Snare’s quietly celebrates 70th anniversary

By SHARON BONTHUYS A SPECIAL milestone passed ever so quietly earlier this month as the extended Snare family celebrated the 70th anniversary of their newsagency businesses in Dubbo.

There was celebratory cake, balloons, and a memory board on Friday, May 9, reminding the community of how the family business has grown and changed over the decades.

Just months after the devastating flood raged through the region, the Snare family opened their first newsagency in Tamworth Street on May 9, 1955.

One of eight children born to Joseph (Joe) and Colleen Snare, and the current proprietor of the Talbragar Street newsagency, Peter Snare, reflected fondly on the business that has grown to become synonymous with the town of Dubbo itself.

Peter was just two years old when the family opened their first Dubbo newsagency. Early on, the business sold a variety of things other than newspapers and attracted clientele from far and wide.

“We used to get a lot of people from way out west come in because it was a toy shop as well,” Peter explained.

“We also sold guns, air rifles, ammunition, shotgun cartridges, that sort of thing,” he added.

Together with his siblings Colleen (deceased), John, Bernadette, Anne, Lisa, Stewart, and Paul (Ted), Peter worked in the shop growing up. All of the chil-

dren were expected to contribute to the family business, he said, to help the business survive.

“We were doing things like sweeping the floor, unpacking stock, just tidying things, emptying the rubbish, and all the mundane things so that dad could be behind the counter serving,” Peter explained.

Almost all of Joe and Colleen’s 22 grandchildren have also

worked in the shop at some point, including two currently, and one great-grandchild, Peter said.

Joe and Colleen have both passed on, but their legacy lives on.

The Talbragar Street newsagency opened in 1984 and is much loved by the community. During our interview, many customers laughed and joked with Peter and reflected on their memories as

they bought their lottery tickets and reflected on the display marking the 70th anniversary.

A self-proclaimed “paper person”, Peter said that of all the things currently available for sale in the shop, he loves the newspapers.

“Over the years, I just love to sit down with the newspaper and have a nice, relaxing read. I don’t think you can beat it,” he added,

indicating that his wife Natalie prefers magazines.

The newsagency stocks a wide variety of magazines and newspapers, including the Dubbo Photo News and our regional sister papers, as well as cards and gifts. It also does a roaring trade in lottery tickets and scratchies, and proudly acknowledges there have been some very big wins for local patrons over the years.

After celebrating their 70th anniversary with cake on Friday, May 9, with visits from some of the Snare siblings on the day, it was straight back to work for Peter and his team.

“It’s the people that make this work great,” Peter concluded.

What’s on Australia Day? Council wants to know Council Update

By DAVID DIXON HOW we celebrate and commemorate Australia Day ceremonies in Dubbo and Wellington is currently on the mind of Dubbo Regional Council (DRC).

The DRC is encouraging locals to have their say on activities they would like to see held in conjunction with the community. Each year, council organises the formal ceremonies in Dubbo and Wellington, with a civic ceremony including Australia Day Awards and a citizenship ceremony in Dubbo.

Council also applies for Australia Day Ambassadors from the Australia Day Council to attend each event, Council’s Performing Arts and Events Manager Linda Christof said.

She added that, while the mandatory formalities will remain, council are now asking the community how to improve future events.

“As we go out to the community to ask, no ideas are off limits at this stage, though funding and budgets will be taken into consideration when determined by council as to how the event will take place,” Ms Christof said.

“Following the completion of the consultation period, the information will be taken back to council to determine what events will be held at Australia Day next year in both Wellington and Dubbo,” she added.

Have your say on council’s draft Youth Action Plan, Youth Council member Mia Richardson has urged. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

Council will then aim to find a balanced approach that considers the diversity of views expressed in the results, with other factors such as costs and feasibility to also be taken into consideration, Ms Christof said.

Council has determined that two separate Australia Day Award Ceremony events will be held in Dubbo and Wellington, with further details available in late 2025.

Draft Youth Action Plan after ideas COUNCIL has developed a draft Youth Action Plan to guide how council supports young people aged 12-25 across Dubbo, Wellington, and surrounding villages.

The draft Youth Action Plan is now on public exhibition, and council is keen to hear from young people across the region about the

future programs, activities, and actions to help young people feel supported, connected, and ready for the future.

“Following community consultation, the Youth Action Plan has been developed to reflect what our young people in our region want to see prioritised,” DRC Youth Development Officer Charmaine Mara said.

“The plan aims to outline coun-

cil’s key commitments and focus areas to the young people who live, work, visit and study in the Dubbo region,” she added.

Mia Richardson, a member of Dubbo Regional Council Youth Council and the NSW Youth Advisory Council, said this is the opportunity for young people to review the Youth Action Plan and have their say on a matter that’s important both now and the future.

“I would encourage young people in our area to have a voice, so decision-makers have an understanding of how young people feel and our views on different aspects that affect youth,” Ms Richardson said. “By having a say young people can feel seen and heard by the council and community,” she concluded.

out in 1914.

The small town also strongly supported fundraising efforts, with the Red Cross organising jam-making, dances, jumble sales, fetes and stage shows across the Tumut area to help the cause.

The Red Cross established the Adelong Soldiers’ Comforts Fund in 1917. Funds were used to buy

gifts of comfort items to supplement homemade packages.

The Patriotic Fund formed quickly after the start of the War, with the support of local farmers and businessmen. It aimed to raise funds by donations of money, stock or produce, with more than 200-pounds raised during the Fund’s operations.

Likewise, the local school became involved by knitting socks and raising funds for tobacco for the soldiers.

