Shearer and mental health advocate bags statewide award for her trailblazing work

By DAVID DIXON DOWN-TO-EARTH mental health advocate Carol Mudford was recently honoured with a statewide win in a prestigious country women’s prize.

The registered nurse, shearer and wool-handler from Dubbo came up trumps in the 2025 NSW AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award for her trailblazing work in suicide prevention and mental health awareness within Australia’s shearing industry.

In 2023, Carol founded sHedway, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting positive mental health in shearing sheds across the country.

Drawing on her unique dual experience in healthcare and the wool industry, Ms Mudford recognised the urgent need for culturally relevant, grassroots support services tailored to the challenges faced by shearers and shed workers. “sHedway exists because I believe in the strength of our shearing family. It’s time mental health was prioritised alongside safety and skill,” Ms Mudford said.

“Our mission is to make sure everyone working in the sheds knows how to look after their mental health as well as they look after their shearing gear,” she added.

The AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award is Australia’s leading award

recognising the innovation, leadership and impact of women in rural and regional industries and communities.

With a $15,000 Westpac grant, Carol will expand the reach of sHedway, delivering more mental health support, resources and training directly into shearing sheds, industry events and rural

communities.

She will also undertake a professional development course of her choice. Later this year, she will represent NSW at the AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award Gala Dinner and National Announcement in Canberra, where the National Winner will receive an additional $20,000 grant and the National

Runner-Up will receive $15,000.

In 2024, sHedway delivered 42 events across every mainland state, integrating mental health awareness and suicide prevention into shearing competitions, industry forums and community gatherings.

What began as a simple Facebook page has grown into a na-

tional initiative, reshaping the way rural industries engage with and address mental health, Minister for Women Jodie Harrison said.

“Regional and rural women are some of the smartest and most resilient women I know, and they are unwavering in dedicating their time in supporting their communities to succeed,” Ms Harrison added.

AgriFutures Australia Managing Director John Harvey praised Ms Mudford for her innovative, grassroots approach to mental health advocacy.

“Carol embodies the purpose of the Rural Women’s Award, leading with impact, insight and care.

Her work is saving lives and creating a lasting legacy in the shearing community,” Mr Harvey said.

Westpac Northern NSW Regional General Manager, Regional and Agribusiness, Andy Kidd, said the award plays an essential role in recognising visionary regional leaders who are creating lasting impact in their communities.

“Carol’s dedication to fostering conversations about mental health in regional communities is remarkable. By drawing on her allied health experience to improve support, particularly in the wool industry, she’s proven what’s possible when women are empowered to lead change, and we’re proud to support her journey,” Mr Kidd concluded.

Profile ABBY SCHOFIELD

What does a typical day look like for a florist? No two days are ever quite the same, but most start early, sorting fresh market flowers, then diving into creating arrangements for weddings, events or deliveries.

There’s also the business side: emails, planning installs, and often wrangling my little shop assistant, Remi.

What is your favourite flower? Flannel flowers – without a doubt. There’s something so delicate and distinctly Australian about them. Their soft, velvety petals and gentle beauty always find their way into my favourite arrangements.

How long have you been working as florist? I’ve been running Once & Flor’al by Abby for nearly four years now, but florals have been a part of me since I was a kid making flower crowns and pressing blooms with my grandparents. Floristry was also my first job after finishing school!

Who was your inspiration while growing up? My grandparents were a huge inspiration. Their garden was a world of its own. Full of rambling roses, tangled vines, and wild pockets of colour, it was the kind of place that sparked imagination and wonder. I’d spend hours there, making daisy chains, weaving willow crowns, and pressing flowers between old books. That garden planted the seed for everything I do now.

What advice would you give your teenage self?

Your creativity is a gift – nurture it, trust it, and one day it’ll bloom into something beautiful.

How do flowers make you feel? They have this ability to say things we often can’t put into words. Whether it’s celebrating a new life, love, honouring someone’s passing, or simply brightening a friend’s day – flowers show up in life’s biggest and most tender moments.

They remind us to pause, to feel, to connect.

What are you doing for Mother’s Day? Delivering as many heartfelt bunches as I can fit in my van, no doubt! It’s one of our busiest and most meaningful times of year. There’s something special about helping people express love through flowers. I will be making sure to spoil my mum with her favourite flowers before I put my feet up.

What do you love about our region? There’s a real appreciation for the simple things – good people, beautiful landscapes, and meaningful work. It’s the kind of place where you can grow something special and feel truly supported while doing it. And being surrounded by so much natural beauty definitely helps keep the inspiration flowing.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Hopefully on a little property of our own, with space to grow all the flowers. I’d love to create a beautiful, intimate wedding venue nestled among the blooms. Still working with flowers every day, just with more freedom, more nature, and maybe Remi running the show by then.

What do you enjoy most about this field? Flowers have a way of capturing emotion without saying a word, and being the person who gets to shape that message is something I’ll never take for granted.

Multicultural Harmony Day provides Khaled a sense of pride

By DALLAS REEVES PRIDE is the word that resonates with Khaled Taleb when he discusses the upcoming Multicultural Harmony Day at Dubbo Turf Club on Saturday.

Khaled is the migrant support officer and marketing communications specialist at Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre operating as Connecting Community Services.

Since 2022, Multicultural NSW has funded an event in Dubbo designed to be a vibrant celebration of diversity, inclusion, and community connection, for the Central West.

This year’s event has been named Multicultural Harmony Day 2025: Celebrating Diversity, Uniting Communities.

The event aims to foster inclusion, unity, and mutual respect through a variety of cultural experiences — creating stronger community connections across all backgrounds.

Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Josh Black, member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders, chairperson of Orana Residents of Indian SubContinental Heritage (ORISCON) Gargi Ganguly, Dubbo Regional Council councillor Shibli Chowdhury, and local connector, Dubbo and Wellington for Regional Development Australia Julie Webster are special guests.

“It’s about uniting communities,” Khaled said. “It will provide an exclusive platform for the community

to come together, share their traditions, and celebrate the rich diversity that makes Dubbo and the surrounding regions a vibrant place to live.”

Live cultural performances, international cuisine, family activities and lucky door prizes (for registered attendees) all feature.

Music, traditional dance, artistic displays, interactive workshops, trivia, storytelling, and much more, is on.

Cultures from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Lebanon, and many other nations will be celebrated.

In the previous two years, more than 200 people attended each event. Organisers hope for more this year.

Khaled, originally from Lebanon, moved to Dubbo on May 10, 2014.

The harmony day will mark exactly 11 years of Khaled living in Australia.

He had family in Dubbo so settled here first before moving to Sydney to study (obtaining a master’s degree in business administration with a specialisation in marketing).

In 2018, he was married in Lebanon and then moved straight back to Dubbo.

Khaled now lives in Dubbo with wife Salam and children Amelia (six), Akl (four) and Ali (five months).

He started his current role in 2022.

He has lived the full experience of deciding to settle in Australia and becoming a migrant, which is why this day is so important to him.

“The Multicultural Harmony Day is not just a day, it is a movement,” he said. “It is all about building bridges, breaking down barriers and showing that our strength lies in our diversity.

“I’m thrilled to create a space where all cultures can come together and share the richness that makes Dubbo such a vibrant place.

“Especially, as a migrant myself, there is pride within to arrange this for community.

“Regardless of background, regardless of religion… it’s important to connect with each other.

“I strongly encourage everyone to take advantage of this exciting opportunity, as there is something for everyone to enjoy.”

