‘Fed-up, Gathering to remember impatient’: prosecutor tells a true gentleman jury in trial

By NATHAN THOMPSON A JURY will decide this week if NSW Senior Constable, Kristian White, is guilty or not-guilty of the manslaughter of 95-year-old, Clare Nowland.

White’s trial lasted eight-days in the NSW Supreme Court where he maintained his not-guilty plea to the manslaughter of Mrs Nowland, who he tasered in her Yallambee Lodge residence on May 17, 2023.

White, alongside another NSW Police officer and two NSW ambulance officers, attended Yalllambee Lodge in the early hours of May 17, following a triple-zero call from a Yallambee Lodge worker. Mrs Nowland was found wandering around Yallambee Lodge with a knife.

White’s defence team did not contest Mrs Nowland died a week later as a result of her injuries from being tasered, but argued the officer’s actions were in proportion to the risk faced.

In closing statements before Justice Ian Harrison and to the jury, defence barrister, Troy Edwards SC, asked the jury to consider that multiple witnesses said they were ‘scared’ the knife could be used on them.

Prosecutor, Brett Hatfield SC, put to the jury that White was ‘fed-up’ and ‘impatient’. Earlier in the trial when White was on the stand under cross-examination, Mr Hatfield asked the office if stepping away would’ve avoided any risk.

At the time of this masthead going to print, the jury was still to deliver its verdict. Check our website for an updated story.

Community endeavour brightens Sharp Street THE Cooma Chamber of Commerce has embarked on an initiative to enhance the heart of the town by lighting up Sharp Street.

Chamber members say this community-driven project, supported by local businesses, has transformed the streetscape into a vibrant and inviting space.

At the centre of the project lies the installation of 60 metres of sparkling fairy lights on 10 iconic trees along Sharp Street. These lights serve as more than just a decorative addition; they symbolise unity, creativity, and a shared vision for the town’s future.

“Beyond aesthetics, the project promises tangible benefits for the local economy,” chamber secretary, Alicia Bolton, said.

“The illuminated street will create a welcoming ambiance for night-time activities, encouraging residents and visitors alike to explore local shops, dine out, and enjoy the town’s unique charm after dark.”

This initiative is a testament to the power of collaboration and the vibrant spirit of Cooma’s community.

As the lights begin to shine, Sharp Street will not only look brighter but also embody the shared hopes and aspirations of the people who call this town home.

The chamber thanked the following businesses in sponsoring a tree to bring this project to light: Mainstreet Clothing, Mack’s Auto, the Cooma Car Club, Hip Pocket Cooma, the Alpine Hotel, the Cooma Ex-Services Club, ACEN Solar.

If you would like to contribute and support this project, contact the Cooma Chamber of Commerce as there are many more trees to light up.

Improved mobile coverage in region LOCALS and visitors to Jerangle are benefiting from new and improved 4G mobile coverage through the Federal Government’s Mobile Black Spot Program (MBSP).

A new small cell base station has been switched on at Jerangle, with funding from the Australian Government and Telstra, under round four of the MBSP. A new macro cell base station at Maragle has been delivered, jointly funded by the Australian Government, New South Wales Government and Telstra, under Round 5A of the MBSP. These base stations are part of 1,500 delivered under the MBSP, and in addition to improving mobile and data connectivity, will enhance public safety communications during emergencies and natural disasters.

The Federal Government is also delivering $5.4 million in funding to support new mobile base stations at priority locations across EdenMonaro, under the Improving Mobile Coverage Round.

The plan includes funding to boost mobile coverage and resilience, and to conduct an independent audit to better identify mobile blackspots across Australia.

“We know how important access to reliable connectivity is, particularly for regional areas impacted or prone to natural disasters – which is why we continue to improve mobile coverage in black spot areas across Eden-Monaro,” Member for Eden-Monaro, Kristy McBain, said.

“These new base stations will make a huge difference to the mobile coverage at Jerangle – supporting locals to run their businesses and to keep in touch with family and friends.

“I’ll continue working with communities in the Snowy Monaro and Snowy Valleys to advocate for coverage improvements, and to narrow the connectivity divide in our regional areas.”

Monaro Dance Studio embraces journey From humble beginnings to community pillar THIS year marked a milestone for Monaro Dance Centre with the organisation celebrating 30 years of dance.

The weekend’s festivities, which included heartfelt reunions, iconic performances, and reflections on decades of artistry, demonstrated the profound impact the studio has had on its students and the wider community.

Founded by Helen Linkenbagh in 1994, Monaro Dance Centre evolved from its origins as Debra Rose School of Dance.

Under Helen’s leadership, the studio flourished, with Cynthia Dolan spearheading an expansion to Bombala, Delegate, and Nimmitabel, spreading a love of dance to even the most remote areas of the region.

During this time, the Jindabyne studio was also opened, further embedding Monaro Dance Centre into the heart of the Snowy Mountains.

In 2006, the studio entered a new era as Kayla Bogatek stepped into the role of director.

A former student of Helen’s, Kayla committed herself to providing students with the same opportunities she had been given growing up. Under

her leadership, Monaro Dance Centre has continued to thrive, fostering a love of dance and community among thousands of students.

Mrs Bogatek expressed her gratitude to everyone who has played a role in Monaro Dance Centre’s journey.

“The most amazing memories have been made, and it’s all because of you, the community.

Thank you for 30 incredible years,” she said.

2024 has been a leading year for Monaro Dance Centre. Students embarked on their third trip to the USA, performing at Disneyland and

Universal Studios, representing their studio on the international stage. Monaro Dance Centre’s Showgroup competed in four competitions, achieving outstanding results.

The studio’s commitment to giving back was on full display as their teaching team choreographed a fundraiser for the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research (MCCR), and raised $2000 for Dance for Sick Kids and Ronald McDonald House. Students also excelled in their Royal Academy of Dance ballet exams, showcasing their dedication to technical excellence.

The culmination of these achievements was the spectacular 30th anniversary concert, where current and former students, teachers, and community members came together to celebrate.

The anniversary concert was filled with emotion and nostalgia. Past teachers and students joined Kayla on stage for a reunion performance, while current teachers paid homage to the past by recreating iconic routines from more than 25 years ago.

One of the most moving moments of the night featured today’s students performing

routines alongside projections of archival footage, with restored costumes adding a tangible link to Monaro Dance Centre’s rich history.

Over the past 30 years, more than 1000 students have walked through the doors of Monaro Dance Centre. For many, it has been more than just a place to dance, it has been a second home, a place of growth, joy, and belonging.

As Monaro Dance Centre looks to the future, its legacy of nurturing talent, fostering community, and spreading a love of dance will continue to inspire generations to come.

Grant funding to support faith groups FAITH groups in the Snowy Monaro are encouraged to apply for a share of $5 million to make their places of worship and commemoration safer and more secure.

They will be able to apply for grants of $5,000 to $250,000 under the Safe Places for Faith Communities program which opened earlier this month.

