Profile KEVIN COMBER Where do you work?

I am a venue technician at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. I’m one of the people that create the behind-the-scenes magic of the theatre, so I suppose you could say that I’m a fulltime magician.

Have you always lived in Dubbo?

Born and raised! Although I spent a short time in Bathurst and Lismore while I was at university.

What are your favourite memories of growing up in Dubbo or your hometown?

Going down the road to my mate’s place on weekends, or after school shenanigans with friends.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I spend a lot of my spare time playing video games, playing music, listening to music, or watching tv shows or YouTube.

Do you have any hidden talents or special skills?

I would say I am pretty musical; I can play a bit of bass and guitar, but my best instrument is drums.

Oh, and I also speak a little Spanish.

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I am definitely a night owl. I don’t get on well with mornings.

Do you have any pets? What are they and what are their names?

I do! I have a staffy cross called Nia. She spends a lot of her time either sleeping or being scared of the sky, perhaps I should have named her Chicken Little.

What are you watching at the moment?

I have been rewatching The Office, the US version of course. Easily one of the best sitcoms ever made.

Kevin Malone is my spirit animal.

Have you read any good books lately?

I think the last time I read a book was in high school.

I’ve never really gotten into reading books.

What music do you like to listen to?

I like a lot of music, but I mostly listen to rock and metal music. Some of my favourite artists are Ghost, Foo Fighters, Slipknot and The Warning.

What does the next 5 years look like for you?

Honestly, I have no idea. I am just going wherever life takes me.

HEROIC COUPLE THELMA AND FRED:

5

Dubbo High prefects, Pacific War veterans, sweethearts Second in our series recognising our veterans’ selfless sacrifices as we approach Anzac Day, is the amazing story of two Dubbo High School students – Thelma Childs (nee Moxham) and Frederick Childs – who both put their lives on the line for their country with outright heroism and selfless dedication in World War II. Original research by local historian Patrick Bourke.

By DAVID DIXON

WAR AND PEACE: Former Dubbo High School prefects who met again in our darkest hour and fell in love. The happy couple Senior Sister Thelma Childs (nee Moxham) and Captain Frederick Childs MC. This studio portrait was taken on the day of Fred’s investiture for the Military Cross at Government House on February 16, 1946.

•••

THIS is story about two local students, who met at school, and then found each-other again and fell in love, in our darkest hour…

They look like any happy and handsome post-war couple, still in uniform, and with the rest of their lives in front of them.

But this charming studio image from early 1946 – less than six months after the end of World War II – conceals years of sacrifice, dedication, loss, and bravery, at a time when our country was threatened as never before.

Yet for Thelma ‘Thel’ Minnie Moxham and Frederick ‘Fred’ Harold Childs, it all started at Dubbo High School way back in 1931, with the election of prefects for the year ahead.

Thelma was born in Singleton on July 12, 1914, at the start of World War I, the fifth of six children to Henry and Minnie Moxham.

Following the end of the war, the worldwide Spanish Flu (influenza) epidemic of 1919 took her father, with the family moving to Dubbo in 1922.

Thelma later graduated as a nurse at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney in 1937, and was invited on staff at the hospital.

She enlisted in the newly-formed RAAF Nursing Service in late 1940, was promoted to senior sister in 1942, and sent on a number of highly-dangerous special medical escort duties to the United States, England, and Canada between January and June, 1943.

She later served in New Guinea in charge of No. 2 Medical Clearing Station, at Madang, near the front-line between July, 1943, and December, 1944.

In early 1945, Senior Sister Childs returned to Australia and served as acting matron at ‘Rona’, No. 3 RAAF Hospital, Bradfield Park (though her appointment in the RAAF Nursing Service was later terminated with her marriage).

In 1946, she was awarded the Royal Red Cross Medal (First Class).

The first child of Archibald and Rebecca Childs, Fred was born on February 21, 1914, at Waratah, near Newcastle.

In 1929, the family moved to Dubbo where Fred passed his Leaving Certificate in 1931 at Dubbo High School, in the same year as his fellow school prefect, Thelma Moxham.

In 1932, Fred commenced a clerkship with chartered accountants Tayler & Warby in Dubbo, until 1938 when his family relocated to Sydney and settled in Dulwich Hill.

He enlisted on July 15, 1940, and, following his appointment as Lieutenant in March 1942, em-

barked at Townsville on HMAS Duntroon in March,1943, for New Guinea, where he was transferred to the 24th Battalion. It was here that his outstanding heroism came to the fore.

Fred was wounded in action fighting the Japanese at Markham Point on September 4, 1943, and – for his actions over the next four days – was awarded the Military Cross.

His citation read: “During the action at Markham Point in New Guinea during the period 4th–8th September 1943, Lt Childs led his platoon with great gallantry and determination.

“On 4th September, he penetrated the enemy’s strong defences and gained the inner line, although wounded in both legs, he continued to direct the operations of his platoon under heavy fire.

“The position was held for over seven hours before it was overrun. Lt Childs then assisted one of his badly-wounded men to crawl through enemy lines.

“Although unable to rise from the ground, Lt Childs shot an enemy soldier who attempted to despatch the crawling men.

“After crawling for four days with badly fly-blown wounds and without water, Lt Childs and the soldier reached their own lines.

“Lt Child throughout made careful notes of the enemy dispositions. His example was an inspiration to his men,” the citation concluded.

Up until this point, many believed that he had been killed in action. Following the loss of his platoon, Lt Child’s family were formally notified on September 7, that he was missing.

A telegram notifying them of his survival, was delivered exactly two weeks later on September 21, but this was days after they had seen a photograph of him being stretchered by native stretcher-bearers – affectionately-called, “Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels” by the troops – in a Red Cross photo published in Australia.