This family-friendly celebration will take place on Saturday, May 10, from 11am to 3pm.

Entry is free, but for the best experience pre-registration is required to participate in all activities and workshops, and to be entered into the lucky draw.

Please contact Khaled Taleb at Connect Community Services for information on how to register on 0483 330 502 or khaledt@dnc.org. au Also, please see advertisement within Dubbo Photo News for further details.

THE FINAL GIRDER: NEW DUBBO BRIDGE ACHIEVES CONSTRUCTION MILESTONE A MAJOR milestone has been reached on Dubbo’s biggest piece of infrastructure, with the final bridge girder craned into place.

The last of the more than 120 prestressed concrete girders was lifted into place on the western end of the 660-metre-long bridge, where the new structure crosses the Macquarie River downstream from the city.

With the girders installed, crews can continue pouring the concrete to form the bridge deck, installing parapets and streetlights, and laying the road surface to complete the bridge ready for traffic.

During construction, work on the largest infrastructure project in Dubbo is supporting an estimated 290 direct and 1200 indirect jobs, according to Transport for NSW. Once open to traffic, the New Dubbo Bridge is set to transform the way locals, tourists and freight operators travel through Dubbo, by easing con-

gestion, allowing for future growth in north-west Dubbo, and improving access across the Macquarie River, particularly during flood events.

Work began on the bridge – which crosses the Macquarie River and a large portion of the surrounding flood plain – in March 2023.

Following investigation of six strategic options and community consultation, and despite opposition from some people in the city, River Street was announced as the preferred route for the new bridge in May 2017.

The preferred option was chosen to improve freight efficiency on the Newell Highway, reduce traffic congestion, and provide an additional route during flood events.

The $263.2 million project is on track for completion in 2026.

Pictured is the final girder being edged into place, under the guidance of workers at the New Dubbo Bridge site.

Ballot system for this year’s Dubbo Art Fair

By DALLAS REEVES A BALLOT system has been introduced for the 2025 Dubbo Art Fair (DAF) with the intention to provide a more equitable application process, Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) has revealed.

The council’s cultural development co-ordinator Rebecca Walker explained that having around 40 stalls/booths available for artists to exhibit is an optimal number due to space at WPCC. In previous years, a first-in best-dressed system allocated artists with those unsuccessful or applying later left on large wait lists. The application process has changed to a ballot/lottery-type system allocation of exhibiting artists for the 2025 event, the fifth running of the annual DAF. Applications close on Monday, May 12.

Billed as the biggest art fair this side of the Blue Mountains, the 2025 Dubbo Art Fair (DAF) will be held in September at the Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC).

Prospective exhibiting artists must reside in the Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) Local Government Area (LGA) or an LGA that adjoins the DRC. Adjoining LGAs include Warrumbungle, Gilgandra, Narromine, Mid-Western Regional and Cabonne councils.

Providing artists meet entry criteria and apply before deadline, they will go into a draw and the 40 booths will be allocated

randomly.

“We’re aiming for equal opportunity for all applicants whether you apply at the beginning or whether you apply the day before it comes out,” Rebecca told Dubbo Photo News.

“Hopefully these changes allow this to happen.”

Rebecca said a lot of time and thought went into this new strategy.

“We ultimately decided that this was the fairest option for everybody,” she said.

“It’s a bit more even… a bit more equal and… it provides opportunities for people who may

be a little bit hesitant or unsure (to apply).”

DAF is about and for local artists that DRC wanted to grow and uplift.

Stall sites are free. Professional development and assistance with curation and installation of stalls is provided.

Artists also get the chance to interact within their own community.

“Artists appreciate the opportunity this provides for them. Not only to be able to market and sell their at directly to the public, but also build their brand,” Rebecca said.

Necessity, opportunity and helping artists were the reasons this event began, Rebecca said.

Council’s Shaping Plans to Advance Regional Culture (SPARC) plan aims to help cultural organisations and individuals to initiate and develop projects that support regional creative diversity, innovation and growth.

“Often art fairs are metropolitan based, not so much regional areas,” Rebecca said. “We have a great positioning here in Dubbo… and a real thirst for people to engage in the arts sector.”

In 2024, around 1500 people attended DAF and artists collectively sold more than $60,000 worth of art.

Aside from interstate travellers traversing Australia, day- and weekend-trippers from Bathurst, Orange, and the Blue Mountains attend alongside many local art enthusiasts.

“The more people we can reach, the better the outcome is for local artists,” Rebecca said.

The exhibition will be open to the community on September 13 and 14 after an official opening the night before.

Former Dubbo man helps raise $34,000 for Beyond Blue A FORMER Dubbo resident that now has a senior management role with Life Pharmacy Group (LPG) has helped The Cavaliers take out highest fundraising honours at a well-known car rally recently.

Warwick Marx recently completed the 10th annual Beyond Bitumen Rally, raising funds and awareness for Beyond Blue.

Heavy rain and challenging conditions didn’t deter The Cavaliers, which includes LPG chief executive officer Michael Flannery and chief operating officer Warwick.

The Cavaliers raised more than $34,000 for the charity this year, taking out the highest fundraising honours for an individual participating car.

Mr Flannery is originally from Forbes, to add to the Central West flavour, while LPG has been operating pharmacies in regional NSW and the Australian Capital Territory for more than 70 years.

The Beyond Bitumen Rally entourage of 72 vehicles travelled almost 2000 kilometres from Taree to Port Stephens via Grafton and Armidale from March 27 to 31.

“We’ve been taking part in the Beyond Bitumen Rally for seven years now,” Mr Flannery said. “It all started

after a mate of mine shared his mental health battles and the role Beyond Blue played in supporting him during his darkest times. It didn’t take us long to find ourselves a

car and The Cavaliers was formed.”

Men are three times more likely to take their lives in Australia according to statistics from Beyond Blue, while

remoteness is a major contributing factor.

Growing up in regional Australia, The Cavaliers understand the importance of checking in on friends and seeking the appropriate support.

“Most of us grew up in the bush and this rally is a great opportunity to hit the road with our mates, see parts of the country we may not have experienced previously, support communities along the way, and raise money for Beyond Blue,” Mr Flannery said.

“Our industry peers have always been very supportive and, without them, we wouldn’t have reached our fundraising target. Thank you to our major sponsors Life Pharmacy Group, Chemists’ Own of the DBG Health Group, and the Independent Pharmacies of Australia Group.

“As a team we’re very proud to have raised more than $200,000 for the rally over the past seven years, and we’re thankful for the support we’ve received from our colleagues, friends, and families along the way.”

Since its inception, the Beyond Bitumen Rally has raised more than $3.5 million for charity.

ORANA MALL

Retailer Week OF THE

Beautiful burgundy is the tone of winter 2025 at Ally Fashion B

urgundy is the shade of the season for the coming winter, Ally Fashion Store Manager Sophie Norris has revealed to Dubbo Photo News.

“This year, it’s not so much a ‘look’, as a certain colour that has become really popular,” Ally said.

“Anything that is burgundy or maroon is rushing off the shelves, we’re getting in a lot of that,” she added.

Casual wear, she explained, are also big sellers as we enjoy an Indian summer in the Central West before the onset of the colder months.

“We have our ‘graphic tees’ (t-shirts) and ‘sports tees’, they’re big sellers right now.

“But we’re also now getting our

winter stock in – jumpers, pants, jackets, a lot of basics, and shortsleeved couplets,” Sophie explained.

