 September, a firearm was allegedly stolen from a rural property on

a patient in their 50s for an isolated ankle injury.

Following fur ther assessment, the team decided that the

Cumbil Road, Baradine.

Inquiries led police to allege the two incidents were linked.

Police established crime scenes and commenced an investigation into the incident.

Around 3pm on Friday, 19 September, officers attached to Orana MidWestern Police District were called to Baradine Road, Coonamble, following multiple calls of a white utility being driven in a dangerous manner.

A short time later, police located the utility at the intersection of Baradine Road near Killara Lane, Coonamble.

Checks revealed the vehicle was the stole utility from the property in Baradine.

When it failed to stop as directed, a pursuit was initiated. The pursuit continued through Dingo

Hole Road, near Pilliga National Park, where it was terminated due to a safety concern.

Following further inquiries, around 11.30am on Thursday, 25 September, police arrested a 28-year-old man on Charles Street, Coonamble.

He was taken to Coonamble Police Station where he was charged with enter building/land with intent to commit indictable offence, steal motor vehicle (two counts), receive propertytheft – serious indictable offence more than $5000, police pursuit – not stop – drive recklessly, and unlicensed for Class, Class C, R, LR or MR. The man was refused bail and was ordered to appear at Bail Division Court 4 on Friday, 26 September.

Inquiries continue.

Plan ahead • Resea rch the route: length, techn ica l difficulty, elevation gain, rock scrambling/ steep or exposed sections.

• Check current conditions: weather forecast, track conditions, any park aler ts (fires, closures).

• Know whether the walk or climb needs special skills (navigation, climbing gear).

Inform someone of your plans • Tell a friend or family member where you're going, expected return time, who is in your party.

• Use a trip intention form if available.

Go in a group if possible • Especially for more remote or challenging tracks, having 2+ people (and preferably 3) helps in case of injury or navigational error.

• Make sure the group goes at the pace of the slowest.

Navigation and staying on-track • Carry a topographic map and compass, know how to use them.

• GPS device or phone with map apps is helpful, but don’t rely on them alone (signal can drop).

• Stick to marked trails/tracks. Off-track travel in rocky/wild terrain increases risk of injury or getting lost.

Clothing, footwear and protection • Wear sturdy hiking boots with good grip (rock, loose terrain).

• Dress in layers: for warmth, wind, wet weather.

Weather can change quickly especially in higher or exposed areas.

• Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen.

• Insect repellent; long sleeves/pants if needed for ticks, mozzies, etc.

Water, food and supplies • Carry sufficient water: more than what you think you’ll need. In many remote NSW parks, water sources can be scarce or unreliable.

• Bring extra food (snacks, emergency rations).

• Carry a first aid kit and know basic first aid.

Emergency gear • Torch/headlamp (with spare batteries).

• Matches or lighter, emergency blanket.

• Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) or satellite communicator – especially in areas with no phone signal. You can hire a PLB at some NSW National Park locations.

• Mobile phone with emergency apps (for example, Emergency Plus) downloaded and fully charged.

Wildlife, trees and natural hazards • Be aware of snakes, spiders, ticks. Know how to treat bites or at least avoid them (stick to tracks, watch where you step or place hands).

• Be careful around large trees, especially those damaged by fire; branches or trees may fall without warning.

• Beware of overhangs, cliffs, exposed ledges especially in wet or windy conditions.

Weather and temperature extremes • Check forecast before going; expect rapid changes, especially in mountainous or elevated areas.

• Don’t star t long walks late in the day; afternoon storms or sudden weather changes can make the return dangerous.

• Protect against heat in summer (avoid midday sun, carry plenty of water, wear sun protection) and cold in winter or nights (bring warm layers).

Time and daylight management • Start early enough so that you complete before dark (unless you are prepared for night hiking).

• Have a backup plan if you are delayed.

Leave no trace • Take your rubbish with you.

• Use designated camp areas.

• Avoid damaging vegetation or disturbing wildlife.

• If toileting, do so well away from water sources and follow park rules.

• ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY • The Coonabarabran Times acknowledges and pays respect to the Gamilaraay people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work, and pay our respects to Elders both past and present.

We extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the country and support the continuation of their cultural, spiritual and educational practices.

Illegal tobacco seizure in Dunedoo Warrumbungle Shire Council took part in a major enforcement operation in Dunedoo on Tuesday, 7 October, following a long-running investigation into reports of unlawful tobacco sales.

Acting on intelligence of large-scale prohibited tobacco sales, officers f r om Wa r r u mbu n g le S h i r e C ou nc i l , w it h support from the NSW Police Force and NSW Health, carried out a coordinated inspection at a business in Bolaro Street, Dunedoo.

During the operation, investigators located a large locked cabinet hidden at the rear of an adjoining property.

When the individual on site refused to open the cabinet, investigators forced entry and uncovered a significant quantity of illegal tobacco pr oducts, i nclud i ng mu l t i pl e c a r t o n s o f cigarettes and bags of “chop chop” tobacco.

All seized items are now in the custody of authorities for further investigation.

An Emergency Cease Use Order was issued to the employee on site, preventing any further activity at the premises.

Serious charges are e x p e c t e d t o b e l a id against both the employee

and the business owners in relation to the alleged offences.

In a statement, Warrumbungle Shire Council outlined their commitment to working

with NSW Police Force a nd N S W He a lt h t o stamp out the sale of illegal tobacco in the region. “ The unlawful sale a nd d istr ibution of

prohibited tobacco pose s i g n i f i c a nt r i s k s t o community health and undermine legitimate local businesses,” the statement read.

A nyone with

information regarding the illegal sale of tobacco products is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. A ll information is treated confidentially.

A joint operation resulted in the discovery of illegal tobacco goods at a property in Dunedoo on Tuesday, 7 October.

Under perfect skies, crowds flock to Starfest Coonabarabran has once again lived up to its title as the ‘Astronomy Capital of Australia’, with more than 1100 people streaming through the gates of Siding Spring Observatory on Saturday, 4 October.

