Mission Australia’s acting co-ordinator Cooma region homelessness support service, Brittany Hynes, said hidden homelessness is becoming more prevalent.

“In our region we see more hidden homelessness due to the

cold temperatures. There are lots of couch surfers,” Mrs Hynes said.

“We are also seeing increases in people living in unsafe dwellings.

This is due to rental market affordability and cost-of-living issues.”

A REPORT detailing the environmental, cultural and heritage values of the central Monaro plains has recommended the iconic setting be placed on state and national heritage lists.

More than 100 hundred Snowy Monaro landholders and residents attended a community meeting last week to hear the findings of a report - Central Monaro Plains Deep Landscape Values Assessment prepared by Dr Dennis Williamson of Geoscene International.

The area studied by Dr Williamson covers 336,000 hectares with the report finding more than 65 per cent of the central Monaro plains is of high to very high landscape value.

Dr Williamson found the iconic Monaro landscape has such significant environmental values it should be pursued for inclusion as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Biosphere Reserve.

Currently in Australia there are only four biosphere reserves.

Crews from Jindabyne, Ingebirah and Dalgety RFS also attended to assist police and fire and rescue.

The road was cleared by 9.30pm.

A motor vehicle accident occurred on Kalkite Road at 9.30pm on Saturday.

The vehicle went off the road and into a ditch. The driver was airlifted out by helicopter.

Ambulance, police and fire and rescue attended with Berridale RFS assisting. In other news, crews responded to a grass fire at Michelago

late on Friday afternoon.

The fire is believed to have started after a resident put hot pot ash from a wood heater outside on grass, causing it to ignite.

This incident has prompted Cooma Rural Fire Brigade to remind residents of the importance of disposing of hot ashes properly.

The RFS strongly advises against putting hot or warm ashes onto the ground due to the risk of fire.

Residents should ensure ashes are completely cold before disposing of them. Ashes will remain hot enough to re-ignite and cause other flammable materials to

Safe ash disposal practices: Use a metal container: Always use a sturdy, metal container with a lid for hot ash; Half-fill the container: This allows for better cooling and airflow to prevent smoldering and potential fires; Secure the lid: A tight-fitting lid helps to starve smoldering ashes of oxygen, preventing sparks and embers from escaping; Regularly stir and add water: Check the ash container regularly (every few days) and add a little water to help

Calls to re-instate region’s mobile library

Homelessness in spotlight

By NATHAN THOMPSON

By NATHAN THOMPSON THERE are renewed calls to reinstate the region’s mobile library truck and improve the outreach service currently offered.

At last week’s council meeting, a continuation of the June meeting, councillor Bob Stewart declared the outreach service is not working.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council started a library outreach service in December 2024. The service replaced the mobile library and while still visiting the same towns and villages, residents are calling for the former service to be re-introduced.

“This has been a failure, and unfortunately I voted for it,” Cr Stewart said.

“We need to back those communities and get a better delivery.

“The two most vulnerable people we need to look after are the elderly and the kids. We had a good system and unfortunately we let it go.”

The mobile library outreach service was back on the council agenda following Cr Tricia Hopkins putting forward a notice of motion, calling for community consultation to be undertaken to determine the current satisfaction with the service.

“I’m not proposing to bring back the mobile library truck. We have moved on a lot, the outreach

LOCAL PUSH: There are fresh calls for the Snowy Monaro mobile library truck to be brought back and return the library outreach service to what it once was.

PHOTO: File service we are offering seems to be working well,” Cr Hopkins said.

‘Let’s chat to the stakeholders and users and ask them what is working well and what can be improved. It’s more than books, it’s a social connectivity issue also.”

Snowy Monaro Regional Coun-

cil chief of community services, Tony Murray, told the meeting council can apply for grant funding to deliver a more comprehensive service.

“The service is not adequate in my view. The challenges are funding,” Mr Murray said.

“It’s currently a no-cost ser-

vice, there were no real plans to replace the mobile library truck.

“We need about $60,000 plus running costs.”

Cr Hopkins’ motion was passed unanimously. Council is undertaking feedback on the outreach service and will hold community workshops in coming months.

MISSION Australia support workers are calling for greater community awareness for the region’s most vulnerable ahead of National Homelessness Week in August.

Cost-of-living pressures and rental prices are leading to an increased number of people needing to access Mission Australia’s services.

With below zero temperatures and inadequate heating in many homes, more residents than ever before are struggling to stay warm.

Mission Australia’s acting co-ordinator Cooma region homelessness support service, Brittany Hynes, said hidden homelessness is becoming more prevalent.

“In our region we see more hidden homelessness due to the cold temperatures. There are lots of couch surfers,” Mrs Hynes said.

“We are also seeing increases in people living in unsafe dwellings.

This is due to rental market affordability and cost-of-living issues.

“Overcrowding is a real problem.

People are living in dwellings that are uninhabitable and unsafe.

“Across Australia, there are more than 122,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night.

“From couch surfing to living in an emergency shelter, homelessness can look different for everyone.”

Safety upgrades for Jindabyne Dam

By NATHAN THOMPSON

VALE: Larry Adler was well-known among the Snowy Mountains community and he will be missed by many.

PHOTOS Supplied

Vale Larry Adler

ON Saturday, 14 June, a pioneer of the Australian ski industry and well-known Australian sportswear icon, Larry Adler, passed away aged 96.

A beloved husband to Nanette, a father to Skye, Craig, Scott and Larry, a cherished grandfather, and a mentor to many, the family laid him to rest with a Celebration of Life on Friday, 27 June at St Peter’s Presbyterian Church in North Sydney.

Condolences came far and wide as Larry was remembered by many.

Larry was a proud member of the Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance, his passion for the mountains

was legendary.

After 10 years instructing at Mont Tremblant Canada and Charlotte Pass, he founded his pharmacy in Collaroy in 1965.

A few years later, he opened Larry Adler Ski and Outdoor, building a legacy that has lasted for decades.

His passion was infectious, and his impact on the Australian ski and outdoor community is immeasurable.

Larry’s legacy will forever be etched on the slopes he loved and in the hearts of the countless people he taught, employed, and inspired.

Adler’s business was a huge success, growing from a single store to many across New South Wales.

RIDERS crossing the Jindabyne Dam wall are being urged to dismount and walk their bikes across the dam crossing.

In efforts to improve safety, Snowy Hydro (responsible for the dam wall), Snowy Monaro Regional Council and Transport for NSW will upgrade safety barriers along the dam wall.

The three stakeholders are working with the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship (JTS), a hard working local group who manages the shared trails, to call on riders to put their safety first.

“The Jindabyne Trail Stewardship has been advised that new barriers are scheduled to be installed either side of the Jindabyne dam spillway.

These barriers will make it harder for bike riders to ride around them, forcing people to dismount,” a spokesperson said.

“This is a temporary solution.

“We have been lobbying for safety improvements to the path over the spillway for nearly 10 years, last year we realised that we had a golden opportunity - as we could not only raise the issue and suggest solutions, this time we could also point to a source of funds that were available to fix the problem.”

Snowy Hydro has already installed new signage at both sides of the dam wall crossing to reinforce to riders that they must dismount and walk their bikes across.

SAFETY: Cyclists crossing the Jindabyne dam wall are urged to dismount and follow signage instructions for safety.

PHOTO: Nathan Thompson pact and community, Sarah Norris, said upgrades will deliver much needed safety improvements and instill greater confidence in riders walking their bikes across the wall.

“We are working with multiple stakeholders, including the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship, to strongly encourage riders to dismount before crossing the wall,” Ms Norris said.

