Thousands embrace popular Easter events

Cooma’s retail sector boosted

By NATHAN THOMPSON COOMA businesses trading over the Easter long weekend say it was worthwhile opening their doors with the four-day holiday bringing a much needed boost to the town’s retail sector.

After a challenging few months, CBD based Bush Basics owner Bek said the Easter weekend delivered a timely spike in trade.

“We opened everyday over the weekend and I’m pleased we did,” she said.

“Saturday was really busy. It’s a needed boost after the last couple of months.”

Easter Saturday was the busiest day of the weekend for NewsXpress, located on the corner of Sharp and Vale Streets.

Shayne Clarke, business owner, said there was a constant flow of traffic through Cooma each day, and on Saturday, his business experienced one of its best days.

“Saturday was flat-out. We are very happy that we opened on Saturday, Sunday and Monday,” Mr Clarke said.

“Sunday was also busy, there were a lot of people coming through town each day.

“It was well worth opening.”

The decision to open over the weekend also paid off for Mainstreet Clothing on Sharp Street.

“The traffic was consistent all weekend. Retail trade was very good,” Mainstreet owner Simon Bolton said.

“We are lucky to be a tourist town. Easter is always good.

“It’s beneficial to our business and town to be open over the weekend.”

Towns, villages at their busiest over g weekend long COME the Easter long weekend, there is no shortage of events and activities on offer in the Snowy Monaro.

This year’s Easter weekend was no exception as the region enjoyed one of its busiest periods in the last 12-months.

Businesses have reported a timely boost in trade, and the community organisations who ran popular Easter events have declared the weekend one of the finest.

Four days of glorious weather and a host of exciting events for the whole family to enjoy, saw record crowds attend events throughout the region.

The Berridale Lions Club celebrated its 50th Easter fair in style with more stall holders and visitors than ever before.

Berridale Lion and one of the event’s organisers, Iain Schofield, said the fair was the best they have staged.

“It was a great day out. There were plenty of stalls to browse and the weather really topped it off for a perfect fair day,” Mr Schofield said.

Well attended Easter events took place in Adaminaby, Bredbo, Berridale, Cooma, Delegate and other towns and villages in the region.

World War II diaries donated

By NATHAN THOMPSON COOMA’s Malcolm Rose has generously donated three books to the Cooma Library, each detailing the Word War 2 experiences of his late father, a British prisoner of war (POW).

Malcolm’s father - William Cyril Rose - was a sergeant in the Royal Air Force. He was taken prisoner in Java in 1942 and in the months and years to follow, produced one of the most meticulous war diaries historians have seen. Bill detailed what life was like as a POW at the hands of the Japanese.

Malcolm has donated the books Endurance throug hope volume one: the story - a historical wartime record based on Bill’s diaries from 19401946, Endurance through Hope volime two: the verbatim diary; and You Shook My Hand from the Once Upon a Wartime series..

Each of thes ebooks can now be found in the COoma Library.

The Endurance Through Hope books were the culmination of Bill’s bravery and his excellent record over the year he was a POW. The trigger for the publication for the books was a chance meeting near Bill’s home on the 50th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day. Bill casually mentioned to a stranger at a small community event he had kept detailed dia-

This stranger just happened to be a curator at the Imperial War Museum in London.

His interest was immediately piqued and the process to bring these important and unique diaries to the world started.

“I vividly remember dad transcribing the microscopic pencil writing on his kitchen

table for eventual typing,” Malcolm said.

“He worked with Derek Peachy an ex Royal Australian Navy officer, to put his experiences into the complex contextual timeframe of the progress of the war to balance the ‘duff gen’ that was in use in the POW camps.

“Dad’s war promoted his amazing traits of detailed record keeping, fighting depress with busyness, innate Chris-

tian kindness and concern for his fellow prisoners and tenacity to survive. He was officially mentioned in dispatches for his enduring conduct during captivity.”

Fiona Wharton of the Cooma Library has welcomed the donations.

“We are very appreciative of Malcolm’s donations of these interesting and important books. They add significantly to our collection.”

RFS issues warning THE NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) has extended the statutory Bushfire Danger Period in the Snowy Monaro local government area due to continuing dry conditions.

NSW RFS Inspector Langdon Gould said the Bush Fire Danger Period usually ends on March 31, but had been extended this year due to the combination of prevailing dry conditions and cured vegetation growth in the Monaro Rural Fire District.

“The extension means anyone wishing to light a fire in the Snowy Monaro Regional local government area will still require a fire permit and undertaking of burn notifications,” Inspector Gould said.

“Fire permits are free and available from your local fire station or Fire Control Centre.

“Residents must also notify neighbouring land owners and their local fire authority at least 24 hours prior to burning.”

Inspector Gould said the decision to extend the Bush Fire Danger Period was made in consultation with local RFS Senior Officers and land management agencies.

The safety of all Snowy Monaro residents is paramount, and we have acted accordingly by extending the Bush Fire Danger Period until April 30.

“Now is not the time for anyone to become complacent about the risk of bush and grass fires, and we urge all residents to have a completed Bush Fire Survival Plan available, and to report any unattended fires they see to Triple Zero (000) immediately,” he said.

The last week has been a busy time for RFS crews with multiple grassfires igniting.

On Tuesday March 27, a fire near the Cooma airport at Arable and at the Cooma Golf Club required multiple crews to extinguish.

Peak View crash prompts calls for improved training RFS communication i i p policies li i need d review: i NSW Coronerr

By NATHAN THOMPSON THE deaths of three United States aerial firefighters at Peak View during the Black Summer bushfires has led to the NSW Coroner recommending the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) strenghten its training and communication procedures when tasking and communicating with large firefighting aircraft.

NSW Coroner Teresa O’Sullivan delivered her findings on Wednesday March 27 from the Coronial inquiry into the 2019/20 NSW Bushfires.

Twenty-eight recommendations were handed down, ten of these relating to RFS interactions with its state air desk and the procedure for tasking very large and large aerial tankers. Substantial evidence was provided to the inquiry over the fatal accident of Bomber 134 (B134).

United State firefighters Ian McBeth, Paul Hudson and Rick deMorgan Jr were killed when B134 crashed at Peak View on January 23, 2020, while fighting the Good Good Fire.

The coronial inquiry examined five key issues in re-

lation the aircraft crash.

1. Whether the tasking of firefighting aircraft to the Adaminaby and then Good Good firegrounds on January 23, 2020, was appropriate in light of the forecasted and known weather conditions.

2. Whether aircraft B134 was provided with sufficient and timely information on January 23, 2020, to enable the crew to make an informed decision as to whether it should accept the tasking to the Adaminaby and Good Good firegrounds.

3.

Whether tasking agencies or private contractors should take a more active role in providing weather data and other relevant flight information to pilots ahead of and during taskings.

4. Whether systems for communication between aircrafts and fire agencies are fit for purpose and used efficiently.

5. Whether the organisational culture and relationship between fire agencies and contracted aviation services unduly influences service demands.

INQUIRY: The NSW Coroner has handed down 28 recommendations, 10 of which involve improved RFS communications and tasking procedures stemming from the lead-up to the aircraft crash at Peak View on January 23, 2020.

PHOTO: NSW Police The inquiry heard evidence around the tasking of B134 from Richmond Air Base to initially fight the Adaminaby Complex Fire before being re-tasked to the Good Good Fire.

‘The circumstances of the tasking of B134 on 23 January 2020 require close examination, not only because of the tragic outcome for the crew on that day, but also because these inquests revealed a number of areas where there can

be improvement in the use of firefighting aircraft,’ Ms Sullivan said in volume one of NSW State Coroner Inquests and Inquiries into the 2019/20 NSW Bushfires Findings and Recommendations stated.

‘The initial tasking of B134 to Adaminaby was consistent with RFS procedures and appropriate in the circumstances at the time. Given the impending threat to life and property in the Adaminaby area un-

der the forecast weather conditions, it was seen as appropriate to task the LATs without formal documentary request, which was a situation contemplated and provided for in RFS operating manuals.

‘There is limited contemporaneous material before the Court going to the retasking of B134 to the Good Good fireground.’