This new grant round gives those who missed out in the previous funding round and new applicants a chance to apply for funding to be used anywhere in NSW at eligible faith-based centres including places of worship, seminaries, religious museums, religious community centres, religious retreats and places of religious significance.

The program takes a holistic approach to safety and security by supporting community preparedness, wellbeing and resilience, as well as more traditional protective security measures at places where faith communities gather.

Jindabyne Uniting Church welcomes Reverend Wendy

By TRISTA HEATH ON A bluebird spring day, a congregation of around 50 gathered to support the induction of Reverend Wendy McHugh as Community Minister of Jindabyne Alpine Uniting Church on Saturday November 23.

The traditional service saw the co-chair of the Canberra Region Presbytery, Reverend Dr Paul Chalson, and other Ministers of Presbytery dress in their Albs as they presented Reverend Wendy as the new Community Minister.

Beginning her placement on November 1, Reverend Wendy has gotten to know the congregation and the community and is excited to take her position at the Jindabyne Alpine Uniting Church.

“Being the minister of a congregation like this is really exciting, I didn’t know there were congregations like this,” Reverend Wendy said.

“The whole community of this congregation really excites me, I would love to see all congregations with a community focus like this, it is where we should be, and I am excited to come along and journey with the people here in Jindabyne and see where God leads us.

Nairn honoured with state memorial

By MELINDA CAIRNS HACK THE life of the honourable Gary Nairn AO was remembered and celebrated at a state memorial service last Friday at Mulloon Institute’s Home Farm near Bungendore.

Mr Nairn, best known in the local region for holding the seat of EdenMonaro from 1996 - 2007, and as strategic advisor for Monaro Early Intervention Services, a not-for-profit organisation helping young children with disabilities, died from cancer on June 1, aged 73.

The state memorial was attended by family, friends, representatives of organisations and members of the public, including many residents from the Snowy Monaro.

Family, colleagues and friends spoke of a quiet, hard-working, passionate, unassuming, intelligent, caring and loving husband, father, businessman and mate – an exceptional and charitable leader, and a gentleman, who served Australia extensively in many ways including his involvement in surveying and spatial sciences, his leadership in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, sustainable agriculture and environmental regeneration practices,

conservation initiatives and farming practices through the Mulloon Institute, and his service to Australia both as a Federal Member and as a Minister.

He also happened to be a rugby and cricket tragic, loved a single malt whisky from Tasmania’s Lark Distillery, and, after living and working in Europe, developed a love affair with France - “smelly” cheeses, olives and champagne high on his list of favourite French things.

Taking pride of place in

front of the lectern as part of the floral display was Mr Nairn’s trademark Akubra hat and Officer of the Order of Australia medal.

Speaking at the service was Mr Nairn’s wife, Rose; Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories and Member for Eden-Monaro, Kristy McBain MP – representing the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese; colleague and friend David Hawker AO; Professor Abbas Rajabifard University of Melbourne; chair, The Duke of Edinburgh, Tom Mould AO; Mulloon Institute CEO and managing director, Carolyn Hall, and friends David White and Anne Riches.

Mr Nairn was the managing director of his own surveying and mapping practice in Darwin.

He entered politics when he became president of the Northern Territory Country Liberal Party.

Mr Nairn and his family eventually returned to NSW, where in 1996, he was elected as the federal member for EdenMonaro. While serving as a parliamentarian in the Howard Government, Mr Nairn was appointed as Parliamentary secretary

to the Prime Minister and as Special Minister of State. He was the chair on Parliamentary Committees, including the 2003 House of Representatives Select Committee into Australian Bushfires.

After his retirement from Parliament he was appointed chair of Mulloon Institute; national chair of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award – Australia; a director of the Biodiversity and Conservation Trust of NSW; chair of the Northern Territory Planning Commission; and chair of the University of Melbourne Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures and Land Administration (CSDILA) International Advisory Committee which comprises distinguished Australian and overseas leaders in spatial science and technologies from academia and industry.

In 2015 Mr Nairn was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia for his distinguished service to the Parliament, to the communities of NSW and the Northern Territory, to the surveying and spatial sciences, and to disability support groups.

In recognition of his tenure as CSDILA

International Advisory Committee chair and his contribution to the centre, a leadership medal, named in Mr Nairn’s honour, was launched by Professor Rajabifard at the Memorial Service.

“Gary was a visionary leader, an esteemed colleague who made a significant contribution across industry, academia and politics,” professor Rajabifard said.

“He was a dignified and distinguished Statesman, who engaged with people of all walks of life, generously giving of his time and genuinely curious about the communities he served and how he could improve their situation.

“The Gary Nairn leadership medal will be awarded annually by our centre at the University of Melbourne to recognise an individual who has demonstrated leadership and excellence in the service of the spatial industry.

“The university, to further commemorate Gary’s legacy, has created a special version of this leadership medal for Gary’s family as a symbol of our deep gratitude and respect. This initiative we trust will go some way to recognise the significance and achievements and contributions

of our beloved friend and colleague.”

In her address, Mrs Nairn began by saying it was just over 12-months ago the couple was contemplating their wonderful lives together and excitedly looking forward to enjoying their newly purchased 10-acre property in the Gold Coast hinterland where they could happily pursue their love of woodwork and welding.

“We talked about growing old together. All I wanted to do was be by his side,” she said.

“Gary had a brilliant mind, he had a gift and a passionate heart. How comfortable and confident he was, truly a self-made man from an early age throughout his life.

“Whatever Gary did, he did for life.

“I will never forget Gary getting down on one knee to propose marriage, then going back to watch the cricket and I continued cooking dinner.”

Mrs Nairn spoke about her husband’s extensive list of achievements and his quiet and calming presence.

“What a privilege it was for me to be married to this man. Gary’s was a beautiful life well-lived, with love, generosity, purpose and passion.”

Girls on Fire camp empowers locals Students learn about emergency services careers

By TRISTA HEATH JINDABYNE High School (JHS) students, a Snowy Mountains Grammar student and a home-school student participated in the Girls on Fire camp in Jindabyne last week.

Girls on Fire, an incorporated not-for-profit association teaching firefighting and disaster management skills to teenage girls, conducted one of its many camps in Jindabyne on Thursday November 21.

Students gathered at the Jindabyne Fire and Rescue Station along with local staff from Forestry corporation of NSW, National Parks and Wildlife Services, Jindabyne Fire and Rescue Station, NSW Rural Fire Service and NSW Ambulance and worked in teams to build communication skills in an emergency.

Founder, Bronnie Mackintosh, said the camp is about giving teenage girls the experience of fire and emergency services and giving them a hands-on day to be able to wear the clothing, operate the equipment, carry the tools and work in teams to solve problems based on

the emergency services work.

“The feedback has been really supportive and glowing, a lot of people have wanted to participate in this camp within their home towns,” Ms Mackintosh said.

“We change the camp and modify according to the risks and hazards in their area because we want these young women to step into their community response roles and be more prepared for the different emergencies that happen in their communities.”