“These are important upgrades, and ones Snowy Hydro is focussed on delivering in a timely manner.”

Snowy Hydro said it hopes the works will be complete before the summer mountain biking season.

“The Jindabyne Trail Stewardship

understands that the temporary barriers at the dam wall will cause some frustration amongst riders, but we concede it’s a necessary step for now,” the spokesperson said.

“It was clear that something had to be done to prevent a serious injury, or worse, at this location. It’s only with the co-operation of JTS, Snowy Hydro, Council and Transport for NSW that we will find a solution that works for everyone, and JTS appreciates the willingness of all parties to come to the table on this issue.

“JTS will keep pushing for a permanent solution to keep all trail users safe and happy on the dam wall.”

Jindabyne’s aged care options Community meets to discuss aged care services

By TRISTA HEATH ON WEDNESDAY, 2 July, community members gathered at the Jindabyne Sports and Bowling Club to talk about aged care services and what is offered in the region, specifically Jindabyne.

Around 50 people attended the meeting led by Snowy Monaro Regional Council councillors, Narelle Davis, and, Nick Elliott.

Cr Davis is a retired registered nurse of more than 20 years and currently sits on the board of Southern NSW Local Health District, she carries a wealth of knowledge of the health care system and was the driving force behind the meeting.

Other health care representatives attended to share their knowledge on the local aged care system including, Cooma Hospital registered nurse, Lucille Ingram, Council Community Support co-ordinator, Rachel Roehl, and chief executive officer at Cooma Challenge, Angie Ingram.

Lucille addressed the crowd first, urging community members who need the help aged care services to register with My Aged Care, a government initiative providing information and support to better understand,

access and navigate the aged care system.

“Available to those 65-years-old and over, My Aged Care provides information on the different types of aged care services available, an assessment of needs to identify eligibility and the right type of care,” Lucille said.

“As well as referrals and support to find service providers that can meet your needs and information on what you might need to pay towards the cost of your care.”

Lucille has been in the health care sector for more than 40 years and holds a vast level of knowledge on the aged care system, she also is an aged care assessor.

She understands how the aged care system can be complex, challenging, hard to follow and to navigate.

“My Aged Care can help you access services that can support you to remain living at home and in your own community,” Lucille said.

“You may be eligible to access local support to help you continue doing what you can for yourself, safely and with a focus on your strengths and goals.

“It is an entry level point to find services for aged care in your region as well as pro-

vide information and services to those in more isolated parts.”

The Australian Government has developed a new Aged Care Act to strengthen Australia’s aged care system.

The Australian Parliament passed the Aged Care Act 2024 as the new law for government-funded aged care in Australia on 25 November 2024.

The new Act was supposed to start from 1 July and now has been postponed by the commonwealth until 1 November 2025 and will align with the launch of the new Support at Home program.

Ongoing challenges and reforms in the Australian aged care sector, especially for regional areas, means limited services offered.

Lucille said the current services offered in Jindabyne include Mable, Southern NSW Local Health District Transport for Health, Driving Miss Daisy and respite services through Cooma Challenge.

Rachel explained how Councils Community Support Programs provide a range of aged care services at locations across the region.

This includes residential aged care facilities in Cooma, as well as community-based options across the region.

RESPITE: Cooma Challenge Snowy Monaro Respite Cottage in Cooma offers respite for aged care.

PHOTO: Nathan Thompson Services include community transport programs, meals on wheels and home care packages to help with personal care and support, light housework and maintenance, shopping, medication support and more.

Home Care Packages are delivered through Council’s Community Support Programs.

Packages are available to residents of the Snowy Monaro region who meet eligibility criteria.

Home Care Packages offer intensive home support and case management services where you work with Council to design a package to meet your individual needs allowing you to stay connected to your community and living independently in your home.

Cooma Challenge understands that as an older person you may need assistance

to care for yourself if you are restricted in your activities and how the assistance you receive can help to delay or even avoid long-term care in an institutional setting.

Angie said Cooma Challenge offers respite services through its Snowy Monaro respite cottage providing overnight accommodation for up to five nights, to give respite to carers of older people who live in rural and remote areas.

“The cottage is shared with Monaro Community Access Day Program in Cooma East, the people who stay here are served home cooked meals and offered 24-hour support,” Angie said.

“Monaro Community Access / Day Program provides centre-based care for older people being cared for while living at home, including people with early onset de-

mentia.

“We also offer The Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) which is one consolidated program that provides entry-level home support for older people who need assistance to keep living independently at home in their community.

“Cooma Challenge Limited offers different CHSP services available for residents in Cooma-Monaro, Bombala and Snowy River Shires, respite care provides short-term, timelimited breaks for carers of eligible people.”

Visiting for holidays, staying for lifestyle The Staples’ journey to Snowy Mountains GOOD LIVING IN

JINDABYNE

By TRISTA HEATH ROB and Cathy Staples would often visit the Snowy Mountains from their home in Sydney.

After many visits to the region, it didn’t take them long to make the move from visitors to residents.

In May of 1982 Rob saw an advertisement in the paper for an engineering position at the then Snowy River Shire Council and applied before quickly making the move to the mountains where Cathy also continued her career as a registered nurse.

The couple’s three children grew up in the Snowies, attending the local schools, and as a family took advantage of all the great things the region has to offer including bush walking, skiing and fishing.

Their three children did not miss out either. School sport during winter time included skiing and in summer exploring the mountains.

“Since then we have seen some remarkable advances in education and opportunity available locally with the significant master planning upgrades at Snowy Mountains Grammar School (Rob was involved in the master planning process) and the relocation and construction of a new public school at Jindabyne with re-location to the Sport and Recreation Centre site south of the town,” Rob said.

Rob said what drew them to the region is all the amazing recreational activities the area offers as well as the work opportunities and the sense of connection to the local community.

“We love the environment here and the outdoors, we are on 58 acres and every day we see kangaroos and wombats and so many species of native birds. We are surrounded by trees and rocks and have beautiful views across the Monaro,” Rob said.

“We’ve been able to build our professional careers and be part of the local community. The lifestyle is one of the things that keeps us here after more than four decades since re-locating.

“Coming down as a visitor is one

Forging an amazing career in the region, Rob has worked on major infrastructure projects and has seen the town of Jindabyne evolve from a sleepy mountain town in the early 80s to a bustling and thriving year-round tourist destination that it is today.

Rob worked extensively on many local projects including as project director for NPWS on the Perisher Range resorts infrastructure upgrade project from 2000 to 2007 where he oversaw the $80 million upgrades to sewerage, water supply, roads, drainage and waste services as well as many other projects.

Rob continues his engineering consultancy practice working on various projects within the region.

Rob said he knows the

importance of keeping the town’s roots intact while also building on its infrastructure to welcome people like him and Cathy, ‘tourists who become residents’.

Rob served as a director on the board of Tourism Snowy Mountains for eight years, bringing his expertise as an engineer to build on the collective knowledge of what will draw more visitors to town.

While he’s still working, Rob likes to take any opportunity he gets to go fly fishing in the various lakes and rivers located across the region.

“While working with Council I took on the role of secretary/ treasurer of the organising committee for the World Fly Fishing Championships which was based at The Station Resort in Jindabyne right here in the Snowy Mountains during 1999,” Rob said.

“The event showcased to the world the great fly-fishing available throughout the region and brought many people from 25 countries across the world

to Jindabyne. Thus began my passion for fly fishing and fly fishing administration leading to involvement in international events ultimately as National President of Fly Fish Australia.”