The annual open day was a highlight of the 2025 Starfest program, which packed the October long weekend with astronomythemed events.

Blessed with cl ea r s k i es a nd m i l d w e a t h e r, t h i s ye a r ’s festival brought together professional a s t r o n o m e r s , volunteers and curious stargazers from across the countr y for three days of discovery and celebration. “ It takes ove r 5 0 volunteers to r un Starfest each year, and we’re s o g ra tef u l to everyone who pitched in to make it happen,” s a i d Zo e H o l co m b e, administration and WHS officer at the Australian National Universit y’s Research School of A stronomy and Astrophysics.

“The atmosphere was fantastic, the weather couldn’t have been better, and the

town was buz zing all weekend.”

Volunteers travelled from Macquarie U n i ve r s i t y, A N U Mount Stromlo O b s e r va to r y, M o u nt B u r n et t O b s e r vato r y in Victoria, Glen Innes, Coonabarabran and b eyo n d to h e l p r u n events across the program.

Two of the festival’s flagship events – Science in the Pub and the Bok Lecture – were complete sellouts, drawing crowds of 18 0 a nd 2 0 0 peo p l e respectively.

O n t h e m o u n ta i n , v i s ito r s ex p l o red th e telescopes and research facilities at Siding Spring O b s e r v a t o r y, m e t astronomers and discovered the latest in space science.

In town, local businesses reported a boom in visitors, with Ms Holcombe estimating that 90 per cent of

attendees were tourists, who filled motels, cafes and shops throughout the weekend.

Support from community groups and local businesses added to the festival spirit, with the RFS, Rotary, Pilliga P o t t e r y, Ta m w o r t h Astronomy Club, and Li l’ Cof fee Ca r t a l l lending their presence to the celebrations.

“Starfest really does p ut Co o n a b a ra b ra n o n t h e m a p ,” M s Holcombe said.

“It’s a chance to showcase the w o r l d - c l a s s s c i e n ce happeni ng at Sidi ng S p r i n g , b u t i t ’s a l s o about bringing people to g et h e r to s h a re i n the wonder of the universe.”

Ms Holcombe worked alongside Sharna Persson in organising this year’s festival and said planning was already under way for 2026.

Milroy Observatory wins Tripadvisor award When you look up at the starry night sky, do you really know what you are looking at?

by CLAUDIA HEANEY Milroy Observatory, Coonabarabran, has been awarded a 2025 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, sitting amongst the top 10 per cent of places to visit worldwide.

Loca l professional astronomer and manager of Milroy Observatory, Donna Burton – fondly known as ‘Donna the Astronomer’, has delivered stargazing tours at the observatory over the last six years.

The tours offer an immersive journey through the solar system, combining telescope viewing with both Indigenous and traditional sky stories.

Donna said the tours are for those aged 0 to 99, hosting families, individuals, community and school groups.

The achievement is a testament to the

dedication of Donna and her team.

“The award gives me credibility to tell my story and inspire kids,” Donna said.

Milroy Observatory is listed as the top place to visit out of 15 in Coonabarabran on TripAdvisor.

“It gives us a lot more visibility. When people go on to TripAdvisor, they actually see the award on the advertisement,” Donna said.

On the edge of the Dark Sky Park, Milroy Observatory offers a unique opportunity to be guided through the night sky by Donna and her skilled team. The shows are a great learning opportunity for all ages, giving insight into what lies above.

Donna said that feedback is an integral part of the show and likely the reason for their success.

5 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 9 October 2025

“We do a lot because of our feedback. We listen to feedback and we act upon it,” she said.

“The TripAdvisor award is by the guests – I think that is why we were successful.”

The proof is in the general consensus made by the 332 guests who left reviews on the TripAdvisor page.

G u e s t s l e f t comments saying that the experience was a “fantastic informative evening under a brilliant clear sky. Seeing the wonder of our solar system and other galaxies through a telescope made an amazing night.”

Another reviewer said, “My family and I had a fantastic time on this tour! Donna was both informative and entertaining, making the experience engaging and enjoyable. As she put it, this is an astronomy experience, not just a

lesson – which made it even more memorable.”

Donna said that the size of each show is what maintains the connection to the customers.

“We keep the number of people at each show relatively small to maintain intimacy.”

She commends her team on their professionalism and role in achieving the award.

“They are just amazing, I couldn’t have gotten through the past three years without them,” she said.

Locals are encouraged to attend the shows, receiving a discount when booking with Donna directly “Bring your family and friends out and come see what we do,” Donna said.

“What you see with us, you can go home, look out at the sky and know what you are looking at.”

Donna the Astronomer and Milroy Observatory have been awarded a 2025 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award.

Paving the way for safer school routes Construction is underway on several key footpaths in Coonabarabran as part of Warrumbungle Shire Council’s Footpath and Shared Path Project, which aims to improve pedestrian access and connect existing path networks, particularly around local schools.

by MOLLY SHANNON Footpaths near Coonabarabran Public School, St Lawrence’s Pr i m a r y School a nd Yuluwirri Kids Preschool were identified for upgrades through Council’s Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan (PAMP) “The footpath and shared-path project consists of three sections, each providing direct access to local schools and connecting with existing networks,” Cr Nicole Benson, Council’s director of technical services and local emergency management officer, told Coonabarabran Times.

“The footpath on Cassilis Street and Namoi Street provides direct access to St Lawrence’s Primary School, Coonabarabran, while the shared path on George Street and Cowper Street provides direct access to Coonabarabran Public Primary School.

“And the shared path on Bandulla Street provides direct access to Yuluwirri

Preschool and connects to the existing cycle lane from George Street.”

Funding for the project has been provided in full

by Transport for NSW under the ‘Get NSW Active: Active Travel to School’ program, with $788,718.45 being allocated to Warrumbungle Shire Council.

“The program focuses on enhancing safe pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and, in particular, footpath access to schools in Coonabarabran. There was no co-contribution required from Council,” Ms Benson said.

Council opened tenders for contractors on 16 April with Daracon Contractors Pty Ltd based in Beresfield, awarded the contract.