University of the Third Age (U3A) is a unique worldwide movement that encourages older people to take up or continue educational and other interests in friendly and informal settings.

U3A Dubbo Chapter Inc began in 1991. It now offers a range of courses to over 400 members and is committed to providing enjoyable learning experiences for seniors in Dubbo and the surrounding districts.

MILITARY and history enthusiasts heard stories of World War I soldiers and the southern NSW community that supported them during the U3A Dubbo Chapter’s latest Military History class.

May’s meeting enjoyed an indepth workshop and information from special guest Graeme Hosken who is a well-known author, committee member of Families and Friends of the First AIF Inc FFFAIF, and editor of the ‘Digger’ publication.

Graeme was born in Adelong, a small town at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains in Southern NSW, about 20km from Tumut.

Graeme’s own interest in Military History sparked his 2019 publication “Adelong: A small town in the Great War”. The 1040-page book began as research regarding Adelong locals and their participation in World War I efforts.

After four years of research and writing, the finished publication told the stories of more than 500 soldiers.

As a gold-mining and rural farming town, Adelong had many labourers. Labourers were commonly young, fit and used to harsh conditions. Such qualities were highly regarded, and many Adelong labourers joined the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) when World War I broke

Return of Phil Stack, and jazz breakfast, highlights popular festival

By DALLAS REEVES THE return of acclaimed musician Phil Stack and the first-ever jazz breakfast highlighted the second Western Plains Jazz Festival at Dubbo Golf Club from May 2-4.

In 2024, the Western Plains Jazz Association held the inaugural event and this year was even better than the first: Ten bands played, including four local bands Chalkies, Felonius Monk (from the Macquarie Conservatorium of Music), The Simons Trio, and The Dubbo Jazz Quartet.

Travelling bands came from Melbourne, Sydney, and Wollongong.

Some musicians also came out by themselves and formed and played with locals.

The event attracted more than 100 visitors to Dubbo. Guests travelled from Geelong, Canberra, Griffith, Swan Hill, and Newcastle.

It is estimated of 300 people attended across the weekend.

“The music was just tremendous the whole weekend,” said event organiser and president of Western Plains Jazz Association (WPJA) Greg Barker. “The crowd was very happy.”

Special guest Phil Stack came on board as the WPJA’s patron. Mr Stack began as a local musician, attending South Dubbo High School. He is now an admired bass guitarist and double bass player with James Morrison and Thirsty Merc. Mr Stack also plays in many other bands.

Mr Stack played with The Dubbo

Jazz Quartet on the Saturday night as the fourth member, which was an event highlight.

“He is a local boy that has done exceptionally well,” Mr Barker revealed. “He last worked with us when he was just coming out of school going to the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney, at the beginning of his music career. “He thoroughly enjoyed it. He’ll be back next year if he can make it.”

The first jazz breakfast on the Sunday morning was another highlight. It was put together with the support of Dubbo Veteran Golfers, who sold out of egg-and-bacon rolls and orange juice.

Dubbo band The Sim Jullivan Experience -- with students from St John’s College and Dubbo College Senior Campus -- played on the Sunday morning.

Mr Barker felt the event went perfectly. “The committee and associates were all very, very, pleased with the attendance,” he said.

“It was another great success. All band members performed admirably and our travellers took advantage of the weather and Dubbo’s attractions.

We’re looking forward to next year.

“We really appreciate all the support of all our sponsors who helped make this event a success.”

PHARMACY PROGRAM GIVES NZ STUDENTS A TASTE OF REGIONAL NSW LIFE

By DALLAS REEVES

THE ability to pack so much learning into five days at Dubbo highlights the benefits of a practical placement program piloted by an Australian pharmacy group.

Fourth-year Bachelor of Pharmacy students from New Zealand have been working on the frontline in regional NSW in a Life Pharmacy Group (LPG) initiative aimed at encouraging the next generation of pharmacists to live in regional Australia.

LPG is spread across rural NSW and the Australian Capital Territory.

The rotation program encourages students to join LPG for their intern year.

Dubbo pharmacist Uzair Qamar is a former University of Otago (Dunedin) student who has now been working at Orana Mall Pharmacy and living in Dubbo for more than a year. He completed his intern year in January and is staying on with the group.

The LPG placement program is in its third year and provides students a practical understanding of working in Australian community pharmacies.

Zandra Hinton, Aisling Casey and Jonah Smith worked alongside pharmacists at Orana Mall Pharmacy from May 3 to May 8, providing healthcare to the local community.

The students were to spend

time in Orange, Parkes, Forbes and Canberra following their stint in Dubbo, coming to Australia on May 2 and departing for New Zealand on June 1.

“It’s such a cool experience getting to see a different side of pharmacy,” Ms Casey said.

“The technology over in Australia is so much more advanced

than it is in New Zealand.

“The robotics and just having everything digitally... in New Zealand we’re still writing out all of our control drugs in this big book.

“Even little things... you can’t get an inhaler over-the-counter in New Zealand and so it’s been really cool to see the difference that

“More specific to Dubbo... they’ve got a registered nurse here that (provides) sleep services and we were able to learn a bit more from her about... the different symptoms and different treatments that can be done through pharmacy.”

Born in Texas, USA, Ms Casey

lived in Castle Hill, Australia, New Jersey (US) and Cork (Ireland) before moving to New Zealand at 17.

“We’ve been doing quite a few really interesting things,” Ms Casey said.

“In Dubbo, we were able to assist with staff flu vaccinations at Tracserv.