With only five to seven percent of Australia’s firefighting workforce comprised of women, Girls on Fire is on a mission to increase diversity and build resilience.

These camps promote volunteering and vocational pathways in emergency services while fostering teamwork, resilience and community connection.

Made possible through the NSW Government, the camp is designed to connect local industry with school communities.

The Girls on Fire camps aim to provide practical experience and insight

into life with emergency services.

They develop skills that can transform each individual girl’s perspective on their community, working in a team and their own personal capability and contribution to society.

Tegan Molloy, a retained firefighter in Jindabyne, participated in the 2022 camp and after two years was excited to be a part of the day’s activities for a second time.

“Having this camp return to Jindabyne really enforces the need and how good it is to get women and young females into emergency services,” Ms Molloy said.

“It gives them a good insight in what’s involved and what potential careers could be out there.

“It is so good to see these girls get involved in the day’s activities and they are giving 100 percent of their energy in completing tasks and just giving it a go.”

JHS students Charli Bell, Rose Murray-Herlihy and Lucy Quinlan agreed the camp has opened their eyes to the possibility of a career in emergency services as well as pushing their physical ability with

said.

To end the camp the Forestry Corporation of NSW brought a helicopter in to land at the John Connors Oval to show the participants helicopter operations such as aerial firefighting and how to hot refuel an aircraft, which is a first for the Jindabyne camp.

New facilities to enhance student learning St Joseph’s unveils new learning areas, library STUDENTS and staff at Bombala’s St Joseph’s Primary School are benefiting from new and improved facilities following the official opening of the enhanced spaces.

Member for EdenMonaro, Kristy McBain, joined the school community to open new general learning areas, a library and a covered outdoor learning area at the school which will boost student educational outcomes.

Ms McBain said work on the development project was delivered with support of Australian Government funding of $444,312 through the Capital Grants Program.

“A lot of work has gone into this project which has delivered refurbishment of general learning areas, a library and a covered outdoor area,” Ms McBain said.

teachers and students at St Joseph’s School with better, more modern spaces in which to work, teach and learn.

“The Australian Government is committed to providing all schools with appropriate funding so that all students, including those in St Joseph’s School, Bombala, get the best possible education.”

Ms McBain said the new

facilities would benefit the students currently at St Joseph’s School, as well as the many students who will follow in future years.

“The teachers, staff and students at St Joseph’s School have built a strong and positive school community and these new facilities will further enhance our local educational opportunities,” Ms McBain said.

Social media ban to impact Australia youth Call for age limit to be lowered

By CLAIRE THORNBURG WORK EXPERIENCE THE Australian government is currently discussing a social media ban for Australians under the age of 16, while the thought and concern for the youth is appreciated this decision will of course have many consequences.

Social media gives users connection to a worldwide community, and part of a community is sharing of experiences anonymously, this is a way for anyone of any age to talk about problems if people in their life are unfit or unsafe to open up to.

Taking away connection to the world and other media could have an effect on the rates of self-injury and other types of harm.

It’s also a problem for body image issues when there are influencers looking like they’re perfect, although they use filters and other fake tools, this still has an effect on everyone no matter the age.

A bigger effect will most definitely still be on the younger demographic,

which is why a social media ban would be more appropriate for 13 and younger with their level of maturity, and internet safety if it were to be agreed on.

The generation that grew up with internet being a part of their lives would of course find ways to illegally get onto social media, which would of course have negative effects on them, and their family’s wallets if a fine is introduced. Young people are already lying about their age this will only worsen if the ban is introduced.

Young people can access things not age appropriate, but instead of a ban on an entire generation, there should be a parental setting for age-appropriate content.

There have also been times were underage people have used social media to become successful early with talents and skills or speaking out about problems, whether making a small business or finding success in art, it is a useful tool for finding what they want to do in the future.

Another thing to consider is friendships.

Social media makes communication much easier, a phone number isn’t needed making contacting more efficient. It is also a part of social development. Taking away friendships and communication skills would have a serious impact.

Overall it is the responsibility of the parents to police what their own children have access to, not the government.

If this is such a big problem for the government to get involved, the parents should be better at monitoring what their children get up to on social media.

Having social media available for teens definitely has its pros and cons, but it doesn’t seem like people are looking at the pros.

If a 16-year-old can get medical operations without parent consent and knowledge, drive on the streets, and be able to drop out of school, why can’t they be allowed to access social media at that age.

Busking street parade a first

By KAREN FORMAN IN A first for the Australian National Busking Championships, the grand final event will see a street parade held to mark the town’s multiculturalism and celebrate community organisations.

The parade, to start at 9am and be complete by the time the buskers start their competition at 10am, will feature buskers, multicultural flag bearers and dancers, Future Generation Joint Venture’s band and water truck , dance groups, district band, SES and Cooma Car Club vehicles.

A $200 prize is being offered for the best costume in the parade.

ANBC president Allan Spencer said he was excited about the parade,

which had been construed to coincide with and celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Snowy Scheme, which brought many people to live in Cooma.

“It will be a great start to

a very big day, or weekend, of entertainment,” he said.

Parade organiser Mathieu Nolte said the parade would be formedup at the corner of Centennial Park bus stop and participants would walk the length of Sharp St to the next roundabout at Vale and Sharp streets, then fall out onto the footpath.

The safety and parade brief will be held at 8.30am.

Buskers will lead the procession and will have time to make their way to their busking stations for a 10am start.

Mr Spencer said the parade could not have happened without the support of Future Generation Joint Venture which had made the street closure a possibility.

World class concerts coming to Cooma WHO needs the Opera House or concert halls when you can get up close and personal with world class performers in the intimate setting of St Paul’s Parish hall in Cooma?

At Snowy Monaro Arts Council’s concerts you can do just that; enjoy wonderful music and then mingle with the performers later over afternoon tea.

With a recent piano recital with operatic vocal pieces and another dance music concert on the horizon coming next week, the day after the busking festival, Monaro music lovers are well and truly entertained.

The arts council was especially delighted to welcome their honorary patron, David Miller AM, to Cooma to perform an ‘encore’ concert.

Acclaimed pianist and accompanist, Miller, supported operatic baritone Simon Lobelson in a recent recital of dramatic, passionate and sensuous vocal works from the 19th and 20th century repertoire.

The program titled ‘Songs on Death’ and ‘Songs on Animals’ was a seemingly unusual combination however the contrast of themes seemed to work as some familiar pieces of music were performed in a vocal setting with sensitivity and drama.

The recital opened with a dramatic rendition of the imaginative Danse macabre by Saint-Saens and continued the first theme with Mussorgsky’s ‘Songs and Dances of Death’ which includes a lullaby for a sick child, a

JINDABYNE Lions Club is once again coordinating the Jindabyne Australia Day Celebrations on Sunday January 26.

The presentation of the Jindabyne Local Citizen of the Year Awards is the centre piece of the event and is an opportunity to celebrate our local heroes.

The day’s celebrations are supported by Snowy Monaro Regional Council and made possible by a grant from the National Australia Day Council.