Professionally Rob was recently appointed as an Emeritus Member of the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia for his contribution to public works in NSW. This most coveted award is ‘the icing on the cake’ in his professional career.

Cathy too has been able to develop her career as a Registered Nurse focusing on emergency nursing and then later as a public health administrator working as Health Service manager in numerous hospitals throughout regional NSW. Over the last 40 years Rob and Cathy have seen an incredible change to the township of Jindabyne specifically.

“I remember in the early days, when I first arrived in Jindabyne as a young engineer with the council, where the National Parks and

WE SERVICE ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH TREES

Wildlife Services building stands now and where Nuggets Crossing sits now, this was vacant land, full of snakes, blackberries and rocks,” Rob said.

“Cathy and I have been lucky enough to have witnessed and be part of the process of seeing the town and our region evolve. We truly believe we have been blessed to be living in one of the most beautiful of locations where we have raised our children and had very fulfilling professional careers in a wonderful community.”

Jindabyne’s permanent and visitor population continues to grow each year and during its winter months almost triples due to the influx of visitors and resort staffing. The town continues to grow its infrastructure and housing developments are not slowing down any time soon.

As the town progresses to become a year-round destination, with the support of Council and the State Government, the infrastructure will only continue to improve.

Bombala showground’s sporting facilities

The new cricket net facility and overflow car parking area is almost complete, with final UNDERWAY: Council’s contractor working on the cricket nets officially handed the new installation over to the projects team.

PHOTOS: Supplied works to be completed from spring.

IN BIG news for Bombala athletes and exercise enthusiasts, Council can reveal that work on the major local project bringing new cricket, netball and spectator facilities to the Bombala Showground are nearly complete.

Earlier last week, Council’s contractor working on the cricket nets officially handed the new installation over to the projects team. The re-seeded grass surrounding the site needs time to set root and grow in ahead of the new nets opening to the public this spring.

Construction of accessible pathways and the new showground driveway were also completed earlier in June 2025.

Contractors are currently awaiting the delivery of the additional spectator seating, scheduled to arrive on-site by the middle of next month. Thanks to the completion of the surrounding path network, installation and completion of the new spectator area will be able to go ahead as soon as the seats arrive.

Despite a wetter than expected start to winter, crews are also making great progress towards completion of the new netball court and overflow car parking area.

The court will open partway through this year’s local netball season, following line-marking work scheduled for spring and summer once the construction work has been completed.

The Bombala community will be able to enjoy all the new facilities when the site reopens to the public in full from spring and summer 2025.

Co-funded by the Australian Government and NSW Government through the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, this project is providing greater access to sport and recreation opportunities for communities across the wider Bombala area.

In the background while all of this progress has been made on the ground, Council’s projects team has completed planning work for the proposed stage two of the project. With these shovel-ready plans in hand and ready to go, Council is now on the hunt for the grant funding required to undertake the phase two of the Bombala Sporting Facilities Upgrade Project.

Further details will be shared once grants have been secured and the scope of the stage two works has been confirmed.

For more information about the Bombala Sporting Facilities Upgrade project, contact Council on 1300 345 345 or send an email to council@smrc.nsw.gov.au

The Death of Stalin

by Sheila Fitzpatrick: book review

By NICK GOLDIE SHEILA Fitzpatrick’s new book is not entirely devoted to Stalin’s death. There’s a good 20 pages of context to get things rolling, and a very helpful timeline starting at 21 December 1879, official date of Stalin’s birth, and the formation of the Bolshevik faction in 1903.

The timeline ends in 2000, when Putin, an admirer of Stalin, becomes President of Russia. There’s an equally helpful Cast of Characters, many of them forgotten, some of them unforgettable, like the Dulles brothers, Nikita Kruschev, Lenin, Prokofiev, and Harry S Truman.

In the USA “anti-Communism was a popular phenomenon

as well as government policy.

Ordinary Americans saw Communism as the devil’s work and feared the Soviet Union was out to conquer the world.”

Soviet attitudes were not so negative. Russians were quite favourably disposed to America, especially in the years following the War. Stalin’s daughter Svetlana was majoring in American Studies at Moscow State University and her generation was “... wild about American literature (Hemingway), American films, American jazz and American fashion.”

This was not the case in the dark ranks of the Politburo, where there were plots, counterplots, executions and

systematic terror. There was the Doctors Plot. And then came the death of the great man and the story devolves into the blackest of comedy.

Stalin lived alone and had become increasingly solitary, despite having a huge security entourage. One day he failed to emerge. What to do?

No one quite dared to go into the great man’s quarters and find out. Eventually, the fearless guards decide to send in Valentina the housekeeper, who reported that Stalin was semiconscious on the floor. Call for the doctor! But Dr Vinogradov was “in prison and therefore unavailable.” Call Malenkov, as head of government. He arrived

with Kruschev, Beria, Bulganin – but even this group did not dare to provoke Stalin’s anger, so they crept out again.

Call Dr Rapaport! No, he’s in prison too.

Eventually, Stalin’s death is confirmed. There is national mourning, statues are erected (and later removed), his grave is honoured (and later removed).

Within three weeks of Stalin’s death there is a general amnesty, and a million prisoners are released from the Gulag.

Out and about - have your say The Monaro Post walked the CBD of Cooma last Friday to ask a cross-section of local residents if ‘council should re-instate the mobile library service?’

Kelly Martin

“I think it’s a vital resource that is needed by the community, to have that library that is connecting people to town, who can’t always get into town. I think that without that they are cut-off … so it’s really sad that council would do such a thing, to take that away from the people.”

GOOD NEWS FOR ALL THE SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS. IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER TWENTY ONE GRUELLING DAYS OF ‘THE TOUR DE DUST’ CYCLING CHALLENGE.

Suzanne Dunning

“I live in town, and I choose to go to the library in town … but it does worry me that people who live out of town don’t have the convenience that I have … so I believe that a mobile library or a resource of some sort that makes sure people do have access to books if they are in those smaller towns or villages is very, very important.”

HOW ABOUT IT RON. YOU WANNA GET DRESSED UP IN COLOURFUL SKIN TIGHT LYCRA, WEAR AN AERODYNAMIC HELMET AND CRUISE AROUND THE DISTRICT WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS? AUGH YEAH ! (HICK) DAT SOUNDS LIKE IT’D BE REAL HEAPS OF FUNS. (HICK)

Brian Clifford

“Well I think it’s so important for especially the outlying areas especially like where I am, Shannons Flat, or places like Adaminaby. A lot of older people can’t get into the big centres, and I thought it was terrible the service stopped.

I mean there’s a lot of other things I believe councils can cut but I don’t believe that ever should’ve been one. Even for the school children, the school children can access a lot of books and literature as well.”

REALLY? OK THEN, I S’POSE WE’D BETTER GET YOU AN ENTRY FORM FOR THE BIG BIKE RACE.

BIKE RACE? (HICK)

WOTS DIS GOTTA DO WITHS A BIKE RACE? (HICK)

Maureen Stone

“Well I think the mobile library is very essential in the area for older generations, especially people who are elderly and can’t get into town and I feel that’s why it’s so important. Kids out Adaminaby or Berridale, Dalgety their libraries in the school would be quite small … I had grandchildren going to the little Adaminaby school and also my children when they grew up they were all rural, so I didn’t always get the opportunity to take them to the library.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Photo of the week Dalai Lama turns 90, OUR photo of the week entry in this week’s masthead comes from Holly Dowell of Cooma.