“The main aim for this placement is just for us to get used to the processes of pharmacy in Australia and also (see) if this is somewhere that we would want to go next year.

“Mostly we’ve been assisting in the dispensary, so I’ve been able to chat to patients and hand out medication and receive scripts.

“Also helping with Websterpaks for the retirement home in Dubbo.”

The visiting students will graduate in December.

“The University of Otago is really well known for generating really well-rounded pharmacists that really care,” Ms Casey said.

“Pharmacists that are patientcentred... rather than I guess business or transactional-like.

“They’re (University of Otago) really good at making sure that we’ve got the right communication skills so we can be the best pharmacist possible.

“I can’t wait to see more about the different processes in Australia and it’s been just such an incredible experience,” she said.

SEED SWAP GROUP IN WELLINGTON The Enderby family in Dubbo HAS FIRST EVENT ON THIS SATURDAY

By DAVID DIXON SWAPPING seeds to grow your own plants, flowers, and vegies became a popular back-to-nature trend during the pandemic lockdowns.

Wellington is now getting into the act, with a new seed collective and produce swap group about to start up in town with its first gettogether this Saturday, May 31.

The organisers are a sister club to Dubbo’s Transition seed group and follow the same principals of gathering seed from plants and vegetables locals grow ourselves and share amongst others, organiser Stephen Colwell explained.

“Lockdown saw residents turning to growing their own vegetables or starting up no-dig plots and these took off in a big way, now with the cost of living and vegetable prices soaring in price, some families miss out on what we take for granted,” Mr Colwell said.

“With a free help-yourself seed donation box it gives everybody the chance to join in and grow something.

Growing your own produce and tending a flower garden is not only hip pocket-friendly but also a great relief for depression and stress.”

The group, he revealed, will have no meetings or committee, but be a simple come as you are on the last Saturday of every month hosted at the Four Cats Café, Warne Street, Wellington.

“The idea is for people to gather seed from their own garden or bring along some seed packs to share on the day... you may also have spare potatoes, or greens, herbs in abundance, or other bits and pieces to share freely.

“Simply put something on the trade table and choose something of interest. Until the seed box is fully established there will be a limit of three packets of seed per person, so look around your garden shed, you may have excess seeds to swap,” Mr Colwell said.

“A twist on the monthly

meets, will also include people being able to bring along cuttings from succulents or other shrubs that are easy to grow and swap for something else, with winter fast approaching it is the perfect time to start pruning and bring those cuttings along.”

Also on offer will be an exercise book where people can list other items for gardening they may like to give-away or share amongst themselves. For example you may have some old polly pipe or lengths of timber too good to go to the tip, and someone else may be pleased to come pick them up for free.

“Mulch and farm manure is also in demand so feel free to leave details where other gardeners can collect from,” Mr Colwell said.

“We would love to see all gardeners turn up on the Saturday for our first meet so don’t be shy, even if you have nothing to bring, just come on down for a cuppa and a chat to see what it’s all about,” he concluded.

The event is on Saturday, May 31, from 11am to 12.30pm at The Four Cats Café; for more information, contact Stephen Colwell or Peter on: Writing1920@ outlook.com by Friday, May 30; text message 0439 204 138; or simply come on the day!

Dubbo Photo News’ Time Warp story on May 15 reported on former Dubbo High School student Kep Enderby who went on to serve in the Whitlam government in the 1970s. Prompted by that story, a keen local amateur historian contributed this background article on the Enderby family, based mostly on newspaper articles published during the 1930s and ‘40s.

one local newspaper report said, “It will be remembered that it was Mr Enderby who drew attention to the destruction of trees caused by the installation of electric light cables in Darling Street.”

He was as an outspoken advocate of town and country development.

In late 1943, Alfred sold his café business and he and his wife moved to Sydney, prompting him to resign from the council in January 1944. The family’s departure was deeply felt, as they were generous supporters of local schools and community groups.

Saunders backing regions push to host elite Women’s Junior Hockey World Cup

By DALLAS REEVES THE state coalition is firmly united in calling for state and federal support to bring the highly anticipated 2027 Women’s Junior Hockey World Cup to the regions.

The tournament would draw thousands of international players, officials and visitors to Canberra, Albury, Wagga Wagga, Queanbeyan, and Goulburn, providing a massive boost to local sporting groups while bringing more than $26m worth of investment, a press release stated.

It would also provide an opportunity for regional NSW and the Australian Capital Territory to accommodate and cater for the world’s best under-21 field hockey players.

“Held every two years, the Junior World Cup is a spectacle of new talent,” the International Federation Internationale de Hockey website states. “This is the perfect platform for young players to unleash their raw skill onto the international hockey scene.”

NSW Nationals’ leader Dugald Saunders said it is the perfect opportunity to let our country communities shine on the global stage.

Mr Saunders, the member for Dubbo, is keen to give localities in southern NSW and ACT the chance to generate significant tourism income from this event.

“This tournament will attract crowds from right across the world, allowing us to not only

showcase our talented young athletes, but also all regional NSW has to offer,” Mr Saunders said.

“We need to shoot for gold and do everything possible to make

this happen, and that will require investment in local infrastructure which is something the Minns’ Labor government needs to prioritise and also be pushing its federal

Labor counterparts for.

“It will also support local hotels, cafés, pubs, clubs, shops, and businesses of all kinds that our regional cities and towns rely on.”

The event, which is held every two years, consists of 24 teams competing for the title and has previously been held in Chile, Germany, America, Argentina, Canada, and Spain.

This year’s Women’s Junior Hockey World Cup will be held in the capital city of Chile, Santiago.