Rather than focussing on one age for shoppers, Ally Fashion uniquely caters for ladies of all demographics.

“It’s women’s fashion brands from ‘tweens’ (9- to 12-year-olds) to more mature women, we have something for everyone.”

Sophie and her friendly crew, she adds, are always keen to help shoppers choose that right item or ensemble for that special occasion.

“We do have a lot of return customers, a lot of the same people come back to the store and we know them.

“We always try to help out customers with that outfit they’re

looking for – a style or look, something for that big event, and accessories to go with it,” Sophie said.

For the budget-conscious in these tough times, Ally Fashion also has a range of regular and one-off discounts for their loyal customers.

“So, we have our core specials and deals – if you buy two of a certain item, there’s a discount on the second item, say $16 for one item, and two for $25 – anything up to 60 per cent on some clothes,” Sophie said.

“We also have a sale rack at the back of the store of one-off discounts, discontinued lines or a style coming out of season. Drop in and give us a look!”

You’ll discover style for every woman and friendly service at Ally Fashion in the Orana Mall. Pictured are Ebony Flannery and Sophie Norris.

A HILTON FOR MOGGIES AND DOGGIES AS NEW ANIMAL SHELTER OPENS REGIONAL COUNCIL UPDATE

By DAVID DIXON STATE-OF-THE-ART facilities will now better serve our lost, abandoned, and impounded pets after recent opening of the new Dubbo Regional Animal Shelter.

Following 10 months of painstaking construction, the moggy and pooch home-away-fromhome features 100 dog pens – including isolation and dangerous dog areas – as well as enclosures for 50 cats.

The shelter has been built to safely contain and control transmissible diseases, Dubbo Mayor Councillor Josh Black said.

“It’s one thing to see this shelter in its design phase, but to be standing next to the fully-realised building is something else,” our excited local leader said. “It is an incredibly impressive piece of infrastructure and is really classleading in terms of NSW animal facilities.”

A community open day will also be held for the public on Saturday, May 17, from 10am–2pm.

Indigenous-only names – or alternative – for new bridge A HIGH-PROFILE petition from a well-known local family is seeking to overturn recent history where almost all new government infrastructure, seems to be the recipient of Indigenous names.

With a major milestone reached on Dubbo’s biggest project, with the final bridge girder craned into place for the new Macquarie River crossing, what to call it is again in

focus with the community offered four short-listed Wiradjuri names.

For the record, names selected by a panel of local First Nations representatives, were • Wambuul, “Macquarie River” • Nguluway, meaning “meeting each other” • Bunglegumbie, one of the clans of Dubbo • Aunty Pearl Gibbs, an Aboriginal activist and leader.

However, the recently-finished community consultation also offered locals the opportunity to “suggest an alternative bridge name that demonstrates a con-

nection to the location, but is not necessarily Aboriginal in origin”.

The petition and recent news stories, have urged locals to support another option, naming the $263.2 million structure after local philanthropist, founder of the local Agricultural Society, and the individual who was also central to bringing tap water and gas power to Dubbo, local pioneer James Samuels.

Crystals, Creatives & Mystics

BRING MUM TO THE FAIR!

The Dubbo RSL Crystals, Creatives & Mystics Mother’s Day Fair this weekend is much more than just a fantastic and fun event for the whole family to enjoy.

For organisers and creators — Danielle Mancini, Simone Dennis, Liz Meredith, and Elouise Spicer — it’s also a way of helping creatives offering amazing one-off crafts and services to thrive.

The four ladies are all unique artisans of amazing craft creations you can’t get anywhere else.

“I actually hand-craft Italian sterling silver into amazing jewellery,” Danielle revealed. “Simone does incredible wire-wrapping and resin flower jewellery; Liz, enchanting opal and crystal jewellery; and Elouise, completely different, crystal terrariums with ‘air plants’ (Tillandsia) from Mexico,” she added.

Their incredible collaboration came about following the isolation and solitude many suffered during the pandemic, Danielle explained.

“We’ve been doing this for almost three years; people weren’t gathering in public, and we hit upon the idea of a collaboration where we could all travel together.

“That’s why we started, we’re all artists, and customers remember and appreciate it, it’s also a good way for those running small businesses to grow,” Danielle explained.

The ladies are also offering something special for Mum on her big day.

“Why not pop-in for a unique gift, then use your stamp for return entry on Sunday and bring Mum along for a fun day out. Also, the first 100 mums through the door on Sunday, will also receive a crystal gift,” Danielle said.

Unique stalls and traders from all over NSW will include crystals, artists, jewellery, gems and

fossils, candles, healers, psychics, mediums, crystal terrariums and workshops, natural body products, ayurvedic healing and spiritual products, henna tattoos, kids face-painting, and craft workshops.

“We also have more than $1000 worth of lucky door prizes to be won throughout the weekend, and a $500 Mother’s Day Hamper to be drawn at 4pm Sunday.”

Highlights include crystals and gemstones, Danielle said.

“Indulge in a stunning array of crystals and gemstones from top dealers in the region. Learn how these gems can enhance your well-being and vitality; from opals to fossils, we’ve got it all!”

Creatives and artisans will also feature at the fair with unique jewellery, candles, artworks, and more.

Also, explore holistic therapies like Reiki, chakra healing, sound healing, and crystal healing from experienced practitioners.

Psychic and Tarot Readings offer insightful guidance from skilled psychics and tarot readers to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your path.

Exciting workshops will include how to create your own terrariums, crystal trees, wind chimes, and bracelets.

There is also a free kids quiz where you can let your little ones participate in a fun session on gems, minerals, and the world around us.

“They’ll receive a crystal upon completion,” Danielle said.

“We can’t wait to see you at Dubbo RSL this weekend from 10am–5pm,” she said of the fair which runs on Saturday and Sunday, May 10 and 11.

Tickets are only $5, with children under 16 free.

For stall inquiries or more information, call 0414 520 314.

Bring out your rubbish!

Garbage pick-up trial extended COUNCIL is extending the trial of the pre-booked bulky rubbish collection service until the end of June next year. This follows a decision at the April Ordinary

Council meeting to give the pilot scheme another year.

“The pre-booked bulky rubbish collection service provides residents with the flexibility to book the service throughout the year,” Mayor Cr Josh Black said.

“During the trial, the prebooked service has been relatively well utilised and positively received by residents who used the service.

The extension of the service would allow council to be able to collect and compare the data from the service year on year,” he concluded.

‘Living week-to-week’: doctors struggle to stay rural

By STEPHANIE GARDINER AFTER the cost of daycare fees, rent, electricity and grocery bills, a young rural doctor only just gets by.

“I’m full-time to make ends meet and... I am living week-to-week,” the NSW intern, who did not want to be named, told AAP. “That’s not something I thought about when I was going through med school.”

The mother-of-three is passionate about caring for rural people, but the average pay in the bush, severe understaffing and long hours don’t make it an easy career choice.

“I’m away from my kids,” she said.

“I often leave before they get up and then I’m back when they’ve gone to bed, so I’ve missed their entire day.”

Financial incentives to recruit and retain medicos in the bush has been identified as a top priority by Australia’s rural doctors, alongside providing better access to childcare and support for

their families.

The Australian Medical Association’s Rural Health Issues survey found better funding for country hospitals to bolster staffing levels was the number one issue.

Maternity funding, better access to specialists and pay parity for rural GPs-intraining were in the top 10 priorities ranked by the 561 rural doctors who responded to the survey in February.