Holly is a talented photographer who has captured this stunning

ON 6 July, 2025, Tibetans and supporters worldwide celebrated the 90th birthday of Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, better known as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

We joined this global chorus of celebration from the snowy slopes of the Australian Alps, sending heartfelt wishes and prayers for his long life, health, and continued inspiration.

The Dalai Lama’s life has been a beacon of hope, compassion, and resilience. His teachings on peace, environmental stewardship, and interfaith harmony resonate deeply, offering a timeless guide for

navigating an often turbulent world.

Tragically, in occupied Tibet, the Dalai Lama’s birthday is not a day of open celebration. The Chinese authorities prohibit displays of his image, suppress mentions of his name, and criminalise even private commemorations of his life.

Here in Australia, in freedom, we are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the Dalai Lama’s legacy openly. From the Australian Alps to every corner of the world, we offer our deepest gratitude and warmest wishes on this momentous occasion.

WHERE THERE’S A WILL THERE’S A WAY… What challenges can be made to a will?

1. Challenges to a will: intention and capacity The most common form of challenge to a will is a Family Provision Claim, but that will be the subject of a later column.

There are two other ways wills are sometimes challenged. The first is whether there was the intention that the document be a will. Most solicitors remember this rather rare first type challenge from a case where there was a competition among law students to write the shortest will. “All to Mum” with just eight letters, won the competition. The student died.

Did he intend that to be a will?

A more common challenge is that the person making the will did not have the mental capacity to do so. The person making the will has to know firstly that the will disposes of their assets on death, secondly at least an outline of what assets they have, and thirdly who is in their family and who might expect to be considered. Any competent solicitor will make sure that all of these are covered when the will is made, and all other persons are excluded from the consultation. Sometimes a medical report is needed.

These days the issue often arises with notes people make on things such as furniture, letters, and informal wills. Often there are scribblings which are person’s drafts. Rather sadly, the issue probably comes up most commonly now with suicide notes where people say what they want to happen with various assets.

It can be very difficult to put evidence together about these things. Usually the evidence comes from the solicitor who made the will, the witnesses to the will, and of course the persons treating doctor. It is very important when a will is made, that the capacity or ability of the person who is making the will has been covered by the solicitor.

An informal will can now be effective, but the issue is often whether it was actually intended to be a will at the time the person died.

Don’t leave these things to chance. Get your will and estate looked after by a competent legal professional with experience in the area.

EXPERIENCE

Bowlo completes big renovation Upgrade enhances Jindabyne Bowling Club JINDABYNE Bowling and Sports Club has completed its highly anticipated club upgrade project, a milestone that marks a fresh chapter for the beloved community hub.

With construction now wrapped, locals and visitors are being welcomed into an enhanced space that better serves the social, sporting, and hospitality needs of the Snowy Mountains region.

The project, which began in early 2025, has delivered a brand-new bar area with a modern design, improved accessibility features, upgraded lighting and audio visual, and a refreshed bistro fit-out. These improvements reflect the club’s commitment to growing its role as a relaxed and inclusive meeting place for all.

“This project has been all about enhancing the experience for our members and guests,” club chairman, Nick Oakman, said.

“We’re investing in the future of the club - not just to provide a better space, but to increase visitation, drive new revenue opportunities, and be a vibrant hub that reflects our community’s spirit and meets the diverse needs of our members, locals, and visitors.”

COMPLETE: Jindabyne Bowling and Sports Club entry.

PHOTOS: Trista Heath The bistro is one of the most noticeable changes, featuring a new layout designed for better service flow and social interaction.

The main bar has also received a complete makeover, creating a range of spaces for groups of different sizes and needs.

Mr Oakman also praised the management team and staff, who maintained full club operations throughout the construction period.

“It’s no small feat to run a club while you’re rebuilding it,” he said.

“Our management team has worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep things ticking along - and they’ve done it with real

passion and pride, whilst delivering this project on time and budget. It has been an extraordinary effort.”

As part of the club’s longterm strategy, the upgrades are designed to futureproof the venue and expand its offerings from sport and entertainment to food, drink, and function spaces.

Locals are invited to come in and experience the changes firsthand. With a new winter menu and host of specials, along with the usual favourites like weekday happy hour, trivia, poker, social squash, Friday raffles, and bowls comps, there’s no better time to reconnect with the bowlo.

THE NSW Coalition will introduce a bill in parliament to crack down on criminals in the hope of making NSW the hardest place in Australia to sell illegal tobacco and vapes.

Nationals Member of the NSW Upper House, Nichole Overall, said while other states have cracked down on illegal tobacco, the current NSW Labor government has let the state become the easiest place in the country for crooks to make money.

“Everyone knows what’s going on - illegal shops run by criminals are popping up all over NSW, including the Monaro. Labor has done nothing while our communities and small businesses wear the cost. If Labor won’t clean it up, we will,” Mrs Overall said.

“Our plan will shut these shops down, hit the criminals with million-dollar fines

or jail, and make it crystal clear - if you’re dealing illegal tobacco in NSW, your days are numbered. No more soft touch. No more excuses.”

Shadow Minister for Regional Health, Gurmesh Singh, said criminals now see NSW as a soft target given the state’s weak penalties and enforcement.

“Victoria, Queensland and South Australia have all stepped up with tougher penalties and strong enforcement. Chris Minns’ inaction has left NSW exposed to more criminals, more violence and more illicit tobacco,” Mr Singh said.

“Our laws will disrupt their business model by shutting the doors, tearing up the leases, and putting the crooks behind bars. If you’re breaking the law, under the Coalition, there will be nowhere to hide.”

Successful semester for CUC Snowy Monaro

By ELORA PLUMMER, WORK EXPERIENCE THE Country Universities Centre (CUC) Snowy Monaro has had their ‘largest semester ever’ according to centre manager Nadine Holland, with 186 people registered to use the centre at the beginning of this year.

This record broke the previous highest registration set at the beginning of last year by 22 more students.

“The demand for the centre here and the facilities is increasing all the time, so we’re having to come up with ways to meet everyone’s needs with the facilities and services with our limited resources, which I think we’re doing quite well on that,” Ms Holland said.

Over the last 12 years, the CUC has supported 815 students studying a wide array of courses.

Health is currently the number one area of study for students at 22 per cent, followed by education at 21.5 per cent and psychology, social work and community services at nine per cent.

“We are very much a support service to allow people the opportunity to study what they want and through whichever organisation best suits their needs, so we can support them with that,” Ms Holland said.

Of the students studying at

the CUC, 35 per cent are studying at a post-graduate level and 29 per cent are studying at an under-graduate level, however Ms Holland also encouraged the use of the centre for vocational level of study.

“We also welcome anyone studying at vocational level to come and use the centre because we believe that if you have a good experience at a vocational level then you might consider going on and doing tertiary study after that, sometime in their future, so we want to give them that good experience,” she said.

Student Jerome Arrow is studying a Bachelor of Medicine at Australian National University and has been using the centre to study while in Cooma for regional placement, coming into the CUC on lunch breaks, afternoons and weekends.

“The facilities here are amazing. They’re fantastic to be honest. It feels very well catered in every sense technologically, but also, it’s just a good space to study for sure,” Mr Arrow said.

“There are some who come for a short six week period, and we have been recommending that they come down … it’s nice to not have to just study at your desk all the time so I have been recommending it to everyone I know.

“You meet other people who are studying all sorts of stuff, so it’s kind of nice to have those connections as well. And all different ages as well, there’s a big range.”

The CUC welcomes students of all different age groups with currently 32 per cent of students under 25 years old, 49 per cent between 25 and 44, and two students over 75.