It will be the 11th edition of the event.

Shadow Minister for Sport Eleni Petinos, the (Liberal Party) member for Miranda in southern Sydney, said upgraded facilities will open the door for NSW to potentially host training camps for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.

On top of State Government funding, local hockey associations are seeking $14.5m from the commonwealth to upgrade playing fields, develop elite regional centres and enhance sustainability.

Chief Executive Officer of Hockey ACT Rob Sheekey said the Women’s Junior Hockey World Cup is a key milestone for the next generation of stars.

“This tournament sets the stage for hockey players under the age of 21 to prove themselves against the best of the best. We have the chance to bring it to the Oceania region for the very first time,” Mr Sheekey said.

Beep, Beep, Beep: Smoke Alarm Day is this Sunday

Sunday, June 1, is Smoke Alarm Action Day. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

FIRE and Rescue NSW are advising that this Sunday, June 1, is Smoke Alarm Action Day, an annual, nationwide day of action supported and endorsed by emergency services from every state and territory that encourages people to test their smoke alarm.

“We know that a working smoke alarm is the best early warning sign of a fire and cuts the risk of fire-related deaths in half, and yet last year, nearly half the homes damaged or destroyed by fire in NSW did not have a working smoke alarm,” a Fire and recue NSW spokesperson said.

“It’s time for the community to stop being complacent about their own safety.”

By coming together once a year, every year, for Smoke Alarm Action Day, they revealed, we can send a powerful and united message that amplifies the urgency and importance of smoke alarm compliance and maintenance.

Scholarships keep two locals studying, working in Orana region SCHOLARSHIPS for tertiary studies can sometimes prove the incentive that young people need to stay and study in their home town.

Based on this principle, Dubbo recently gained two new skilled workers from Charles Sturt University, helping plug the critical skill shortages in the regions.

Emily Atlee and Tori Reynolds recently graduated from CSU in Dubbo with a Bachelor of Educational Studies and a Bachelor of Social Work, respectively.

Both grew up where they continue to study, live and work, with Emily and Tori’s university journeys aided thanks to Dubbo Regional Council Scholarships worth $3000 each.

“I was able to purchase required texts, equipment I needed to start university, and overall lessen the financial burden of being a fulltime student fresh out of school and going on unpaid placements,” Tori said.

other was something I found extremely useful, as well as having smaller, more intimate classes where I was able to get one-onone support,” Tori said.

Now with her sights set on a career helping disadvantaged and vulnerable children overcome barriers to achieve their goals,

Tori’s personal experiences have continued to motivate her success.

“During my high school years, one of my parents was affected by an illness that required them to be in Sydney for extended periods of time over a couple of years,” she said.

“This meant I had to learn time-

management skills and adaptability in my day-to-day life while still attending school, staying committed to sport and navigating my teenage years.”

Fellow graduate Emily also took a non-linear path to university, already working as a teacher’s aide and participating in the Collaborative Teacher’s Aide Pathway Program to enrol at Charles Sturt.

“Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher and having key teachers throughout my schooling inspired me to continue this career,” Emily said.

“A teacher once told me, ‘The world is your oyster’, and I have taken that concept with me, which has inspired a range of various choices I have made and led me to where I am today.”

Dubbo Mayor Josh Black said it was wonderful to see Emily graduate with the support of the scholarship.

“Dubbo Regional Council consider it very important to support local people in gaining access to our local university, and particularly the local campus of that university, so we’re thrilled to be able to back that up with this scholarship,” he said.

Michael Sutherland, who represented the Tony McGrane Memorial Scholarship, which was another scholarship offered to this graduating cohort, noted the importance of helping aspiring students to believe in their higher education dreams.

“I don’t remember a time when there have been more employment opportunities for university graduates – particularly in the regions,” Mr Sutherland said.

“In difficult financial times, every small hand can provide incentives to further education and a promising career,” he concluded.

MAGS welcomes families to early years open day

By SHARON BONTHUYS MACQUARIE Anglican Grammar School (MAGS) in Dubbo welcomed families to its first ever “early years open day” last Friday.

Principal Alison Mitchell and Head of Junior School Keera Job joined other staff in welcoming prospective and existing parents and carers to the co-educational independent day and boarding school for children from Prep to Year 12.

Accompanied by their little ones, about 20 parents and carers toured the MAGS junior school with Ms Job, taking the opportunity to explore early learning programs including Prep and Kindergarten, music lessons, and other educational activities at the school.

Several families attending the open day have already successfully enrolled their young children in the school and came for a look.

One father told the Dubbo Photo News that he has an older child at the school and their family is very familiar with the structured learning environment at MAGS. He knows his younger daughter will enjoy joining their sibling at the school next year.

Another parent said their child has been accepted for Prep in 2027, and is raring to go with her learning.

Principal Mitchell said in-

terest in the school has exploded. Next year’s Year Seven cohort is at full capacity for the first time, she said, and the early years open day is so popular that another event is scheduled next month.

“This is an opportunity for people to come in and see who we are and hear about what we do,” Ms Mitchell explained.

Junior School Head Keera Job said she was very pleased with the turnout to the early years open day and the interest shown by parents and carers.

“We’re really proud of our programs,” Ms Job told the Dubbo Photo News.

“Children are expected to engage and behave, and people appreciate that,” she added.

Former student Kasey Bogie, 22, who won a scholarship to an American university, is back at MAGS looking after marketing for the 670-student school, now in its 24th year.