The nomination form and instructions can be found on Council’s website.

The categories cover all areas in our community including, sports, environmental, community

groups, arts and culture, emergency services, business, educations and individuals. If you know of someone who has inspired you by their achievements or community work, show your respect and appreciation and nominate them.

The aim of the day is to hold a free, family friendly, inclusive event, attracting as many locals as possible, young and old from all different walks of life to share in a simple Aussie celebration. We have local sporting and community groups like Lions Club, TS Orion Navy Cadets, Jindy Pride, Swim Club, Vintage Car Club and small businesses that provide products like

cake, coffee, fruit, flowers, entertainers, face painters and entertainment.

Of course there will be a sausage sizzle.

The morning celebrations at the Soccer field will be followed by the annual charity cricket match at the oval between the Bears and Bush Pigs and the family fun continues.

The day is a true gathering of cross sections of our wonderful community in a celebration of what is so good about Australia and in particular our beautiful town in the Snowy Mountains.

Don’t miss the chance to nominate a local hero, today, for the recognition they deserve.

serenade for an adolescent girl, a freezing trepak folkdance, and a depiction of dying troops after a battle.

Perhaps a bit gruesome, these songs were from the ‘ Romantic’ era of music history in which fantasy and imagination are more important than classical restraint and good taste and musical pictures of paintings, stories and poems were composed.

The next section of the conert was titled ‘Songs on Animals’.

French composer Saint-Saens is known for his Carnival of Animals suite, however during this concert we heard his piece La Coccinelle, the Ladybird, a whimsical setting of a poem by Victor Hugo.

Operatic arias were also presented on this wonderful program, works by Mozart, Donizetti, Puccini in which Simon Lobelson’s conveyed the moods and feelings of these arias with his strong baritone voice and by his dramatic facial expressions.

It was as if St Paul’s Hall

was the Opera House stage minus the scenery and props. Musical theatre pieces then delighted the appreciative audience who although wanting to hum along to familiar tunes, Some Enchanted Evening, refrained as they were captivated by Simon’s melodious voice and David’s brilliant accompaniment.

Children were catered for too with the amusing renditions of Copeland’s Fiddle-dee-dee farmyard song and a song by Rossini that gives a baby’s viewpoint of sneezing with wailing and a-choo-ing throughout.

The concert was breathtaking and covered a full range of emotions, offering so much to chat about with the artists over a delicious afternoon tea., The next concert will be another brilliant occasion with pianist Katherine Day presenting ‘The Art of the Dance’ on the John Laught Memorial grand piano in St Paul’s hall on Sunday December 1.

It’s in our control to end coercive control

SUMMER arrived over the weekend with temperatures into the low 30s across most of the Snowy Monaro.

We saw a number of fires pop-up late last week as storms rolled-in. The Monaro RFS is urging residents to remain vigilant and take care when using machinery on their properties.

A grassfire at Myalla started on Friday but was quickly contained

by RFS crews. On Saturday, a car accident ignited a fire near Berridale. The driver escaped with minor injuries and a quick emergency services response stopped the first from spreading.

It’s a timely reminder to ensure our homes are ready for the fire season and a bushfire survival plan is in place. Our RFS crews are very helpful with this and will help those who aren’t too sure of what a survival plan.

The late Gary Nairn AO was remembered and honoured with a state memorial service last week.

Held at the Mulloon Institute at Bungendore, Mr Nairn’s family and friends joined current and former politicians from both side of politics and community members from across EdenMonaro for the service.

The former Eden-Monaro MP is held in high regard for his work during his political career, time with the Mulloon Institute and Duke of Edinburgh awards.

Honest and trustworthy are two words used often to describe Mr Nairn.

On a sporting front, well done to the Berridale Cricket Club on winning the Monaro T20 competition. From lastplace last season, Berridale has worked hard to rebuild and will be hard to beat in the one-day competition.

After some tough years, the hard work of club members has paid off. Berridale beat newcomers the Cooma Titans.

The Titans inclusion in Monaro cricket has benefited the competition with the side’s passion and love for the game infectious.

HEY COWLAN, HOW AM I S’POSE TA SEE WHAT’S GOING ON IN YA DARK ROOM? SHOULDN’T YA HAVE THE RED LIGHT ON? SORRY STAN, BUT LOADING THE EXPOSED FILM INTO THE CANISTER FOR DEVELOPMENT MUST BE DONE IN TOTAL DARKNESS.

COOMA Rotary Club will be hopefully helping empower women to escape this type of coercive control by collecting old SMART phones 4G and 5G - we ask that all photos and the sim cards be removed.

These phones once collected will be forwarded to DVsafe phones where they will be doubly checked to ensure all old information has been removed given new sims and handed to women

All welcome to St Andrew’s Uniting Church advent service

and men who are escaping from terrible situations.

Basically, we are asking members of the public to drop off their old 4G or 5G phone into a specific purpose recycling bin at the Salvation Army Community Hope Office 33 vale st - as previously stated “simless and all old photos etc removed”- once collected these phones will be sent to DvSafe phones checked-anything old deleted- new sims

put in and then distributed to those in need.

Our club will also be collecting items to put in escape bags to give to women and families who often leave their homes with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.

Our club will be having a drop off point at the Salvation Army 33 Vale St Community of Hope - next to the Salvo’s store.

People will also have the opportunity to drop them at our Markets December 15th Centennial Park near the food van.

On December 6, Purple Friday, join Rotarians in Centennial Park, Cooma, from 4pm to take a stand against domestic and family violence. Please wear purple.

Glenys Maddren Cooma Rotary Club

WE would like to invite the community to St Andrew’s Uniting Church, Cooma, to an advent service comprising readings and Christmas carols in the church building on December 1, at 7pm.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Leo Club working hard for community

By JOSIE HOLFTER ON Wednesday November 13, Monaro High School Leo Club held their 2023-2024 changeover. It was held at the Ex-Services Club in Cooma combined with Cooma Lions Club fortnightly meeting.

Lions members and family of the Leo members gathered to support the Leo Club as they handed over roles and farewelled graduating year 12 members. It was a great night for the Leo Club allowing them to reconnect to the Lions Club and share what they have achieved during year. The Leo awards were given out: Leo Club Person of the Year Elora Plummer, Leo Club Advisor Award Jade Filmer, Leo Club President Awards Samuel Pevere. The incoming officers of the Monaro Leo Club have goals to be more active in the community next year as well as grow their numbers.

“We really look forward to what we can achieve next year and have so many ideas on projects already, and are

AUGH JEEPERS, I CAN’T SEE NOTHIN’. IT’S A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME ME BEING HERE.

so excited to hold our annual Christmas Wrapping Store coming up to Christmas”, the Leo Club said.

Share the Dignity is an inspiring and highly successful charity organisation focused

on improving the lives and circumstances of young women experiencing “period poverty”.

Its primary focus is to provide hygiene products such as pads, tampons, deodorant, shampoo, and conditioner to those who

may be in circumstances that don’t allow for the use of these goods, such as domestic abuse or low SES households.

