MIKLA Lewis OAM was awarded the Wattle Day Award 2024 for her conservation work over the last 40 years.
The Golden Wattle Award is awarded annually by the Wattle Day Association to an individual who stands out in the community, either by actions or excellence, and has brought hon-
our and inspiration to their fellow Australians.
Mikla Lewis said the award was a big surprise and was delighted to receive the recognition.
Ms Lewis said she would also like to thank the Wattle Dy Association for the award and for the wonderful job they do promoting wattles.
The award was presented at the Arboretum in Canberra by Dr Suzette
Searle, President of the Wattle Day Association on August 31.
Ms Lewis said she feels by accepting these awards she can inspire and educate other people, which is what she’s strived to do.
“Mikla’s support with workshops, surveys and field days is a real asset to Weddin Landcare. It’s great to see her work acknowledged with such an appropriate award,” Claire Diprose,
Local Landcare Coordinator said.
“We are honoured to be part of the annual wattle walks Mikla initiated 13 years ago and to see her passion for wattles and conservation continue to be shared with so many.” Ms Diprose said.
“We had a great turn out at the Wattle Day event this year, with 30 attendees and next year is shaping up to be even better,” she added.

Class growing food in Airgardens
At Grenfell Public School, Stage 2 students are getting a taste of the future of farming with their weekly science lessons led by Mrs ‘Professor’ Makin. This term’s unit, ‘Living World,’ has introduced these young scientists to the cutting-edge world of aeroponics - a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich mist instead.
The class is diving into this hands-on experience with the Stem.T4L Aeroponics Kits, an innovative tool that allows students to cultivate a variety of vegetables and herbs in a controlled environment. From broccoli and cauliflower to carrots, capsicum, and various herbs, the students are not just learning about plants - they’re watching them grow from seeds to full-grown vegetables right outside classroom.
Aeroponics differs from traditional horticulture by using a system where water trickles over the roots of up to 60 plants. This setup maximizes oxygen absorption and accel-
erates growth rates.
The two modular grow towers outside the classroom allow the students to observe the plant’s needs and the differences between aeroponics and conventional growing methods.
Students began their journey by planting seeds in Airgarden grow plugs made from coconut fibre, eliminating the need for soil. Over the course of 1-2 weeks, they watched as their seeds sprouted and developed roots. The real excitement came when the Airgardens were assembled.
Following step-by-step instructions, students learned about the various components including the water pump, hoses, and tower system.
They filled the towers with water and placed their seedlings into the Airgarden, eagerly anticipating the next stages.
The towers are set to a timer that activates every 15 minutes, ensuring that water drips over the seedlings to nourish them.

Book Week fun at Caragabal School
All of the latest news from week six of term three at Caragabal Public School.
FROM MR JONES
Last Friday, our school was bursting with excitement as we celebrated Book Week under the enchanting theme “Reading is Magic.”
Students and staff embraced the magic of literature by dressing up as their favourite book characters, creating a colorful and captivating scene throughout the day.
We finished off our day with an assembly, which was masterfully conducted by April and Eddie.
It was truly wonderful to have our families and community members join us, adding to the joy and spirit of the occasion.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in and supported our Book Week celebrations.
Your enthusiasm brought a touch of magic to the day, making it truly memorable!
We’d also like to extend a huge thank you to all the parents who joined us for the mosaic session on Monday.
The children had a fantastic afternoon unleashing their creativity and collaborating with our community to create a beautiful piece of artwork for our school.
Your participation made the event a wonderful success.
As the weather warms up, please remember to send your child to school with a hat each day.
ical scientific practices such as monitoring the pH levels of the water, which is crucial for healthy plant growth.
Through testing and adjusting the pH levels, they gain valuable insights into the needs of plants and the importance of maintaining the right conditions for optimal growth.
“The kids are thrilled to see their plants growing and are really invested in the whole process,” Mrs Makin commented.