Ms Bogie said the school’s focus on the “child as a whole” was one of the important reasons why families bring their children to MAGS. “I knew all of my teachers personally, and everyone took the effort to get to know me and help develop me into the best person I could be,” she concluded.

The next early years open day at MAGS will take place on Friday, June 20.

The tour included visiting a Prep classroom.

Music lessons are lots of fun at MAGS.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN ACROSS the country, millions of Australians were celebrated for their tireless work and service to the community during National Volunteers Week.

But at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, there was a special milestone celebrated with the Zoo commemorating 40 years of volunteering.

Taronga Chief Executive, Cameron Kerr told Dubbo Photo News that National Volunteer Week was a wonderful time to congratulate their volunteer community on reaching the incredible milestone of four decades of service.

“Volunteers are an essential part of the Dubbo community, and likewise an essential part of what we do here at Taronga,” he said.

“They support our staff and teams in so many areas from caring for animals through to educating and inspiring guests, supporting conservation projects, animal observations and the list goes on!”

The celebration was held in the Savannah Room at Taronga Western Plains with about 30 volunteers in attendance and for one volunteer, Bob Barden, it was a very special day.

Bob applied to be a volunteer at the Zoo in 1987 when he saw an advertisement in the local newspaper. He was lucky enough to be called up as a volunteer and has never looked back.

“And from there I have just kept at it... one of the greatest things (about volunteering) is the fellowship of the other volunteers,” he explained. “You see volunteers come and go but I think it is great character development for those who are interested.”

Bob has been volunteering at

the zoo for 38 years and says he will keep going until he can’t do it anymore.

“It is better to wear out then rust out,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

Jackson Schwarz grew up in Dubai, half a world away from Dubbo, but his passion for animals is what drew him out to the gorgeous Golden West where he first started at the zoo as a guest experience officer.

“I was a tour guide here back in 2021 but I really wanted to get more hands-on experience with the animals and that is when I put my hand up to volunteer, so that I could do a lot more around the zoo,” Jackson said, hoping for a full-time position.

Jackson is now a volunteer keeper and primarily works in Division Two, the “Aussie” animals, but has worked with meerkats, primates and big cats.

He recommends anyone with an interest with animals to give volunteering a go at Taronga Western Plains.

“You are working with fantastic people who always look out for you and watch your back,” he explained. “There is never a dull moment, no two days are the same here at the zoo.”

necting Communities” this year, the NSW SES is keen to highlight the diverse opportunities and personal rewards that come with joining the service.

Commissioner Wassing said volunteering can be tailored to fit a variety of lifestyles, and that many people are surprised by the range of roles available.

“Whether you’re interested in hands-on field work, community engagement, logistics, or support behind the scenes, there’s a role for you,” he said.

Dash Aubusson-Foley told the Dubbo Photo News that there were many non-public-facing roles like logistics, administration, incident management and much more that people of all ages and abilities could be involved with if physical frontline response work was not possible for them, or not of interest.

The Dubbo City SES unit also trains on Tuesday nights and attendance is flexible, he said.

Dubbo City SES volunteers attended Orana Mall last weekend to promote the work they do, and an information night is planned at the local unit’s headquarters in Judy Jakins Drive, airport precinct, for Wednesday, June 18.

For further information about volunteering with the SES, see the advertisement on this page.

Dash volunteers with Dubbo SES – and you can, too!

YESTERDAY was a special day for Dubbo teen Dash Aubusson-Foley, who quietly clocked up his first anniversary of volunteering with the Dubbo State Emergency Service (SES).

The 19-year-old retail assistant was looking for a volunteering opportunity to further develop himself professionally when he happened across the SES. Dash joined the ranks of other local volunteers with the Dubbo City SES on May 28, 2024, and hasn’t looked back.

“I met some really great people, saw that their values aligned, and decided, why not?” he told the Dubbo Photo News.

The past year has exposed Dash to a range of opportunities with the NSW SES and led to significant personal growth and development.

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with teams from all over the state and out of state, such as Queensland SES and ACT SES, for flooding and heavy rainfall events,” he explained.

“I’ve met many people and have made many friends from [volunteering with the SES] and I’ve really come a long way from a year ago. I don’t even recognise myself anymore,” he added.

As National Volunteer Week

drew to a close last weekend, NSW SES Commissioner Mike Wassing AFSM welcomed the opportunity to recognise the vital contributions of SES volunteers and invited more people to get involved.

“Our volunteers are everyday people doing extraordinary things. They are part of the fabric of their towns and communities,” Commissioner Wassing said.

“Volunteering with the NSW

SES is a rewarding way to connect with others, develop new skills, and be there for your community when it matters,” he added.

Lions Pre-Loved Book Fair on the move and looking for a new home

By DAVID DIXON RECENTLY gifting a big cheque to provide holiday events for local kids, Wellington’s Lions Pre-loved Book Fair is a great local resource and a wonderful fund-raiser for the community.

However, things are about to change. The imminent sale of the Western Stores – where the book fair has been hosted for five years – requires moving to a new location, with the group now seeking a kind-hearted local landlord.

“We’ve been here since 2019, and it’s a good spot but, basically, the shop we are in now has been sold and we have to move out,” Club President John Pringle explained.

“We’re now looking for somewhere in town where we can

get a shopfront for a peppercorn (nominal) rent to relocate to – we have to be out by the end of June,” he added.

The good works funded by the second-hand book emporium recently included money to help a local not-for-profit put on events during the school holidays, John revealed.

“We recently donated a cheque for $2000 to a school holiday program run by Dubbo Council. It’s called ‘Kids for Community’, and the money came from our regular book sales that we’ve run in the stores, but now that has to change.”