We, as the Monaro High School LEO Club representatives, decided to make this our focus for the term. It felt very relevant due to the abundance of young girl members in our club and the importance of personal hygiene as growing women.

On Wednesday November 13, to achieve our goal, we went to a variety of stores around Cooma, such as Woolworth, Coles, and Smart Dollar, to supply goods for 7 young girls, and we spent a total of $722.

We bought necessary products such as pads, tampons, deodorant, shampoo, and conditioner, but also some extra supplies, such as hair ties, hand sanitiser, and toothbrushes.

They were dropped off at Bunnings in Canberra, who generally take donations for Share the Dignity, and we urge members of the community to look into the organisation and possibly make a donation.

PLUS A WASTE OF BLACK INK!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Snowy Mountains Stockmen

By BOYD MOULD, re-collections of the Snowy River Stockmen Well, my memory is fading now I’m getting on in years, there are fragments of my life I can’t recall Many little things remind me of the years I’ve left behind me But one vision lingers clearest of them all.

I see how the country changes as the plains merge with the ranges, And the foothills reach up to the great divide, I see mountains and clear streams most folk only see in dreams, Up where The Snowy Mountains stockman used to ride.

Now those men were hard as granite – they were resolute and tough, Just as rugged as the ranges that they rode.

By LISA ASHURST

But at night around the fire those men never seemed to tire of the mustering yarns those stockmen often told But that era has now ended – all their grazing rights suspended, All the packhorse teams have long since been retired, But I always will remember the freedom and the splendour Where those Snowy Mountains stockmen used to ride.

It’s not all a bed of roses – it’s like any way of life, There are times you wish you’d never seen the place!

When those winter winds start blowing and by night time it is snowing And the driving sleet’s like gravel on your face.

Then the fog rolls in with darkness to complete the mountains harshness

And you cannot see your hand before your eyes, So you leave it to your horse to select the homeward course To where your mates are waiting ‘round the open fire’.

Though those men all loved the mountains and the mateships that they found They relinquished all in making way for change Now the modern mountain flapper goes by four-wheel drive or ‘chopper’ To supervise the running of the range.

And the memories I will treasure are of hardship and of pleasure A taste of hell and heaven side by side Of splendours quite amazing and of sheep and cattle grazing Up where the Snowy Mountains Stockmen used to ride.

I FIND myself really wondering about the amount of juvenile and teen offenders who are out in the small hours committing major offences, with many of them being repeat offenders continuing their crime sprees while on bail or a community order, and I’m asking myself, where are their parents?

I’m sure I’m not the only one asking that because their parents must be aware of what their kids are doing, especially if they have already been hauled before the courts on previous occasions, and some of these children are really young.

Why are they even out breaking into homes, assaulting the occupants and nicking cars at that time in the morning anyway?

Who compensates the people these kids are preying on?

There was a time when, as a child/teenager, you would ask yourself ‘is it worth my life?’ when it came to doing something you knew was seriously wrong, because you knew that if you were caught and your parents found out you’d be in for it when you got home, and if was the kind of thing where it was the police who hauled you home, you knew you were either dead meat or about to be grounded for a very long, long time, which was almost as bad. There were consequences and they were dire and those things alone were enough to keep most of us on the straight and narrow.

And it was the same at school. Children who aggressively targeted another child, either verbally and or physically were not only in big trouble at school, but also once they got home, their parents having been informed by the school of what their child had been

up to in the playground.

There were rules, and then there were the consequences if they were broken. Children learnt about cause and effect fairly early in life.

So what happened?

Are these troublemakers the product of ‘soft parenting’? Yes there is such a thing and I have seen at least one book on how to ‘soft parent’ your child. There don’t appear to be any consequences for bad behaviour in the soft parenting method.

But hey, I’m only guessing here.

Okay, so what did happen?

People are no longer safe in their own homes, children are no longer safe from aggressive bullying while travelling to and from school and not even while they’re in the school grounds. They may be able to block the social media aggression outside of school hours (but unfortunately, few of them do) but as soon as they’re out the door, it begins again.

Nothing much appears to be happening to the little aggressors even when their identity is known. It doesn’t look like they are being held responsible for their actions, at any rate, because they seem to be able to continue with their behaviour unchecked.

Why is that?

Schools can only do so much, as their hands have been tied for many years now by a bureaucracy which dictates what they can and can’t do, so it looks like it falls back on parents to ensure their children understand there will be consequences for any wrongdoing, and then to implement those consequences should their children cross the line. It’s not really up to the government or any other department to teach children right from wrong.

It’s a parental responsibility.

Thousands raised for Cooma Health Service at open garden

By MELINDA CAIRNS HACK THE exceptionally wet weather on the day of the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary’s open garden fundraiser did not impact the event’s success, with a total of $5,246 raised in just a few

hours. Auxiliary president, Sue Litchfield, said it was an amazing result, for what was a wet, but happy outdoor event.

The raffle raised $601 with first prize, a $100 Cooma Gift Card won by Frances Creelman; second

prize of a potted rose and garden tools went to Maria Linkenbagh; and third prize, a Merritta Christmas cake, was won

by Marion Mondello.

Ticket sales and donations amounted to $3,645 plus $1000 was donated

to the auxiliary by Nimmitabel Garden Club, proceeds from the sale of plants, books and condiments from the club’s stall set up on the day.

Mrs Litchfield thanked the garden owners, Suzannah and Stirling

Plowman, for opening their heritage garden and home, Kiah Lodge, to the public.

Their beautiful property was looking its absolute best. Those who attended the open garden were able to learn about the

history and development of the garden through a brochure produced by the Plowmans which provided a detailed description of the various stages of the garden from its early days through to the current day.

SPIRITS UNDAMPENED: Before the heavens opened auxiliary members (from left) Jan Carpenter, Heather Elliott, Margaret Wainwright and president Sue Litchfield under the Stirling and Suzannah Plowman are presented with a thank you gift from Cooma Hospital gazebo at the Plowman’s Berridale open garden.

George Bowden’s wish come true COOMA Salvation Army Corps officers Bryan and Debbie Bartlett, conducted a moving swearing-in service recently for Cooma resident Harold ‘George’ Bowden.

“In November 2020, George was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia with aphasia,” Mr Bartlett said.

“Recently, he has been battling cancer and was heartbreakingly diagnosed with secondary cancer in his spine, leaving him with a very

limited life expectancy.

“During a visit to George in Cooma Hospital, he expressed his heartfelt desire to become a full member of The Salvation Army.

Moved by his request, Debbie and I quickly made all the necessary arrangements. Major Louise Nicholson, a former Cooma Salvation Army officer, graciously conducted the service in the hospital’s palliative care unit.

“The service was deeply touching and

beautifully fitting for George, with happy tears flowing among those in attendance. It was an emotional moment as George fulfilled his lifelong ambition of becoming a Senior Soldier of The Salvation Army. In a powerful declaration of his faith, he even raised his own “Hallelujah!”