“This project not only teaches them about plant biology but also emphasises sustainability and the potential of future farming technologies.”
Although harvest time is still a while away, the students are excited to reap the fruits of their labour and use their vegetables and herbs in our school kitchen.
The aeroponics project at Grenfell Public School extends beyond a science lesson – it provides a glimpse into the future of agriculture through learning and discovery.
Everything is ready for great fun at
Caragabal Sheep Races this weekend
While it may be the day to cast your vote in the local government elections, the Coopers Farm Gear Caragabal Sheep Races are set to return this Saturday, September 14.

Become a firefighter
NSW Fire and Rescue’s Grenfell Brigade is looking for members
By BRENDAN MCCOOL
For those looking to help out the Grenfell community when it is in need, the Grenfell station of NSW Fire and Rescue is looking for more on call firefighters to join its ranks.
Fire and Rescue NSW will be recruiting for the Grenfell station through until the end of September.
On Call firefighter Charmaine Roth said the role is more than just about dealing with fires, it’s also about community engagement.
They are looking for people who are fairly fit and healthy who are willing to put their hands up to become a firefighter.
It is a job with plenty of flexibility, with it being a part time role and people can put in their availability for when they can jump on to the firetruck.
Ms Roth said it the role is good for those looking for flexibility in the workplace and would be good for anyone looking for a second job or is able to respond from work.
As an on-call firefighter at Grenfell Fire Station, you will
receive a basic retainer plus payment for all training, emergency call outs and community activities that you are involved with.
While the brigade covers Grenfell, firefighters are occasionally called on to assist other organisations such as the RFS or SES outside the town limits.
On call firefighter Isabel Holmes said it is a very rewarding job that is very community based.
Ms Roth said it is a very teambased role which also gives members a chance to learn new skills and qualifications which can be used to help the community.
While the job is very community based, Ms Holmes said a challenge can be the fact that many of the people they get called on to help may be known and having to get in the right mindset to undertake the job.
Applications close September 30. To find out more or to put your hand up to become an on-call firefighter go online to https://careers.fire.nsw.gov. au/jobs/on-call-firefighter-rs2308-grenfell-_no-location-nswaustralia-jindabyne
Mikla Lewis presented with Golden Wattle Award
■ Continued from the front page.
Ms Lewis said her interest in nature began when she was growing up near bushland in Sydney and going on bushwalks with her father and brother.
While she trained as a teacher, Ms Lewis said she spent most of her working life - and after - working with plants, animals and fungi whether that was through setting up various originations, working with organisations, working at botanic gardens and herbariums.
After moving to Grenfell, Ms Lewis said she always wanted to set up a nursery, initially on their property at Rosemont, but they didn’t have the water out there.
Ms Lewis was working for the Lachlan Catchment Management Authority at the time, and finally found the site for the nursery and helped get it up and running in 2010 - which has turned into the Weddin Community Native Nursery.
Ms Lewis said there was no real inspiration which initially got her into wattles, but when she and her husband moved to their property in 2002, they started planting it as it was originally a cropping and sheep farm.
“We just started planting and when you plant local natives it’s usually wattles and eucalypts, that’s what you can purchase,” she said. They mostly planted wattles and eucalypts along with a few other natives.
Around the time, Ms Lewis said w
learned a lot from Rainer Rehwinkel, a well known ecologist, and he helped to run the first two wattle days at Rosemont in 2010.
Over the last 20 years since beginning planting wattles and other native plants on the property, Ms Lewis said she has recorded over 141 species of birds visiting the area along with 11 species of frogs, 14 species of mammals, 24 species of reptiles and 26 species of butterflies.
The members of the Wattle Day Association are planning to come to Grenfell to celebrate Wattle Day next year.
This will include the launch of the Wattles of Weddin guidebook that Mikla is currently working on with Weddin Landcare.
The guidebook will detail the common Wattles found in Weddin and include flowering times, plus a map with the best places to see wattles in the region.