The book fair, however, is not the only good work being done in cooperation with other local groups by the local service club with the motto “We Serve”,

Secretary/Treasurer Chris Hardy revealed.

“For the last couple of months, the money raised from Wellington Lions Pre-Loved Book Fair is also going to Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Foundation, whose motto is ‘Every child deserves a chance at a healthy life’,” she added.

Chris also said that, for bookworms, now’s the time to pickup a bargain from the Lions initiative, before the big move.

“Come and check out the huge range of good quality books that are available. The ‘Special’ priced books are now half the marked price to clear, as we will be closing by the end of June.”

For now, the Pre-Loved Book Fair is still in The Western Gallery, where the art is exhibited,

and open Thursday to Saturday 10am to 2pm.

Wellington Craft Co-op is also the place to drop-off your stamps and spectacles for use

by Lions Charities, with a big recent donation, Chris revealed.

“A lot of work for Lions Service are the stamps and glasses we are collecting, so we are pleased that Wellington Craft Co-op has come on board to help us with those,” Chris said.

“We are pleased that $35,000 has been donated to Australian Lions Children’s Mobility Foundation from Lions International Stamp Club who auction the donated stamps,” Chris concluded.

IN FOCUS THUMBS

UP!

& THUMBS UP to the amazing nurses, doctors and staff in the ICU at Dubbo Base Hospital. A heartfelt thank you for all your compassion and kindness to me while in your care. Forever grateful. & THUMBS UP to Rachel at Angus and Coote at Orana Mall for the friendly and professional service I received recently and for the excellent work she did on a bracelet that I needed to have repaired. & THUMBS UP to all emergency department staff at the Dubbo Base Hospital. An elderly lady who presented following a serious fall was handled with prompt attendance. Their immediate action and information was dealt with in a very professional manner, resulting in overnight admission and constant monitoring, leading to a satisfactory recovery. Your efforts were much appreciated. & THUMBS UP to the organisers of Dubbo’s Million Paws Walk. I had heard that the national organisers were considering making this year’s walk the last, so on behalf of my family and our amazing pair of dogs we were pleased to hear that the Dubbo group is considering keeping it going next year. & THUMBS UP to the very cheery gentleman serving behind the counter at the Mobil service station on the corner of Hawthorn and Cobra Streets. I’m sure many weary travellers appreciate your friendly service. & THUMBS UP to the news that another electric vehicle charger is going to be installed in Dubbo. We would love our next car to be an electric, but friends who have one tell us that when travelling long distances in regional NSW, it can be hard to find somewhere to recharge.

So here’s hoping we’ll see more and more of these EV chargers being installed all over the state.

LEO: Your reliability and discretion will earn you the trust of those around you. Some people may confide in you unreservedly. Expect some surprising revelations that leave you astonished.

VIRGO: Your travel plans may prove to be more difficult than you expected. You may have to play chauff eur for your loved ones on various occasions. You’ll show ingenuity on a project, which may cause you to be committed for the long term.

LIBRA: Before finalising any major purchases, take a day or two to think things over. This pause could help you negotiate a better deal and potentially save you money.

SCORPIO: Prioritise rest this week! At work, drinking a second cup of coff ee could help clear your mind and boost your productivity. You’ll be more creative, so trust your intuition as it guides you toward successful outcomes.

Plenty of pooches at Sandy Beach for final RSPCA Million Paws Walk

By KEN SMITH Sunday saw the last lap, the final RSPCA Million Paws Walk nationally.

The good news for Dubbo is there will be a local/regional event next year if the local volunteer team has their way, and something tells me... watch this space.

It’s a fun fundraising event that deserves to continue, and on a beautiful autumn morning at Sandy Beach on Sunday, May 25, the variety and number of dogs who persuaded their owners to attend was outstanding.

GEOFF MANN

OLD FRIEND DROPS IN TO THE DUBBO DUCKS POOL

Western Division’s State of Origin links expand Blues debutant Max King poses for a photograph following the announcement in Sydney on May 19 of the NSW Blues team for Game I of the 2025 State of Origin. PHOTO: AAP/DEAN LEWINS

By GEOFF MANN ISSAH YEO from Dubbo and Liam Martin (West Wyalong) are the standout names in this week’s State of Origin, but one who has flown under the radar is forward Max King.

Canterbury go-forward prop or second-rower Max King is the grandson of Johnny King, the

man who coached Western Division to one of the greatest stories in sporting history.

The former Gilgandra schoolboy who played with the mighty St George in six premiershipwinning grand finals was the publican at Wellington’s Federal Hotel and coached the then Reds to finals in ‘74 and ‘75.

Kingy was a proud man when

Max’s name was read out on the NSW team list just over a week ago.

Max is following in the tradition of Johnny’s fellow Saints hardmen Kevin Ryan and John Wittenberg, with Canterbury this year.

Another who was invited to train with the Blues during their pre-State of Origin Camp was

Cody Ramsey from Molong.

History shows that Terry Fahey (Wellington), David Gillespie (Narromine), Nik Kosef (Cobar) as well as Dubbo stars Dean Pay, David Peachey and Andrew Ryan have also worn the Blues, while Wellington Cowboys’ Blake Ferguson is still plying his skills after representing NSW and Australia.

THE Dubbo Ducks had a welcome visit from Peter Davis on Sunday who was a treasured duck back in the day. Peter has resided up north for a good few years and was in Dubbo catching up with his family.

We also welcomed two delightful new ducklings, Matilda and Lydia Barling,and their mum Amy who brought a breath of fresh air to a rather brisk morning.