Fred then returned to Australia on the hospital ship Manunda in October, 1943, and was admitted to the Army Hospital at Concord.

It was here, that fate brought the old school friends together again.

With four wards at Concord allocated as the No. 3 RAAF Hospital, a chance conversation led Childs to enquire after his old classmate, Thelma Moxham, who was in the RAAF Nursing Service.

He was informed she was embarking for New Guinea the next day.

Due to his injuries, Lt Childs spent the entirety of 1944 and the early part of 1945 between Concord and Lady Wakehurst Convalescent Hospital. Upon release, he was promoted to captain, and posted to Victoria Barracks until his discharge in January, 1946.

In between, Captain Childs MC married Senior Sister T Moxham on November 6, 1945, a few weeks after the Japanese surrender. The couple later had two sons. Fred died on February 8, 1986, and Thelma on March 13, 2003.

riday 12th April saw the beginning to what’s hopefully a long standing tradition in a lot of people’s calendar for many years to come. We had a massive turn out considering we didn’t advertise at all, with a whopping 80 plus golfers and golfer wannabes on the day. The day was filled with lots of fun and an amazing time as they played their way around a beautiful course.

For those that don’t know us or haven’t heard about Help A Mate – this is a local charity run by a committee of volunteers who do an amazing job to raise money for mental health and homelessness in Dubbo. A local charity where every cent raised stays local.

On the day we presented Bruno from Tradies In Sight a donation of $10,000. Hoping this helps him and his team continue doing the

great job they do in our community with Mental Health programs.

Of course, none of this could have been possible if it weren’t for the people of Dubbo. We are astounded by the generosity of the community as we rallied together to try and raise as much money as we can for this great cause.

A massive thank you goes to the people and businesses listed below for their generosity.

The committee of Help A Mate just want to say a big thank you to everyone Don’t forget to put it in your calendars for next year and if anybody

Look out for pesky locusts, locals told Bill Stanford's stories

THEY’RE one of the famous seven plagues that Egypt suffered in the Old Testament, and in-town locals, not just landholders, are being asked to keep an eye out for them.

Local Land Services is urging everyone in the central west to remain vigilant for signs of plague locusts following recent activity across parts of NSW. NSW Locust Commissioner, Andrew Mulligan, said early reporting of suspected locust activity was the best way to help protect agriculture against the threat.

“We are starting to see locusts in parts of Central Tablelands, Central West, North-West, and Western Local Land Services regions,” Mr Mulli-

gan said.

“Remaining vigilant is the key for landholders as reports made can help inform the management decisions we make now and into the future.”

Mr Mulligan said there were several key signs landholders should look for to ensure they were quick to respond.

“Adult plague locusts like to lay eggs in harder, loamy red soils, with compact roads next to crops, tree lines, contour banks and farm buildings prime areas,” he said.

“Signs of locusts include a series of small holes in the ground, damage to vegetation, nymphs bouncing on the ground and hearing the buzzing noise they make.”

I

spent a morning interviewing Bill Stanford on his release of his first book Skirmish Hill. This is a fascinating history of Skirmish Hill in Western Australia. But it is so much more than that. It has little titbits of history from all parts of Australia and is a unique read.

I was fascinated as I listened to Bill’s stories of how he put the history together. The real characters and people he talks about shine out from his words. The story of the man on the cover took my breath away. His love of history is evident

as you look through the pages.

Photos, documents, and information abound. He also includes quotes from other famous people in an effort to help us remember history and the teaching of it is very important to us.

It is no wonder the renowned professor of history Geoffrey Blainey AC called it an unconventional book on early Australian history. It is available at the Book Connection. I look forward to reading any other books Bill might write.

connectivity, and improve to its business efficiency.

The innovative fibre-optic telecommunications technology provides a way for council to securely connect its multiple remote offices and depots, providing near unlimited bandwidth and performance, with the support of local energy provider Essential on which, surprisingly, the whole system runs.

“With dark fibre, our connections to remote offices are now more reliable, lightning-fast, and lower maintenance,” Council’s Chief Information Officer Matthew Green said.

“Dark fibre has become the backbone of our connectivity infrastructure, providing us with unparalleled speed, security, and simplicity,” he added.

Dubbo Regional Council is also using dark fibre for its Safety Camera Network – which consists of more than 100 ultra-high-definition cameras throughout the central business district (CBD) – Matthew says, adding: “Dark fibre technology is a key contributor to making Dubbo’s CBD a safer place for the community.”

Dark fibre telecommunications technology is called “dark”,

because the fibre-optic cables don’t carry a light signal. Dark fibre provides maximum control and flexibility to create your own high-capacity network with almost limitless scalability.

Metaphorically, it’s like driving by yourself on a highway with no cars, traffic jams or accidents. Dark fibre also reduces operational maintenance and complexities associated with traditional networking solutions, while providing far greater security.

With point-to-point (P2P) connections, dark fibre has simplified council’s network security layer, safeguarding sensitive data and mitigating risks associated with traditional communication infrastructure.

Essential Energy’s Head of Commercial Infrastructure Mark Beasley says that dark fibre enables greater levels of data delivery and provides faster and more reliable communication options for customers.

“Essential Energy has deployed more than 1550 kilometres of fibre across its network,” Mark said.

“More than 50 per cent of the dark fibre cores are available for utilisation by customers across our network,” he concluded.

Collins ready to hit Stock Route Festival with a few familiar numbers

By DALLAS REEVES MULTIPLE Golden Guitar winner Travis Collins has toured enough to know what song requests he might receive at the Stock Route Music Festival at Dubbo’s Lazy River Estate this Saturday, April 20.