Weddin Landcare’s next event is Bird Bingo with Birding NSW at Company Dam on Sunday September 29.
Meeting at the carpark at 8:30am, attendees will play a round of bingo with the bird experts and first to mark off all their birds win a prize.
The winner will receive a birding identification book and bird attracting plant from the Weddin Community Native Nursery.
Let Claire know if you would like to attend at weddinlandcare1@outlook.com or 0421 716 170.
Suzette Searle congratulates Mikla Lewis on receiving the Golden Wattle Award.

host September meeting
Our September meeting held at Jan Holland’s home was wellattended. As well as routine matters raised, members’ attention was drawn to a number of events of interest to members that are being organised by Weddin Landcare in September and October, as they encourage exploration of the stunning wildlife and flowers in the Grenfell area.
Afternoon tea offered an excellent selection of cakes and slices, as usual, and the warm, sunny weather encouraged us to take a pleasant walk around Jan’s extensive grounds and well-kept gardens. A bonus was spotting blue-faced honey-eaters around the place.
Our first trading table proved a success, with a range of items from baby rhubarb plants to DVDs available.
Our next meeting on Tuesday, October 1, at 2 p.m., will be held at Wendy Johnson’s house, 85 Berrys Road.

VOTE 1 JAN PARLETT Community Culture Contribution
All signs point to welcome to Weddin
Member for Riverina, the Hon. Michael McCormack inspected the Weddin Entry Signage with Mayor Craig Bembrick and General Manager Noreen Vu last week.
The project is nearing completion with the installation of one more sign on Goolongong Road and for the contractors to return and install solar lights on the installations.
The designs replicate the night sky, birds, wildlife and farming that makes us uniquely Weddin.
The future installation of solar lights will allow commuters to see the replication of the night sky through the metal work.
The project will also involve decommissioning of the old Weddin Signage at 22 locations.
The project was jointly funded by the Federal Local Roads and Community Infrastructure fund and the NSW Government Stronger Country Communities Fund funding for 22 signs.
The grant funded locations and a closer look at the designs can be found online at the Weddin Shire Council website which you can find at https://www. weddin.nsw.gov.au/

PUBLIC NOTICE | COMPANY DAM
Weddin Shire Council advises residents and visitors that blue-green algae has reappeared at Company Dam. We urge everyone to refrain from any contact with the water until further notice due to the presence of this algae.
Blue-green algae naturally occurs in lakes and dams, thriving in warm, nutrient-rich waters with sunlight exposure. Recent rainfall followed by warmer temperatures has created favourable conditions for its growth. Unfortunately, this has led to increased levels at Company Dam.
Blue-green algae impacts a number of lakes and dams across the state. Council Officers are actively monitoring the situation to ensure community safety. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your cooperation.
For more information, please contact Council’s Environmental Services team on (02) 6343 1212.
LIVVI’S PLACE AT TAYLOR PARK, GETTING SET TO GET UNDERWAY
Council is excited to inform the community that the Taylor Park redevelopment project is progressing, with Council procuring some of the large key play pieces in the last month through competitive tender and quote processes.

STICKY NIGHTSHADE | HOW DOES THIS WEED AFFECT US?
Sticky nightshade is an invasive plant that competes with crops and pastures. prevents native plants from growing, has sharp prickles which can injure people, pets, livestock and native animals, can make harvesting difficult (e.g. in vineyards), has seeds which are poisonous to humans, contains toxins and is suspected to have caused cattle deaths.
Look for it:
• in pastures and on cultivated land
• along waterways and roadsides
• in dry sclerophyll forests on steep rocky slopes.
What does it look like?
Sticky nightshade is an erect plant up to 1.5 m high. Most of the plant is covered in hairs and prickles.
Prickles are yellow to red, up to 1.3 cm long, and very sharp.

Progress on bridges
Central NSW Joint Organisation is pleased to announce the progress of the NSW Government grant funded bridge inspection project, aimed at enhancing the safety and durability of regional infrastructure.