Well, Mark Prentice will certainly come under scrutiny from the Handicapper after he continued on his winning way from two weeks ago.

In the final of the 25-metre Freestyle he timed his race beautifully after chasing down the front markers to get first place. Amy Barling in her first race with the Ducks came in second, with Rob Rich, Brian Schloeffel and Norm Bahr completing the line-up.

Peter Davis showed he still has some form in the final of the 25-metre Backstroke when both he and Norm Bahr broke their times which handed another win to Mark Prentice. Mark Scullard relegated to 2nd place and Neil Harris 3rd place.

In the 25-metre Breaststroke, closest to time Mark was also on the mark when he touched the wall just 0.43 seconds off his time. Kath O’ Rourke 0.55 was also close to her time and Henry “flippers” Willcockson on 0.60 seconds.

Matilda and Lydia Barling were unlucky when they swam a little bit too fast in the 2x50-metre Freestyle brace relay final. As was Rob Rich and Dave Sparkes, and alas Mark Prentice came unstuck with Peter Hargreaves when they also broke. Brian Schloeffel and Henry Willcockson were more than happy to take the points.

This Sunday we swim for the Kintyre Country Living June Trophy race followed by a monthly meeting and lunch to follow in the RSL bistro.

AFL: Chasing Tigers and Dubbo Demons

IN a historic moment, the Tier 2 Men’s team secured a thrilling win over Cowra – their first in many years. The Round 4 match saw several fresh faces for the season including Josh Anasis, club life member Trevor Dutschke, Jake O’Donnell and Dylan Fairall.

The goal-scoring was shared with six different players hitting the scoreboard, including hattricks from Damian Talbot and Dylan Fairall. Tullic O’Brien was outstanding in defence, returning strongly from a knee injury.

Final score: Dubbo Demons 10.6.66 defeated Cowra Blues 4.3.27.

It was an incredible showing from the Dubbo Demons Women’s side, with a strong performance against Cowra. Youth girls Beky, Orlagh and Mia stepped up and contributed to the win.

Molly Mayall was a goal sneak in front of the big sticks with six majors, while super mums Lauren Anasis and Alicia Hafoka were everywhere – taking marks, kicking goals, and creating endless opportunities.

Mia Richardson was a wall in defence, and Bec Short worked tirelessly through the midfield.

Huge credit to Cowra for travelling with a full team and subs.

Final score: Dubbo Demons 19.24.138 defeated Cowra Blues 0.0.0.

The Tier 1 Men’s team delivered a powerhouse performance in Parkes, dominating Orange Tigers in ideal football conditions. Goals were spread evenly with Daniel Searle and Brody Roche each bagging four, and Jake Egan slotting three.

Max Grant earned Best on Ground again, displaying his aerial dominance and ball-winning prowess. Brendan Fernando Fuller dazzled with his pace and scored the goal of the day. Next up, a big clash against reigning premiers Bathurst Bushrangers.

Final score: Dubbo Demons 17.18.120 defeated Orange Tigers 2.1.13.

A genuine shout-out to the nine senior men who volunteered to play for the opposition in a game Dubbo wasn’t scheduled for. Their selfless act of supporting a fellow club in need truly showcases the spirit, culture and community strength of the Dubbo Demons.

While you’ll always look better in red, gold and navy, we couldn’t be prouder!

Indigenous Gala Day at Bathurst: The Bathurst Giants hosted a fantastic Indigenous Junior Gala Day last weekend, which featured a special award for each game and began with a powerful and respectful smoking ceremony that set the tone for a day of unity and celebration through football.

Under 10s: The future looks bright! Kayden bravely took on the bigger Bathurst Giants and even slotted a goal, while Thomas and Ethan impressed with strong kicking and safe marking throughout the day.

Under 12s: Kobi Sloane had a sensational debut in the red and blue, earning Best on Ground honours in a comprehensive win over Orange. Jack Vaile and Harry Ashby both scored goals. The young Demons were polished and composed. Final score: Dubbo Demons 7.7.49 defeated Orange Tigers 3.3.21.

Under 14s: Despite a slow start, the Under 14s fought hard against a very strong Orange side, bolstered by support from six Bathurst Giants players. Aidan Pearson kicked his first-ever two goals

and his brother Jaida claimed Best on Ground. Giants’ Isaac Munns and Vin Pearce also stood out in a gutsy team performance. Final score: Dubbo Demons 6.2.38 defeated by Orange Tigers 12.9.81.

Youth Girls: With help from Bathurst Giants, the Youth Girls had a full and fiery contest. The Taylor sisters were in everything, with Georgie contesting hard and Abby taking a standout mark. Em Fairman rebounded brilliantly from

defence, while Mia Richardson capped a massive weekend with a Best on Ground showing – kicking a goal, dominating ruck taps, and showing great run. Final score: Dubbo Demons 4.3.27 defeated

by Orange Tigers 5.7.37.

Under 17s: With assistance from both Giants and Cowra, the Under-17s fielded a strong team and put in a spirited effort. Darcy Fairman was excellent across the ruck and half-back, even snagging a

goal, while Daniel Mawbey took strong marks all day. Munch was consistent in defence, never out of the contest. Final score: Dubbo Demons 9.5.59 defeated by Orange Tigers 12.5.77.

From juniors to seniors, men’s to women’s, it’s clear the Dubbo Demons are building something special – both on and off the field.

Go Demons!

Bears and Jets hug

By BRYSON LUFF AT the end of their Christie and Hood Castlereagh League match played at Coonamble between the hometown Bears and the visiting Narromine Jets, the two teams were inseparable – well at least on the scoreboard that was the case!