“Tenders for construction of the concrete paths were invited by the op en market method and local building contractors in the Warrumbungle Local Government Area were specifically invited to submit a tender,” Ms Benson said.

“Tenders closed 13

May 2025 and seven submissions were received.”

The footpath for Coonabarabran Public School was originally planned for George Street, but Council later relocated it to Cowper Street. Both Transport for NSW and Warrumbungle Shire Council agreed the new location would be more beneficial as it connected to existing paths on Edward Street.

While no future projects have yet been announced, Ms Benson said strategic plans like PAMP make it easier to identify infrastructure needs.

“Council is always on the lookout for funding that will assist us to ensure that our active and healthy communities are supported by high-quality sport and recreational infrastructure.”

Construction is expected to be completed by mid-October, with public access granted once the paths are deemed safe.

The Cowper Street footpath, part of Warrumbungle Shire Council’s Footpath and Shared Path Project, will link to the George Street pathway near Coonabarabran Public School.

Spring Garden Trail On Sunday, 28th September, the Coonabarabran VIEW Club held its annual Spring Garden Trail.

The main organiser, Lindy Swanson – as usual, left no stone unturned to make our ‘Quintessential Town Cottage Gardens’ event an outstanding success.

A great big thank you to the owners of the participating gardens for all the work they put in to make our day so successful and warmly received.

The gardeners Trish Watson, Gail McEvoy, Kathy Amiet, Darrell Chapman, Fiona Cormie, Di Wood, Sue Erickson and Mary Cragg’s gardens each held their own special features, the product of love and care over the years.

There were 141 visitors to the gardens, travelling from Tamworth, Dubbo and our surrounding areas, who met at our CWA Hall to register and partake of a scrumptious morning tea.

Each year, our Garden Trail provides

substantial funds towards the ‘Learning for Life’ program, a segment of the Smith Family.

The Coonabarabran VIEW club sponsors

four children, as well as contributing to the winter, Christmas and educational appeals.

These children deserve the chance to make the

most of their education – and how rewarding it is to contribute to their schooling and help them to build a positive future for themselves.

Fred and Lindy Swanson were on hand to record registrations for the VIEW Club’s 2025

Spring Garden Trail.

M HS sa id it was over whel me d by t he outpouring of emotion a nd suppor t show n on the day and in the time since, expressing hea r tfelt g ratitude t o ever yone who has contr ibuted to its ongoing success.

Completed in February this year, the CWA of NSW Guesthouse has already accommodated more than 2000 guests. The facility has frequently been fully booked, underscoring the g row i ng dema nd for affordable accommodation for regional patients and their families. “ M HS understands the needs of our guests and community, and we proactively engage with the NSW Government – particularly within the health portfolio and the I P TA A S subsidy scheme,” a spokesperson said.

“The financial support provided by the IPTAAS subsidy is a valuable l i fel i ne for p at ient s

M HS now operates 51 u n i t s o f p a t i e n t a c c o m m o d at i o n a n d expects to host around 8500 people each year.

This achievement has b e e n m ad e p o s s i bl e through strong c om mu n it y s upp or t , generous donations and sponsorships.

Macquarie Home Stay managing director, Rod Crowfoot said the milestone was a moment to reflect on how far the organisation had come. “ I t ’s a w o n d e r f u l ac h ievement for t he M HS board as we recognise and reflect on what’s been delivered – and also our incredibly de d ic at e d t e a m who del iver ou r fabu lous service to guests and patients every day,” he said.

“Our buildings are an enabler; they let us do so much. We are known for far more than just the bricks and mortar.

They will include the following: Holden FC Sedan completely and beautifully restored blue FC Holden car, shown in the website photos, will be auctioned.

This vehicle came to Coonabarabran, brand new, to work as a taxi. Alma Pulham, grandmother of John Coudja Knight (restorer of the vehicle), was the first female taxi driver in Australia.

During WWII, with both sons overseas fighting, Alma drove the family's taxi. Many a Bride has been driven to the altar in this car. Noah, one of Alma’s sons, did not make it back to Australia.

At the end of its working life it was parked in a vacant lot in King Street, Coonabarabran.

There it stayed until Coudja took on the task of restoring the vehicle. In one of those awful ‘twists of fate’, Coudja passed away just as he completed restoring the vehicle. The provenance of this vehicle is completely known and its importance to the history Coonabarabran cannot be overstated.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public CWA International Day T h e C W A International Day was a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their research and celebrate the Country Women’s Association (CWA) country of study on The Republic of Korea (South Korea). A guest speaker also joined the event, sharing personal experiences and valuable cultural insights about South Korea.

The winners of the CWA Country of Study Powerpoint Competition were announced as follows: 1st – Maddison Jenkin, 2nd – Eloise Jenkin and 3rd – Bonnie Alison.

Our Kindergarten to Year 2 students submitted their colouring-in entries, with the results announced as follows:

1st – Ben Larkin, 2nd – Georgia Martin, 3rd – Eloise Semmler and Highly Commended – Maggie Lambell.

This educational and memorable celebration highlighted the outstanding efforts of all students. Students were very thankful to receive a special treat at the conclusion of the day. Special thanks to Tooraweenah CWA organiser Beverley Pike, Dalene Pretorius, and CWA International Group Leader, Helen Oates for their coordination of the event.

Transition to Kindergarten The excitement and learning has continued in our transition to school program, as our young learners participated in a variety of fun and educational activities.

The children enjoyed

Tooraweenah Preschool craft sessions inspired by the delightful story The Patchwork Bike, allowing their creativity to shine through colourful artwork.

Hands-on play was a highlight, with the use of Mobilo and pattern blocks helping to develop fine motor skills and encourage imaginative building. They also had a wonderful time joining in singing alphabet and counting songs. A special favourite was the visit to our school hens, where the children eagerly checked for eggs.

Our transition to school program continues to create a nurturing and stimulating environment, preparing children for a confident start to their school journey. We look forward to spending more time together, filled with learning, play, and discovery.