Collins and Canada’s Dan Davidson will co-headline the allstar gig.

Those in attendance will get one or two surprises but they can expect Collins’ cover of Thank God I’m a Country Boy, Just Another Girl, and High Horse, to come out.

“The songs belong to the fans,” he chuckled. “I’m just the courier.”

Collins, who grew up one of six children in a musical family in south-west Sydney, said nothing makes more sense to him than playing country music at a rural venue like Dubbo.

“It’s the piece of Lego that fits perfectly,” he said. “It’s what we are meant do. We are supposed to be out in the regions playing this music for country people… we’re not meant to stay on the east coast playing country music.

“The response you get from the fans out there and the energy they give back to you is an absolute true indicator of why we do it.”

Speaking of catching up with Davidson, Collins said the pair are good mates that have recorded and toured together. Now they are also label-mates at Australia’s ABC Music.

“It’s going to be good,” Collins said of catching up with Davidson.

“Not only to hang out and play a couple of great sets and watch each other’s gig but I’m sure we will crack a few beers afterwards.”

That is the only chance they will get to see each other in Davidson’s two-week Australia trip.

Collins has a huge 2024 ahead of him with the ‘Don’t Get Me Started’ tour.

A highlight of his time on the road this year will be his second appearance at CMA Fest, the world’s biggest country music festival in the home of world-wide country, Nashville, Tennessee.

“It’s a thrill and an honour,” he said. “It’s one thing to be invited, but the true validation is to be invited back.”

Collins’ last three albums, Brave and The Broken, Wreck Me, and

last year’s Any Less Anymore have all exceeded expectations to become his best-ever albums at their respective time of release.

“It’s put the pressure on the next one,” he said.

However, he noted that two decades in the industry has taught him to sing about what he knows and understands, and also to consider how a song will align with the needs of touring.

“I feel like I hold out to be more authentic now,” he said. “I’m not in a hurry to release music, I’m more patient to release the right music. The music is going to come first.”

Collins’ father Terry played in a band that regularly toured Central West NSW. With Travis one of six kids, the family constant was music.

“It (music) became family life,” Travis said.

That made his first-ever Golden Guitar in 2017 all the more special.

It turned into a triple celebration with Travis winning male vocalist of the year (Hard Light), the APRA AMCOS Song of the Year (Call Me

Crazy with Damien Leith) and single of the year (Just Another Girl).

Travis Collins revealed he had received 19 nominations before he won his first Golden Guitar.

It was the first time his dad went to the awards. He has won anoth-

er six Golden Guitar awards since but that night seven years ago will always be the most special.

“I was so, so glad he was there that night,” Travis recalled of his father being in the crowd.

“I remember saying at the end of the speech: ‘This one is for Dad, we got one.’ Because he (Terry Collins) has forgotten more about music than I’ll ever know. It was a nice feeling for him to be there and watch that.

“Looking through the lens as a father myself, I can’t imagine what music opportunities he gave up to be a family man. That award was his as much as mine.”

Travis Collins is a father to a two-and-a-half-year-old girl Ava and five-month-old son Everett.

He said he has learned to devote more time to his family.

“As much as we love this music and touring and doing what we have to do, I try not to get it twisted,” Travis said. “That’s the thing I’m going to have in 20 years, 30 years, 40 years… when music is not there, my family will always be. They’re everything to me.”

While Travis Collins admits he isn’t a political thinker, his hit Runnin’ The Country he made with

The Wolfe Brothers is a cheeky dig at the nation’s power thinkers.

The idea came at a time when the country music industry was suffering due to COVID-19 lockdowns.

“You have to preface that with is understanding we were three guys on a Zoom meeting at the end of our tether,” Travis revealed.

“Our industry had been decimated. Nick (Wolfe), Tom (Wolfe) and myself, we are the last people you’d get political with.”

The song had a clear message – life would be better if simple people could make big calls.

“Where we live in the country, decisions seem to be made a lot easier with a lot more common sense,” Travis Collins said.

“That was the first thread of the song… if a couple of old farmers and mechanics and people that work the land were able to go in and make some decisions, it feels like it would be more real.”

Now living at Millfield near Cessnock, Travis seems like someone you can picture on a back deck with a beer listening to someone else’s country music – much like his fans.

Max Jackson, Robbie Mortimer, The Bushwackers and Aaron Jurd will all be in action at The Stock Route Music Festival.

Unforgettable exclusive for patrons that attend 2024 Stock Route Music Festival

By DALLAS REEVES LAZY River Estate owner-director Mat Smith has given a small snippet of what is set to be a sensational 2024 Stock Route Music Festival by outlining an exclusive for the country music extravaganza on Saturday, April 20.

Mat confirmed that Canadian star Dan Davidson and Max Jackson will perform their new single Won’t Forget.

It’s an Australian exclusive for the Stock Route Music Festival.

This year also marks the first time the event has secured an international performer in Davidson. (Won’t Forget is also performed with Canadian Tim Hicks and while Hicks won’t be in Dubbo it will still be a powerful rendition with Davidson and Dallas.)

“This is the only place you can see it … here at the Lazy River Estate at the Stock Route Music Festival,” Mat confirmed. “We’re very excited… the estate is looking a picture … it’s a phenomenal line-up, we can’t wait.”

This year marks the third edition of the Stock Route Music Festival.

It began in 2022 with Lazy River Estate directors and co-owners Mat and Krissy Smith looking to bring something different to Dubbo.

Mat noted there are not

many major country music festivals in regional NSW outside of Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Once it began, the next step forward was securing an international act.

That has now been realised with Davidson coming.