“But George’s story doesn’t end there.

Despite his illnesses, he remains unwavering in his desire to uplift the name of Jesus.

At the conclusion of the service, I had the honour and privilege of saying a prayer of dedication over George, a moment I will treasure forever.

“God’s work through George is far from finished, and his enduring faith continues to inspire all who know him.”

FLUORIDATION CHANGE

INTERIM CEO APPOINTED

FATBERG FLARE-UP

Fluoridation has been paused at the Jindabyne and East Jindabyne water treatment plants, pending the completion of maintenance work.

Council has announced the appointment of Stephen Dunshea as the organisation's new interim chief executive, following the resignation of David Hogan in October 2024.

To protect our community's infrastructure and minimise ratepayer costs, Council is urging residents to practice responsible flushing and keep wet wipes out of our sewer pipes.

Council voted to offer the temporary leadership role to the 40-year veteran of local government during the confidential session of the November Council meeting in Jindabyne.

Most of us know that toilets should only be used to flush the ‘three Ps’ – pee, poo and (toilet) paper. But for years now, wet wipes marketed as ‘flushable’ have been causing an underreported epidemic in sewers around the world.

Drinking water supplied to properties in Jindabyne, East Jindabyne, Tyrolean Village, Berridale and Lakewood Estate will not contain added fluoride until this work is completed.

NSW Health has been notified of this temporary interruption to fluoridation. Council is working to restore normal operations at our Jindabyne and East Jindabyne water treatment facilities as soon as possible.

We will notify residents when fluoridation of these water supplies resumes. For further information about drinking water fluoridation, please visit the NSW Health website.

FUNDRAISING BINS We have ten free Return and Earn fundraising bins available for local community groups and charities across the region.

If your community group doesn't have a free fundraising bin and would like to start collecting bottles and cans, please email our team today at council@smrc.nsw.gov.au or call 1300 345 345.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED Volunteer drivers are urgently needed across the Snowy Monaro for our local community transport and meals on wheels services.

By generously donating your time, you’ll be helping Snowy Monaro locals in need.

Contact us today at council@smrc.nsw.gov.au or on 1300 345 345 to help support our community.

WEED OF THE WEEK

An accomplished executive with over four decades of experience in local government, Mr Dunshea has held senior roles at some of New South Wales' largest councils.

Mr Dunshea will serve as the organisation's transitional leader over the next six months, ensuring business continuity and enabling councillors to undertake a comprehensive recruitment process for a permanent CEO.

MOBILE LIBRARY Snowy Monaro Regional Library’s transition to a new operating model for the Mobile Library is almost complete, with the service now known as the Library Outreach Service relaunching in early December 2024.

The term fatberg has been coined to describe the revolting masses of congealed wet wipes, fats, oils, grease, and other non-flushable items that result from a small number of people doing the wrong thing.

Fatbergs can and do happen right here in the Snowy Monaro. Following a recent increase in incidents, actual real-life people have had to remove them from our local sewer network.

The removal process is hard, disgusting work and it costs ratepayers a lot of money.

It’s not just wet wipes that cause problems and contribute to fatbergs developing though, as tampons, period pads, cotton buds, needles, condoms and food waste can all play a role in the formation of these blockages.

Fatbergs can set as strong as concrete and can require specialist equipment to remove.

Once formed, they can cause sewers to back up and overflow, polluting bodies of water and other sensitive parts of the environment.

We're not singling out any one part of the region here, but we are reminding everyone in the region to remember to do the right thing when they're going number two on the loo.

AUSTRALIA DAY NSW LOCAL CITIZEN AWARDS Nominations for our region’s Local Citizen of the Year awards are open now until early January.

You're invited to nominate a local legend in the Bombala, Cooma, or Jindabyne areas who has made a substantial contribution to our region and its people over the past 12 months.

Nomination forms are available online now at https://qrco.de/SMRCawards or in-person from all Council offices. Completed forms can be submitted by email, post, or over-the-counter at your local Council office.

For 2025, our Bombala, Cooma, and Jindabyne Australia Day committees are accepting nominations across seven awards categories, including adult and youth citizen and sportsperson of the year, environment award, young environmental citizen of the year, and seven special achievement of the year awards.

Cooma, Australia’s busking capital, all set for upcoming championships

By KAREN FORMAN IF YOU are not planning to be in Cooma this weekend for the ‘biggest, best Australian National Busking Championships grand final celebrations yet’, then you had better have a good excuse.

The not-for-profit ANBC Inc board has come up with what president Allan Spencer describes as an absolutely ‘jampacked’ free weekend of entertainment that not only gives winners of the seven regional ANBC heats around Australia the chance to compete for national glory, but provides families with everything from a street parade to free concerts and workshops, markets and more.

“Thanks to some amazing sponsorship, particularly from Future Generation JV (Webuild), this national grand final event is shaping up to be the biggest and best ever,” Mr Spencer said.

“It is not just about the busking competition, where the top 22 buskers in Australia come together to vie for the title of Australian National Busking Champion in primary, secondary and open divisions along with a whole lot of other prizes.

“It is also about bringing people to Cooma to enjoy the region, the music of the buskers and other performers on the central stage, meet and make friends and celebrate the multicultural nature

“We have top notch judges in The James Brothers (Ethan and Jon and Oz Bayldon and we have

$200 Prize for the Best Costume

2024 ANBC National Grand Final Sharp Street road closure will be facilitated by:

Cooma regional heat as well as performing on stage and on Sunday at the Alpine Hotel.

“They will be joined by our own recently recorded singer songwriter Gabi Forman who

will be competing and playing at the Sunday afternoon concert with Lil G and Arthur.”

A feature of the event this year, for the first time, will be a street parade which buskers, community members and groups will take part in, starting at 9am.

There is even a $200 prize for the best costume.

Mr Spencer said the best time to arrive in the Cooma CBD was just before 9am and to be set for a big day out.

“The parade starts at 9am, the buskers start playing at 20 different busking stations around the CBD from 10am and the markets and displays and workshops will continue in Centennial Park and on the closed section of Sharp St (between Bombala and Vale streets) throughout the day,” he said.

“The entertainment will continue after the presentation at 3pm on the stage with a prizewinner’s concert and after-party at the Alpine Hotel from 5pm.

“And then the next day, we have a special concert at the Alpine Hotel from noon featuring Lil G, Arthur Hull and Gabi Forman so people can enjoy lunch and while away Sunday afternoon before heading home.”

Mr Spencer said the ANBC, formed 14 years-ago, aimed to make Cooma the busking capital of Australia and felt it was well on its way.

Snowy talents ready for national busking finals

By KAREN FORMAN TWENTY two buskers from across Australia will converge on Cooma this weekend to vie for $10,400 prizemoney and the title of Australian National Busking Champion for 2024.

They include Snowy Mountains locals Paul Shorten of Jindabyne (Primary), Tulli Naje of Jindabyne (Secondary), Gabi Forman of Berridale (Open), Ron Milliner, Gayelene Jennings and Gus Olding of Bombala (Open/band) and Justin and Filip Klempfner aka The K Brothers of Berridale (Junior), who won berths in the final through the Cooma and Bombala regional heats.