We have had a great term at preschool, with children keeping ver y busy lea r n i ng and thriving together, enjoying several community and preschool event s t oget her a nd having a wild time at preschool!

We ’ v e m ad e ne w f r iend s a nd enj oye d play ing and learning together.

We had a wonderful ti me the other week when our friends from Gulargambone Preschool visited us and joined us for ‘Bush Preschool’.

Together we explored the paddock, checking out different grasses and things we found on the ground, we climbed the ‘mountains’ and could see for miles (apparently) – and we ventured down to the creek where we had fun looking for yabbies (and catching leeches in our nets), scaling the creek wall and building ‘stone cities’. We also

enjoyed listening to the frogs singing to us.

We have enjoyed our Bush Preschool program this year in terms two a nd th ree, w ith th is program now finished for 2025.

We have practiced our emergency drills with school friends, both our evacuation d r i l l a nd our lock down drill, and again practiced our ‘Get down low and go, go, go!’ if the room is full of smoke; ‘Stop, Drop and Roll’ if our clothes are on fire; and ‘Ready, Set, Go, 000’ if we need help from one of the emergency services.

To cap this off, we had a special visit from the Tooraweenah Rural Fire Brigade, showing us all over the fire truck, finding the ‘000’ phone number on it, and even sitting inside it like a real fire fighter! The highlight had to be using the fire hoses ourselves, with some help from Mr Hill

a nd M r F rew i n, a nd trying on the firefighter hel met s a nd s h i r t s .

Thank you to our local br igade members for making this happen. It was such an interesting and fun visit.

We a r e a l l v e r y excited about the upcoming holidays: we a r e get t i ng ou r new shade sails just before we come back for term four, with motifs of the goanna, emu and eagle on them to represent the totems of the Wiradjuri, the Wailwan and the Kamilaroi peoples who once came t ogether at T o o r awe e n a h f o r significant and special occasions. There will also be a gum leaf in the design. We can’t wait to see these new shade sails in our playground.

We have a lso been very busy preparing for the Tooraweenah Show.

We have created lots of artworks for both our show display and also

as entries in the various sections in the pavilion.

We hope you can come along and check out our special masterpieces. We have created artworks using lots of different techniques and ideas, showcasing our creativity using unique and fun patterns, textures and colours on different art media. We have enjoyed lots of experimenting and discovering as we created.

We encourage everyone to wear pink on Wednesday, 15 October ,as part of the ‘Start Strong, Pay Fair’ Day of Action that all preschools in NSW are involved in, showing the plight of preschools with lack of funding and recognition of our professionalism and the importance of early childhood education and care, particularly community-based preschool services. So wear pink on this day!

Voices soar for Moorambilla The creative energy and inspiration nurtured at Moorambilla Voices workshop residency camps in Baradine has captivated and delighted the audience at a preview concert.

by LIZ CUTTS Members of the community were swept into a world of sound and story at a sp e c i a l p er for m a nc e of Moorambilla Voices ‘ R ive r s o n g : S k y s o n g , held at the Baradine Memorial Hall on Friday, 26 September.

M ic hel le L e on a r d , fou nder a nd a r t i st ic director of Moorambilla Voices, said this year’s performance drew i nspi ration f r om the awe-inspiring energ y of the night sky and the stor ies of connection and contemplation from Gomeroi Country. “ O u r 2 0 2 5 c onc er t weaves poetic music and powerful choreography to express our shared sen se of joy, wonder a nd t he f r a g i l it y o f humanity beneath the Emu in the Sky,” she said. “ In the spi r it of Yindyamarra, we come together with inclusion and respect to share this extraordinary c o l l e c t i o n o f w o rk s , per formed by more than 300 children and young people from over 70 towns across NSW. They share the stage w ith a professiona l chamber ensemble and we are delighted to welcome associate

artists from our 2025 c o l l a b o r at i n g y o u t h ensemble, Australian Youth Orchestra, for a magical performance.

“What a magnificent milestone we are celebrating this ye a r ; 2 0 ye a r s a s a thriving regional arts organisation is really something to sing about!”

‘Riversong:Skysong’ is the four th concer t i n Mo ora mbi l l a’s Riversong series, i nspi red by the la nd and its communities. “ The work is a collective culmination of much thought and artistry from so many,” Ms Leonard said.

“It is poised, pur poseful and at times i ntrospe ctive as we contemplate the vastness of the universe held in glimpses in the night sky. It is above all, I hope, an opportunity to reflect on the wonder t h at i s l i fe a nd t he i m men s e p ower l ive per formance has to connect us irrefutably to the knowledge and w isdom of the oldest living culture on this small blue green globe spinning boldly i nt o i n f i n ite space surrounded by stars.

Baradine Swimming Pool works raise questions over summer readiness The Baradine community had initally welcomed news of upgrades to the town’s swimming pool, but now they are beginning to wonder if it will be ready in time for the summer season.

by LIZ CUTTS The ongoing works and state of the grounds seem to have put the mid-October opening of Baradine Poo l i n d o ubt a nd the community is b e g i n n i n g to vo i ce concern as the pool upgrade timeline tightens.

Baradine and District Progress Association have said the Baradine Sw i m m i n g Po o l i s a vital community asset, especially during the hot summer months.

“We welcome these improvements because they w i l l ensure the pool r e m a i n s a r e l i a b l e, safe, and enjoyable faci l it y fo r residents and visitors alike,” said association president, Ted Hayman. “ H oweve r, t h e a s s o c i a t i o n i s ve r y concer ned that the upg rade wor k s may not be f inished in time for the proposed opening date. “ F o r a s m a l l tow n like ours, the pool is far more than just a place to swim – it’s an essential community facility where families gather, children learn w a t e r s a f e t y, a n d

re s i d e nt s f i n d re l i ef from the summer heat.

“While we welcome the i mp rovements being made, the delays and lack of cer tainty around an opening date are frustrating.

“Our communit y cannot afford to lose a season without this vital asset for health, wellbeing and social connection.”