AMA president Danielle McMullen said rural health policies announced by both parties during the federal election campaign were promising, but came after prolonged underinvestment.

“It is high time our governments stop placing rural and remote Australia in the too hard basket,” Dr McMullen said in a statement.

Rural communities generally have poorer access to healthcare, with 205 fulltime medical practitioners per 100,000 people in remote areas in 2022, according to data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

That’s less than half of the number of doctors per 100,000 people in the major cities.

Childcare and employment opportunities for rural doctors’ spouses were new additions to the survey, which was last conducted in 2022.

Research has long shown that rural doctors are far more likely to stay in a country town if their partner can find work and also a sense of community.

Lack of early education options are also a deterrent for doctors and their families to move to rural and remote areas, where one million people live without childcare services.

The AMA, along with other medical bodies, has called for targeted childcare services for medical staff, including building onsite centres at hospitals or clinics. “(That ensures) families can live and work without compromising their professional and personal lives,” the survey report said.

Research shows rural doctors are more likely to stay in country towns if partners can find work.

Show time is getting closer in Dubbo and more volunteers are needed

By DALLAS REEVES SHOW time is nearing in Dubbo.

That means hard-working volunteers are starting another year of preparations, and they need more help.

The 2025 Regional Australia Bank Dubbo Show is on May 30 and 31 and June 1, but for the 700 volunteers who put together the show annually, the work has already began.

“The Show Society is always looking for more volunteers... our youth is the future of this proud tradition,” Dubbo Show Society Secretary Sue Hood said via the society’s website. “Without the support and assistance from these wonderful people, the show would not go ahead.”

Debrah Davis has been the chief steward of the pavilion at the Dubbo Show for around eight years, enjoying giving back to community.

She also leads the pavilion committee for the Dubbo Show Society and is on the general committee.

Debrah started volunteering in 2011 in the jams and preserves section (Section T 2).

Debrah said one simple but key task young people could assist with is setting up fixed -tand and

stepped-stand entries in the pavilion. It’s a job that requires athleticism and climbing skills.

“We would like some younger people coming in and taking on the reins. We’re quite happy to

Red hats ready for fun and friendship

The Dubbo Chapter of the Red Hat Society. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS.

By LANA EATHER THE Red Hat Society is a unique women’s group that began in America in 1998, inspired by a 50-something birthday party and a poem that encourages women to age with a sense of humour.

In a moment of fun and in the search for the perfect present for a friend, Sue Ellen Cooper bought a red hat as her gift. Not long after, a group of red hatwearing ladies started getting together on a regular basis to promote their passion for fun, friendship, fitness, the freedom to express themselves in positive ways, and a dedication to the fulfilment of lifelong dreams.

Members of the Red Hat Society – who call the group a ‘dis-organisation’ – are instantly recognisable with their

purple outfits, red hats and accessories, inspired by the poem ‘Warning’ by Jenny Joseph which includes these lines.

“When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, “With a red hat which doesn’t go, And doesn’t suit me.

“On brandy and summer gloves, And satin sandals.

“And say I have no money for butter.”

In the 25-plus years since, the society has amassed 35,000 members worldwide, including in Australia where there are more than 30 ‘chapters’. One of those chapters is here in Dubbo.

The Dubbo Chapter of the Red Hat Society meets each Monday for lunch and fun with a monthly birthday gettogether. The group delights in having no rules, and most importantly having fun!

coach and educate along the way,” Debrah said.

“We do try to have more (people) than we need so that everybody doesn’t have to do so much at a time. If people can come in and do two hours or three hours… that’s great.

“The benefits are what you get out of working with a group of people that are all trying to make the Dubbo Show something that people want to come and see.”

Debrah has around 65 volunteers on the Wednesday and Thursday before the three-day show.

Karen McGuire has been the coordinator of Section S (flowers) at the Dubbo Show for six years.

Her section has around six volunteers, but an optimal number would be 10.

Karen explained they can take up to 500 entries in a three-hour period on the Thursday evening before the show.

“It’s quite hectic,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “But it’s also quite enjoyable… and it’s great to help the community.”

Flower entries must be submitted manually as people cannot enter until the day due to the vagaries of growing flowers and plants.

Karen has been volunteering at

the show for nine years.

Her interest was piqued when she grew roses for Dubbo cemetery.

She looked at show entries, felt hers were comparable, and grew the courage to enter.

When she first entered, she could see how busy the volunteers were and offered to help the next year.

Around two weeks before the show, racks, shelving and show cabinets are placed out before the cleaning commences.

“We need some young blood to help out as younger people have great new ideas, which we always need,” Karen said. “If we had 20 people give one hour on our cleaning day, it would knock it down to nothing. Every hour helps.”

Additionally, there are many other sections needing some help with volunteers and these include the men and women that help with the broader showground set up.

Potential new volunteers can contact the Dubbo Show Society office, where Secretary Sue Hood can co-ordinate with relevant section co-ordinators to evaluate where new help can be best utilised.

Due to the success of the inaugural event, the Dachshund Dash is likely here to stay with a plan for two race meetings per year. The next is planned for the October long weekend.

NOT all danger for our bushfire fighters, comes from flames, heat, and smoke.

A total of 25 emergency service members, including six members of the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), have been inscribed on the National Emergency Services Memorial in recognition of their ultimate sacrifice while protecting the community.

Commissioner of the RFS Rob Rogers joined families, dignitaries, and fellow emergency personnel in Canberra this morning as the names of six RFS members were added to the memorial.

“The service of Charles Murphy, David Edwards, Jefferay Maher, Scott Molloy, Shane Thomas, and Russell Hoyle, who died as a result of illnesses associated with their work, will never be forgotten,” Rogers said.

“Each of these individuals embodied the very best of our service – courage, compassion and an enduring sense of duty,” he added.

“These medallions, like the memorial itself, are a symbol of our gratitude and respect,” Commissioner Rogers said.

“They represent the selflessness of those who risk everything to help others and the deep loss felt by their families, friends, and fellow RFS members.”

Minister for Emergency Services Jihad Dib said the memorial, located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, bears the

names of over 500 emergency service personnel from across Australia and New Zealand.

“This memorial stands as a powerful reminder of their courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to protecting others,” Minister Dib said.

NEW HEAVY VEHICLE SAFETY STATION OPENS AT BALLIMORE

By DAVID DIXON MAKING our roads safer on a key freight route, a new Heavy Vehicle Safety Station (HVSS) has opened on the Golden Highway in the Central West between Dubbo and Dunedoo.

The new safety station, located about 5.5 kilometres east of Ballimore, was funded by the Australian and NSW Governments and is operated by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) as part of their heavy vehicle compliance program.

Transport for NSW Executive Director Road Safety Regulation Duncan Lucas said the new station would enforce heavy vehicle safety regulations, reducing overloading, fatigue-related crashes, and the risk of non-compliant vehicles travelling to Dubbo.

“Work on the new safety station started in May 2023 and following some construction delays due to waterlogged ground from flooding and complications in accessing and installing some of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) components, the station is now operational,” Mr Lucas said.

“The NHVR uses the network of Heavy Vehicle Safety Stations to intercept and inspect heavy vehicles which may be operating illegally or in an unsafe manner on NSW roads and may pose significant risk to road users, the road infrastructure and the environment.