Ms O’Sullivan’s first recommendation was - The NSW RFS review its training

for Aviation and Incident Management Roles and ensure (if it does not already) that the training emphasises that tasking decisions for very large air tankers and large air tankers are not to be made at a local Incident Management Team level, but at the level of State Operations.

‘Despite the failure to follow protocol in the re-tasking of B134, it should not be inferred that these failures contributed to the accident that occurred at the fireground,’ Ms O’Sullivan concluded.

The inquiry also presented evidence and findings from each fire in the Snowy Monaro local government area.

‘In total, the fires destroyed or damaged at least 70 structures in the towns of Adaminaby, Mount Morgan, Nungar, Shannons Flat, Rockton, Countegany, Jerangle and Numeralla,’ the inquiry found.

Further coverage on the recommendations from the NSW Bushfire Coronial Inquiry and details of the other fires in the Snowy Monaro region will be provided in next week’s paper.

Latest Berry Cottage nears completion

By TRISTA HEATH COMPLETION of the seventh Berry Cottage, at Berridale, is due in two weeks’ time as workers put the finishing touches on the community project.

Construction for the cottage began in May 2023, and has taken less than 12 months to complete using all local contractors and tradespeople.

Funding for the cottage has been provided by the Berridale Country Women’s Association (CWA) branch through the sale of the Berridale Hall in 2021.

Berridale CWA members Jean Smith and Pat Field said it took two years to get to the construction phase after getting all the necessary approvals through the foundation and Snowy Monaro Regional Council then trying to find available tradesmen to do the job.

“It has been a long trail of applications and approval to get the Berridale Cottage off the ground,” Ms Smith said.

“Nearing the completion there are only the finishing touches to go before the cottage is ready for its

S Kevin Biilmann, Jean Smith, Faye Smits, Pat Field and Bill Smits. new resident.”

Tasks include painting, electrical, plumbing, flooring and other small touches to transform the cottage into a comfortable, safe and spacious living quarters.

The cottages are the legacy of former Anglers Reach residents Ron and Amy Berry who believed that older people should be able to live with as much independence as possible and in honour

of the Berry’s the seventh cottage will be named Amy Berry CWA Cottage.

Berridale Cottages is a community housing project in Berridale, which provides independent tendered living for people who are aged and/or have

disabilities through the trust of Ron and Amy Berry and is run by Berridale Aged Centre Limited.

A celebration of the cottage completion will be held soon with further details to be released on a later date.

CAM welcomes vehicle legislation CLIMATE Action Monaro (CAM) has welcomed new legislation on efficiency standards for new vehicles introduced into Federal parliament despite the new laws being watered down following pressure from the auto industry.

The legislation is aimed at disincentivising the use of high-polluting cars and hastening the importation of cleaner vehicles.

CAM president Ross Martin says that, while the new laws are very welcome, they are long overdue.

“Europe and the US have had strong fuel efficiency standards for years now and their cars use far less fuel per 100km travelled,” Mr Martin said.

“On average, a new car sold in Australia uses 6.9 litres of fuel for each 100km compared with new cars in Europe and the US. “CAM would have liked to have seen ‘Option C’ implemented which would have delivered much stronger standards, ones which would have reduced greenhouse gas emissions significantly. The original ‘Option B’ which the government proposed wasn’t too bad but this was watered down to keep the car companies happy.

“Nevertheless, it is not a bad result. Emissions will be reduced which is what this

is all about. We face catastrophic climate change and it is critical we decarbonise all sections of the economy as soon as possible, not least transport.

“This legislation will hopefully see a shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) but we also need to have incentives that promote clean public transport such as electric buses and trams.”

Mr Martin says climate change is not just happening but every indicator is accelerating including air temperature, sea surface temperature, sea-level rise as well as loss of polar and glacial ice.

“This was confirmed by the recent World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report that confirmed that 2023 was the warmest year on record, with the global average nearsurface temperature at 1.5C above the pre-industrial baseline. It was the warmest ten-year period on record,” says Mr Martin.

“We are worryingly close to the Paris Agreement benchmark of 1.5C warming that scientists say we must not breach is we are to avoid tipping points and possible runaway global warming.

“Much more needs to be done to reduce emissions than introducing New Vehicle Efficiency Standards, but they are a welcome milestone in transition to Net Zero.”

Easter events deliver timely economic injection

Kristian White to front NSW Supreme Court

By TRISTA HEATH and NATHAN THOMPSON THE Snowy Monaro enjoyed one if its busiest weekends of the last 12-months as an influx of visitors saw record attendances at many of the region’s events.

Celebrating their 50th Easter Fair, the Berridale Lions Club said the 2024 event was their biggest fair yet.

Boasting more stalls than ever before, one of the event’s main organisers and Lion, Iain Schofield, said the crowd and weather made for the best fair in its 50-year history.

“It was a great day out, we had the Easter Bunny for the kids, plenty of stalls to browse and the weather really topped off a perfect fair day,” Mr Schofield said.

“Stall holders as far as Canberra and the South Coast joined all the locals to showcase their products and made some great sales.”

The Adaminaby Easter Fair attracted one of its largest crowds with around 2800 people visiting the fair.

Adaminaby’s community spirit was on show as not-forprofit groups ran popular food stalls to fund raise for their projects, and a host of activities took place to keep the whole family entertained.

Not to be outdone, Bredbo’s

SENIOR Constable Kristian Samuel White will appear in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday April 5 with the matter listed for arraignment.

White is accused of tasering 95-year-old Clare Nowland in her Yallambee Lodge residence in May 2023. Mrs Nowlnd died in Cooma Hospital a week after the alleged incident.

White fronted Cooma Local Court on Wednesday February 7 where his legal team indicated the police officer would plead not guilty to a charge of manslaughter.

The Cooma based police officer was initially charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and common assault.

NSW Police advised in a statement in November 2023, that following advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the state crime command’s homicide squad had upgraded the charges against 33-year-old White to a single charge of manslaughter.

White will appear before the Supreme Court for his arraignment. An arraignment involves reading out of the accused’s charges and a formal plea of either guilty or not guilty to each charge is entered.

White remains suspended from duty on pay.

All corners of the region were busy with visitors as towns and villages reported a productive

weekend for businesses.

In Delegate, its Easter duck race saw another strong crowd, providing a welcomed boost for the town’s economy.

Headlining Jindabyne’s events this year was the Jindabyne Lions Club’s Easter art show and sale. Hundreds

passed through the Jindabyne Memorial Hall doors to inspect and purchase pieces from some of the region’s best artists.

More coverage from the Easter weekend can be found on pages 12, 14 and 37, in addition to further coverage on this masthead’s new digital platform.

A MOTORCYCLIST has died following a crash with a B-double near Kiandra on Easter Saturday.

Emergency services were called to the Snowy Mountains Highway, at Sawyers Hill, at about 11.15am. First responders found the male rider had died at the scene.

Officers attached to the Monaro Police District took the male driver to Cooma Hospital for mandatory testing. At the time of going to print, no charges had been laid against the driver.

The highway was closed in both directions between Bugtown Road (near Adaminaby) and Link Road (near Kiandra) until 8.10pm on Saturday.

Record prizes for busking winners Professional f l recording d p g session up-for-grabs

By KAREN FORMAN A PROFESSIONAL recording session, $6000 in prizemoney and entry into the national championships are up for grabs at Cooma’s regional heat of the Australian National Busking Championships (ANBC) on April 27.

And for those who aren’t competing, there will be drumming and ukulele workshops, markets, a stage for performers who don’t want to compete and an after party where winners can perform in the evening.

Organiser Allan Spencer said all was shaping-up well for the April 27 event, with entries flowing in, including buskers from as far away as Melbourne and Sydney.

“I am really excited about our Cooma regional final,” he said.

“Local businesses have really supported the event, as always, and we are asking a lot of them with the two Cooma events, so we are very grateful. Two major sponsors Future Generation and Snowy Monaro Regional Council have come to the party again.