Other competitors will travel from as far as Queensland and Victoria.

Arthur Hull, who was on The Voice this year will also feature as a performer.

All will be in the running for a special prize, an Everse8 busker battery amp valued at $1800, along with People’s Choice awards, where members of the public can vote for their favourite buskers using tokens purchased to raise funds for event charity, Cooma Community Chest.

ANBC president Allan Spencer said most of the buskers who qualified for the national grand final by winning or placing highly at the seven regional heats around Australia had accepted invitations to contest the event.

“The quality of the musicians and performers heading to Cooma for the national grand finals is astounding,” he said.

“I think the judges are going to have

a very difficult time choosing the winners.”

The list of competitors includes Arthur Hull who won Open at Cooma, Coral Renee, who won Open at The Entrance and has recently released her single ‘Pink Is My Colour’, Abby May who won Open at Bombala, Noah Robertson (Stanthorpe and Noosa Secondary), Tilly Rose (Kilmore, Secondary), Gabi Forman (Cooma, Open), Maverick Leslie Fitch (The Entrance, Secondary), CMAA Academy Country Music graduate Ruby Holden (Bombala, Secondary), Paul Shorten (Primary, Cooma), fellow graduate Belle Norman (Primary, The Entrance), local Bombala family trio Ron, Gaylene and Gus (Bombala, Band), Sloan Family (Band), Laylah Baines (Cooma, Secondary), Ruby Holden (Secondary, Bombala), Georgia Stafford from Queensland (Bombala, Primary), Tully Oayda (second Secondary, Cooma), The K Brothers (People’s Choice Cooma and Bombala) and Shane Blade from Albury (wildcard).

Others on the list include Maya O’Loughlin, Tilly Rose Maverick Leslie-Fitch, Owen Smith, Will and Annie, The Prospects, The Sloan Family and Taylah Shae.

The event will get underway with the welcome party on the Friday night, open to all, continue with a multicultural street parade at 9am on the Saturday followed by busking performances and acts on the community stage between 10am and 4pm, a winners’ concert and then an after party.

ARTS & CULTURE

Snowy Monaro music festivals thriving Numeralla Folk, one of last free Australian festivals

By KAREN FORMAN MUSIC festivals have been dropping like flies around Australia but the Snowy Monaro is home to a number which live on.

Locals festivals include the Thredbo Blues Festival, Perisher Peak Festival, the Australian National Busking Championship (ANBC) regional heats in Cooma and Bombala and national grand final in Cooma, and not the least, the long running Numeralla Folk Festival.

Like the ANBC festivals, Numeralla Folk Festival is run completely by volunteers and According to ANBC president, Allan Spencer, and Numeralla Folk Festival organiser, Fran Robertson, this could well be the key to their success.

“Rising costs of running festivals and the rising cost of living have killed a lot of festivals,” Allan said.

“With ours being a volunteer organisation and receiving sponsorship to cover running costs, we are able to keep on providing a festival and a busking competition in one.”

Fran says much the same.

“We are just a group of volunteers, the musicians and performers come to play and enjoy the music and the atmosphere, our costs are low, but our enjoyment level is high,” she said.

“We have around 400 people turn-up every year and many are return visitors. We are actually now into our third generation and are preparing for our 48th festival on January 24-26”.

More than 20 big name festivals in Australia representing all genres were cancelled and a few postponed in 2023, citing post-pandemic rising operational costs, poor ticket sales, increased cost of insurance, security, and licensing requirements.

One of a number of popular folk festivals on the ‘folkie circuit’, Numeralla has continued without much change, year to year, a reliable and much loved stalwart.

It might be the smallest of the closer festivals - which include Cobargo, Illawarra, Yass,

Numeralla Folk Festival 2024 patrons enjoy a drumming workshop at the 2023 event. More workshops are planned for the 2025 event.

Bundanoon and the National Folk Festival in Canberra - but it is much loved by its followers, mostly for its laid back atmosphere, its inclusivity and its free entry and camping.

“I think we are the last free folk festival in Australia,” Fran said.

“We are the little festival with the big heart.”

Numeralla is a village in about 23km from Cooma and has a population of around 260 people.

It has a public hall, where the festival is based, a Catholic church, an Anglican church and a cemetery. Its school was closed some years ago.

Festival goers enjoy free camping near the confluence of Numeralla River and Big Badja River.

The Numeralla Folk Festival usually takes place on the weekend closest to Australia Day each year.

It was cancelled in 2020–22 due to the bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic but went ahead in 2024, despite a last minute glitch when issues were discovered with the hall.

“We prepared for the 47th festival four times and had to cancel twice for fires and twice for COVID-19 and finally got it

happening in 2024,” Fran said.

Fran has been involved since festival 11.

“I live in Numeralla and love dancing and music, so of course I wanted to go along to the festival,” she said.

“We are all committee members and we all have the same goal, to keep it pretty much the same as it always has been.

“We give people the chance to share the music or the songs or the dance or the poetry that they love.

“It is very much a family event, with little ones running around as well as people who are in their twilight years and everyone in between.”

The next festival will have a band, Blue Mallee, performing on the Friday night and people will be able to buy a meal or nibbles at the hall kitchen.

As always, the festival will feature a bushdance on the Saturday night, where all musicians are welcome to join in to provide music.

“For 48 years we have never booked a band, the music is played by whoever turns up,” Fran said.

“We have some wonderful folkies who come armed with folders full of music so people

Large crowds from across Australia make their way to Numeralla each January for one of the great, free folk festivals.

can join in the fun.

“Dave Johnson from Penrose and Ray Mulligan from Canberra have been instrumental in making sure something happens and Lawrie Brown, and Claire Stoneman from Canberra are regular callers of the dances.”

The festival is well supported by members of the Canberra based Monaro Folk Society and the Yuin Folk Club at Cobargo.

As well as providing opportunities for musicians to play, the 2025 festival will feature markets on the Sunday, mostly local, a coffee van over the weekend, music and dance workshops

on Saturday and a blackboard concert on the Saturday.

“The blackboard concert is hotly contested and people who want to play in it have to be there at 10am at the hall in the morning to get their names on the board as soon as it comes out,” Fran said.

“First 24 in get to play. For the scheduled performances, we don’t go looking for performers, but receive requests from people who would like to perform.

“In this modern era we can look on the internet and see if they are a good fit.”

MY WEEK WITH THE MONARO MEDIA GROUP Passion for books takes Claire enjoys Keaghan to local library her week at

newspaper

By CLAIRE THORNBURG A TALENT with a camera led Year 9 Alpine School student, Claire Thornburg, to The Monaro Media Group for her week of work experience.

Claire spent her week learning about journalism, photography and advertising. She came up with story ideas, interviewed the necessary people for the story and wrote pieces published in this edition.

Claire’s work behind the camera impressed The Monaro Media Group with a number of nice shots.