The new facility at Ballimore is the 10th HVSS in NSW designed to improve safety for all motorists travelling long distances on roads and highways across regional NSW. With the Ballimore HVSS now operational, all heavy vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) greater than 4.5 tonnes travelling on the

A new Heavy Vehicle Safety Station (HVSS) has opened between Dubbo and Dunedoo. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

Golden Highway will be required to enter the HVSS when directed to ensure the vehicle meets safety and roadworthiness standards and the driver is complying with road transport laws.

NHVR Chief Operations Officer Paul Salvati said HVSS operating hours and staffing levels vary to match road traffic flow patterns.

“At peak times, including weekends and public holidays, Heavy Vehicle Safety Stations can operate up to 24 hours a day,” Mr Salvati said.

“HVSS sites are fitted with safety software which can quickly determine a heavy vehicle’s registration status and defect status, while also accessing Safe-T-Cam sightings that along with the driver’s work diary, can assist with monitoring driver fatigue,” he added.

The Ballimore HVSS will be operated by NHVR Safety and Compliance Officers already based in Dubbo, with support from other NHVR teams during peak periods as needed, he concluded.

SCOREBOARD PROGRAM BRINGS NEW ART TO WPCC ENTRANCE

& Thumps Up and thank-you to the young man and his son who, seeing I was having trouble with a stray dog following me and my dog on a walk on Sunday, stopped and helped me. I hope you were able to find his owner.

PARTNERSHIPS and connections within the Dubbo community have been highlighted via a new artwork installed at the entrance to the Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC).

The artwork is part of the WPCC’s scoreboard program.

The program was initially conceived to provide local artists and community groups who were unable to secure or provide an exhibition at the WPCC an opportunity to display their art at the centre in a public art style.

Dubbo Regional Council education officer Rebecca Walker said the art was installed at the entrance to the centre on three large weatherproof boards that had been provided blank to the selected artist.

“It also has the added benefit of providing an engaging first impression to visitors of the WPCC, which we hope then encourages them to enter to see other exhibitions in the spaces inside,” Mrs Walker said.

The latest scoreboard program aimed to connect disengaged young males in the Dubbo region, who were also involved in the Boys to the Bush mentorship program, with local Indigenous artist Hayden Wood.

“Through the use of art, the pro-

gram has allowed them to connect to culture, an artistic male mentor and one another.

“The collaborative work will be displayed at the WPCC, providing an additional connection to community while assisting these young men to understand that their artistic pursuits are a valuable way to connect to others, themselves, their emotions and their past and future through art,” Mrs Walker said.

The scoreboard program will be a yearly opportunity through the WPCC to connect local artists with groups seeking to create artworks that provide a means of social connection, inspiration, mental health support or the accompaniment to social outreach and education within the Dubbo region.

Groups will be selected via a panel and connected with artists in the community on a case-by-case basis to best match them depending on their unique needs.

Expressions of interest for next year will open in September.

The program is supported through Create NSW and is developed through the Dubbo Regional Council’s Cultural Plan.

Building approvals strengthen as “faux” housing boom continues While Aussie builders are seemingly doing their best to help overcome our chronic new home shortage, a boost to new housing construction in the first quarter of 2025 is not all it seems, the Housing Industry Association has found.

hile Aussie builders are seemingly doing their best to help overcome our chronic new house shortage, a boost to new housing construction in the first quarter of 2025 is not all it seems, the Housing Industry Association (HIA) has found.

This follows the Australian Bureau of Statistics just releasing its monthly building approvals data for March 2025 for detached houses and multi-units covering all states and territories.

“There were 48,620 new homes approved for construction in the first quarter of 2025, up by 20.8 per cent on a year earlier,” HIA Senior Economist Tom Devitt observed.

SUNSET STROLLS TO THE RIVER, TOGETHER.

“Much of the improvement over the last year has come from multi-unit approvals, which were up by 52.6 per cent on the very low levels a year earlier, while detached approvals are up by a more modest 4.2 per cent,” Mr Devitt said.

He added that it is also important to remember that many recent apartment approvals are likely to be ‘faux’ approvals.

“Despite the improving numbers over the last year, building approvals are still running at around 180,000 per year, well short of what is required to commence 1.2 million homes over five years,” he added.

“A change in market conditions have meant that a number of apartment projects that were already approved for construction, will need to seek re-approv-

al and comply with the new construction code.”

million new homes over five years.

“As it stands, the government is set to fall almost 20 per cent short of its own target and a few interest rate cuts from the RBA won’t be sufficient to increase the supply of homes to meet the 1.2 million target,” Mr Devitt concluded.

The higher cost of construction, he said, will further impair sales volumes.

“There are a very large number of apartments approved for construction across capital cities, but only a small number of these will commence construction,” Mr Devitt said.

“Punitive taxes that effectively exclude certain investors from the market add further time and difficulty in finding buyers for new apartments, even after they have been approved.”

Multi-unit activity needs to be twice as large as recent levels for the Australian government to achieve its target of 1.2

Home building approvals in the March quarter 2025, in seasonally adjusted terms, were up by 49.4 per cent in South Australia, followed by Western Australia (+27.3 per cent), New South Wales (+25.8 per cent), Victoria (+22.1 per cent) and Queensland (+0.8 per cent), while Tasmania was down by 12.9 per cent. In original terms, the Northern Territory was up by 81.5 per cent and the Australian Capital Territory was up by 43.8 per cent.

In an era of soaring property prices, many find their homeownership dreams drifting out of reach. Here are some strategies which may assist you: 1. Reevaluate Priorities: Consider sacrificing certain property features to meet affordability thresholds. Flexibility now may pave the way for future upgrades.

2. Explore Adjacent Areas: “Bridesmaid suburbs,” neighbouring regions with similar amenities but lower prices, offer viable alternatives to sought-after neighbourhoods.

3. Consider Rent-vesting: Buy in affordable locales while renting in desired areas. This hybrid approach can provide both property ownership and lifestyle preferences.

4. Innovate Solutions: Think creatively about alternative paths to home ownership, such as investing in promising but undervalued neighbourhoods or pursuing additional income streams.

5. Seek Supplementary Income: Exploring a second job or seeking higher earnings can bridge the financial gap. Other possibilities may include purchasing with a friend or family member or seeking options for government concessions or grants.

By adapting to market realities and adopting innovative strategies, homeownership goals can still be within reach despite formidable market conditions.

orty of our best and brightest educational institutions are all taking part in the Boarding Schools Expo Australia being held at Dubbo Regional Theatre & Convention Centre (DRTCC) on Friday and Saturday, May 16 and 17.

With such a huge range of private and public, city and country-based, single-sex and co-educational schools to choose from, what factors should parents consider when deciding what’s the best fit for themselves and their child?

According to the “‘Choosing a Boarding School” checklist created by the Boarding Schools Expo organisers, values, academic standards, extracurricular activities, location and boarding facilities are often top of parents' lists.

On “School Policies and Values”, do the school’s values fit with those of your family? Does the school offer counselling and support services to students, does the school’s religious affiliation match your family’s beliefs, and does the school have an anti-bullying policy or other programs to ensure the safety of your child?

On the ever-important issue of “Academic Standards”, does the curriculum offer everything your child wants to pursue, does the streaming or grading of classes suit your child’s academic needs, will the technology available meet your expectations, and are you happy with the assessment and reporting processes?

“Extra-Curricular Activities” is one area where schools can vary greatly – and personal preference can play a crucial role in decision-making.