Warrumbungle Shire Co u n c i l co m p l ete d general maintenance works some time ago, including a fresh coat of p a i nt i n s i d e a n d outside the amenities and the kiosk area.

CCTV cameras have been installed, ensur ing the facilit y remains safe and enjoyable for the community while p a v i n g t h e wa y fo r further upgrades.

Council stated that the instal lation of a leakproof membrane and new piping i s d e s i g n e d to s to p wate r l o s s, i m p rove water flow and reduce ongoing maintenance c o s t s . H o w e v e r, i t seems it is these key structural works that are causing the delay.

Council has now co n f i r m e d t h a t t h e Baradine Pool’s

opening has been delayed to 25 October due to installation of the new pool liners.

“Cont racto r s a re

the pool will open sooner, and we’ll let the community know.”

Council added that d e s p i te a d ve r t i s i n g

since early June, it was s t i l l ex p e r i e n c i n g a shortage of lifeguards for the 2025/26 season.

This means that

pools may only be open to season-ticket holders on more occasions than in past seasons.

Upgrade works are ongoing at the Baradine Swimming Pool.

Over the Odds CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Dubbo Races Friday, 3 October Punters are still able to get set for substantial wagers on c ou rse at central d istr icts and western area meetings, with a racegoer having a big collect when Saint Philomena won on Friday at Dubbo.

A prominent bookmaker bet the punter $8000 to $400 each way on Sa i nt Ph i lomena, subsequent winner of the 1600 metres Class 1 and Maiden Plate.

Saint Philomena ($20 to $18) was taken to the early lead in the 14-horse field by Jake P r a c ey- Hol me s a nd , when under siege in the straight, kept fighting to win by a long head from the fast-finishing Prince Of Prophets (Donovan D i l lon , $ 5 . 5 0 ), w it h Down The Kooka (Aaron Bullock, $5.50) a short neck away, third.

Saint Philomena, a four-year-old chestnut mare trained at Dubbo by Dar Lunn for Rob Pratten (Dubbo) and Guy Mitchell (Binnaway), has, from 18 starts, now recorded two wins and seven placings.

A nother four-yea rold ma re, Fetes Des Meres, off for a spell now, w rapped up a n outsta nd i ng open i ng ca mpa ig n for D ubbo trainer Garry Lunn when winning the 1400 metres Benchmark 82 Handicap.

After being unplaced at all five starts in Victoria, Fetes Des Meres came to Garry Lunn in May this year and has emerged as one of the best prospects in the region, with four wins and three placings from eight starts – the only time unplaced being when coming from an outside barrier on a very heavy track at Rosehill.

In last position approaching the home turn at Dubbo on Friday, Fetes Des Meres ($3.20 to $2.60) was brought down the outside with a powerful run by leading apprentice Siena Grima and won by a short neck f rom T u r ned Dow n (Donovan Dillon,$1.95 favourite) and Rhythm Is A Dancer (Mitchell Bell, $5).

“Although trailing the field, I was confident Fetes Des Meres was going to win as she was relaxed and travelling so well,” Siena Grima said.

Mudgee Races Saturday, 4 October At her first race ride for over two years, apprentice Hollie Hull won the 1100

metres Benchmark 50 Handicap on Saturday at Mudgee.

Now the winner of 12 races, Hollie Hull at one stage was apprenticed to Clint Lundholm at Dubbo.

Since making a comeback, Hollie Hull has been apprenticed to her cousin, Jake Hull, who once rode as a jockey at central west tracks and now has a big team in work at Gosford. “ I promised Hol l ie that if she worked hard I would try and give her a winner at her first ride back,” Jake Hull said.

Leading most of the way, t he Ja ke Hu l l trained Rebelious Red (Hollie Hull, $4) won by a length from Ultra White ( K at h B el l-P it omac , $3.60) and Gold Smiles (Shannen Llewellyn, $8).

Prior to her winning double at Mu nger y P i c n i c s o n S u n d ay, S cone tra i ner Ni k k i Pollock landed a double at Mudgee with Stolen Show (Billy Cray, $5) and Not My Problem (Jordan Quince, $3 favourite).

Formerly from West Austra l ia and now apprenticed to Alison Smith at Orange, Jordan Quince is riding well and she had the Brett Thompson trained Jade Division always nicely positioned in the 1400 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Over the concluding stages, Jade Division ($7) reeled in the leader – Fleetly (Mikayla Weir, $6) – to score by over a length, with Out Wrapped

(Leeshelle Small, $16) finishing third.

T he other w i n ner, t h e D a l e Wa g s t a f f , Newcastle-trained Z a r t a m ay ( S h a n nen L lewelly n, $8) led throughout in the 1850 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Mungery Races Sunday, 5 October A str ong-f i n ish i ng fou r th i n the recent $50,000 Picnic Championship over 1400 metres at Dubbo, the Connie Greig trained A l l a nde s t epp e d up to 1750 metres when winning the Mungery Picnic Cup before a big crowd on Sunday.

Leandro Ribeiro, who on Friday had landed a double including the Cup winner Loveofmylife at Lockhart Picnics, was aboard Allande, the third leg of a winning treble for Ribeiro and Connie Greig at Mungery.

Overhauling Blackfish and Encyclopediain in the straight, A llende ($2.30 to $1.80 favourite) won by two lengths from Bandolero (Paul Zerafa, $4) and Blackfish (Arthur Pollock, $6).

At the 101st annual race meeting at Mungery, Connie Greig and L eandro Ribeiro kicked off the day with Beaunified ($3), which joined the lead threewide on the final turn, then broke clear to beat Zillions (Ashley Boyd, $2 .2 0 favou r ite) and Anaisa (Ricky Blewitt, $3) in the 800 metres Class 3 Trophy Handicap.

Formerly trained at

Albury, Notleanormean (Leandro Ribeiro, $4.60) was first up for Connie Greig when coming from midfield the win the 1000 metres Open T rophy Handicap from the leader, Brea Ex (Arthur Pollock, $5.50), and Firestorm Boy (Paul Zerafa, $4.60).