“Cooma local Laurent

Steiger from Rogue Ascent recording studio has offered a fantastic prize of a recording of either a multi-track single song with all the bells and whistles or a live recording in the studio of five songs, which is the length of an EP, so if someone wanted to have material for a CD, he will make that happen.

“This is an additional prize to the main competition, with Mr Steiger choosing the recipient. It will not be reliant on winning a place in the categories.

“He is a really community minded person and genuinely wants to support local up and coming musicians. He will be looking after sound on the day, having done the multi-cultural day and the national grand final.”

Mr Steiger, who moved to Cooma from Wollongong a couple of years ago, said he was pleased to support the ANBC. A musician and sound engineer, he mixes music for internationals as well as offering recording services in his studio in Cooma North.

He also plays punk style music at venues around town.

Can I use machinery in any grass, crop or stubble land? This includes driving vehicles or using machinery such as lawn mowers, whipper snippers, pumps and generators.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Yes, as long as any heated area of the machinery does not come in contact with combustible matter; The machinery is in a good and serviceable condition; The machinery is fitted with a spark arrestor and you have the following prescribed fire safety equipment on site; 16L minimum capacity knapsack spray pump filled with water; or 9L minimum capacity liquid fire extinguisher; or 0.9kg minimum capacity dry powder fire extinguisher.

You should also check with your insurance company to understand your policy and ‘duty of care’ should your machinery cause a fire on a Total Fire Ban day.

RECOMMENDATIONS • Avoid machinery use in dry grass on hot, dry, windy days • Consider early morning, avoid afternoons when the humidity is at its lowest • Permanent pumps and generators should be housed in a clear area • Call 000 immediately if you start a fire For more information, contact the Monaro District Fire Control Centre on ph.6455 0455 Or visit us on Facebook www.facebook.com/Monaro-Team-Rural-Fire-Service For current incidents or major fire updates visit www.rfs.nsw.gov.au

 BUSKING: Sound engineer and musician Laurent Steiger has offered a free recording session to a lucky musician playing at ANBC Cooma next month. PHOTO: Contributed.

Paul Mackay will offer a free drumming workshop at the ANBC Cooma, with emphasis on the PHOTO: Karen Forman health benefits of music.

“I will be looking for a musician preferably playing an original, who is creative, has good stage presence and has some business acumen in how they market themselves in the industry,” he said.

“I am looking for someone who may not have the following yet and needs some help in getting themselves out there.”

Mr Spencer encouraged buskers to get their entries in as soon as possible so he could start working on programming. He also requires musicians who would like to play non-competitively on the Centennial Park stage during the day to get in touch so he can make sure they receive a time slot.

“We are trying to draw people from the region, but also trying to get people from away as visitors boost the town, as they will bring family and friends and obviously require accommodation and food and fuel and beverages and retail, spending their money in town,” he said.

“ANBC Cooma promises to be a wonderful family day that offers free entertainment and free workshops.

“This year we have a wellness and health theme, and the workshops will look at how music can be used to enhance physical and mental wellbeing, held in the park, close to the busking action.

“Paul Mackay from the Cooma Multicultural Centre will run a drumming and uke workshop after the grand final success and Sue McPhee from the yoga centre will be offering yoga sessions.”

Winners will be announced on the park stage at 3pm and the winners can perform at the after party at the Alpine Hotel around 5pm.

However, as Mr Spencer says, the ANBC regional heats are not necessarily to find out who is the best, but to give aspiring musicians who may not necessarily want to be professionals, the opportunity to develop their skills in a supportive and fun environment.

“We have had some success stories. Denver made the top three in Australian Idol after performing at ANBC in 2020 at the Gladstone regionals. Others include Tones and I (who did not win the ANBC), Lucy Sugerman, Haystack Mountain Hermits (who won in 2019) and won Tamworth busking championships, The Inadequates, just to name some.”

Entry forms can be found at www.busking.com.au and categories including open, secondary, primary, people’s choice and special awards for best duo or group, the Michael Cook Award for buskers with a disability, special judges awards and encouragement awards.

Council briefs New paint job for troubled trout SNOWY Monaro Regional Council is seeking community feedback to help select the final paint design for the recently restored Adaminaby Big Trout.

The country’s most famous fish, created by renowned artist Andy Lomnici and unveiled in 1973, underwent extensive maintenance and restoration works in late 2023 to ensure its longevity.

The new paint scheme applied during the restoration raised some concerns within the community.

Council commissioned the designs, taking inspiration from the original design, community and well-known aquatic wildlife artist Trevor Hawkins on the direction, of the options that you can now select as the final paint job.

“The Big Trout holds a special place in the hearts of Adaminaby locals and people across the country,’ said Mayor Chris Hanna. ‘We want to ensure the final look does a better job of honouring this important landmark,” Snowy Monaro Mayor Chris Hanna said.

It’s now up to the public to decide which design will adorn this iconic sculpture for the long term. The community is invited to view the proposed designs and vote for their preferred option through an online survey at https://qrco.de/vote4atrout before 11:59pm on Sunday April 21.

The design that receives the most votes will be applied to the Big Trout sculpture by painters by mid-2024.

Alpine Lakes resuce unit keeps community safe

By TRISTA HEATH AS the weather starts to cool, Alpine Lakes Marine Rescue is warning lake goers to remain vigilant and prepared for changing conditions.

The last 12 months has been a relatively busy time for the crew who has responded to 13 incidents Alpine Lakes Unit Commander Cain Hopwood said the unit conducted two search and rescues in February and a total of 13 over the past 12 months.

“The vast majority of our incidents are break-downs. Typically, a flat battery on a ski boat, or a motor that has stalled and won’t start. The size of our lakes means that most boat’s secondary propulsions (oars) are just not good for getting a brokendown boat from Kalkite back to the boat ramp at Jindabyne. But we can help there,” Commander Hopwood said.

“Over the months of December and January we are at our busiest, school holidays brings a lot of visitors to the area, and boats that are not so frequently used, tend to fail.

“When planning to go out on the lake, apart from keeping up with boat maintenance and ensuring safety equipment such as flares and a torch are on-board, we recommend that people keep

As the Snowy Mountains enters the cooler months and the lake temperatures drop, Commander Hopwood urges lake goers to stay vigilant when onboard their boats.

“Don’t be afraid to call us if you’re stuck and call 000 if anyone is injured or suffering from hypothermia,” Commander Hopwood said.

In February, Marine Rescue NSW volunteers kept watch over 6,152 vessels that logged on with

the service either via the free Marine Rescue NSW app or VHF Channel 16 while radio operators managed 19,618 calls including 14 MAYDAYs and 6 PAN PANs. Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Alex Barrell said a few simple steps by boaters could go a long way to ensuring a safe and enjoyable day on the state’s waterways.

“It is important if you’re heading out on the water that you have the right safety equipment for your voyage, you’ve got enough fuel for your trip, you’ve Logged On with your local Marine Rescue NSW base and im-

portantly you’ve checked the local weather conditions,” Commissioner Barrell said.

“It has been an extremely busy last few months for our volunteers and I want to thank each of them for their continued dedication to making sure that we are saving lives on the water.”

Marine Rescue Alpine Lakes provides marine rescue services to Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene in the Snowy Mountains region.

The volunteer-based unit is always looking for new volunteers to take part and welcomes anyone wishing to join its ranks.

Feedback sought for active transport plan SNOWY Monaro Regional Council is seeking community input on a new draft Active Transport Plan, which proposes new footpath, trail and cycleway projects to improve and expand the region’s existing pedestrian and cycling network.

The draft plan has been developed on the back of community consultation undertaken in September 2023, which included a survey and a series of community workshops.

Members of the Snowy Monaro community provided valuable insight into the current condition of the region’s shared path network, areas of concern, and suggestions for path extensions and new links.

This revised draft incorporates the feedback Council received from the community in 2023, setting out in order of priority a plan for new shared path infrastructure to enhance pedestrian and cycling connectivity.

“Council invites the community to review the updated draft, and provide their feedback on the future of active transport in our region. This is an opportunity to identify any gaps in the proposal, and offer further comment on works planned for towns and villages across the region,” a Council spokesperson said.

The draft Active Transport Plan will assist Council in pursuing funding opportunities for the construction of new pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, as prioritised in the plan.