Davidson told Dubbo Photo News recently that Won’t Forget is a song that has an easy vibe.

“It’s kind of a young, wild and free song,” Davidson said. “It’s perfect timing for a Canadian summer coming soon and for Australians trying to hang on to the final days of summer.”

Hicks and Davidson collaborate regularly, while Davidson said he met Max Jack-

son when they both played Groundwater Music Festival on the Gold Coast.

“She (Jackson) struck a chord with me,” Davidson said. “Very talented, easy to get along with.”

Davidson was a former guitarist-turned-lead singer in Canadian indie rock band Tupelo Honey.

The release of his second single Found in 2016 elevated Davidson to stardom. Since then, Davidson has built a career that has included seven Canadian Country Music Award nominations, 10 Academy of Country Music Awards, a platinum record, a number one selling Canadian song and record, top 20 charting numbers, and hun-

dreds of performances.

However, it’s not just Davidson coming. Jackson, Travis Collins, The Bushwackers, Robbie Mortimer and Aaron Jurd are all celebrating a special day by doing what they love to do – entertain.

“It’s a very diverse line-up of artists,” Mat said. “You’ve got country, you’ve got rock, you’ve got the Bushwackers.

“It’s (performer) Ashleigh Dallas’ birthday as well so we will celebrate that… it’s just going to be one massive party.”

Mat Smith noted Robbie Mortimer will also entertain.

“He (Mortimer) is going to be electric … he does an amazing live set,” Mat predicted.

Mat Smith said it has taken a lot of work to put this event together and now it’s up to the Dubbo community to attend this event to keep it on the calendar.

Gates open at 1.30pm with the first act on from 2.00pm.

“If people want to have festivals locally, they need to support them,” he said. “You don’t want to miss a single artist.”

Tickets are $89 for adults (18+) and $35 for 12-17 years (plus booking and credit card fees) and are available via 123Tix. There are also return bus tickets to and from Club Dubbo and camping options that can also be purchased via 123Tix.

Motor inn gets make over as temp accommodation for health workers DUBBO, like most bush towns, has to put its best foot forward to attract and retain healthcare workers in these tough economic times.

In an innovative approach that also seeks to alleviate the Golden West’s accommodation shortage, the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD), recently snapped up an old motel as accommodation for doctors, nurses, and others in the caring professions.

Local Health Chief Executive Mark Spittal recently revealed that the district has purchased the former 18-room Endeavour Court Motor Inn on Bourke Street to boost available accommodation for staff serving the Dubbo Health Service.

Mr Spittal said the accommodation is designed to provide a safe

and comfortable place to stay in coming months for visiting medicos and as a temporary home for newly-recruited staff settling into the Dubbo community.

“This investment will further boost our recruitment efforts, by providing visiting frontline health staff with access to a free and safe place to stay in Dubbo, Mr Spittal said.

“The new accommodation will also reduce the burden on the local rental market and reduce our reliance on other higher-cost options,” he added.

The old motel only closed in lateMarch and, when operating as a motor inn, included spaciously appointed rooms and an in-ground swimming pool.

“Healthcare staff work shifts both day-and-night so providing access to accommodation that meets their needs is very important. The site is also close to the hospital, adding to the convenience for staff staying there,” Mr Spittal said.

Dubbo Health Service Manager Debbie Bickerton revealed that modifications are being made to the motel to ensure they meet the requirements of healthcare work-

card,” Ms Bickerton said.

The provision of accommodation for key health workers is a major component of the district’s strategy to support and build the Western NSW health workforce.

Sites where other key healthcare worker accommodation projects are in development include Baradine, Collarenebri, Condobolin, Mudgee, Narromine, Walgett, Warren, and Wellington.

Dubbo Photo News April 18-24, 2024

Wide variety of bargain reads this weekend at Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair AROUND 30,000 books will be up for sale when the 2024 Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair is held this weekend at the Dubbo Showground Centenary Pavilion.

The first Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair was held in 2010 under the direction of the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie.

Michael Egan was a member of the latter club who sadly died from cancer at just 49.

An accountant, Michael Egan was also a lover of books, hence the beginning of a book fair.

From 2010 to 2022 the event ran under the direction Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie.

In 2023, the event was transferred to the Dubbo West Rotary Club who were quite happy to take on the fair.

Colin Shanks, the book fair co-ordinator for Dubbo West Rotary Club, said there will be some slight changes this year.

The final collection day is on Thursday, April 18, from 12 noon until 6pm.

It will also feature a drive-through option – where people can drive through the Showground pavilion and drop off books for sale.

This is a new process and new drop-off day for the last collection day.

Come the Saturday (April 20) and Sunday (April 21), the Dubbo Showground Centenary Pavilion will be packed with reading enthusiasts.

“So many of our patrons are returners … they drop off the books they got last year and then return to get some more,” Mr Shanks said.

Prices are generally between $1 to $3 per book.

That means a large volume of books is required to generate sizeable donations post-event. Mr Shanks said it’s the people of Dubbo that make it happen.

He added Dubbo West Rotary Club is “totally reliant” on community support to provide the books to operate this fundraising event. “It wouldn’t happen without the great supporters that provide the books,” he said.

Soft cover and hard cover fiction, non-fiction, biographies, autobiographies, war and military-related books are generally available.

Mr Shanks said organisers often have “no idea” of what books they will get from year-to-year, noting books relating to animals have been popular dropoffs in 2024.

The Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair will run from 8am to 4pm on Saturday, April 20, and then from 9am to 1pm on Sunday, April 21.

The final hour on Sunday is where people can bag or box up a collection of books and offer a price to the organisers for the lot. It has been dubbed the “bag a bargain” hour.