“I think it’s good to have the regional placement students here because let’s hope that they stay in the region,” Ms Holland said.

“They’re embracing the regional lifestyle by coming to the CUC, by getting involved in our local practices and local hospital and immersing themselves in the community.”

Ms Holland said the centre has lots of exciting things planned for the rest of the year to further support the students, such as providing Year 12 students a study space in preparation for their upcoming exams.

“We have a really nice informal partnership with Monaro High at the moment, so Mr Armitage and I have worked together to have some of the Year 12 students come and study at the centre, at times that are convenient to them, in preparation for their final exams,” she said.

“Mostly those students are

The CUC will be open for registered students to study at over the upcoming school holidays allowing access to

the facilities from 5am to 2am every day.

Year 12 students looking to study to prepare for exams are welcome to use the facilities but only while staff are present and are required to register.

“After the war, Red Cross women had close alliances with the Returned Services League,” Lilibet said.

“On ANZAC Day there was a tradition to serve morning tea and lunch to the Returned Servicemen after the march and service, then the men took the ladies out to lunch on Remembrance Day. “Myself and the secretary, Marj Dingeldai, and treasurer, Pam Brayshaw, have been together for 30 years and over this time the three of us, plus three or four other members have catered at various events and we have sent more than $100,000 to headquarters to put to good use,” Lilibet said.

CLASS CORNER

Students, council working together THANKS to the initiative of two high school students at the Redlands High Country Campus in Moonbah, Snowy Monaro Regional Council is rolling out a new anti-littering campaign across Jindabyne this winter to help protect the environment and local public spaces during the peak tourist season.

Year 9 students Vivienne and Amelia approached council with their idea to raise awareness and work towards putting a stop to local littering, after their experience participating in council’s recent community cleanup event on the Lake Jindabyne foreshore.

“This project came about when, in one of our subjects, we were tasked to raise awareness or solve an issue that affects the Jindabyne or Snowy Monaro area,” Vivienne and Amelia said.

“We thought back to another one of our classes where we were sent off-campus to do rubbish collection around Lake Jindabyne.

As a group, we filled up bags and bags of rubbish that was just left in bushes, on beaches and beside the road.

“That kick-started the idea of raising awareness of the rubbish problem that the Jindabyne area faces,” the students said.

The collaboration will see posters and signage distributed to businesses throughout the town, focusing on the public spaces that are most at risk and with the highest incidence of littering during the busy ski season.

Vivienne and Amelia’s goal for the project is to raise awareness, particularly amongst visitors to the region, about the problems Jindabyne faces with litter and littering over the winter season.

“We want to make a positive impact on the Jindabyne community, especially as Sydney students, by helping keep the beautiful lake and environment clean,” Vivienne and Amelia said.

Residents and visitors can keep an eye out for the posters and signage that is rolling out across Jindabyne over the next several weeks.

Businesses interested in participating in this student-led initiative can contact council for posters or further information about the project.

Locals and visitors can report illegal dumping through the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA) RIDonline platform at https://ridonline.epa. nsw.gov.au, by calling the EPA Environment Line on 131 555, or through the free Snap Send Solve app.

St Pat’s students settle in to modern new building

By MELINDA CAIRNS HACK YEAR 6 students and their teachers at St Patrick’s School in Cooma have happily settled in to their new state-of-the-art classrooms which opened on 28 February.

The building, which consists of two joined rooms divided internally by soundproof glass sliding doors, accommodates 18 students per class.

“And Bern and I love coming to work, everyday we have such big smiles - we want these classrooms forever!”

Despite the glass doors, students from both classes carry on with their work, without distraction.

“We thought they would be looking at each other through the doors, but that’s not happening, which is good,” Ms Reneker said.

Christian school turns pink for good cause SNOWY Mountains Christian School has raised awareness about breast cancer and research by hosting a Go Pink Day last month.

The school’s student service council (SSC) organised the event, which included a wear pink day and a few other activities.

Before the day, the SSC handed out coloring in pages created

by Imogen Walker. For this competition, students could only use shades of pink to colour their picture.

Even though it was challenging to use only pink, the results impressed staff.

The occasion presented a very pink day with the students and

staff wearing pink. Some of the students and staff really embraced the colour and wore pink head to toe.

In the afternoon, the students had a chance to ice and decorate milk arrowroot biscuits with pink icing and sprinkles.

They were also given a craft challenge to create pink birds using a set number of items. Some birds had loads of feathers, others had pink rhinestones everywhere.

There were big birds and small birds, and birds of a new breed.

The school raised $2278 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This money will go towards the goal of achieving zero deaths from breast cancer.

GENEROUS: The Snowy Mountains Christian School community has raised more than $2000 to support the National Breast Care Foundation.

Monaro recommended for UNESCO biosphere listing CENTRAL PLAINS LANDSCAPE OF VERY HIGH VALUE: REPORT

By NATHAN THOMPSON A REPORT detailing the environmental, cultural and heritage values of the central Monaro plains has recommended the landscape be placed on state and national heritage lists.

More than 100 Snowy Monaro landholders and residents attended a community meeting last week to hear the findings of a report - Central Monaro Plains Deep Landscape Values Assessment prepared by Dr Dennis Williamson of Geoscene International.

The area studied by Dr Williamson covers 336,000 hectares with the report finding more than 65 per cent of the central Monaro plains is of high to very high landscape value.

Dr Williamson found the iconic Monaro landscape has such significant environmental values it should be pursued for inclusion as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Biosphere Reserve.

Currently in Australia there are only four biosphere reserves.

UNESCO Biosphere Reserves are areas demonstrating a balanced relationship between people and nature, promoting conservation and sustainable development.

Community group REAL Monaro (Renewable Energy and Landscape for Monaro) hosted the meeting.

The group believes the report provides further evidence in support of their calls opposing the proposed Coonerang Wind Farm at The Brothers.

ACTION: More than 100 Snowy Monaro landholders and residents gather to hear the findings of a landscape assessment of the central Monaro plains.

PHOTO: Supplied ‘The Central Monaro Plains represent a big landscape, a cinema-graphic landscape, a landscape that is at once subtle and understated, and at the same time, a landscape that tells an incredible Australian story,’ the final paragraphs of the conclusion read.

‘It is a landscape of utmost importance in terms of the role it has played in Australia’s historic development, as well as its presentday environmental, ecological, and cultural significance and identity.

‘There may be different pathways to and recommendations for

the management and protection of the great region of Australia.

As many of these pathways as possible need to be taken, including reconciliation between the Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal people of the Monaro.’

Monaro landholder and member of Real Monaro, Jim Litchfield, said the report highlights the significance of the plains.

“Any assessment of future land use and planning has to look at the Monaro wholistically and from every aspect and Dr Williamson has done an extraordinary job putting together the diverse and

unique attributes of the Central Monaro in this document,” Mr Litchfield said.

Prepared over a 14-month period of intense research and assessment, the report showcases the Monaro and its unique landscape diversity, highlighting the region as an ecological hotspot of threatened ecological communities and species, as well as an area rich in Indigenous cultural heritage and nonIndigenous heritage values.

The independent report concludes the landscape is of higher enough value to pursue:

- UNESCO Global Geopark - UNESCO Biosphere Reserve - Australian GeoRegion - National Heritage List - NSW Heritage List – Aboriginal dreaming and sacred areas - NSW Heritage List – Monaro Railway and sweeping grassy plains - NSW Heritage List – threatened Entities and the Monaro volcanic province - Reconciliation and reconnection of Monaro Indigenous communities - Extension of Scenic Protection Land SEPP in SMRC LEP

Winter brings lift in prices: market update

By DAMIEN ROACH, LIVESTOCK ACCOUNT MANAGER, NUTRIEN LIVESTOCK COOMA AS JUNE drew to a close, livestock markets across southern NSW and Victoria experienced notable shifts.