“Have your say today to help make cycling and walking safer, easier, and more connected in the Snowy Monaro. Visit the Council website to share your thoughts before submissions close on Sunday April 21,” the spokesperson said.

Council encourages all residents and visitors with an interest in active transport to have their say on the draft plan.

leads locals Volunteer group picks-up onPetra63km rubbish five tonnes of rubbish collection effort

By TRISTA HEATH

JINDABYNE’S Petra Richter is well known for her volunteer group ENJO Clean up Jindabyne who dedicate hours of their free time picking up rubbish along the side of roads.

Her biggest challenge and achievement yet was devoting five days, totalling 50 hours, collecting rubbish along the 63km stretch of road between Cooma and Jindabyne.

Joining in Petra’s dream to clean up the stretch of road, 25 community members volunteered their time including one couple who walked 6.5km picking up rubbish and filled a whole trailer

worth of trash all by themselves.

Petra said she wanted to inspire the community to stop using single use plastics and coffee cups and chose to complete this ‘adventure’ a week before Clean up Australia Day. Petra plans to do it again next year but bigger and better.

“This to me was an adventure with purpose, if you can’t help support us by picking up rubbish then I would like people to support us in different ways such as taking a keep cup for your coffee rather than using single use coffee cups and saying no to take away,” Petra said.

“We received so much

support from our community and we felt very valued in our efforts.

“We had many beeps and honks supporting us on these very hot days as well as members of the community dropping off food, lollies and cakes, it was truly amazing to see.”

A dream that started fouryears-ago, Petra turned her disappointed over the amount of rubbish discarded along the region’s roads into a mission to make Jindabyne clean and presentable.

The group collected more than five tonnes of rubbish, collected 280 bags of rubbish, filled six trailers full of trash, 15 yellow bins full of recycla-

bles, two trailers with steel and one with tyres and $228 worth of bottles and cans that were recycled into the return and earn containers.

It took the volunteers six and a half hours to unload and recycle all material with five people helping.

Generous local business owners backed the group through donating goods to say thank you for their valiant efforts.

Signs were donated to the group by Syd from Scout Design, Out of Bounds Pizza donated free pizzas after a long gruelling day, Meet Me Halfway coffee van gave out free coffees and the Wild Brumby Bar, Banjo Patterson Inn and Berridale Inn supplied cold

beverages as well as many more businesses who contributed with donations.

A community member unable to help the volunteers donated $150 and another $20 in thanks to their commitment.

“I am all about putting focus on the community and working together to making a difference,” Petra said.

“I want people to start thinking about what they are taking and say no to all things plastic and realise the importance of recycling but most of all let’s stop littering.”

The money raised from the return and earn will go into the volunteer group account to use on petrol so the volunteers can continue

t lli to t make k the th MonM travelling aro trash free.

Next year the ENJO Cleanup Jindabyne volunteer group, with Petra leading the way, aims to turn the five days ‘adventure with a purpose’ into a bigger and better event with volunteers focussing on the right side of the road this time.

Petra will speak at next month’s Snowy Monaro Regional Council meeting about her efforts and discuss thesponsorship form she applied for to get her own trailer and nets for future rubbish collection.

POST & RAIL LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

U3A welcomes all ages WHAT a terrific Easter weekend our region enjoyed.

With four beautiful days of warm weather and sunshine, the Snowy Monaro was certainly the place to be.

Well done to the organisers, volunteers and all who turned out for the many events on offer.

The Snowy Monaro can lay claim to being the duck racing capital of Australia each Easter with the Adaminaby, Delegate and Perisher duck races a hit.

At the Adaminaby Easter Fair, close to 3000 people were in attendance as the town showcased its community spirit.

Many of the visitors were from Canberra, demonstrating the importance the Capital region has to the town’s tourism sector. Locals are hoping the Bobeyan Road upgrades will be progressed to facilitate a quicker link between Adaminaby and the nation’s capital.

Feedback on the road project and the Big Trout re-design were two of the major discussion points at the council-run stall at the Adaminaby fair.

Much has been said on the process Council undertook to revamp the trout.

Following community concerns, Council committed to a re-design.

Council staff, Mayor Chris Hanna and Cr Tricia Hopkins fronted the council stall at the fair and discussed the path forward.

Many appreciated the opportunity to engage directly with Council.

The Berridale Lions Club hosted its 50th Easter Fair and once again, the event was popular with locals and visitors.

Since Covid-19, the fair has bounced back strongly with crowds improving each year.

In Bredbo on Easter Sunday, the sounds of engines filled the village for the truck and machinery show.

The Jindabyne Lions Club held their Easter art show and sale over the weekend This event has become a major tourist drawcard. What a weekend to be in the Snowy Monaro.

Wow, what a busy weekend. Time for a cuppa and a lie down.

I HAVE recently taken on the role as president of the Snowy Mountains branch of the University of the Third Age. I was appointed by the branch’s executive committee following the resignation of Mr Otik Uhlik for professional reasons.

We are currently in caretaker mode.

There has been a change in the international rules which means the University of the Third Age now welcomes students of any age over 18.

Previously, we concentrated on retired or more senior students.

We are calling for new members and happy to hold courses which suit the needs

of the community.

University of the Third Age is an international organisation and is nonpolitical, non-religious, and non-profit.

Our branch is based in Cooma at the St Andrew’s Uniting Church Hall on Soho Street. Classes are also held in Jindabyne.

I run informal weekly classes on ‘Women in History’.

Other classes include French and Spanish, handicrafts, electronics, and mobile phones, Tai Chi, poetry and English language and literature.

Impressionist expressions A packed audience attended the Impressionist Expressions performance.

The crowd was delighted with Sarahlouise Owens and Katherine Day who performed works by Strauss, Franz, Zemlinsky and Marx.

Held at St Paul’s Anglican Parish Hall in March, the audience was impressed with Sarahlouise’s singing ability, and Katherine’s work on the piano. Katherine is a graduate of the Victorian College of Arts and Royal College of Music, she is a talented pianist.

Many thanks to the Snowy Monaro Arts Council for

organising this inspiring performance.

Pre-Easter luncheon And what a luncheon it was.

Hosted by Marion Mondello, guests enjoyed a variety of main courses to suit every taste, (some guests being German, Austrian and others, Aussies).

This was followed by numerous sweets including a selection of different flavoured tarts and punch to drink. Easter eggs adorned the table and were very popular.

Amongst the guests were Leonie Snell, Rosemary Egidy, Paula Mondello,Pauline Rad, Carmen Henkel, Robin Mould, Marliess Kappel.

Five tenors performance The audience was thrilled with a performance of five Australian Tenors. Mary Jones, Nicole Piesley and Dorothy Venables were among the

guests who also admired the beautiful gowns worn by the female singer.

The tenors sang music to suit every taste and while singing some Australia songs wore their Akruba hats which the audience loved.

The performance was in Queanbeyan, and the trip for locals was organised by the Probus Club Cooma Luncheon at Berridale A Berridale visit held many delights for Lyn Last and Betty Fletcher on their scenic drive before Easter. They enjoyed lunch at the Bean and Barley under the sun at an outdoor table and I believe were treated very well by the waitress.

They then visited The Collective, an interesting gift shop known for its decorative hampers, oils, hand lotions, lovely gifts and plants.

To finish an enjoyable outing, they drove around the new homes and interesting heritage homes. Both ladies were impressed with the many new homes and well kept gardens.

With many trees turning into their autumn colours, it is a delight to see.

Welcome to Dusty Heifer The Dusty Heifer is the new coffee shop replacing Up North coffee at 5 Binalong Street.

My friends and I enjoyed meeting the new owner who is from New Zealand and now living in Bredbo. At present, the shop is open 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday, but hours will be extended as owners settle in.

We did enjoy a thick shake, coffee and toasted sandwiches.

Riposte

Thunderhead by Miranda Darling

By LISA ASHURST

Book review with Nick Goldie

By NICK GOLDIE A WEB search will tell you that Miranda Darling is a real person, was once a fashion model in London and Paris, and has written a number of books, including several novels. Also, that she was married, is now divorced, and that her harbour-side mansion was worth millions.