“It’s a clearance sale if you like,” Mr Shanks explained.

Last year more than $19,000 was raised for charity for Royal Flying Doctor Service Dubbo Support Group and Western Cancer Centre Foundation.

Dubbo West Rotary Club was delighted to support both bodies with the Western Cancer Centre Foundations funds going towards a visually assisted chemotherapy in remote NSW. Dubbo West Rotary Club feel that is a great initiative.

All monies raised from this year’s event will go Royal Flying Doctor Service Dubbo Support Group and a selected cancer research or support organisation to honour Michael Egan.

united once before in 2019 and are hoping this year will see more familiar faces and sashes!

The Showgirl/Young Woman Competition has been running annually in Dubbo since 1961.

2020 was the only year that a new Showgirl was not announced due to the Covid pandemic and the resulting cancellation of the Dubbo Show. Each year women between 18 and 25 years old are invited to enter the Young Woman Competition, previously known as the Showgirl Competition. This com-

petition provides an opportunity for young women to become involved in their local communities as rural ambassadors and have a chance in winning approximately $3000 in prizes. The Young Women Competition expands personal and professional contacts and networking possibilites, maximises entrants’ self-esteem and opens a world of travel opportunities.

Entries are now open for the 2024 ZOOFM Dubbo Show Young Woman Competition.

Plant sale will fund repair work at Burrendong Arboretum SUFFERING floods, drought, land-slips, storms, and funding cuts, it hasn’t been an easy few years for the Burrendong Botanic Garden and Arboretum, set on 164ha of native land with stunning views across Lake Burrendong.

Yet things are looking up for this wonderful local not-for-profit with recent grants, insurance money, and their upcoming autumn sale, showing that they’re on the way back, baby!

Now in their 60th year of operation, it seemed in recent times that things may be coming to a close for the Arboretum, that is open daily from sunrise to sunset and which nurtures thousands of Australian plants, shrubs, trees, and abundant birdlife.

However, State Government funding for managing Crown Land dried-up just before the COVID pandemic, with drought and the lockdowns also effectively shuttering much of their good work.

The flooding storms of recent years then meant that the road to the site also became impassable.

But following a generous sponsorship donation by ACEN Australia through Aquila Wind and final receipt of the insurance money from the November, 2022, storm damage, Burrendong Botanic Garden and Arboretum has had a welcome injection of funds.

These new monies will be used to undertake vital work on the badly damaged roads, lop-off dangerous branches from trees

overhanging the entrance, and the installation of a new filtration system for drinking water.

With about 160 local members, the Friends of the Arboretum are also holding their Autumn

Plant Sale on Saturday, April 20, and Wednesday, April 24, from 9.30am–3pm, so head on out to buy some plants for your own garden and also meet some of the Friends and hear about the work

they do.

“During this 60th year of operation, the Arboretum is looking to reinvigorate, and the Friends welcome anyone old or young who would like to join, or even volunteer to support their work,” a spokesperson said.

“It is more important than ever to care for our environment, maintain our bio-diversity, and support bird and animal habitat for future generations,” they added.

Fine food, sights, and cycling fun — a big weekend at Mendooran MENDOORAN is one of those pretty bush villages that has done it tough over recent years, losing its bank, supermarket, and hardware store, among other businesses.

This close and friendly community perched on the edge of the Warrumbungles, though, has bouncedback, partly thanks to the creation of the Central West Cycle Trail in 2020.

Cyclists and food-lovers alike, are now being invited to a special event in a few weeks’ time, the Mendooran Food Cycle, on the weekend of May 4–5.

Secretary of the Central West Cycle Trail (CWC), David Allworth said that the event is the perfect amalgam of fine food, wonderful sights, and cycling fun.

“It has become obvious to cyclists, that Mendooran is one of the top small towns on the CWC route for experiencing food that is produced in

the region,” David said.

“The Central West is a major and diverse food producing district, and visitors want to experience the unique elements at each location,” he added.

Cyclists and foodies from Dubbo and the golden west, are now being invited to an event that celebrates this little hamlet’s success.

“Mendooran, for its size is doing a mighty job, so it is onto the bike and be there.

“We want to encourage even more of it, hence the weekend” David said.

The event is custom-made for people living in the Dubbo, Wellington, and Gilgandra districts to make their way to Mendooran and make a day of it, or stay the weekend.

The key get-together evening event is the “Tastes of Mendooran”, starting at 5pm on Saturday 4 May at the Showground. This is a value

By KEN SMITH ith locals looking to the sky over the last week, the chance to see one of the six aircraft currently based at Dubbo Regional Airport drew a big crowd to the free RAAF PC21 Static Display and Information Session on Friday, April 12.

It was hard to see who was having the best time, as locals of all ages inspected the plane from every angle, taking photos and enjoying the opportunity to speak with Ben Sawley, the Commanding Officer of 1 Flying Training School with the RAAF (who grew up in Gilgandra), and the trainee pilots and instructors.

A big thank you to the RAAF team who were perfect hosts, posing for photos, answering questions and leaving locals with nothing but praise for the event and all involved.

by Gary Kopervas

ARIES: Before making a decision that could influence your life and that of your loved ones, take the time to think about the long-term consequences. Your generosity will be inspiring, and you’ll share your happiness with the people you love.

TAURUS: Making a few changes to your diet will improve your well-being. Having a deep conversation with your partner will help you avoid conflict and pave the way for a more serious commitment. Thoughtful gestures will be most appreciated.

GEMINI: You could perform a heroic act and save someone from a difficult situation. This will earn you the respect of everyone, even if you only lent a listening ear. Your presence could lighten the mood among your colleagues and your good nature will spread joy.