The Jets had largely enjoyed having the lead throughout most of the game, the score being 24 to 10 in their favour at half time and 32 to 16 at one stage during the second stanza.

However, the never-say-die attitude of the Grizzlies again came to the fore and they scored the final 16 points in the game to see the two teams shaking hands with the scoreboard reading 32-all.

After last week’s unbelievable finish at Gulgong, when the Bull Terriers came from behind to register an incredible win over the Dunedoo Swans, the home side supporters once again had to endure a very tight finish to the game, this time being against the Cobar Roosters.

Two tries to the Terrier’s front rower Blake Gorrie in the opening 16 minutes of the game, followed soon after with another to their centre Toby O’Leary, saw the home side looking good at 14 points to nil, but two Rooster tries, one scored by their lock Tadgh McMullen just before the half time break, and another by his lock and brother Oisin just after the resumption of play, had the Roosters well and truly back in the game, trailing by just two points, 14 to 12.

The Terriers responded and were able to stretch the scoreboard out to what looked to be a comfortable 26 to 12 advantage with the clock ticking down.

However, two converted tries to the Roosters in the final five min-

utes gave the Terrier players and their supporters some cause for concern, and the sounding of the fulltime hooter bought them much relief after yet another tense finish at Billy Dunn Oval.

There were no less than 16 tries scored at Baradine in their local derby clash against the Coonabarabran Unicorns. Unfortunately for the Magpies they could only claim five of them in what was a free-flowing affair, the final score being 56 to 28 with the Unicorns centre Brad Fuller crossing the stripe four times as well as landing 4 goals for a personal tally of 24 points.

At Dunedoo the Swans became another statistic for Coolah Kangaroos, being well beaten 46 to 4, and they will have their work cut out for them this Saturday when they travel out to take on the Roosters at Cobar.

The Swans were going quite nicely in the competition until mid-way through the second half of their game against Gulgong in round 4, and since then they have conceded some 80 points and scored just four!

The Roosters are always hard at home and unless the Swans address their defensive deficiencies in a hurry it could well be a long trip home for the green and whites.

The Boronia Cup is on the line at Coolah when the Kangaroos will be defending the silverware for the seventh time, on this occasion against the Baradine Magpies.

The Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup will also be played for this Saturday when the Narromine Jets host Gulgong, with the firstgrade game shaping as the match of the round.

LEANNE AND CLAIRE WIN WOMEN’S MAJOR-MINOR PAIRS CHAMPIONSHIP IN the West Dubbo Bowls Club Championships, Leanne Erwin and Claire Brown won the Women’s Major/Minor Pairs Championship last week in a nailbiting final. It took Claire’s last bowls to win the game by one shot from a gallant showing by Nat Morrow and Judy Cassidy. In the semifinals, Natalie and Judy caused an upset by downing hot favourites Averial Cox and Tracey Silk, whilst Leanne and Claire were too solid for Aileen Beecroft and Marg Rich.

In the Men’s Major/Minor Pairs, it got down to the semi-finals. The ‘old brigade’ of Max Low and Bill Van Der Mey had too many guns for Brendan Emery and in-form State Champion Jarrod Palmer to get through to the final.

In the other ‘semi’, Anthony Brown and Mick Smith just got over the father and son duo of Gavin and Cooper Dart to progress.

The final of this championship will be held this Sat-

the Ladies’ Mid West team at Cabra-Vale Diggers, whilst Daniel Stanley and Anthony Brown were the club’s representatives in the men’s team at Cabramatta.

By GEOFF MANN DUBBO Macquarie staged one of the greatest wins in Group XI history in 1985 at Dubbo Showground, and many of the team gathered for a reunion in Dubbo on Saturday.

The then “Blues” trailed Westside by six points with the bell about to go when representative utility player Greg Edwards dived over beside the posts. Future Western Suburbs centre Ian Naden converted and Macquarie tore the hearts out of Westside Rabbitohs’ supporters with a try by fullback Wayne Merritt in extra time to claim a famous victory.

Westside had formed a few years earlier and was filled with

ex-Macquarie players including captain/coach Brett Milton, Bert Gordon, Shaun Gibson and Ross McDermott and were playing in their fourth grand final in five years after winning back-to-back in 1981 and ‘82.

The man known as ‘The Marshall” had played under master coach Noel Sing for most of his first grade career and was rapt to lead the established club to victory against many former teammates.

The teams were: Macquarie: Wayne Merritt, Ricky Knight, Murray Glass, Marshall Peachey (C/c), Ian Naden, Brian Clarke, Mark Merritt, Greg Egan, Greg Edwards, Mark Collier, Martin Peachey, Colin Young, George Trudgett (d).

Westside: Trevor Williams, Kevin Richardson, Craig Warrington, Brett Milton (C/c), Richie Simpson, Garry Walker, Duncan Ward, Bert Gordon, Shaun Gibson, Warwick Rapley (d), Phillip Simpson, Ross McDermott, Adrian Daley.

The final score: Macquarie 28 (Murray Glass, Martin Peachey, Mark Collier, Greg Edwards, Wayne Merritt tries; Ian Naden 4 goals), d Westside 24 (Kevin Shepherdson, Bert Gordon, Shaun Gibson, Paul Barrow tries; Richie Simpson 4 goals) In Reserve Grade, NSW and Parramatta fullback Laurie Wakefield coached the Spacemen to a 24-20 win over CYMS while Macquarie downed CYMS 15-12 in the Juniors.