For instance, ask yourself, does the school cater for your child’s preferred extra-curricular activities in areas like

sport and music, is there an extensive range of summer and winter sporting activities to choose from, would you be happy with the travel and supervision arrangements for weekend sporting commitments, and, just as importantly, if your child’s preferred activity is not catered for, can he or she pursue that activity outside the school? How will the logistics be worked out?

“Location and Access” also play a vital role in practical decision-making about what is the best fit for you, your family and your boarding child.

Is the school close to public transport for sporting activities and other outings, is the school easy to visit as a family or for family and friends who may take your child out for the weekend, what is the proximity to a sibling’s school for ease of weekend visits, and are there other facilities close by that the school uses for after-school and weekend outings?

“Parental Communication and Involvement” is essential for any parent seeking to ensure that they are satisfied with the way the school communicates with students and parents.

Would you be comfortable with the regularity of contact with your child, does your child have access to a mobile phone to contact each other, and are there suitable opportunities for you to be involved in the school as a parent?

“Boarding Facilities” covers areas like, will your child be comfortable in the school’s boarding facilities, is the level of supervision in keeping with your expectations, and are there enough support services to meet your child’s needs, including tutors, medical care and counsellors?

A GLOBAL SISTERHOOD

LEARN MORE kambala.nsw.edu.au

REAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT BOARDING SCHOOL: A SAFE SPACE FOR QUESTIONS, HOPES AND HONEST ADVICE When it comes to sending your child to boarding school, no two families share exactly the same story — but they do share the same questions, hopes and sometimes, doubts. That’s why we’ve created a live and interactive panel discussion format that gives rural, regional and remote (RRR) families the chance to listen, learn and connect with others navigating the same journey.

Whether you’re still considering your boarding school options or already deep into the experience, these sessions are designed to meet you where you’re at.

The discussions are guided by thoughtful host prompts, drawn from real conversations with parents who’ve done it before. From financial planning and hidden costs to letting go emotionally and staying connected across distance — no topic is off limits. You’ll hear about government assistance, ICPA, scholarships & bursaries, family budgeting strategies, and the little expenses no one tells you about until you're in the thick of it.

Equally important are the personal stories.

What’s it really like to let your child go? How do families cope in those first few weeks of quiet at home? What helps teenagers stay emotionally well, and how do parents build trusting partnerships with schools?

For prospective boarding families, the sessions also provide a space to talk about dreams for your child’s future, hopes for resilience and independence, and the very real concerns — from homesickness to communication gaps.

For current families, it’s a chance to reflect, support others, and pick up new strategies that may make the journey easier.

Each session is informal, interactive and deeply human. It’s not about a slick presentation or a long list of dot points — it’s about meeting other parents where they are and having real conversations about what boarding is actually like.

Join us — and bring your questions.

May the 4th Be With You – Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee

By KEN SMITH For fans of the George Lucas series of films and TV shows, May 4 each year has become “Star Wars Day: May the 4th Be With You”.

The Empire smiled and the galaxies aligned on the first Sunday in May at Dubbo Classic Cars & Coffee with an epic lineup of cars and bikes in Victoria Park.

With a very large crowd enjoying the near perfect weather, and a larger than usual number and variety of classic cars and bikes on show, including the Star Wars showpiece with Tony and Rodney in full costume, it was obvious that the Force was well pleased.

Because that’s what facts do. They get in the way of wild theories, sensational headlines, and stories that are just too good to be true. And that’s the point.

Real journalism isn’t about chasing clicks or stirring outrage.

It’s about accountability. It’s about getting the story right, not just being the first to talk about it.

It’s about knowing your community and knowing what matters most.

Because when the truth matters, shortcuts don’t cut it.

We believe facts make stories stronger, not weaker.

That’s why everything we publish is grounded in independence, integrity and an unwavering commitment to accuracy and the community we are part of.

Truth isn’t a single person’s point of view.

It’s a responsibility. And it’s one we take seriously.

Trust journalism to deliver you the truth.

TIME WARP

PIONEERING AUSTRALIAN ESTABLISHED WORLD’SS FIRST AIR AMBULANCE WORLD

By DAVID DIXON THE anniversary on the death of one of Australia’s greatest visionary pioneers – John ‘Flynn of the Inland’ – highlights the vital work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) for nearly a century.

Now the world’s greatest air medical service, establishing the RFDS to overcome the tyranny of distance to provide medical care for Australia’s vast sparsely-populated inland was the life work of Presbyterian missionary John Flynn.

At the time of Federation, fewer than 100,000 people lived in the Australian inland, with every outback cattle station and Aboriginal mission fearing injury or illness with no chance of medical care within reach.

One typical incident involved a young station worker with a ruptured spleen, taken to the local bush hotel in north-west Queensland, with the publican attempting to save his life by operating with a kitchen blade via instructions from a doctor on a two-way radio in Brisbane, hundreds of kilometres away.

Always thinking of the needs of those in isolated communities, in September, 1910, Flynn published ‘The Bushman’s Companion’ which was distributed free throughout inland Australia.

By 1912, after writing a report for his church superiors on the difficulties of ministering to such a widely-scattered population, Flynn was made the first superintendent of the Australian Inland Mission.

Flynn’s vision was to establish a ‘Mantle of Safety’ for the people of Outback Australia. As well as tending to spiritual matters, Flynn quickly established the need for medical care for residents and helped set up a number of bush hospitals.

John Flynn died in Sydney on May 5, 1951, aged 70. He was cremated and his remains were placed under a large boulder from the Devil’s Marbles near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. Insetg, John Flynn, right, and George Towns, a radio expert, ready to leave Adelaide in 1925 to make experimental broadcasts from the Outback. Their aim was to confirm the feasibility of long-distance radio communications which would keep isolated communities connected to each other. PHOTOS: SHUTTERSTOCK; SUPPLIED.

By 1917, Flynn was already considering the possibility of new technology, such as radio and aircraft, to assist in providing a more useful acute-medical service. This was at a time he received a letter from an Australian pilot serving in World War I, Clifford Peel, who had heard of Flynn’s speculations and outlined the capabilities and costs of then-

available planes.

Peel suggested the use of aviation to bring medical help to the Outback. He wrote an essay on the possibility of using planes as flying medical ambulances for Australians in isolated and remote locations. This material was published in the church’s magazine, with Flynn then turning his considerable fund-raising talents

to the task of establishing a flying medical service.

The world’s first air ambulance and Australia’s inaugural flying doctor service was established in May, 1928, at Cloncurry in Queensland, from a transmitter located in the vestry of a church.

In its first year, the Qantas DH50 plane carrying Dr KH Vincent Welch flew 32,000km and at-

tended to 255 patients.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service grew rapidly with bases in NSW, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.

Nowadays, it is still the only medical help available for a full two-thirds of the continent and assists about 250,000 people per year, an average of one new patient every two minutes.

by JoAnn Derson z There’s been a lot of talk at my house about kitchen gadgets that do double duty, especially since I have made whipped cream for the first time – in my coffeemaker!

Fly in the footie ointment: call-out to help solve Peter McDonald Cup referee shortage

By GEOFF MANN DESPITE a successful start to the new season in Western Rugby League, a dark shadow is looming.

The Chair of the Peter McDonald Premiership Bob Walsh says a severe shortage of referees across the western region has led to the reluctant adoption of a “Plan B”.

“We need to supply refs across the PMP, Woodbridge Cup, and Castlereagh League, as well as numerous local junior competitions and it has left the cupboard very bare,” Walsh said. In fact, it is so tough that organisers were having to consider dropping a grade for at least one round because “we don’t have enough officials!”