CANCER: If you plan to move, you’ll start to take the necessary steps more seriously. This includes finding a home that’s perfectly suited to your family, so you can feel more at ease in your own space.

LEO: You’ll expertly express your feelings, demonstrating powerful strength of character. You won’t hesitate to disagree in a direct manner, which will earn you respect at work. This will also increase your efficiency.

VIRGO: You must break free of routine and communicate more openly to deepen your relationship. You could also consider living together if you haven’t already to take things a step further.

LIBRA: Your actions will make your life more exciting and fulfilling. You’ll encounter new challenges at work and home. However, this will promote personal, spiritual and professional growth.

SCORPIO: Sometimes, you must take a step back. You’ll regain your financial or love balance by taking the necessary steps to move in the right direction. The artist benefits from great inspiration.

SAGITTARIUS: Your professional life will see a significant boost, which could lead to a considerable increase in income. On the romantic front, your partner or someone interested in you will pleasantly surprise you with affectionate gestures.

CAPRICORN: Be on the lookout for a sudden moment of clarity that will guide you toward the path you need to follow to achieve your personal and professional goals. You could even initiate a project close to your heart, leading to something significant.

AQUARIUS: You’ll broaden your personal and professional horizons by undertaking a transformative training course. This new step will bring a renewed passion for life, greatly enriching your prospects for the future.

PISCES: Your emotions will be running high this week and your excitement will be palpable. If you recently got into a new relationship, expect a clear sign of commitment from your partner. Any changes that occur will only lead to happiness.

Many types of crystal collecting

Why we collect I

By JOANNE AUSTEN BROWN

was reading an article the other day about why people collect things or have collections.

The article said there are four main reasons: 1. It is good for your mental health. Studies have shown that people who collect things as a hobby have less stress. It also balances your mood and can prevent depression. It can also give you a sense of control, improve your ˙ˢ˖˨˦ ˔ˡ˗ ˕ˢˢ˦˧ ˬˢ˨˥ ˦˘˟˙ʠ˖ˢˡЃ˗˘ˡ˖˘ʡ 2. It supports cognitive function. Play in children improves cognitive function and collecting improves cognitive function in adults. It develops knowledge which encourages new synapses in the brain, improving brain health.

ubbo Cycle Club have lots to celebrate, after a very successful weekend of racing.

This included Haylee Fuller contesting the Oceania Titles held in Brisbane, in conjunction with the Brisbane Festival of Cycling.

This event is designed to create a competition celebration of everything about riding a bike, along with showcasing Brisbane as a new cycling city ahead of the 2032 Olympics.

Strong partnerships with the UCI Gran Fondo World Series and AusCycling National Road Series, has enabled the Festival to bring 6000 entrants of all abilities from the Elite, Under23s, Under19s, Para-Cycling, and recreational riders to family fun rides spanning last weekend.

New chums have a hit-out at Easter Quick Doubles Comp

Another top crowd for the Wellington Boot weekend

By GEOFF MANN

THE 44th running of the Boot gallops carnival drew another massive crowd to Wellington Racecourse on last Friday and Sunday.

Western racing legend, former jockey and now-trainer, Peter Nestor, scored a massive win on Friday in the 2400-metre Iron Horse Handicap, following a supreme effort by his five-year-old stayer, Blue Guitar, to score its second win this year after a recent run of outs.

The $200,000 Wellington Boot feature race went to Fingers Hunter with apprentice Braith Nock in the saddle with crowd favourite, Canamble, holding on for third.

The Wellington Cup and Big Dance Qualifier went to Lockdown Gamble, the unlucky mount that crossed the line first in the Country Championship Qualifier at Mudgee, before subsequently being disqualified. The $100,000 Cup win, may have helped to alleviate some of that pain, however!

An innovation for this year’s meeting was the introduction of the Nigel Tolhurst Clerk of the Scales Trophy for the leading jockey over the two days, with Jake Pracey Holmes accumulating the most points to win the creatively-designed horseshoe and whip from Aaron Bullock.

In other racing news, the Orange Cup Big Dance Qualifier is on tomorrow, Friday, April 19.  See page 17 for our Wellington Boot social photos.

Dubbo Croquet Club recently held their Easter Quick Doubles Competition with some exciting games for fans of this ancient sport.

••• QUICK Doubles has become a regular Easter Saturday Competition and, this year, 16 competitively-spirited members entered the competition. A draw for partners was then conducted and the eight pairs battled each other in a round-robin style format featuring two blocks of teams contesting three games each, plus a semi-final between the blocks,

and an overall final.

The club has gained a number of new members over the last six months and it was especially pleasing to welcome four of our newest members to their first competition.

Well done Jane, Tracey, Stan, and John, we hope to see more of you in our future competitions.

In the Semi-final Block A Winners, Margaret Sheridan and Lillian Wallace, met Block B Runners-Up, Kate Colwell and Noelene Rawson, with Kate and Noelene winning 4/0, while Block B Winners,

Charles Campbell and Stan Ellis, met Block A Runners-Up, John Mulligan and Ben Vang, with John and Ben winning by 4/3.

The final battle was then set between Kate and Noelene and Ben and John and, after some exciting play by all concerned, the day ended with a win for Ben and John with four points to two points for Kate and Noelene.

Congratulations to the winners, and a special “thank-you” to Tricia Shanks who acted as score-keeper and game director.

ROOS RETAIN MELVILLE CUP

April 18-24, 2024 Dubbo Photo News

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL AFTER an eight year hiatus, the two Dubbo Rugby Clubs resumed competition for the muchloved Mark Melville Cup. Mark was a Roos stalwart and one of the founding members and supporters of the fledgling Rhinos. It is fitting that in the history of Dubbo Rugby that he is remembered, nt only for his long playing career, but refereeing seniors and juniors and administration at both club and Zone levels where he is Past President.