Despite a steady decrease in the number of livestock yarded this month, prices have lifted across all categories of sheep and cattle, offering a silver lining for local producers.

Recent rainfall across southern NSW and Victoria has aided

re-stocker competition, with increased demand for stock to remain locally.

This climate boost has encouraged confidence amongst re-stockers and is supporting stronger prices, especially as crops sown earlier in the year are now set to benefit from improved growing conditions.

The sheep and lamb market has been exceptionally strong, particularly heavy lambs and heavy mutton.

Mutton prices got out to $310/ head and lambs hit $430 in Forbes

last week. Re-stocker lambs have followed the trend with the better end getting out to $200 as traders look to get some quick turn around lambs.

The cattle sector has particularly benefitted from reduced supply, with fat cattle prices enjoying a healthy rise due to the scarcity for processors.

In notable regional results, cows at Wagga lifted by 30 cents this week (as of June 30), and the Cooma cattle sale last Friday, 27 June saw increased competition for kill stock.

Northern orders, particularly for backgrounder cattle, continue to be present, although orders have tapered off in recent weeks.

The onset of winter has seen fewer numbers moving out of the Monaro region, a trend attributed to earlier reductions in herd sizes and producers’ willingness to hold stock until spring.

Despite a challenging autumn that has seen stock presented in less finished condition than in previous years, robust pricing has persisted across the markets.

Re-stocker cattle are now sought

after in the Riverina and Northern Victoria, with emphasis on pregnancy tested in calf cows or cows and calves to fill emerging orders.

Producers with suitable stock are encouraged to contact their local agents.

Looking ahead, the next Cooma cattle sale is pencilled in for 25 July, pending numbers. Producers with surplus cattle considering entering this sale are urged to reach out to their agents promptly to take advantage of these favourable market conditions.

Manna is a documentary project An independent documentary which explores the causes of maker who graduated the Eucalyptus Viminalis dieback University of Canberra with a in the Monaro region, and Bachelor of Film Production in 2019, Magdalene has since worked the associated environmental on several projects with The Walk impacts.

Manna explores the World Productions while also intricate nature of ecosystems developing Foothill Films, her own business, covering events and and examines how these environmental collapses occur creating documentary projects. as a result of numerous stressing “This is my first directed film factors – usually linked to land to be recognised in a festival -

management practices and climate change.

Through a series of interviews with researchers, landholders, activists and artists, Manna investigates these factors, bringing the viewer to a discussion about the complications associated with such a large-scale collapse of life.

The film’s synopsis states ‘What once was living, breathing woodland now stands with only the hollow wind to pass across the branches of dead trees. Manna is a discussion on the silent collapse of the Monaro grassy woodland ecosystem, a decline linked to land management regimes and climate extremes. These dieback events happen worldwide, often slowly, and without notice. Manna explores how this particular event has come about, what the response has been and what the way forward looks like.’

Manna is an entirely independent project with no financial backing which has certainly made it a slow process.

“From the very start (doing research, pen to paper and making phone calls to initial interviewees) to the very end of exporting a final product, it was about four years,” Magdalene said.

She received generous support from local composer Dante Clavijo who produced the score and engineered the sound.

“Manna is striving to connect with viewers by using the audiovisual art form to generate both an intellectual and emotional response in the audience, encouraging them to deeply consider these important social

and environmental issues beyond the confines of the cinema,” Magdalene said.

“The musical score is integral to this balance.”

The Far South Film Festival is produced by a volunteer team from Far South Film Inc, a not-for-profit incorporated association of professional and emerging filmmakers and digital creatives living in south east regional NSW. Tickets for the festival are available at farsouthfilmfestival. com/2025-program LOCAL DOCO: Manna is a documentary project by local filmmaker, Magdalene Shatrov, which explores the causes of Eucalyptus Viminalis dieback in the Monaro Region, and the associated environmental impacts. It has been selected for screening at this year’s Far South Film Festival.

Maggie Shatrov is very excited about her film’s selection in the Far South Film Festival.

Landholders have say on key land use strategy LANDHOLDERS across the Snowy Monaro are being encouraged to provide feedback on a key strategy, designed to shape the future of housing, growth and land management in the region.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council has placed its draft residential, commercial and industrial lands strategy 20252045 on public exhibition until September 1.

At last month’s council meeting, councillors voted in favour of placing the document out for

community consultation for eight weeks.

Community drop-in-sessions will be held throughout the region during July and August.

The first of these sessions will be held at the Kalkite Rural Fire Service shed on 16 July from 5pm to 7pm.

Sessions are set for Jindabyne, Dalgety, Bombala, Cooma, Berridale, Bredbo, and Adaminaby.

To provide feedback online, visit yoursaysnowymonaro.com. au/lands25

The purpose of the draft Strategy is to: • outline the location and type of future housing and employment growth for Snowy Monaro until 2045 • ensure there is an available supply of suitably zoned land to accommodate Snowy Monaro’s projected growth • inform decision-making by Council, federal and state government service providers, the community and developers • inform the preparation, assessment and determination

of planning proposals There are six guiding principles that have been developed within the draft strategy: - Growth and infrastructure/ services are aligned to promote liveable, walkable communities, make efficient use of existing/ planned infrastructure/services and minimise environmental impact.

- Settlement roles: development and growth will be focused towards strategic and local centres.

Concerns over African Lovegrass raised Local landholders urge pollies to work together MEMBER for Eden-Monaro, Kristy McBain, has met with a local working group of landholders and farmers to hear concerns on African Lovegrass (ALG) and the environment, economic and fire safety crisis it is causing, wiping out unique high value native grasslands and replacing it with a monoculture.

The group has also recently discussed the issue with the NSW Environment minister, Penny Sharpe, through Member for Monaro, Steve Whan.

Former grazier, Howard Charles OAM, established the working group in December 2023 after widespread confusion in the Snowy Monaro over state and federal environment laws surrounding spraying out noxious weeds.

Group spokesperson, Ant Waldren, said farmers were being reported and prosecuted for spraying out infestations of ALG and sewing species to curb its further spread.

“These farmers, at their own considerable expense, were trying to improve their country and stop the spread of ALG, which has been reported as the number one risk to koalas today,” Mr Waldren said.

“Long time residents of Bredbo and Dalgety worry love grass fires will burn their communities if these farmers aren’t allowed to farm the open country on the Monaro to halt ALG spread.”

There is only seven per cent of the Monaro left with high value native grassland, largely due to the massive spread of high infestations of ALG, which covered an area of 3000 HA on the Monaro in 1986 and increased more than 30-fold to

cover 100,000 HA on the Monaro by 2020.

“Ironically in the last five years, with farmers being hampered by well-meaning but not-fitfor-purpose state and federal environment laws, and inaccurate Native Vegetation Regulatory (NVR) Maps - which propose regulating 70 per cent of the Monaro Grasslands - high infestation of ALG has increased by another 50,000 HA between 2020 and 2025,” Mr Waldren said.

“Ross Sherlock, a landholder member of our working group, and long time Monaro Fire Brigade captain says he is seeing ALG fires reach nine metres in height, and that there is no number of resources that can stop a fire like this in the wrong weather conditions, and he will not put fire crews near a fire like this.