From her stables at S cone, Nick i Pollock has become a prominent trainer on the Picnic circuit, with her double at Mungery – Shades Of Truth and One Command – both being ridden by her son, Arthur Pollock.

Shades Of Truth ($1.80 favourite) challenged for the lead in the straight and pulled away from The Hoff (Zara Lewis, $3.80) and Western Eagle (Leandro Ribeiro, $4) in the 1000 metres Class B Handicap.

One Command (Arthur Pollock, $2.30) then took the lead over the closing stages of the 1200 metres Conditional Open Handicap to score in a close finish from s t a bl e m at e V i n l a g o ( Ricky Blewitt, $1.80 favourite), and Geewhiz Johnny (Tamsin Gough, $3.50).

Carrying the red-withyellow-stars colours of the Orbell family and trained

Rhiannon Byers awarded prestigious NRL honour earlier announced it had nominated Byers for the honour.

“Working in the community and working for Kurranulla Aboriginal Corporation has been really important to me,” Byers said upon being nominated, as reported on the Sharks’ media platform.

“Going into schools every day and seeing the kids grow... When I first started, they were really disconnected with community and our culture.

“Seeing them growing and finding who they are as individuals has been really fulfilling for me. It’s also been helping me with my cultural journey.

“I love every day that go into work.”

Byers encouraged other NRLW players to immerse themselves in local initiatives, saying it brings about a “sense of belonging” to one’s club and region.

“I’m not from the Shire – I’m from Moree, NSW,” the Sharks reported at the time.

“Moving here, I wanted to get more involved in the community. Sharks Have Heart are also very good at community work and I love what they do. With Kurranulla Aboriginal Corporation being involved in collaborations with the Sharks, it’s been another thing that I love to do and strive for.”

As the winner of the Veronica White Medal, Byers receives $2000 for her club and $2000 for a charity of her choice. Following on from her success at the Dally M night, Byers was the recipient of a Sharks Have Heart Community Award at the club’s Porter Gallen Medal evening.

A girl from the Moree Plains is now the toast of the NRL after claiming one of the league’s prestigious honours.

Sharks second-rower Rhiannon Byers, who grew up in Pallamallawa, was announced as the 2025 Veronica White Medallist at the Dally M awards held in Sydney last Wednesday. The medal recognises women who have made outstanding contributions to their local communities and beyond while playing in the NRLW competition.

Byers mentors hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth through Kurranulla Aboriginal Corporation, promoting cultural connection and personal growth.

She is also a passionate mental health advocate.

“This award isn’t just a celebration of what has been done, but a reminder of the responsibility that comes with it,” Byers said on stage, as reported by the Sharks. “I’m committed to continuing the work, lifting others up and making a meaningful impact wherever I can.

“Before I finish, I would like to leave something to think about.

Mental health affects all of us, at every age. Whether you’re a child, Elder, athlete, parent or a community worker, mental wellbeing is something we all carry. Too often we stay silent out of fear of being judged or misunderstood. But there is no weakness in speaking up and there is no shame in asking for help.

Reaching out is strength and starting a conversation can change a life.”

Police appeal for information after body found in burnt out vehicle Police news Police are appealing for assistance from the public as inquires continue into the discovery of a body in a burnt-out vehicle in the North West at the weekend.

Emergency services were called to the Kamilaroi Highway, Brewarrina, about 5.15am on Sunday, September 28, when an SUV was found alight.

A body was found inside the vehicle once the fire had been extinguished by Fire and Rescue NSW. A crime scene was established and an investigation commenced under Strike Force Mayville, comprising of detectives from Central North Police District and the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad.

The remains are yet to be formally identified, however, investigators are following a number of lines of inquiry.

As inquiries continue, police are appealing for anyone with information about the incident to call Bourke Police.

Central North PD crime manager, Detective Inspector Andrew Barnes, said the death is being treated as suspicious.

“Due to the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body we are treating the death as suspicious,” Det Insp

Barnes said.

“While we are awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination, my detectives have been provided with information which indicates a possible identity of the deceased.

“Based on that information, we do not believe there is any evidence that members of the local community are at risk, however, we are appealing to the public to come forward if they have information which could be relevant to this investigation.

“We hope to confirm the identity of the deceased as well as the cause of death this week. This information is vital to the ongoing investigation.

“I can confirm detectives have spoken with a number of people in the local area, and hope anyone with information – or dashcam vision – of the vehicle, or the person driving that vehicle before it was found alight on Sunday, to come forward.

“The vehicle has now been identified as being a green 1996-model Nissan Pathfinder station wagon with NSW registration CR21TG. Checks have revealed the vehicle is currently unregistered.

“Anyone with information they believe can assist police is urged to contact Bourke Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” Det Insp Barnes said.

Council rate page set for 2026-27 The NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal has announced it has set council rate pegs for the 2026-27 financial year.

Tribunal chair Carmel Donnelly said IPART sets a separate rate peg for each of the state’s 128 local government areas and core rate pegs range from 2.5 per cent to 4.2 per cent. In the North West, the final rate pegs are Gunnedah 3.7 per cent, Liverpool Plains 3.6 per cent, Moree Plains 3.1 per cent, Narrabri 3.4 per cent and Warrumbungle 3.9 per cent.

“The rate peg allows councils to increase income from rates to keep pace with increased costs, while limiting the increase to what is necessary to maintain services,” Ms Donnelly said. “This helps councils keep providing services that ratepayers rely on.

“The rate peg reflects changes in council operating costs. The Tribunal has also included an adjustment to smooth the impact of local government election costs for ratepayers.”

Eighty-three councils will also receive an additional population growth factor to reflect their increasing population, so council’s total rates income per capita keeps pace with population growth.

The rate peg only applies to a council’s ‘general income’, which is mostly from rates and makes up around a third of councils’ total income on average. Councils receive revenue from multiple sources other than rates, including grants and user fees and charges.

It is now up to each council to decide whether rates will rise. The rate peg doesn’t automatically change the rates notice people receive from their council. Each elected council will decide whether to increase rates, which categories of rates to change, and what concessions apply to people in need of financial assistance.