Both teams welcomed new players amongst a host of “born and breds” and tore into each other with a passion reserved for local derbies.

The Roos retained the trophy with a five tries to nil result. That was to be expected given the original club finished third in the Blowes Cup First Grade competition last season while the Rhinos compete in the New Holland Cup. Action starts in both senior competitions on Sat when the Roos host Orange City in four grades while The Rhinos are off to play a new look three time premiers Parkes.

Dubbo City “Physie” wraps-up First Term

By GEOFF MANN DUBBO City Physical Culture wrapped-up another productive term of dancing with an outstanding display for parents, grandparents, friends, carers, and supporters, last week.

One of the event organisers, Jen Hunt, said early butterflies were soon dispelled by the young performers as they embraced their routines.

“The girls took to the floor with a few nerves, but were soon dancing like no one was watching, they showed-off the skills learned over the past few months,” Jen said proudly.

“Toes were pointing, arms were swinging, and faces were grinning, as they performed for the audience!” she added.

Jen said after the performance that the event was a real celebration of what is an Australian-based physical rhythm and

movement form colloquially-known as “Physie”.

“Physical Culture is a dance sport that has been around for 160 years, it covers age groups from three to 83 years!

“Physie is all about strength, fitness, flexibility, posture, meeting new people and having fun whilst doing so,” Jen explained.

The sport combines a whole range of dance forms into a unique amalgam that does wonders for the poise and health of thousands of little girls throughout Australia.

“It is a series of dance routines which combine contemporary, rhythmic, jazz, hiphop, ballet, and aerobic dance for age-appropriate groups.

“Physie helps girls with their coordination, brain development, and confidence,” Jen said in describing this unique sport.

FOOTY’S BACK WITH CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE YOUTH KNOCKOUT EVENT

Contributed by BRYSON LUFF THE much-anticipated 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League season got underway last weekend with the annual Youth League and League Tag Knockouts at Coonabarabran on Saturday.

With two fields in action, a combined total of 24 games were played in front of a sizeable crowd which enjoyed the action.

The Binnaway Bomb-

shells gained some degree of revenge for their narrow 2023 Youth League grand final loss to the Narromine Jets, when they over-ran the red and whites in the final to the tune of 24-4, much to the delight of the Binnaway faithful.

In the League Tag, the Dunedoo Swannettes and the Narromine Jets again showed their class by making it to the final and, in another 2023 grand final replay the Jets, after a quality

game, again prevailed with a hard-fought and entertaining 6-0 victory to claim the Knockout Shield.

Attention now swings to the First Grade rugby league knockout next Saturday, which will be hosted by the Coolah Kangaroos in what is their comeback year to the Castlereagh League competition, after being in recess for a number of years.

The first game at Coolah will kick-off at 11am

THE SUNDY BOWLER

Paul hits the big 8-5, and still rolling along!

Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’ PAUL Martin celebrated a special day in the best way possible – rolling-up with 30-odd good friends for a game last week.

Paul teamed-up with Allan Stratford and Bryan O’Sullivan against Mark Morton, Gary Huggins, and John Zeb. The “birthday boys” flew off the mat, charging out to an 11-4 lead, and holding on to win 16-10.

Low-scoring featured when

Ron McCauley, Mel Giddings, and Vicki Hummel, shaped-up to Pete Wise, Ray Strawhan, and Ruby Stockings. It was 8-6 at the break; six each in the second eight, but Ron, Mel, and Vicki ran-out eventual winners, 12-10.

Chris Castlehouse, Rob Pfeiffer, and Gordon Scott, with the help of two lots of five, made a strong statement to lead Sue McCauley, Frank Armstrong, and Pete McKechnie after eight. They blew it out to five by 14, but a tri-

ple-double finish snatched an 18all scoreline. Sue and her team were declared the winners, after taking nine ends to seven in a mighty comeback.

Di Hildebrant was given the task to “swing” for Shirley Marchant and Al Andriske, as well as John Kennedy and Pete Ruzans. She performed the unusual task with aplomb. Shirley and Al raced to a six-shot lead, using a six-shot end to apply the pressure. Another four and a few singles, ensured there

was no comeback with Shirley, Al, and their swinger, scoring third place with their 20-12 victory.

A couple of terriers in Gordon Lummis and Kevin Scott also showed Therese Gaio and Trish Gosper the way, jumping-out by eight after eight. Therese and Trish tried hard, but could not bridge the gap, going down 21-9 to the second placed GK combo.

Any result against and above three shots at an end, is always difficult to recover from, as Mary

Perry, Steve Kelly, and Graham Ross found how tough it is to recover from.

In their game with Sue Armstrong, Ross Pharo, and Phil Knight, Graham saw his hopes of a morale-boosting change of fortunes slipping away. Sue, Ross, with Phil, combined for 10 shots in the first eight, helped by a big five on end five, and piled on 12 more on the way home. In the final wash-up, their 22-7 victory earned the trio first place for the morning.

Narromine featured in new book celebrating country rugby league

By SHARON BONTHUYS

Author Greg Riach with his historical tribute to country rugby league.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

A NEW book about the history of rugby league in western and southern NSW holds a treasure trove of information – and Narromine is included!

Stories from Narromine’s footy history spanning 50 years feature in the new book “Rugby League History: Western and Southern NSW 1920-1976” by Sydney author Greg Riach.

Local rugby league legend, the late Bob Weir, and others who went on to representative honours during Narromine’s golden years, winning the Group 11 premiership six times between 1953 and 1976, find their way into the recently published book.