This region successfully secured over $560,000 through the Fixing Country Roads Program to assess 33 bridges and culverts in 5 Local Government Areas.
This initiative focuses on thorough assessments of bridge decks and undersides, a crucial step in ensuring the longevity and reliability of the region’s transport networks.
To date, the data acquisition and site works of the bridge decks and underside of the bridges is underway within the Lithgow, Oberon, Forbes, and Cowra shires. The project is now set to advance to the next phase, with inspections scheduled to commence in the Weddin shire this month.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Jenny Aitchison, said route assessments like these are a crucial part in future planning for our transport networks across the state. Investigations help to determine the load rating of existing structures and confirm the suitability of the network to
handle higher load limits.”
“We know the efficient movement of freight is critical to the NSW economy, and these assessments are an important first step the Minns Labor government is proud to be investing in. I commend the Central NSW Joint Organisation for working together to complete these inspections that will inform network improvements into the future,” she said.
Cr Kevin Beatty, Chair of Central NSW Joint Organisation, said this project underscores the region’s dedication to enhancing regional infrastructure and safeguarding the wellbeing of our communities. It aims to open up freight routes where possible to, Cr Beatty said.
The dynamic testing will assess the bridges and culverts for a range of axle loading combinations and the reports received will provide cost estimates for maintenance and repair.
With this information the transport routes throug the region will be opened up, transport costs to industry and agriculture will improve, time and cost for the assessment of freight transport routes will be reduced and most importantly, safety will be improved.
Locals part of next steps towards Livvi’s Place at Taylor Park
Council is excited to inform the community that the Taylor Park redevelopment project is progressing, with Council procuring some of the large key play pieces in the last month through competitive tender and quote processes.
As part of Council’s efforts to engage local business and contractors in the creation of the new playspace and park upgrade, Council held an open information session on August 29 for trades who might be interested in being involved with the project.
There was a fantastic roll up of 12 contractors interested in hearing about the project and the scope of works required to make it happen. With others indicating they were unable to attend the meeting but would still be interested in providing quotes.
Council are looking forward to utilising local contractors as much as possible to assist with the project.
Council staff were joined by Kim Becherand from the Touched by Olivia Foundation, who are in partnership with Council to deliver a Livvi’s Place, inclusive playspace, for children, youth, the local community and wider district. Also in attendance were Shareen Alford and Sue Montier from sala4D, who are supporting the project delivery.
Emphasis was placed on encouraging local contractors to share their expertise when quoting. Delivery will require all contractors working together, through the council’s project management team, to ensure we build a schedule that is efficient and
effective for all involved, will meet delivery deadlines, and be something that everyone in the community can be a part of and proud of.
“It was so wonderful to have so much local expertise gathered at the start of the project.” said Kim Becherand. “The devil is in the detail with inclusive playspace delivery, doing things differently to ensure that we get better outcomes, and that we create a space that is safe, welcoming and usable for everyone. Just as the community was deeply engaged to design this space, we now see the local contractors willing to get behind the creation of the playspace and wider park amenity - together we are building a place that will be owned and loved by all for many generations to come”.
A project plan is being developed for the stages in which the work will commence. There are a number of upcoming community events held in Taylor Park such the Combined Church’s Carols in December and the Australia Day Ceremony in January that need to be taken into consideration.
The project will be broken up into various stages, with stage 1 underway in the coming month and completed before the Christmas Carols in December 2024. Any works unable to be finished by this time will be in stage 2 which will take place after Australia Day 2025, to ensure we still have full use of the park for these events.
Notices for the Request for Quotes across the various aspects of the project will be advertised via the Gren-
fell Record, Councils website and Councils social media. We encourage anyone interested in being a part of this exciting project for the community to apply. We will require trades in concreting, landscaping, building, arborists, etc.
Council is also planning a number of ways in which the community can be involved in the project such as, creating message poles with the children and youth and a community planting day. More details will be announced closer to the time.