It’s hard to tell how much of her novella ‘Thunderhead’ is fiction, and how much is painful autobiography. Just once (p.83) she is addressed as Miranda.

Our introduction to Winona is often very funny – a 35-year-old writer of romantic fiction, mother of two little boys, with an overbearing but loving husband (never named but always referred to as ‘He’),

she is a compulsive list maker. She makes lists of everything including (an early one) list of qualities for failed domestication.

Some species, she notes, are too ill-tempered to be domesticated, and says the zebra is of special note in this category.

A page later she says: “I see myself as a zebra, walking down New South Head Road during rush hour, parting traffic, hardy and independent.” She is scatty and endearing but decidedly schizophrenic: a second reproving voice is in bold type, the voice of reason, the voice of stability.

As the details pile up with growing desperation, the humour becomes increasingly a cry for help.

Winona is a victim, despite her bravado. In the past

she has been quietist,, silent, putting up with the assertive Him and the trendy suburb and fashionable school. ome Winona’s lists become wilder (and bitterly funny).

Things I shoulb be frightened of today: Waking, beginning the day all over again, not knowing how to be, not knowing how he will be, traffic, failure to properly inhabit my role as motherwifeperson, sharp knives falling on bare toes, and boiling kettles.

The story ends with a defiant new beginning as Winona flees a dreadful dinner party, after lying on the pantry floor contemplating the skirting board. The kitchen is a good place to hide during dinner parties, she considers. It is acceptable to be in the

REVIEW: Ni Nick kG Goldie ldi says Thunderhead by Miranda Darling is well worth a read.

PHOTO: Supplied kitchen and Busy.

“I am exhausted by the effort to constantly insert myself into my own life,” she thinks, and carrying her two little boys, flees into the windy night, her jumper, snagged on the fence, unravelling behind her.

Like Winona’s jumper, I was hooked.

I AM generally not the killing type, I don’t step on bugs etc, but when you’re at war (as I have been lately with hordes of little black ants invading my space) it can eventually lead to a very different mindset.

Generally speaking, I tend to believe that all living things, even ants, have a right to live their life unmolested, but I’ve rethought it some since the army of ants, and I’m not exaggerating here, have decided that my space is now theirs. I have no idea where they’ve come from and I don’t understand what the attraction is either.

When I first spotted them, in their thousands, in the bottom of the pantry cupboard, where there is absolutely nothing they could possibly want, I freaked and headed out for bug spray (eco friendly though) which thankfully delivered a swift death. At least they didn’t suffer and I figured that was the end of the matter.

But I was soooo wrong.

Thing is, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, to attract them, so unless they can bite through glass and solid plastic there is no viable reason that I can see that would entice them into my home. But they just keep coming back and like I said, they arrive in their thousands.

Needing to take a tougher stance I made another trip to the supermarket and returned armed with a pack of ant baits. I stuck them in the places the ants appeared to be emerging from and then sat there, coffee in hand, willing the little so and sos to venture inside the units and take the stuff back to their nest.

“You’re sending them to their death, you know.”

piped my inner voice.

Generally speaking, inner voices can be an asset, but mine can be downright blunt sometimes and I felt bad enough about the baits without hearing something like that.

Normally I wouldn’t argue but.

“I know, right? I know.

But there’s a tsunami of them coming out from behind the stove now, so what would you suggest?” and that shut the annoying little snipe up.

I actually had used the kill-them-humanely-inan-instant spray a few times before resorting to the baits, but obviously there is a nest the size of Queensland somewhere in very close proximity to my place and if I am going to have any chance of halting the ongoing invasion I need to deal with the nest and that’s what the maker claims their baits will do.

The little invaders will take it home and…

I just hope they work because if they don’t, I could end up doing enough spraying to suffocate the neighbours, along with myself, and that could make me unpopular; my neighbours being all green and eco and all.

Look, I know ants have their place and they perform a valuable service in the natural world, but they serve no purpose whatsoever in my personal world and I wish they had understood that in the first instance. There is nothing to warrant them being here unless the endgame is to carry me off.

OMG, I hope that’s not what they have in mind.

“Oooh” snickered my snarky inner voice “Is that the stuff of nightmares or what?”

Okay, so maybe I don’t feel so bad about the baits now.

Only sort of.

WINTER WARMING FEATURE

Draught-proof your home before the big chill

By LISA ASHURST THERE’S nothing more unwelcome than those chilly draughts snaking into your home during the icy months of winter, and they will inevitably find their way in if they can find access.

So it’s worth taking some time to check all the obvious access points and sealing them, and now would be a good time to do it.

Draughts can enter via the most obscure places and older houses especially are often the most ‘leaky’ houses when it comes to draughts, especially if they are on stumps.

But even newer builds can harbour places where chilly winter winds can find access, creating cold spots and impacting on the temperature inside the home.

Draughts, while similar to

ventilation, which is good for you and your home, differ in that they are uncontrolled and can let in too much cold air.

Which is why draughtproofing is well worth the effort, as it will go a long way to preventing the warm air inside the home from escaping, which will not only keep the inside temperature more consistent and comfortable, but will also save on your energy costs.

Choose a breezy day and listen for rattling and whistling which is a sure sign of a draught. Moving curtains can also indicate air is entering via a small gap. Check around the doors and windows first; these are common areas where draughts can enter, but sealing them can be as simple as applying some weather stripping.

Check for gaps where skirting meets the walls and also in floorboards and if your’s is an older home with ventilation points in the walls, look at replacing them with closable options.

These vents used to serve as ventilation for when homes first began using gas and kerosene for heating and unless you are still using such heating appliances, they are no longer necessary.

You can remove them and plaster over the gap, but closable versions are available if you prefer to keep them.

Exposed rafters, stairways and fireplaces can also provide access to chilly air, so check around these features for sneaky gaps and seal them up if you find any.

And don’t forget the faithful door snake.

An oldie but a goodie, door

snakes are ideal for keeping chilly draughts from entering through a gap beneath your doors.

Bear in mind how much heat can escape through your windows too.

The best way to combat this is to hang heavier, lined curtains during the winter months. Leave them open on

sunny winter days to allow the sunshine in, but once the sun goes, close them to keep the warmth in.

Most draught-proofing jobs are simple and can be done by the householder in a weekend but even if it’s a job that requires you to bring in a tradie, it will be well worth it.

For those DIY jobs though, there are plenty of sealing options available and your local hardware store should be able to advise you on the best ones for the job.

Do it now, before the winter sets in. It will mean a warmer home, and that means a warmer you.

Turning on the heat

By LISA ASHURST ENERGY efficiency is a constant concern for all of us, especially with living costs continuing to rise.

We need to heat our homes in winter, but with energy prices also at a premium the desire for more cost efficient heating is greater than ever.

There are several options out there though, so it depends on which is going to be the best performer to meet your home heating needs while saving money on your power bills.

Reverse cycle air conditioning is a popular choice for many households. It’s very efficient and the cost per hour of running time to warm a room is quite low.

Whole-house systems will naturally increase the cost, but still come in as relatively low.

Split systems are usually less expensive than ducted systems to purchase and install, plus they allow you to control the temperature to each indoor unit, but both systems are a lot less expensive to run though than an electric heater.

Electric radiant panel heating systems are also worth considering as they are easy to install and have no need for pipes to a central boiler. They are attractive, unobtrusive, provide excellent warmth at a low cost and are maintenance free. They also provide a very comfortable and natural heat and are available in

a variety of forms, from infloor water tubing to radiant wall and ceiling panels.

A great option for newbuilds and renovations is underfloor heating (UFH), and the good news is that the system can now be installed in existing builds via retro-fit panels. This system of heating is available in two types; electric underfloor and hydronic underfloor.

Hydronic is considered much more efficient and a better fit environmentally.

It provides a a comfortable even heat distribution across the room, is highly energy efficient and uses the science of naturally rising heat.

It’s space-saving, safe and family friendly, there are no

hot or cold spots and it does not dry out the room.

Hydronic UFH is very low maintenance, requiring only the occasional heating system service, while the electric system requires no maintenance at all, and temperature control with both systems is hassle-free.