In one instance early in the new season, one referee was rostered for two days on Saturday in Bathurst and backed up for two more in Orange on Sunday. Bob says it is just not sustainable.

Prior to last weekend, he said they were unlikely to have enough for the full competition to continue.

“We do not have enough referees to cover Juniors, Reserves,

First Grade, and League Tag at all grounds,” he revealed.

It is extremely concerning, and Bob says the Board of Management has to make a decision based on which grade is not covered at a particular ground.

“Depending on which grade does not have a referee, that particular division will not be played at any of the grounds.

“That means if may be Juniors or Reserve Grade who miss out for that particular round. All clubs will have a bye.”

Bob says the board is working on alternative strategies.

“NSWRL and Western Rams have introduced a program so that people who just want to help out can become a volunteer community referee.

“They will still undertake full training and will have the support of association members but will not have to join either group as such,” Bob said.

Anyone wishing to participate in the Community Referees Program can contact Western Rams or NSWRL via the relevant Facebook pages.

Roos off to a flying start ahead of home ground opener and Ladies Day THE Dubbo Kangaroos have hit the ground running in the 2025 Central West Rugby Un-ion Blowes Cup Men’s 1st Grade competition, topping the ladder after three rounds and building momentum ahead of their first home game this Saturday, May 10.

Club Chaplain and Social Registrar Barti praised the hard work and commitment shown by all grades

so far.

“It is great to see the way all the players are striving to raise the great Roo banner,” he said. “All the hard work this season is paying off.”

The 1st Grade Roos remain undefeated so far this season with wins over Bathurst Bull-dogs on April 12, Orange City Lions on April 26, and last Saturday, May 3, the Roos over-came

a determined Orange Emus side, edging out a 19-14 victory.

These results see Dubbo sitting on top of the ladder with three wins from three matches and a total of 14 competition points.

They lead Orange Emus (11 points), Cowra Eagles (10), and Orange City Lions (9).

In other 1st Grade Round 3 results on Saturday, Forbes Platypi 17 were de-

Barti reminded players and supporters alike, “Remember you lot, Sunday, May 11, is Mother’s Day! How about some perfume and breakfast in bed?”

While the club’s second grade team has yet to find

consistent winning form, Barti re-mains optimistic.

“When you see them at training and the way they are working on their combinations, I am certain it won’t be long until we see them again in the winner’s circle.”

Supporters who haven’t already done so are encouraged to sign up for the club’s Old Boy or Social membership program.

Mark crowned ‘Donut King’ at May 4 Dubbo Ducks meet

By JUDY WALSH MARK Prentice was certainly the ‘Donut King’ at the latest Dubbo Duck swimming club meet on Sunday after claiming the monthly May trophy race sponsored by the popular sweet treat company.

He swam just 0.06 off his time in the heats of the 25-metre Freestyle. That was only the beginning – he went on to win the remaining three events.

Mark hit the wall first in the final of 50-metre Breaststroke ahead of club stalwarts Norm Bahr, Mark Scullard, Nicole Johnstone and Ted Salcole.

In the closest to time 25-metre Backstroke, he timed his swim perfectly and was a mere 0.09 seconds off his time. John Wherritt was next on 0.17, Judy Walsh 0.54, Tom Gray 0.07 and Mark Scullard 1.01.

John Wherritt was fortunate to partner Mark in the final of

the 2x25-metre Freestyle brace relay when Mark just touched out Judy Walsh on the second leg to claim the win. Mark Scullard and Judy had to be content with second place ahead of Richy and Ted Salcole.

Peter Hargreaves and Jacob Pearce and Nicole Johnstone and Glen Smith made up the field.

In the final of the 25-metre Freestyle, Ron Everett went a bit too quick and got the red

flag, thus handing the win to Judy Walsh and Glen Smith who couldn’t be separated when they touched the wall.

Nicole Johnstone and Mark Scullard were hot on their heels.

The Ducks held a very successful Annual General Meeting after the swim with all the positions being filled.

We are looking forward to a fun-filled season with all the Well done to Mark Prentice for his trophy-winusual banter. ning performance with the Ducks on May 4.

Roos run rampant over Roosters in Round 2 of Christie and Hood Castlereagh League

By BRYSON LUFF IN Round 2 of Christie and Hood Castlereagh League, it was all one-way traffic at Coolah’s Bowen Oval on Saturday in the Boronia Cup Challenge game between the Coolah Kangaroos and the Cobar Roosters in what was a replay of the 2024 grand final.

Last year in the grand final, which was played at Cobar, the Roos proved to be too strong and came away with the premiership, and they again flexed their muscles this time around, scoring ten tries to romp home with a big 52 to six victory to signal that they have every intention of going back to back when it comes to the major silverware on offer at the end of the season.

It was not a good day for the Roosters with their league tag team also suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of the Coolah Flyers, the final score being 58 to 10.

Cobar will enjoy their first home game this Saturday when they host the in-

form Coonabarabran Unicorns at Tom Knight Oval.

The Unicorns made it two wins in a row to start off their 2025 campaign when they saw off a strong challenge from the Warren Bulldogs in the game played at Coonabarabran. In fact, both teams scored six tries and the final 34 to 26 result came down to goal kicking.

The Warren club had a better result in League Tag with the blue and whites getting up 24 to 26 with the Warren fullback, Mab Fuller crossing for five tries in what was her club’s first victory in their comeback season to the Castlereagh competition.

Spectators at Narromine’s Cale Oval were treated to two very close games between the Jets and the visiting Dunedoo Swans.

In what was another epic league tag game between the two clubs, the Narromine Jets were able to retain the Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup when they won a nail biter against the Swannettes, the final score being 20 to 18.

That close and exciting game set the scene for what turned out to be an equally entertaining first grade contest with the Jets once again getting the nod, the winning margin again being two points with a scoreline of 26 to 24. The Jet’s five-eight Corey Cox was a standout for the winners, scoring four tries in an important victory for the club.

At Gulgong the spoils were shared between the host club and the Baradine Magpies, with the Maggies getting up 20 to12 in the league tag whilst the Bull Terriers proved to be too strong in first grade, winning 68 to 6.

The Magpies will be on the road again this Saturday when they venture to Dunedoo to take on the Swans, whilst other Saturday games will see Coolah have their first away game for the season when they play Coonamble at Coonamble, Cobar are at home to Coonabarabran, and Gilgandra will play Gulgong in league tag at Gilgandra.

Round three will open on

Friday night at Narromine when the Jets hosting the Warren Bulldogs, with the league tag game being a Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup game.

RECORD NUMBERS AND HEARTFELT FUNDRAISING AT 2025 MUDGEE CLASSIC

The 55km Dirty Mudgee held on Saturday was part of the 2025 Mudgee Classic. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

THE 2025 Mudgee Classic has wrapped up with record participation, drawing thousands of cyclists from across Australia and overseas for a weekend of scenic rides, festive atmosphere and perfect autumn weather.

Held over two days, the popular event featured the 55km Dirty Mudgee gravel ride on Saturday, followed by four Gran Fondo road courses on Sunday, ranging from 35km to 170km. Riders praised the event’s organisation, breathtaking countryside, and the warm hospitality of the Mudgee region.

Anthony Nguyen, one of 29 riders from cycling club Pastries CC, described the Dirty Mudgee ride as a standout experience.

“It was an absolutely beautiful course, champagne gravel can’t be understated.