Visit the Council website to keep up to date with this project. You will also find the engagement report and concept plans (Master Plan) located there.

CANDIDATES FOR WEDDIN
Our Council candidates: Jeanne Montgomery
Having lived in the Weddin Shire for 20 years, and originally moving to the area so my husband could take a position with Council as overseer, I have seen both sides of the table. I believe my life experiences, professional and personal, as well as having raised my family in the area, combined with the interests I have within the community put me in a great position to represent a wide range of Weddin Shire residents and see a wide range of angles when it comes to making decisions that are going to benefit not
only the whole community, but continue to improve Council and Weddin Shire as a whole.
Honesty, integrity and perseverance. I believe in being professional, proactive and I am committed to the Weddin Shire and doing what is right for my community. I believe in listening, educating and understanding as well as working together and uniting to better the Weddin Shire for all.
The community. Each and every day locals who may or may not know each other work together to build each
other up, to lend a helping hand and to come together in times of need. The community not only stands together when it is time to celebrate, they also stand together during the hard times and that inspires me to continue to grow. My community makes me proud to be a part of it.
Originally from Sydney, where I had worked in the printing industry, I moved to Adelaide for a few years.
I moved to Cumnock in Cabonne Shire when I married my husband and was involved with committees
Council candidates: Simon Rolls
Having watched the previous councils of the Weddin Shire and the progress they have made, I felt inspired to contribute further to this and to the advancement and growth of the Weddin Shire.
Some of the main reasons I am standing for council are:
Growth: Building on the major achievements of the previous two councils and continuing with their momentum to help build further to the many amenities that our Shire has to offer.
Infrastructure: Ensuring that our town’s and village’s beautiful heritage and buildings are maintained and preserved. Striving for our Shire’s road network to
be repaired and maintained to a standard we can all be proud of.
Tourism: I believe with positive achievements in the Shire’s growth and Infrastructure management, coupled with the many local organisations and existing assets that we can continue to build and grow the existing level of tourism that our Shire currently boats. Who inspires me? This is a tough question to answer because there are so many people who have impacts on our lives. I am inspired by anyone who achieves great things with a positive outcome without need or want for any accolades or recognition. I have been a local of
Grenfell for the majority of my life, having gone to school here and spent most of my adult life here. After a short stint abroad I returned to Grenfell and have settled back to build my life here. I have a background in the financial services industry, including Banking, Financial Planning and Mortgage management.
Twelve months ago I took ownership of two local School Bus runs so I have a big interest in the survival and growth of Grenfell and the surrounding Shire. I have two other customer facing jobs that have enabled me to engage with and listen to what locals feel is important.
within the Cabonne area that looked at child care services and also food services for the elderly.
Over 20 years ago my husband, children and I moved to the Weddin Shire.
I worked with local accountants Gibson and Co for over a decade, my husband worked with Weddin Shire Council for over 15 years, my children attended The Henry Lawson High School, played sports and have all settled close to the area with their own families.
Throughout the years I have taken part in the Weddin
Mountain Muster, been part of The Henry Lawson Festival Committee, was the Ring Master for the Grenfell Show for a few years and have been a member of the Grenfell Senior Citizens Welfare Committee Inc and have been the treasurer for 12 years.
I am now an active member within the fantastic community of the Grenfell Family Church.
I believe I have the understanding, skills and experience for the role of councillor to enhance the Weddin Shire in continuing in its progressive growth.

The biggest hurdles this council will face is trying to remain financially sustainable considering the ever-increasing cost shifting measures that the higher tiers of government seem to pursue. I urge you to vote for councillors that are community minded and are ready to take on these bigger issues.

CANDIDATES FOR WEDDIN
Meet Colleen Gorman Meet Michelle Cook
I am running for Council because I have always been community minded and love working with others towards a shared vision that contributes to my community. I am highly motivated, possess strong communication skills, extensive leadership experience and I will bring a new perspective to Council decisionmaking.