Installation costs for a UFH system can be higher than that of other systems and can sometimes take time to install, and a retrofit system in an existing build will cost more per square metre than a new build installation, but after the initial expense, you can sit back and enjoy the savings on your energy bills, as your UFH system will begin to pay for itself very quickly.

A popular choice of heat-

ing with passive homeowners is an infrared heating system, which is ideal for passive homes, due to the homes’ high insulation levels and other energy efficiencies. Eco houses are designed to be highly efficient, and their heating requirements are quite low, which is what makes an infrared system so right for them.

The panels are streamlined and unobtrusive and can be on either the wall or ceiling.

Infrared uses minimal electricity to generate heat, yet provides a lot for its size, and is safe enough and cost efficient enough to leave on overnight. The system does not emit any harmful radiation either. Infrared is also rated carbon neutral as it does not produce emissions

like a gas or oil-based heating system does. So this is a very clean heat.

Cost wise, infrared heating is said to be the least expensive of them all, with apparent savings of up to 50 percent in comparison with some other conventional types of heating and it’s very easy to install. It produces a naturally feeling, comfortable sun-like heat and those who have an infrared system swear by it.

With the many options available in efficient heating today, it is so much easier to find a system that will not only suit your budget and your needs, but will save on your power bills as well.

Now that’s a warming thought.

Create a cosy winter retreat

By LISA ASHURST WE ARE already into autumn, which means winter is just around the corner and when the icy weather hits, it’s lovely to come home to a place that exudes a warm and welcoming ambience as soon as you walk in the door.

Well, with very little effort you can easily create that cosy appeal in your own home with some simple but savvy design features, and it doesn’t have to be costly. You can warm up your home’s visual appeal with just a few accessories in colours and textures that will chase those cold weather blues far, far away.

Colour and texture are winners when it comes to creating a cosy look, making your living spaces, your kitchen, the bedrooms, hallways and even the bathroom warm and inviting on those cold winter nights.

Go plush. Heavier fabrics, seasonal designs and soft snuggly throws will all bring an extra layer of warmth and comfort to your rooms. Look for thick textured weaves in soft fibres and if you have any tucked away in the cupboard, pull out those heirloom and country style quilts. They add a wonderful layer of cosy nostalgia to a bedroom and even a smaller quilt will look attractive draped over a chair or make a wonderfully cuddly throw for an evening snuggled up on the couch.

If you have a fireplace, rearrange

COSY WINTER RETREAT: Create that cosy appeal in your own home with some simple but savvy design features as the weather cools down and winter approaches.

If that’s not an option though, you can still draw attention to the fireplace with some clever decorative touches that will still make it the focus of the room and spread the visual warmth throughout.

Hallways are often overlooked when it comes to creating a warmer space, but you can remedy this and brighten yours with a good quality hall runner that is soft underfoot. It will not only brighten your hallway but keep it warmer too. But thick soft floor rugs will do

wonders for warming up any room.

Even if the room already has a floor covering, a rug will add that extra layer of comfort.

Colour is your best friend for creating a cosy ambience, so accessorise with spicy reds and vibrant tangerines, deep moody

blues, mossy greens and soft olive tones. Compliment them with rich creams, warm whites and pastel greys and then wrap it all up with elements of earthy forest tones.

These colours work wonderfully well in creating the appeal of a warm, winter haven, making them the ideal hues for cuddly throw rugs, big snuggly cushions and thick soft floor rugs.

These colours will also work beautifully as warming elements in your kitchen too. Look for accessories that will add those pops of colour. A plant pot for the windowsill, a decorative plate for the wall, or even a picture of brightly-hued vegetables. They will all help to draw in the cosy ambience you want to create.

Use lamps to brighten shadowy spaces and dim corners, and candles for softer, more ambient lighting. Replace the table runner with a long fine-knit scarf, or use a thin blanket in a warm hue as a tablecloth. It will give an inviting touch to your dining area.

Opt for thick, luxurious towels in the bathroom and a soft, generously-sized bath mat, as both will create a comfortable and welcoming space. Bathrooms can be chilly places sometimes, but a few simple additions can make all the difference. It’s all about creating that look and feel of warmth and comfort.

What could be better?

Make your home your favourite place this winter.

African Lovegrass tipping point

Livestock markets trending well

By DAMIEN ROACH, NUTRIEN COOMA

Now or never to tackle highly g y invasive weed

By STUART BURGE, AGRONOMIST IN MY last column, I wrote with considerable despair about the alarming problem of African Lovegrass.

The bottom line in that article was that we are now at a critical tipping point: stem the tide of the spread of African Lovegrass or accept the reality that the horse has bolted.

Put simply – it’s now or never.

While many landholders, Snowy Monaro Regional Council and government agencies are only now just coming to terms with this reality, those of us who have been at the forefront of trying to address this problem have been acknowledging this situation for many years.

Cries of concern have largely fallen on deaf ears.

Indeed the following statement from the former Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, issued in 2012, is telling: ‘Unfortunately the Mon-

aro has a well established population of the highly invasive grassland weed African Lovegrass (E. curvula). This weed is a C4 grass which is predicted to become increasingly competitive with lower and more unreliable rainfall and increased drought periods in the future,’ the Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority statement said.

‘The other major threat to the ecology of the Monaro Grasslands and the primary production systems that they support is serrated tussock.

‘Unless a large-scale, early investment is successfully implemented, the long term prognosis for the Monaro is one where through inappropriate grazing management and the effects of recurring droughts African Lovegrass will have dominated the native grasslands resulting in the irreversible degradation of their ecological value and an estimated decline in production (through the loss of grazing productivity alone)

Dichondra (pictured in a sprayed paddock) is a very low growing prostrate herbaceous plant with creeping stems, rooting readily at the nodes, forming a height not usually more than four to five centimetres. PHOTO: Stuart Burge of 40 percent for African Lovegrass and an almost total loss with serrated tussock)’.

It is noteworthy that this was 12-years-ago, and we are only now waking up to this reality.

Kidney Weed Question? When is a weed not a weed?

Answer: When it is resistant to herbicides but poses no threat to agriculture or the environment.

We tend to think of glyphosate as being a complete or non-selective herbicide.

I am often asked by landholders engaged in a direct drilling pasture improvement program about a small plant which has not been killed by the application of herbicides including glyphosate.

These queries are more out of curiosity than any

real concern. That plant is Dichondra repens or Kidney Weed.

Dichondra (pictured in a sprayed paddock) is a very low growing prostrate herbaceous plant with creeping stems, rooting readily at the nodes, forming a height not usually more than four to five centimetres.

While a native to the region, it is extremely common throughout much of NSW although in paddocks on the Monaro we usually see it in small very isolated clumps.

It is now a domesticated plant which can be sown or used as a lawn species due to its attractive soft kidney shaped leaves.

No, it is certainly not another African Lovegrass (thankfully) but a small somewhat innocuous and attractive plant of unusual tolerance to glyphosate.

LIVESTOCK markets are trending stronger on the recent promise of rain and also rain being seen in the north of the country.

High volumes that were being pushed onto the market at the start of the month have slowed down with Wagga Wagga yarding on 40,000 in the last sale before Easter and have drawn for 3000 the Monday before Easter. Processors will slow down over the break but numbers would be expected to be higher at this point in the year.

This is creating a stronger market as processors are limited with their buying options.

This reduction in numbers coupled with the promise of rain in the north has seen a big spike in market confidence and resulted in dearer markets across the state.

This was seen in the recent Cooma Monaro Weaner Sale held by Nutrien and Elders.

Prices were $100-$150 dearer than expected in place with Angus steers making up to $4.38/kg for bigger runs. This was well in front of recent sales around the country and is currently in front of the Auctionsplus online selling.

Looking forward, this time

Damien Roach, Nutrien. of year is when we see plenty of PTIC cows come on to the market so get in touch with your local agent if you think you can handle a few more numbers to run through winter.

Up coming sales in the local area include the next Nutrien/Elders weaner sale on April 17. Numbers are already at 4000 so it’s shaping up to be another big sale with plenty of attraction for buyers from away. Again, talk to your agent to get cattle booked into this feature Monaro sale.