The Parkes-born author and TAFE teacher grew up playing rugby league at school but turned his attention to hockey, playing and coaching until the age of 31 and gaining the NSW

State Hockey Umpires Badge.

Mr Riach describes his journey to write a book about rugby league as “a labour of love” that began from exploring a relative’s personal connection with the game.

“I researched the rugby league history of my brother-inlaw, Dennis Finn, who played rugby league as a five-eighth in Group XI during the mid-60s through to the mid-70s,” Mr Riach told the Narromine Star. “[Dennis] played for Parkes, Canowindra and represented Group XI and Western Division, and was a gifted footballer who remained in the bush despite offers from Sydney rugby league clubs.

“Once I started delving into the game, it was an eye-opener to find out just how important it was to rural communities and how widespread it was.

Almost every town in Western and Southern NSW had their

own football team.”

Rugby league has been an important part of the social fabric of rural communities including Forbes, Parkes, Eugowra, Oberon, Dubbo Macquarie, Cobar, Narromine, Cootamundra, Temora and more, Mr Riach said.

“I realised I had started a journey which made me feel I was there in the moment,” he added.

“Bob Weir was one of the greatest country rugby league players who was selected to represent Western Division, Country Firsts and NSW teams,” he said, indicating the full stories of Narromine spanning 50 years of country rugby league can be found in his book.

Copies of Mr Riach’s book, “Rugby League History Western and Southern NSW 19201976” are available at The Book Connection.

World’s-best City of Dubbo’s $125,000 International Fours Bowls Tournament

By GEOFF MANN A LAWN bowls fan? Then put the week of September 23-26 in your diary if you want to see some of the world’s best bowlers competing against our local and regional players.

The event is the third instalment of the annual $125,000 Inland Petroleum City of Dubbo International Fours – the richest Fours lawn bowls tournament in the world.

Club Dubbo President, Tony Spiers and Major Sponsor, McCallum Drew McCallum joined forces to launch the event last week.

“Club Dubbo is super-excited to be once again hosting this world significant bowls tournament,” Tony said.

“Elite bowlers from around the world, will descend on Dubbo to compete in this wonderful showcase of high-quality bowls, a mixture of world champions, national champions, State champions, and Commonwealth Games med-

allists, will headline the players lining-up to win a share of the massive $125,000 prize pool,” he smiled.

Organisers expect more than 500 people to come to Dubbo for the week to participate in and watch this great event.

After extremely successful tournaments in 2022 and 2023, there is great excitement at Club Dubbo for what the 2024 edition will provide.

The City of Dubbo International Fours is an important event on the World Bowls calendar and well worth spending some time watching at the West Dubbo complex.

Once again, the event will be live-streamed via You Tube and Facebook, thanks to Bowls NSW. Bowls Manager, Anthony Brown who was runner-up in the State Titles, encourages young and old, experienced and those who might be curious, to have a look at this unique event.

“Come down and watch some

world-class bowls and see what this intriguing game of lawn bowls is all about!” he said.

Drew McCallum explained his business’s support for this event.

“Bowls is becoming a game that attracts many youngsters, as well as people with special challenges,” Drew said.

“We witnessed a World Champions and 30 other bowlers with disabilities in the recent NSW Championships, and have been inspired by their determination and capacity to succeed, in spite of many challenges,” he added.

“It is with huge gratitude, that we acknowledge and thank our wonderful sponsors – Inland Petroleum, Western Plains Automotive, BCIB Insurance Brokers, MRH Disability Services, Akuna Motel, All Seasons Motor Inn and, of course, Club Dubbo,” Tony added.

“Without the generous support of these wonderful businesses, this event could not go ahead,” Club Dubbo Venue Manager Mark Duggan (left), Operation Manager Linton Wilkins (right) with Drew McCullum of Inland Petroleum. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS he concluded.

Bulls blast off for 20th season

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL

NEW coaches Gareth Williams and Alex Richardson-Bell, had the Dubbo Bulls FC primed for the start of a momentous year, guiding their charges to a 6-2 win over last year’s well-performed Macquarie United on Saturday.

The win heralds a new era for the Club with long-serving captain-coach, Scott Fox, taking a step away to enjoy the club’s anniversary season.

The Bulls have developed an enviable record in local and Western competitions over the past two decades but by their own admission, last year was not one of their best. Championship results for the Club over the last 20 years, have included: Western Premier League Champions: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2020 1st Grade Men’s Champions: 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019 2nd Grade Men’s Champions: 2010, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2021 3rd Grade Men’s Champions: 2014, 2017, 2021 Under 18s Champions: 2012 1st Grade Women’s Champions: 2011, 2013, 2014 Forster Viking Challenge Champions: 2005, 2009, 2012 Macquarie United’s new coach, Jamie Lobb, reflecting on the loss, said that the Bulls were strong all over the park.

“Much more committed on the ball,” Jamie observed.

Their strength and commitment, was a bit intimidating for some of our younger players,” he added.

Jamie also pointed-out that the recruitment of former Orana Spurs star, Jake Grady has improved their strike power. Grady netted twice on his debut with the Bulls, while Jay Ncube slotted one home against his former club.

Next week the Spurs have their first hit out against Bathurst 75s while the Bulls have the bye.  RESULT: Dubbo Bulls 6 (Jake Grady 2, Gareth Williams, J Ncube, M Parish, C Elliott 1 each) d MUFC 2 (Sam Head and Mitch Kramer goals) Heath Williams

Too good, MUFC Keeper Blaike Gilholme, couldn’t stop Gareth Williams first goal as Bulls coach.