I am a team player, who is open to change when change will benefit Weddin, and I will stand accountable for my decisions.
I am married to John, mother to Joel, Kris and Courtney. I am passionate about family, teaching, all things Science, and photography.
I arrived in Grenfell as a Science Teacher over 40 years ago, and quickly became Apex Queen for the Henry Lawson Festival. I continued on the Festival Committee for several years and worked closely with Rotary, during 8 years on the Executive of Grenfell Rotaract Club. My leadership includes Grenfell Gun Club Secretary (14yrs), President of Grenfell Preschool (3yrs), President Soccer Club (7yrs) - I acquired the funding to build the current Canteen & Change rooms; Junior Soccer Coach (16yrs); Cubs & Scouts (4yrs), and ‘Friend of Rotary’.
I grew up in the farming community of Purlewaugh, near Coonabarabran, and understand the issues faced by local villages. In recent years, I have taught at Quandialla, Caragabal, and Bribbaree Public Schools and if elected, I would welcome opportunities to represent Weddin Council at School and Village events. The removal of electoral Wards means that local villages are under-represented on Council. If elected on 14th September, I intend to be a spokesperson for the Weddin village communities.
I believe in “looking forward” - promoting Weddin tourism, heritage, and population growth by attracting people and industry to the Weddin Shire.
I am ready and excited for this Challenge and I hope I inspire your confidence.
Meet Julie Gilmore Meet Warwick Frame
I am running for council again as I had a shortened term last time and would like to achieve a few more things in the next term. I want to work on growing the town and firming up council policy and procedures so actions in the past cannot be repeated.
I have strong feelings about disabled access in our shire and want to retain and increase services to the area.
I have been visiting relatives in Grenfell since my childhood. In 2007 my wife and I decided to move from Lithgow as it was getting to citified. This happened in early 2008 and I started my own electrical contracting business. I have been a member of our local SES since moving here and enjoy helping people.
Why are you running for Council?
I have worked with many Councils over the years for Community events and find myself always willing to help community groups come together to create a sustainable and strong sense of teamwork which in my mind always has a positive and successful outcome for a town as a whole.
In a few words tell us what you stand for:
I stand and speak from what I know and have lived. A single mother of two, a survivor of domestic violence and a person who lives with permanent mobility disabilities. I have always believed that helping others is a pathway to healing oneself.
Who inspires you?
I am inspired by those who work behind the scenes, without spotlight or ‘fame’ they continue to pledge their abilities by remaining honest and reliable. My belief in myself stems from my history but also being aware of my capabilities and working towards encouraging others to find their own strengths.
Tell us a little about yourself.
I have lived in Grenfell for the past 5 years. My parents lived in Grenfell in the mid 1950’s and my brother was born here, this in itself gives me a strong bond with The Weddin Shire but also the welcome and acceptance of who I am has given me a feeling of home here.
Meet Chad White
I have been nominated to be a representative for the Weddin Shire to be a voice with action.
I hold a strong passion for this community and would love to see the Weddin Shire prosper in so many ways, the Weddin Shire deserves a VOICE WITH ACTION to help keep sustainability within this community and a stronger future for generations to come.
I stand for the following:
Health: as collaboration has already begun to secure more doctors and other health-related services for this community, I will keep these talks going and move them into action, this will see a healthier community and create more job prosperity in years to come.
Connectivity: my vision is to establish a bus service be-
tween our villages and neighboring towns, the aim for this is to break isolation, connect people, provide people with a means of transportation for work opportunities, and help further job prosperity.
Road Safety and Maintenance: our roads are the heart and key of the community, so maintaining our roads for our residents, school bus service, our farm-
“Do the work and the respect will come” Susan Ryan AO.
I have had the courage to ask questions, seek answers, and shine a light as I said I would do.
Having put up my hand to represent you, I write submissions and put forward motions, at times with plenty of pushback, to ensure community interests are heard, are the priority.