“We encourage any ratepayers facing difficulty paying their rates bill to get in touch with their council for information on concessions and other assistance options.”

Westpac Rescue Helicopter deployed to assist injured hiker in national park The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked by the NSW Ambulance Aeromedical Control Centre to a hiker who had suffered a leg injury on a remote track in the Warrumbungle National Park, west of Coonabarabran, at 4.30pm on Wednesday, October 1.

The NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic from the helicopter’s critical care medical team was winch inserted into the scene and treated a patient in their 50s for an isolated ankle injury.

Following further assessment, the

team decided that the paramedic would remain with the patient overnight, with extraction planned for the following morning.

Around 7.30 am, on Thursday, October 2, a Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked by the NSW Ambulance Aeromedical Control Centre to return to the scene.

The patient was further treated and stabilised before being winched into the aircraft and airlifted to Dubbo Base Hospital.

New data platform to ensure Australian cotton is future-ready Australian cotton growers are set to reap the benefits of digital farming, thanks to a new secure, centralised data platform that will boost efficiency, strengthen traceability and deliver the transparency that today’s market demands.

The Australian Cotton Industry Data Platform is being developed by the Narrabri-based Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) in partnership with growers and the wider cotton industry to collect, connect, analyse and share data across the Australian cotton supply chain.

The platform will simplify and automate data management, reducing duplication and saving time for everyone involved – from growers and consultants to gins, merchants and brands – in response to evolving market access requirements for information about how raw materials like cotton are produced.

The platform is a core initiative of the CRDC Strategic Plan 2023– 28, Clever Cotton, and marks one of CRDC’s largest investments, with $7 million allocated for designing, building and running the platform over the coming years. The scope and build of the platform is now underway, with CRDC announcing the build partner, KPMG Australia. Once built, the platform will create a more

connected and future-ready cotton industry through better use of trusted and grower-controlled data.

CRDC executive director Allan Williams said the platform development is informed by extensive industry-wide consultation and collaboration.

“The platform has the potential to be game-changing for our industry. It will not only streamline efficiencies for growers but also unlock new opportunities to meet global demands in an increasingly digital world,” Mr Williams said.

“With data more valuable than ever, we have worked closely with growers and the supply chain to ensure that this will be an industry-owned and grower-controlled platform that is safe, secure and reliable.

“This is about giving growers a trusted tool that is seamlessly integrated into existing processes, easing mounting reporting pressures and streamlining systems.”

The platform will deliver value for Australian cotton growers by supporting better decisions by making insights and information more accessible, saving time by automating data handling and reducing duplication, simplifying compliance with regulatory and sustainability reporting, and boosting market access by improving traceability and

CRDC executive director Allan William said a new data platform has the potential to be game-changing for the Australian cotton industry.

transparency to meet global buyer expectations.

Cotton Australia CEO Adam Kay said the data platform forms a key component of the Strategic Roadmap for Australian Cotton, led by Cotton Australia, CRDC and the Australian Cotton Shippers Association.

“The Strategic Roadmap aims to ensure the Australian cotton industry remains competitive

in a changing global market. We want Australian cotton to be recognised as a global leader with the most sustainable, ethical and high-quality cotton available, backed up by credible evidence,” Mr Kay said.

“Data is one of five key pillars in the Roadmap due to the importance of providing evidence of our practices and improvements, and the cotton industry data platform

will play this crucial role.”

KPMG Australia has been awarded the contract to develop the platform, with the build phase now underway and beta testing expected from the 2025–26 cotton season. Full functionality will be rolled out by 2028, with services introduced in phases. Over time, more tools and services will be added, so the platform's value will continue to grow.

State government launches farm firefighting unit registration scheme Red tape preventing the use of Farm Fire Units (FFUs) has been reduced ahead of the state’s bushfire season.

Last Wednesday, the NSW government launched a conditional registration scheme to enable typically unregistered FFUs to be used legally and under the protection of insurance. FFUs are commonly small trucks, utes or trailers with fixed water, pumps or fire management equipment, kept on farms to be rapidly deployed in the event of a fire.

NSW Farmers’ president Xavier Martin said the new scheme was

progress on solving the problem facing farmer volunteers after years of advocacy.

“These vehicles are lightning quick at getting to fires and getting them under control – but it’s simply not practical to register these units when they’re primarily used on farm for just a few months each year,” Mr Martin said.

“A more reasonable method to conditionally register these units for their specific purpose, so they can be used legally and under the protection of third-party insurance, is much needed – and this is a step towards that.”

With farmers able to apply to register their units under the scheme from October 7, 2025, Mr Martin said NSW Farmers would monitor the scheme to ensure it was fit-for-purpose for farmer volunteers across the state.

“There’s still conditions around distance, permanently attached firefighting equipment and vehicle inspections (including costs) that must be met as part of the scheme, so it’s certainly not a perfect solution, but this is an important starting point after two trials,” Mr Martin said. “It has taken a long time to get here and this

scheme has got to work for our farmer volunteers, who are the ones that use these units to fight fires and protect not just their farms, but their communities too.”

In response to the announcement, Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Gurmesh Singh said the commonsense change is a good start but more needs to be done to reduce red tape.

“When a fire breaks out, farmers are often the first to respond, and they can play a key role in limiting damage to property and protecting lives, particularly before emergency crews arrive,” Mr

Singh said.

“In paddocks and sheds across regional NSW, there’s an army of privately owned firefighting assets known as the ‘mosquito fleet’ and it’s good to see they will now be able to be more readily utilised, but there are still questions around some of the stringent guidelines.

“We don’t want a situation where people are being rejected for things like needing to have the equipment permanently attached, which might not be practical for a farmer in a day to day sense.”

Level two water restrictions for Narrabri For the first time in eight years, water restrictions have come into effect, with the Narrabri town water supply moving to level two restrictions.

Narrabri Shire Council announced on Friday, October 3, the measure would take place from 12am on Saturday, October 4.