On the sheep front, killable lambs are still coming onto the market as the feed hardens and lambs finish off.

Buyers are paying a premium for well shorn, well covered crossbred lambs. We are also seeing a spike in woolly Merino wether lambs which haven’t been as harshly affect in the recent drier times.

THE Alcock family of Greenland Merino Stud is celebrating their most successful Sydney Royal Easter Show after winning the coveted Stonehaven Perpetual Cup. Greenland Merino Stud, based at Bungarby, took 20 Merinos to the show, winning 15 broad ribbons and the prestigious Stonehaven Cup. The stud also took out best exhibit of five Merino March shorn sheep, consisting of three rams and two ewes.

John Alcock said the standard of the Merino

section was very high, as was the Merino fleeces.

Speaking on behalf of the five judges of the Merino section, Matthew Coddington of Roseville Park Merino Stud praised the Greenland team.

He said Greenland was declared Stonehaven Cup winners with their young sheep having good, productive skins, with positive microns. Mr Coddington said all five were structurally sound, carrying great stylish wool.

Greenland’s successful outing also included win-

ning the Sir Frederick McMaster Memorial Perpetual Trophy, Grand Champion Medium wool Merino Ewe, Junior Champion March shorn Poll Merino Ewe, Champion Medium wool March shorn Merino Ewe, and Champion Ultrafine Wool August shorn Merino Ewe. Greenland also won the Champion Fleece of the Royal Agricultural Society district exhibits.

The property itself would prove a smart investment however the business is also for sale. This will be a ‘blue chip’ tenant as the building is for the use of the Post Office. There are also six mail contractors working out of the rear of the building.

What an opportunity for a family to relocate to a thriving country town and put the whole family to work. The

business caters for local rural runs and the local PO boxes.

The postal shop is stocked to cater for all needs while Services Australia also hires a space out making it the access point in the area for anything to do with Medicare, Centrelink etc.

Besides postal services, they also offer insurance, passport renewals and applications, police checks, money transfers, foreign currency exchange, gift cards and more.

The Draft Native Vegetation Regulatory map has now been released across all areas of New South Wales

ADMIN / PAYROLL ASSISTANT

The Local Land Services Act and Regulation require preparation and publication of a Native Vegetation Regulatory Map. A staged release of the draft Native Vegetation Regulatory map commenced on 5 October 2022. North West and remaining areas of South East Local Land Services Regions were published on 26 March 2024.

All Local Land Services Regions have now been released.

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be conducting a baiting program using baits and canid pest ejectors containing 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes. The program will be CONTINUOUS AND ON GOING between 8th April 2024 to 7th July 2024. These programs are part of an integrated pest animal control strategy, aimed at minimising the impacts of these pests on neighbouring stock.

Baiting programs will be conducted in the Dangelong Nature Reserve, Wadjan Nature Reserve, Kybeyan Nature Reserve and Kybeyan State Conservation Area. These areas are located within the East Monaro/Central South Coast Wild Dog Management Plan.

All baiting locations will be identifiable by signs.

Please be reminded that domestic pets are not permitted on NPWS Estate. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

For further information please call the Jindabyne NPWS office on (02) 6450 5555.

The draft NVR map is a tool landholders can use when considering how best to manage native vegetation on their land. It does not impose any new legal obligations. The map provides certainty when determining whether an approval is or isn’t required.

A free review of the draft map as it relates to your land is available now or at any time in the future. The review will normally be completed in 40 days. Landholders in all regions can request Å āōìì ĦÅŊ ōìŸċìŹ ÅŜ Åħſ ŜċĦìǨ ìŸìħ Źćìħ Ŝćì ĦÅŊ ċŔ ƎħÅĠċŔìçǧ Information about and access to the draft Map is available at: environment.nsw.gov .au/native-vegetation-regulatory-map.

BERRIDALE Lions Club Easter Fair celebrated its 50th fair on Saturday March 30 with more than 60 stall holders and a huge crowd.

Berridale Lions Club President Iain Schofield said it was their biggest fair yet.

“It was a great day out, we had the Easter Bunny for the kids, plenty of stalls to browse and the weather really topped off a perfect fair day.”

Mr Schofield said.

Stallholders as far as Canberra and the South Coast joined all the locals to showcase their products and make some great sales.

Owen Davis of Snowy Mountains Eucalyptus Oil Company took a

break from his stall to dress up as the Easter Bunny on the day as he walked around with his basket full of chocolate eggs for all the children.

This year was the first time the club welcomed sponsors to their event and wanted thank Snowy Legal, Sea 2 Sky Electrical, ABF Building, The Banjo Paterson Inn and Jindy Steelworx for their generous sponsorship and support.

“We thank our sponsors as well as the entire Snowy Monaro community for their support this year.” Mr Schofield said.

The Berridale Lions Club look forward to hosting their next event, the Spring Markets over the long weekend in October.

Cooma Car club stages successful hillclimb

By NATHAN THOMPSON THE Cooma Car Club Hillclimb has a reputation for fast and fair racing with entrants regularly commenting on the quality of the event.

For the first time in 2024, the hillclimb returned to Mt Gladstone where 28 racers took to the track on Sunday for the competition event. Drivers from across the Snowy Monaro, south-east NSW and ACT tried their hand at setting the fasted time of the day.

This honour went to Jindabyne’s Andrew Penny who clocked the quickest run of 42.09s.

The Cooma Car Club works hard to encourage junior drivers to compete in the hillclimb and the weekend’s racing of March 23 and 24 was no exception.

Joshua Connelly from Goulbyrn was the fastest junior, finishing the hillclimb in 55.79s.

Cooma Car Club volunteer and committee member Rogan Corbett said the hillclimb again proved successful.

“The hillclimbs are great events to encourage drivers to race and hone their skills. It’s important drivers who wish to race can do so at events like ours,” Corbett said.

“We were pleased with the number of entrants. Many trav-

elled some hours to compete.

“The hillclimb was a success.

Our members do a great job to run this, it’s one of the car club’s most popular regular events.”

Individual class winners included: Tom Ballard, ACT, Mazda 50.05s; Tim Sullivan, Adaminaby, Toyota Corolla 46.64s; Phoenix Aoun, Numeralla, Volkswagen Jetta 46.28s; Michael Primrose, Shoalhaven, Toyota MR2 46.80s; Sean Martin, ACT, Mazda MX5 43.35s; Daniel Matthews, Sydney, Peugeot 206 GTi180 48.00s; and Tyler Every, Cooma, Honda Civic GTR 44.58s.

The weekend saw the car club’s

S

usual format - a come and try on Saturday (non-competitive) with 30 entrants, including eight junior drivers, five of which were using car club cars. Racing on Sunday was competitive and attracted a strong crowd.

X WINNER: Jindabyne’s Andrew Penny clocked the fastest time of the Cooma Car Club Hillclimb event with a time of 42.09s.

Tigers ready to shoot for Cooma THE COOMA Tigers Football Club is just days away from the start of the their new season with two men’s sides and a women’s team ready to shoot for premiership glory.

The Cooma FC men’s side will again contest Capital Football’s state league division one after a promising season in 2023. The side progressed to a higher division in 2023 following its title victory the season prior.

A finals berth almost came their way last season. The disappointment of missing the finals is fueling Oscar Schoon’s side in 2024.

Saturday April 6 will see the season kick-off at Nijong Oval with Cooma FC at home to Weston Molongolo. Reserve grade commences at 1pm and first at 3pm.

The club is looking forward to cheering on its women’s side who will contest division three.

An away game to start the season has the side taking on BellaMonaro at riverside Park in Queanbeyan at 10am. A home game follows on April 13 with a 10am kickoff against Majura at 10am.

Roach’s standout season COFFEY’S cricket all- rounder Damien Roach will probably look back on season 2023/24 with a sense of what could’ve been, after his side fell agonisingly short in their premiership bid.

Roach claimed career best figures in Coffey’s grand final loss to Jindabyne, collecting 5/11. Despite the loss, Roach cemented his standing as one of Monaro cricket’s form all rounders.