When I was first elected, I learnt the ropes in my own time and at my own expense completing Australia Community Directors course and LGNSW/UTS Executive Certificate. I attended conferences, forums, and was asked to represent the regional voice in housing consultations.
I am also the Deputy Chair at Central Tablelands Water - CTW recently awarded NSW Most Improved Water Utility.
I believe I am making a difference. I hope my passion shines through, my best intentions, commitment, and tolerance clear to see.
I hope my understanding of the financials are recognised as a key strength, needed for elected representatives of Weddin. When I noticed discrepancies, anomalies, I sought clarification. A Council exists to serve the community.
I would be honoured to have the opportunity to serve this community for a second term. I will continue to be a strong independent.
In reflecting on what is politics, I am inspired by Jacinda Ardern, politics does not have to be aggressive or adversarial.
“I really rebel against the idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you’re constantly focused on scoring hits against each other. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong and you can be kind”. Maybe that is the goal, as a new Council is elected.
I am an artist (have sold paintings and won an award locally) I am also an entertainer (singing) at many local events both public and private.
I am the current Secretary for The Grenfell Men’s Shed (12 months) and have enjoyed the role enormously.
I was the Secretary for Weddin NAIDOC for 2 years and am now Assistant Secretary for the next 12months.
I find the meeting of people and learning what they can offer to benefit others, exciting and rewarding.
Being a respected resident that can reach out to others, that can be approached with ease and can speak on behalf of Community is my goal.
ers and also our tourist is important to the safety of all.
Youth: we need to provide more incentives for our youth to help combat their mental health and drug and alcohol abuse, I would like to see a youth center established, and more sporting opportunities such as an athletics precinct, basketball court, and a bike track. We also need to provide more work-related incentives for the youth to help them achieve their career goals.
Tourism:
I would like to support our
Julie Gilmore.
villages in establishing key events as their signature, as Grenfell hosts the Henry Lawson Festival of Arts and the Grenfell Show, these are signature to Grenfell, such as Caragabal hosts the annual sheep race and the camp oven cook-off
It’s the people of the Weddin Shire who inspire me, along with the pioneers who established this community, and the pioneers who are still fighting to achieve one goal and that is to make the Weddin Shire number one in destination and the best part
of gods country to reside in, to raise your family. I have resided in the Weddin Shire for nearly eight years, I was born in Maitland NSW, and my parents have a background in the Ag sector and Nursing. My career started with nursing after leaving school, then I moved into hospitality management, from this I moved to Grenfell to be with my partner and found my calling which led me into the work of mental health and suicide prevention, I also work at the local IGA in Grenfell.
Colleen Gorman.

Tamworth trainer Melissa Dennett and apprentice Siena Grima were off to a successful start to the day when combining with Super Sioux in the 800 metres Class 2 Handicap.
After tracking the leader Kimo, Super Sioux (Siena Grima, $4.60) broke clear and won by nearly three lengths from Redline (Shannen Llewellyn.$3) with Ithicsus ( Mikayla Weir, $2.) third
after missing the start. Gunnedah trainer Sally Torrens finished the day with a flourish by winning the final events with Omikami and Via Rose.
Following instructions to ride a “cold” race on Omikami, Shannen Llewellyn eased her mount to last and Omikami ($4.20) then ran home strongly to beat Firefinch (Georgina McDonnell, $2.20 fav.) and Spradax (Siena Grima, $5) in the 1500 metres Greenhalgh Cup Maiden Plate.
Shayleigh Ingelse joined Shannen Llewellyn as the rider of a winning double at the meeting when Via Rose ($8) rushed home from the tail of the field to win the 1500 metres McGirr Family Hotels Class 2 Handicap from Chookster (Andrew Banks, $3.50) and Big Shot Legend (Jessica Brookes, $2.40 fav.).
The Collarenebri Cup meeting and Geurie Picnics are scheduled for Saturday and the Bathurst Cup (TAB) on Sunday.