"The volunteers were amazing. Gels, food, everything was covered. I can’t wait to be back!” he said.

The Glen Willow Sports Complex hosted the event vil-

lage, featuring live music, local food and beverages, and a showcase of sponsors.

Beyond the cycling, participants made a meaningful impact by raising nearly $40,000 for charities. First-time Mudgee Classic riders Dan Brown and Declan Stanley contributed more than $12,000 for MND Research Australia.

“We’re fundraising for MND Research Australia. It’s a charity very close to our hearts as our mother-in-law, Rozanna, is fighting the disease," Brown said.

"This is our way of honouring her strength and helping others who are living with MND." Organisers thanked local authorities, tourism bodies, police, and volunteers for their support. The 2026 Mudgee Classic is set for Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3.

"Cycling enthusiasts are encouraged to save the date and book their accommodation early to avoid disappointment," organisers said.

Big Red V comes to Wellington with a message of wellbeing for kids

Best you can be: Former Dragons first-grade prop Jeremy Latimore was joined by Dragons NRLW star Keele Brown at St Mary’s Catholic School in Wellington.

By DAVID DIXON THREE Wellington schools were among those honoured with a visit last week by the mighty St George Illawarra Dragons rugby league club.

The two-day program included school visits and clinics at Wellington Christian School, Wellington Public School, and St Mary’s Wellington, as well as a ‘Win the Morning’ walk and run for Wellington community.

The trip was part of an arrangement with their major sponsors, Squadron Energy, to bring the 2025 Community Blitz program to six local schools in the Central West region.

Other local schools involved included Goolma Public School, Ballimore Public School, and Gulgong Public School, The program – run by the NRL and NRLW Dragons players and ambassadors – included a series of interactive workshops for lo-

cal primary students centred around the St George Illawarra Dragons’ health and wellbeing program, ‘The Best You Can Be’.

Former Dragons, Parramatta, Penrith, Warriors, and Cronulla Sharks first-grade prop and Dragons Ambassador Jeremy Latimore was joined by Dragons NRLW star Keele Brown, who provided her own personal insights about the importance of these clinics.

“It’s always exciting for us to make the trip out to some of these Central West schools,” Ms Brown said.

“The students and teachers are so accommodating, and they take on board the messages that we are sharing,” she added.

Events like this can prove an inspiration for students in their own lives, she believes.

“As a professional athlete, I know how important it is for these kids to learn the impor-

tance of developing good habits and making the right choices.

“Seeing them get involved in all our activities, is really rewarding,” Ms Brown enthused.

Now in its ninth year, the program focuses on helping students make positive choices around health and wellbeing.

The workshops include tips to stay active, learn how to practice tolerance, respect and inclusiveness, the importance of good sleep, screen-time management, hydration and nutrition, as well as the important role we all play taking care of our environment.

Squadron Energy’s First Nations Engagement Facilitator Justin Toomey-White, who captain-coaches the Wellington Cowboys, said helping young kids understand the importance of both physical and mental health, is something both teams are really passionate about.

“Having grown-up in the Cen-

tral West, I know first-hand the power of sport in shaping young lives,” Mr Toomey-White said.

“This initiative has a huge impact... it’s about giving back to the community and empowering the next generation,” he added.

Goolma Public School Principal Matt Ferrie aid it was “absolutely fantastic” to have the NRL and NRLW players coming through.

“I know the kids appreciate the players visiting the school.

I certainly do, in terms of taking the time to get out to the bush and spread the good word about rugby league, set a good example, and the program that goes with the visits in terms of healthy choices, healthy living, and active lifestyles,” Mr Ferrie said.

“A couple of the kids are Dragons fans, so it’s great to have the Dragons players here,” Jeremy Latimore, during the school visits and he concluded. clinics. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

Demons prepare for Round 2 showdown at home

By THE DEMONS CLUB THE Dubbo Demons kicked off their AFL Central West season with a spirited weekend of football across all age groups in Orange.

From senior sides to junior debutants and the first Gala day of the season, the red, gold and navy delivered exciting performances and laid the foundation for what promises to be a thrilling 2025.

With Round 2 just around the corner, all eyes are on South Dubbo Oval where the Demons will host the Bathurst Bushrangers this Saturday, May 10.

Tier 1 Men launched their season with a high-intensity clash against Orange, displaying strong cohesion and signs of promise.

The squad welcomed five debutants – Andrew Grinter, Charlie Leishman, Douglas Doery, Patrick Henry, and Isaac Naqash – who all made an impact in their first outings.

Brody Roche was electric up forward, kicking six goals, while Dan Searle’s dynamic work on the wing earned him best-on-ground honours.

The Demons led early, weathered a third-quarter surge from Orange, and finished strong – learning valuable lessons about maintaining focus throughout the game. Final score Demons 18.12.120 defeated Orange Tigers 6.5.40 Senior Women hit the field with enthusiasm and skill, with new players Claudia Sullivan and Ella Blacker slotting in seamlessly.

The match was highlighted by Emily Warner’s milestone 100th club goal – part of a four-goal haul. Korrine, recovering from a finger injury at training, showed

incredible grit in the ruck and forward line, while Kristen Coady starred on the wing.

With sharp ball movement and strong tackling pressure, the team looks poised for a big year.

The final score saw Dubbo Demons 15.5.95 defeat Orange Tigers 1.1.7.

The Demons Under-17 boys combined forces with other clubs to create two competitive games filled with excitement. Standout moments included Darcy’s stunning goal straight from the cen-

tre bounce, Aiden’s blistering runs from one 50 to the other, and Will’s composed, skilful play across multiple positions.

Several boys played four games across the weekend, showing commitment and leadership by also stepping up to umpire. The squad’s energy and teamwork set a great tone for the season.

Youth Girls played two actionpacked games, showcasing depth and determination. First-gamer Emilie Hughes impressed across a variety of roles, while Orlagh

Quigley dominated through the middle, hitting the scoreboard with a couple of majors.

Bekky Dee held strong in defence, earning free kicks through relentless tackling, and Mia Richardson worked tirelessly across all three zones. The future is bright for this fast-developing group of athletes.

Under-14s battled hard in tough matchups, often bolstered by under-12s stepping up to fill numbers. Despite the challenges, they never gave up.

Highlights included a goal-saving tackle by Benny that sparked a team lift, and impressive efforts from Mekari and Will, who brought vital height and presence to the backline. Lily and Jada anchored the midfield with heart and hustle, showing maturity beyond their years.

Under-12s put together two brave performances full of learning and growth. Against Orange, a slow start was followed by three dominant quarters. Harry, Jack, Mitch and Haiden led from the front, while Elsie Bowen was a tackling machine and Zarlia Neville made a strong debut.

In their second match against Bathurst, the team struggled early but applied immense forward pressure in the second half, with Callum making critical defensive saves. Though they didn’t come away with a win, their effort and improvement were undeniable.

Under-10s thrilled onlookers in their first match of the season.

Ethan soared with several big marks, Audrey laid tough tackles, and Maddi was rock-solid in defence. These young Demons brought energy, determination and a love of the game that’s contagious – laying the groundwork for an exciting season ahead.

The Dubbo Demons invite the entire community to come out and support Round 2 at South Dubbo Oval on Saturday, May 10, as they face off against the Bathurst Bushrangers.

With family-friendly activities and senior games scheduled throughout the day, it’s a perfect chance to cheer on the mighty Demons and be part of a proud footy tradition.

Grab your scarf, rally the family, and don’t miss a moment of the action!