An early season switch from off spin to his more natural medium pace paid dividends as Roach took 20 wickets across the T20 and one-day competitions.

His best performance with the ball came in the most important match of the season. Roach snared the big wicket of Jindabyne’s Dave Tickell before collecting Monaro cricketer of the year Isaac Dawson for a golden duck.

Roach’s six overs produced five key wickets, helping dismiss Jindabyne for 120.

Roach had a standout season with the bat, hitting four half centuries while consistently striking at close to a run a ball.

He proved an attacking top order option for Coffey’s and handful for opposition bowlers.

Roach reached 70 twice. The first came against Rhythm in a successful run chase of 140 in the final rounds of the season.

In the final match of the regular season against Berridale, Roach hit a quick fire 77. He amassed close to 300 runs for the season.

Local talent looks to further skiing career

7 D AY S A WEEK Ɛ Ə - l ŊƐƐ r l JINDABYNEBOWLINGCLUB.COM.AU

TALENTED: Jindabyne’s Abbey Evans competing in the Alpine downhill skiing discipline.

Evans enjoys fruitful season

By TRISTA HEATH SNOWY Mountains Grammar School graduate Abbey Evans is passionate about her alpine skiing.

The 18-year-old has spent the last few months competing in an array of championships and races in the French Alps.

Alpine ski racing is a demanding sport that requires a combination of speed, agility, technical skill and physical endurance with four disciplines within the sport including downhill, Super G, GS and Slalom.

Evans mainly competes in GS and Slalom with some Super G races as well.

Evans said while all sports have their ups and downs, the highs in ski racing feel unmatched. She is developing her technique to create more powerful and smooth turns, which she describes as the best feeling.

“The adrenaline and thrill that I feel when I am alpine skiing is so much fun, the variety of events in ski racing also creates its own unique challenges ranging from the speed in Super G to the precision of slalom turns, there’s always something new to learn and try,” Evans said.

“The scenery that I am lucky enough the be surrounded by when training and racing also allows me to see the most beautiful places in the world from the Northern lights in north of Sweden to the spectacular Italian Dolomites.

“Being able to be in these places makes it feel even more special and reminds me of how lucky I am.”

A sophisticated sport that requires extreme focus, the alpine skiing technique evolved during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the mountainous terrain of the Alps in central Europe and has grown into a sport thousands compete in every year.

Evans is currently with a team, HPC, based in Leogang Austria with around six athletes and mainly trains in Leognag but travel to Czech, Italy, Slovakia and Slovenia for races.

As her team enters the last few weeks of the season they travel a lot as racing is their main goal and training becomes more difficult as the snow conditions get worse.

Most of our competitions are regular FIS events although I also had the privilege to compete in the Junior world championships with four other Australians which was held in the beginning of February in Portes Du Soleil, France, located around different mountains near Morzine.

Alpine ski racing is based off of a points system where an algorithm is used to allocate points to each racer.

A penalty is created based off of the top skiers and then points per second are given to the races based on how far they are off the leader, so the lower the points the better, this means that each race is fair and can be objectively judged based on your skill level.

Evans said while there are many different races the team can go to, each follows the same point system and depending on how you ski in the race you are allocated points.

“These systems can be rewarding, as we constantly see how we improve compared to other athletes,” Evans said.

Evans said she would like to constantly improve and see where the sport takes her.

“Going to the Olympics or competing in world cups would be amazing but there are so many steps that come before that I want to enjoy, and the satisfaction of improvement always makes it feel worth it,” Evans said.

“Being selected to represent Australia at the Junior

world championships is one of my biggest highlights and although my skiing didn’t go as planned, being able to compete against some of the best ski races in the world was amazing and seeing how my skiing compares to them.

“Particularly in the previous Northern Hemisphere season (2022/23) I made a huge improvement and got some of my first podiums which is so rewarding and fun just to see how the work can pay off.”

There is a large psychological aspect to ski racing which is crucial for athletes.

Being able to focus on your own skiing and zone in on your technique during training and races which many people often underestimate.

Evans said having so many factors playing into ski racing can make it overwhelming but also adds to its challenge which makes it more sophisticated but enjoyable.

“Many people can underestimate the psychological side of ski racing and how you need to have a lot of confidence in your own skiing to be able to ski well under high risk conditions,” Evans said.

“It’s always important to understand that you need to have fun and love the sport, giving you the drive and confidence to want to kind of ‘send it’ down a course.

“When athletes begin to only worry about their points and ranking, the pressure often leads to a loss of confidence which can impact their skiing so I would say its most important to just love what you do.

“Ski racing also requires us to be away from home for many months of the year in new countries and with new people so being able to be surrounded by athletes that can inspire and push you makes it more fun and helps you move towards your goals with like-minded people that support you.”

Tigers ready for new season PAGE 38

Byrne blitzes Moruya Races

FORMER Jindabyne and now Canberra based trainer, Becky Byrne, has produced a career highlight at the Moruya Races on Saturday with a winning double.

In Race 2, a Benchmark 50 handicap over 1010 metres, Jacob Joe ($5) was ridden by Canberra Jockey Damon Budler to win by a neck margin over the favourite Artieos ($2.10). Jacob Joe is raced by Canberra businessman Joe Palombi, Tony Cullen from Wagga along with Canberra plumbers Martin and Justin Rich.

In the very next race, Byrne produced Rosy Sue ($2.90 fav), a fouryear-old mare by Astern, to win a maiden handicap over 920 metres.

In similar style to his previous ride, Budler summed up the race well to prevail again by a neck margin over Noble Ruby ($3.30) from the Price stable at Kembla Grange.

Rosy Sue, from the mare Maryore who won six races and more $500,000 million in prize money, is raced by Mr Palombi and George Gabarretta.

Byrne made the move to train at Canberra after commencing at Jindabyne and having a stint at Queanbeyan.

Bombala trainer, Anita “Skeet” Walder was very pleased with the runs of her two horses at Moruya, when they both had close-up second placings.

In Race 1, a Maiden Handicap over 1650 metres, Odyssey Man ($11) ridden by Quayde Krogh, finished second, only a nose margin behind Closdumesnil (NZ) ($11) trained by Joe Cleary at Queanbeyan and ridden by Kayla Nisbet.

In the last race, a Benchmark 50

WINNER: Starliv, pictured last year, has won in Canberra for trainer Matt Kelley. over 1300 metres, Deadly Weapon ($31), ridden by Rebecca Bronett Prag, was a long way back but made a great run out wide to finish second to Howgoodisvegas ($2.15) trained by Colbey Hill at Moruya and ridden by Jade McKenzie.

Odyssey Man is raced by Anita and David Walder, the estate of the late Sally-Ann Thompson, Raymond Crawford, Robert Joseph and Kathy Farrell, while Deadly Weapon is raced by Anita and David Walder, Mr P H Craig, Mrs M & Mr G Eddie, Robert Joseph, the

estate of the late Sally-Ann Thompson and Raymond Crawford.

Sally-Ann Thompson trained gallopers at Bombala for many years prior to 2002. One of her better horses, Miss Majakit, won eight races and had 21 minor placings.

Until her relatively recent illness and passing, Sally-Ann kept a keen physical interest in racing, in particular by supporting “Skeet” and her training operation, feeding up, strapping on race-day, and by overseeing very early morning track gallops at the Bombala track.

She will be missed by her family, friends and the racing fraternity who have fond recollections of her.

At Canberra last Friday, Starliv ($31), ridden by Kayla Nisbet surprised her trainer and owners when she blitzed a good field, leading all of the way to win a Benchmark 60 Handicap over 1000 metres.

At what was her swansong before retirement, trainer Matt Kelley expected a good showing, but as a seven-year-old mare with her interest in racing seemingly wan-

Kelley did not foresee her 1.6 length win in the class record time. (56.88 seconds). Starliv, who is the winner of six races, is raced

by Mick Schofield, David Bottom, Roger Norton, Stephen and Cameron Johnson and Brandon Williams.

The ownership group now has to decide if the retirement plans should be rescheduled to see if Starliv has any more surprises for them.