In its announcement, council said Narrabri has been relying solely on the Elizabeth Street bore in recent months after PFAS levels in the Killarney Street and Tibbereena Street bores exceeded updated Australian Drinking Water Guidelines.

As reported previously by The Courier, council had put mitigation measures in place after testing in early July showed the Namoi Reservoir slightly above the current

guidelines (PFOS level of 9 ng/l – just above the new Australian Drinking Water Guidelines of 8 ng/l).

“In line with recommendations from NSW Health, council conducted an investigation into this slight elevation of results, switching off the Tibberena and Killarney bores,” The Courier reported at the time.

As temperatures rise, so too has demand on water, placing significant strain on the supply, council said.

The Elizabeth Street bore has a pumping capacity of 60 litres per second. During a 24-hour period, it is topping up the Namoi Street Reservoir by an average of seven per cent. Current consumption, however, is depleting the reservoir by an average of 11 per

cent each day, meaning levels are dropping by around four per cent daily.

Mayor Darrell Tiemens said the community’s cooperation is needed, but the NSW government’s support is essential. And, with government enforced changes to guidelines being the cause of this situation the time had come for the state government to provide direct assistance.

“Water is everything to this community.

Our children are playing in splash pads, our families rely on this water every day, and our schools, businesses, and aged care facilities cannot function without it,” Cr Tiemens said.

“We have been actively advocating for a long-term solution for some time and would have liked to see this problem resolved before reaching this point, but we are still waiting.

“Narrabri needs a treatment system in place within days, not months, to safeguard our supply!”

An emergency grant of $50,000 from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) will allow council to install a larger pump at the Elizabeth Street bore. While this will help narrow the gap between supply and demand, consumption is expected to increase further as the weather warms.

Narrabri Shire Council will also be

tightening its own water use. Council announced the measures were in place for sporting fields and parks and gardens in Narrabri.

The Narrabri splashpad, located at Pirate Park, is also operating on amended hours to help conserve the town water supply.

General manager Eloise Chaplain said council was committed to leading by example.

“We are going beyond the level two restrictions and have significantly reduced the watering of parks and public spaces,” Ms Chaplain said.

“Our focus is on keeping essential areas safe and functional while cutting back wherever we can. We encourage residents and businesses to join us by making simple changes.

“Shorter showers, running full washing loads, switching off unnecessary outdoor watering, and checking for leaks are all great places to start. Every drop saved today helps prolong our supply for tomorrow.”

Ms Chaplain stressed that while level two restrictions are framed as recommendations, council strongly encourages the community to follow them.

“If we can all work together now, we have a much better chance of delaying stricter restrictions later in summer. Every drop counts, and every person matters.”

Four boys in custody after alleged attempted break-in Four boys are in custody and a man is being treated in hospital for a cut to his forearm after an alleged attempted break-in on a home in Moree.

Officers attached to New England Police District have been told five boys were allegedly kicking the front door of a home on Boland Driver shortly before 3.20am on Saturday, October 4, when they were confronted by a 56-year-old man who lived there.

A fight developed during which the man was allegedly hit in the head with a rock then his left forearm slashed with a knife.

The boys left when a witness intervened.

Police were alerted and attended a property in Moree a short time later arresting three boys aged 13 and a fourth boy aged 11. All were taken to Moree Police Station where they have been charged.

A 13-year-old boy has been charged with three offences: Aggravated break and enter with intent – use violence, and, enter enclosed land (not prescribed premises) without lawful excuse, and breach of bail.

A second 13-year-old boy has been charged with three offences: Aggravated break and enter with intent – use violence, enter enclosed land (not prescribed premises) without lawful excuse, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

A third 13-year-old boy has been charged with three offences: Aggravated break and enter with intent – use violence, enter enclosed land (not prescribed premises) without lawful excuse, and reckless wounding – in company.

An 11-year-old boy has been charged with two offences: Aggravated break and enter with intent – use violence, and enter enclosed land (not prescribed premises) without lawful excuse.

All four were refused bail to appear via AVL before Parramatta Children's Court on Saturday, October 4. A fifth child is being sought by police.

The man was taken to Moree Base Hospital for treatment for the wound to his arm.

Inquiries are continuing under Operation Soteria.

Record likely broken for saleyard Gunnedah’s livestock selling centre has recorded one of its biggest sales with 5197 total head sold last week.

Gunnedah Saleyards president Tim Walsh said the previous record was suggested to be in 1991 where 4933 were sold in a single sale.

He said prices held up well and highlighted how drier parts of the state had likely driven up sale numbers in Gunnedah.

“A very dry autumn in Southern NSW forced breeders to move their stock to the greener pastures in our area, resulting in a record sale ... in Gunnedah,” Mr Walsh said.

Local stud stock selling agent Scott Cooper said it was biggest sale he had seen at Gunnedah in his 30-year career.

His agency alone sold 1450, with 160 cows even trucked down from as far as Charleville in western Queensland which has experienced a great growing season.

Highways in Northern Tablelands included in spray sealing program Following meetings on September 30 with Transport for NSW and the minister’s office, Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan said he is pleased several of the electorate’s highways will be included in the NSW government’s 10-month spray sealing program.

The Northern Tablelands will share in $37.5 million put towards more than 470 kilometres of regional roads to improve safety and longevity.

A protective layer of bitumen and aggregate waterproofing will be added to sections of the Gwydir, Carnarvon, Newell, New England and Bruxner Highways.

“The inclusion of Northern Tablelands roads in the spray sealing program is very welcome after a particularly wet winter and an increase in traffic following heavy rain on the coast earlier this year,” Mr Moylan said.

“I have been working hard and knocking on doors for our region to get a look-in when it comes to road funding and improvements, so I am glad to see the NSW government has listened and included our area in these upgrades.

“But there is always more to do.

“Our local council roads need funding and safety

“I am committed to continue advocating for more resources to be directed to our region.

“Motorists in the Northern Tablelands deserve to be able drive on roads which are up to scratch so I will continue to put pressure on the state government to ensure we have safe and functional roads.”