“ALG has now created a yearround fire season on the Monaro, and in the interests of protecting our flora and fauna and community being overrun by fires caused

by ALG, we ask all politicians to support Kristy and Steve in implementing the five-year pilot plan Howard Charles and our working group is proposing.”

The working group is calling on all levels of government to actively promote landholders with ALG infestations on the Monaro to implement a best practice five-year intense spraying and cropping program on arable areas to increase high ground cover and fertility.

“This, every time, needs to be done with the carrot, and not stick approach, and incentive-based with tax rebates and longer-term low interest loans etc,” Mr Waldren said.

“The working group has thanked the Local Land Services (LLS) area manager for taking the Natural Resource Commission to see a high infestation of ALG in national park open country on the edge of Cooma.

“We ask the government to ensure national parks land and Crown land arable country around our towns and along the highways have the same five-year intensive improvement program of boom spraying and cropping, to protect the areas in these paddocks of high value native grasses and protect our community from being overrun with fire. We see this as a duty of care.

“Alongside this we ask the government to get rid of current NVR maps and get all agronomists in the area accredited to work with LLS and Monaro landholders to create on-farm maps identifying areas of medium and high value native grasslands, so they can protect these areas from noxious weed incursion.”

The working group is urging the local, state and federal members, and Independent ACT Senator David Pocock to meet with Howard Charles and Barry Aitchison OAM to discuss fire management in the region’s national parks.

“The fire trails in the mountains needs considerable mitigation,” Mr Waldren said.

“Since the 2019 and 2020 fires there is a mass of fallen timber on either side, making future fires likely to jump these trails.

“The 2003 fires wiped out whole populations of mountain ash and scorched 2.5 million hectares of ACTION: A Snowy Monaro working group comprising landholders and mountain country. Then in 2019, farmers are calling on state and federal governments to act on their 2020 it happened again.” concerns over the spread of African Lovegrass.

Local Land Services’ annual farm census underway SNOWY Monaro landholders are being asked to report their livestock numbers and land use information as part of Local Land Services’ annual farm census.

The annual land and stock return collects important information that helps shape the delivery of essential animal health and biosecurity services and prepare for emergencies such as bushfires and biosecurity outbreaks.

Landholders must lodge their

return by 31 August via the online portal or by completing the paper form received in the mail.

Local Land Services’ Executive Director Delivery, Rob Kelly, said the annual land and stock return helped paint a picture of agricultural land use and livestock across NSW at the time of the 30 June census date.

“An accurate snapshot helps the NSW government respond quickly and accurately to

emergencies such as bushfires and floods, monitor flock and herd health and carry out emergency animal disease surveillance,” Mr Kelly said.

“This helps protect NSW from the threat of pests, diseases and emergencies while supporting primary producers and keeping supply chains strong.

“We recognise many farmers have faced significant challenges recently that have impacted their stock levels, including drought

conditions in southern parts of the state.

“Despite these challenges, it is still important for everyone to lodge their annual land and stock return as this information allows us to better respond in emergency situations and deliver timely animal health and biosecurity advice.”

Those who need advice or support can reach out to Local Land Services on 1300 795 299 or visit the nearest office.

Producers set for carbon conversation MONARO Farming Systems (MFS) will deliver its latest carbon conversations workshop later this month with a Cooma session planned to inform and educate landholders on carbon emissions and farming.

Maffra sheep producer and grazier, Andrew Rolfe, will deliver the workshop alongside agribusiness manager, Jono Forrest.

Mr Rolfe has an agronomy background and Mr Forrest an

agri-accounting background.

The workshop is on 23 July at the Alpine Hotel between 9am and 3pm.

A total of five workshops are scheduled to take place across the Monaro over the year, delivered with funding support from the Australian government via the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

The first session was held in

Bombala in June.

Executive officer MFS, Rebecca Kading, said those who attended the Bombala workshop were from a wide range of age groups, with strong participation from both male and female producers.

“Most enterprises represented were pastoral livestock and broadacre livestock, with additional interest in conservation, intensive animal industries, and horticulture,” Ms Kading said.

MLA delivers strategic plan MEAT and Livestock Australia (MLA) has unveiled a bold new vision to lift the Australian red meat and livestock industry’s productivity, profitability and sustainability with its new Strategic Plan 2030.

MLA’s Strategic Plan 2030 sets out its investment focus across marketing and innovation for the $81 billion red meat industry over the next five years. The plan is the result of a year-long, nation-wide consultation process with producers, peak industry bodies, supply chain partners, government, research and development corporations, and other stakeholders.

“Productivity and profitability will underpin the sustainability and prosperity of our great industry,” MLA managing director, Michael Crowley, said.

“By focusing on value creation and capture along the supply chain, we will deliver benefits that translate into profitability for the production sector.”

Mr Crowley said the Strategic Plan 2030 remains aligned to the wider industry’s strategic plan – Red Meat 2030. Red Meat 2030 has updated the industry’s goal from carbon neutral by 2030 (CN30) to ‘contributing to Australia’s net zero ambitions’, which moves the industry into alignment with the Australian government’s 2050 commitments.

“The red meat industry set its CN30 goal in 2017 before the government had established its climate goals. It drove investments of more than $100 million into sustainability

projects,” Mr Crowley said.

“Our research, innovation and investment has paid dividends, and we won’t be slowing down. With the backing of our red meat industry bodies, MLA will continue our focus on reducing emissions and reducing emissions intensity per kilogram of production.”

According to a CSIRO study, the red meat industry has reduced net greenhouse gas emissions by almost 78 per cent, against the 2005 baseline.

“Reaching CN30 was dependent on the right levels of investment and policy settings, we now know we need more time, more support and more investment to reach our goal,” Mr Crowley said.

“We will keep pushing forward to reach our sustainability goals. It’s what our producers, our community and our customers demand.

“Productivity-led sustainability will ensure we can grow the herd and flock while delivering positive environmental outcomes. We will continue to invest in carbon storage and emissions avoidance initiatives.

Additional leverage will be achieved through our partnership with Zero Net Emissions for Agriculture CRC.” MLA’s Strategic Plan 2030 will accelerate investment in practical, science-based solutions, such as tools and calculators that help producers lower emissions and improve productivity. It also includes projects focused on land management strategies to build climate resilience.

MHS Rowan Sandercoe Awards

By ELORA PLUMMER, WORK EXPERIENCE MONARO High School held their mid-year Rowan Sandercoe Award ceremony on Thursday, 3 July to acknowledge the effort and hard work of students in their studies.

The award ceremony is named in honour of the late Rowan Sandercoe who was a Monaro High School teacher for 16 years and created the awards out of his passion for public education.

Mr Sandercoe’s wife, Jan, and son, Kristian, attended the ceremony to present the High Achiever Awards and Rowan Sandercoe Shield to the best performing students in each year group. The Rowan Sandercoe Shield for Outstanding Academic Achievement is awarded to the student in each year with the highest academic results across the most subjects.

The shield winners for Semester one include Indiana Hedger (year 7), Isla Stockl

(year 8), Zoe Williams (year 9), Dhanuka Karunaratne (year 10), Emily Anderson (year 11) and Jenika Chotar-Kent (year 12).

Principal, James Armitage, delivered a motivational speech at the assembly, commending the students on their dedication and encouraging them to continue to apply themselves within their academic studies.

“This gathering isn’t just about certificates or applause, it’s about honouring effort behind every achievement,” Mr Armitage said.

“Success doesn’t just happen by chance, it’s built through consistent effort, willingness to grow and hard work.

“To our award recipients, you’ve demonstrated what’s possible when hard work meets purpose, you’ve inspired others and we’re incredibly proud of your achievements.

“To those who haven’t received an award today, your progress matters too. Success doesn’t always come with an award, sometimes it looks a little bit

different … Keep going, I’m sure growth is happening for most of you and your time will come.

“Today is a celebration, but it is also a reminder, talent opens doors, effort is what carries us through them. Keep striving, keep believing in yourself, and never underestimate the impact of consistent hard work.”

Monaro High School students should be proud of their academic achievements and their efforts in school for semester one, he said.

Bears valiant in defeat THE Snowy River Bears’ league tag came up against a red-hot and organised Harden Hawks team with the Bears struggling to shut down a fast and evasive attack.

Although the Bears managed a few line breaks, including a great solo try for Izzy Warby, Harden had the running of the game from the outset, the scoreboard 42-4 a true indicator of the result.

To the Bears’ defence, they were without any substitutes, and the team had not fielded the same run on side all season.

In true Bears style, they celebrated their only try with a show of emotion and great team spirit.

NSTC Snowready Scholarship a curtain raise THE first students to take part in the National Snowsport Training Centre (NSTC) Snowready Interschools Scholarship Program have made the most of their dry-land training experience with participants benefiting from a day of coaching, tailored physical conditioning and educational sessions in the lead up to the first Interschools event for 2025.

Held at the NSTC, the session attracted 35 students ranging from first time attendees to the NSTC, to returning participants.

It is the first of five sessions to be held throughout the season, with 120 participants applying to be part of the program in 2025.

Following a welcome and introduction from NSTC general manager, Cathy Lambert, participants took part in a warm-up before breaking into groups for the main activities of the day – a two-hour session on the airbag and an acro and physical literacy session.

After a quick lunch to refuel and re-energise in the athlete lounge and kitchen, the groups swapped over for the afternoon activities.

To finish off the day, participants and their parents came together to attend an engaging Q&A session with NSWIS athlete, Joey Elliss, and National Alpine athlete, Abbey Evans, who talked about their journey from Interschool participant to Olympic hopeful. Moguls Olympian, ex-Moguls coach and NSTC staff member, Nicole Parks, also shared some of her experience as an athlete.

As well as smiles and enthusiasm, Lambert said participants walked away from the day with an abundance of new skills and knowledge that they would be able to put into practice during the season.

“The participants all expressed that they had a great time and some shared the goals they had set before attending the session and the progression they had made in achieving the goals,” Lambert said.

“We look forward to hosting upcoming events and seeing the participants return in the future.”

The NSTC Snowready Interschools Scholarship Program, supported by the Perisher and Thredbo Interschools Athlete Scholarship, provides free dry-land

training opportunities for Interschools participants from NSW, ACT, and Queensland.

Snow Australia’s community engagement manager, Rebecca Clark, said the initiative reflects a strong partnership with Perisher and Thredbo.

“Thanks to the generous support of Perisher and Thredbo, Snow Australia is able to offer structured dryland training experiences to Interschools participants across NSW, ACT, and Queensland as they prepare for their events,” Clark said.

“As well as helping kids get competition ready, the NSTC Snowready Interschools Scholarship Program is opening doors to broader opportunities in snowsports. We hope it will inspire greater participation and longterm engagement with our sport,” she said.

For many families, the program has already made a meaningful impact.

“Our girls have only tried alpine ski racing so the world of trampoline training and jump training was unexpected and scary at first, but they came good and pushed themselves and did great,” parent, Holger Kohler, said.

Heelers trifecta treat

Bombala seals memorable local derby day

By NATHAN THOMPSON

THE Bombala Blue Heelers’ efforts on Sunday have been described by long-time supporters as one of the best in the club’s proud history.

The Blue Heelers registered wins in all three grades against local rivals the Cooma Stallions.

First grade bounced back from last week’s loss to Bega with a 22-8 win over Cooma, reserves were far too strong winning 366, and the High Heelers finished 62-0 over the Cooma Fillies.

A special Sunday of rugby league took place at the Bombala Exhibition Ground as the Blue Heelers celebrated ladies day.

The club honoured its High Heelers league-tag side, and all the women who volunteer and support the club.

Before the league-tag fixture, ladies day jerseys were presented to the Bombala side.

Fittingly, the team went out and showed why they have been Group 16’s most dominant side over the last 10 years.

Lily Hampshire crossed for a hat-trick as her side raced in 12 tries.

Bombala’s reserves were too good for Cooma, winning by 30 points. The win moves the side into second on the ladder.

First grade returned to form with a tough 22-8 win over Monaro rivals the Stallions. The win puts Bombala back into fifth spot and in finals contention.

An exciting game awaits the team this Sunday at home against Narooma. Narooma sits in sixth, but on equal points with Bombala. A win for the Blue Heelers would go a long way to continuing its finals hopes.

SUCCESS: The Bombala Blue Heelers Club celebrates ladies day on Sunday. Its High Heelers league-tag side don special jerseys for the occasion.

By COOLAMATONG GOLF CLUB SUNDAY’S golf scores were some of the best for the winter season, with Steve Dunn shooting an impressive 41 stableford points, Nigel Bolton runner up with 39, and Jackson Holtham in third position on 38 points.

Dunn had one of his best rounds in many years, shooting a par round of 71 from his five handicap, including 12 pars and three birdies.

Bolton, also in A grade, shot 74 for what was still an impressive round, even though he was off the pace of Dunn’s scoring.

The ball comp included Felix Bertossi on 36, Mick Thoms 34, Mitch Canty 34, Cameron McKid 33, Ewan Murdoch 33, Bruce Hart 33, Ross Thompson 33, Cody Dixon 32, Ben Hearn 32, and Megan Haigh on 32.

attie on three, Mick Thoms on eight, and Ben Beattie on 15.

The ladies nearest the pins were won by Jan O’Halloran on eight and Janeece Peters on 17.

Red Devils’ finals ready

CROOKWELL CLASH TO DETERMINE HOME SEMI-FINAL

By NATHAN THOMPSON AFTER ten years without playing finals rugby, you could understand if the Cooma Red Devils were satisfied with just reaching the pointy end of the season.

Red Devils coach, James Quodling, is eyeing more than just a fourth placed finish. He said the side is working as hard as ever to finish second or third (the latter would secure a home minor semifinal).

A forfeit last Saturday by the Australian Defence Force Academy secured the Red Devils place in the finals, but now the side’s attention turns to its biggest home clash of year.

On Saturday, 12 July, the Red Devils host fourth placed Crookwell with the winner going a long way to finishing third and earning the right to host the minor semi-final.

The fixture holds additional significance with both sides

contesting the inaugural James Cup. The James Cup was instigated by Red Devils life member, Marcus Caldwell, and the Crookwell club to honour the contributions of Cooma rugby stalwart, James Quodling, and Crookwell stalwart, James McCormack.

“The cup came as a surprise to me and players but it is nice recognition,” Quodling said.

“James McCormack and I are mates from school and we played

representative rugby together.”

The cup is contested over the two home and away games dring the season. The Red Devils accounted for Crookwell earlier this year 32-21 and take an 11 point lead into this weekend’s match.

While Quodling said he is honoured to have a cup jointly named after him, a win to lock in third spot is his main focus.

“There is lots to play for this weekend, the winner will finish

third and could finish as high as second,” Quodling said.

“The next fortnight is big for us.

Our mid-season slump is over and numbers at training have been very good.”

The Red Devils last featured in the finals in 2015. Quodling said the feeling in the club is positive with both the men’s and women’s sides headed for the finals.

“The feeling is good. Everyone has worked hard this year,” Quodling said.