She was busy, heading out of the office each day for stories. Claire has produced on this page, a number of interesting profiles on fellow Alpine School students, looking at their week of work experience.

By CLAIRE THORNBURG A LOVE of books, especially the genre of horror, has led to a work experience position at the Cooma Library for Year 10 Alpine School student Keaghan.

He said he was enjoying the week when chatting to the Monaro Media Group on Tuesday November 19.

Keaghan’s tasks included sorting books and helping with the library’s organised craft. He liked the simplicity and quiet of the workplace.

Keaghan stated it was a good option with his love of reading and occasional writing. He was asked about a future career goal, he said anything that pays well as his future career would do.

A simple and quiet job is Keaghan’s go-to job as a book lover.

LEARNING: Keaghan uses his work placement week to learn more about becoming a librarian.

Josh develops construction skills

JOURNALISM: Year 9 Alpine School student, Claire Thornburg, discovered what it’s like to work at a newspaper during her week of work placement.

ALTHOUGH Josh Caldwell has a future career goal of skiing as a professional, he decided to join the construction company that was working on the new buildings at The Alpine School, where he is currently a Year 10 student.

The idea of working in construction at the time of choosing a work experience placement came from wanting to learn practical building skills.

He has enjoyed the experience, digging holes and running electrical pipes, with the highlight being not having any maths classes, which is understandable.

Although with a different career path, the skills learned this week will hopefully be put to use in the future.

SKILLS: Josh Caldwell, a Year 10 student at The Alpine School, enjoys his week of work placement.

Melray team praise Luke’s hard work in butchery

Teacher Tayla checks out career in education

By CLAIRE THORNBURG

By CLAIRE THORNBURG

LUKE Totten hopes his week at Melray Meats, learning the art of butchery, will lead to a career in the industry. With a passion for shooting and hunting, the Year 9 student at The Alpine School is learning lots from the Melray Meats team.

Speaking with Luke on Wednesday, he has loved his time there so far, with fellow workers praising his work.

He has wanted to learn more about butchery for a future career as a mobile butcher, and to help his family out with their home butchering.

Luke enjoyed the workspace and the people, learning how to use a variety of machinery, while also resenting the mincing process.

Luke has a passion for meat, making him a potentially great butcher.

WITH many choices of what she wants to do in the future, a possibility for Tayla is being a teacher. Tayla has always liked taking care of others, but in the past two years she has been looking into a career of teaching.

She chose The Alpine School as she already attends as a year nine student and knows and has a relationship with staff there.

So far this week she has been helping the kindergarten class; she has enjoyed it, doing art and crafts with them, helping with their reading and travelling to the local pool with them.

Tayla’s hobbies include music, as she can play many instruments, art, and basketball.

A few other career paths she has considered are an actress in theatre, a musician, and many more.

Tayla said she hopes to pursue a future career in teaching as well as her other dreams.

SUCCESS: Luke Totten has received plenty of praise from the Melray Meats team. He is hoping to pursue a career as a butcher.

EDUCATION: Tayla is hoping to pursue a career in teaching following her week at The Alpine School.

Calls to change native pasture rules

By MELINDA CAIRNS HACK CONCERNS about the spread of African Lovegrass (ALG) on the Snowy Monaro are running even higher among local farmers as the summer season approaches and the risk of bushfire increases.

Local landholder and Nimmitabel Rural Fire Service captain, Ant Waldren, has said suppression of ALG is an integral part of drought resilience, fire safety, environmental and mental health issues.

Discussions, at both state and federal level of government, are on-going between local farmers and members of parliament in an effort to suppress, and ultimately, eradicate ALG infestation.

“There has been widespread consensus among farmers, who are holding the line of ALG spread at their own expense, that once a paddock gets from three to five percent infestation of lovegrass you will not hold the line spot spraying.

“They are all saying

more drought tolerant improved species need to be sewn down in all arable areas of that paddock, and then continue to spot spray the non-arable areas to protect valuable native grasses. These species, being better at storing carbon and maintaining higher ground covers, they say is a win for the environment, but also a win for farmers, as the cost at their own expense doing this is covered by higher levels of production, which is better environmentally

and for sustainability,” Mr Waldren said.

“Presentation of this has been made to NSW state ministers, and farmers are asking the state and federal governments to change the Native Pasture rules and encourage landholders to farm out lovegrass at these low levels.

“There is widespread concern that if legislation is not changed, the spread of ALG will start to create mega fires in the environment.”

Member for

Eden-Monaro, Kristy McBain, has been kept abreast of the discussions with Mr Waldren, and other local farmers on this issue.

“I know the Member for Monaro, Steve Whan, has had discussions with Ant Waldren and others with, very justifiable, concerns about the spread of African Lovegrass and that he has been raising the issues directly with Minister for Agriculture, Tara Moriarty.

“We are seeing an increased level of activity locally from the

Local Land Services on lovegrass and Mr Whan has told me that there is good awareness of the problem the grass poses for our region from Minister Moriarty and her Department.

“Ant has been keeping me updated, and Mr Whan is working to try to keep a focus on what more can be done when dealing with weeds strategies for the region and grasslands planning with both Minister Moriarty and Environment Minister, Penny Sharpe,” Ms McBain said.

Weed of the week: silverleaf nightshade property within the Snowy Monaro region and is actively managed with the objective of eradication.

Eradicating such a weed threat in its early stages of invasion provides significantly greater return on investment than trying to manage a well-established weed. For this reason Council calls on community members to learn how to identify this species and immediately report suspect incursions to Council’s biosecurity team on 1300 345 345.

Silverleaf nightshade can: Significantly reduce summer crop yields through direct competition; Reduce winter crop yields by depleting soil moisture; Invade pasture and reduce sub-clover growth; Reduce annual pasture growth in autumn and winter; Poison stock if they eat ripe berries; Be expensive to control; and Spread easily through both seeds and tiny plant fragments.

What must you do if you detect silverleaf nightshade on your land?

Due to its isolated occurrence in southeastern NSW and its impact on the economy, environment and community, the South East Regional Strategic Weed Management Plan 2023–2027 specifies that silverleaf nightshade should be eradicated.

This objective applies to all land within the Snowy Monaro region.

What can you do?

Learn to identify silverleaf nightshade and notify Council’s biosecurity team immediately if you suspect its presence.

If introducing stock onto your land, hold them in a controlled and observable space for two weeks before moving

IT’S week eight of Council’s Weed of the Week series for the 2024/25 spring and summer season. This series of articles provides the community with information and advice on new, emerging and established invasive plant species threatening the region.

Whether you’re living on the land, living in town, or just passing through – we all have a part to play in protecting our natural environment and agricultural land from invasive plants and weeds.

This week Council looks at silverleaf nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium).

Silverleaf nightshade is a Weed of National Significance and is prohibited from being sold, bartered, exchanged or offered for sale anywhere in the state of NSW. The plant is drought tolerant, favouring areas with an average rainfall of 300–560mm. It grows upright year-round and ranges from 10cm to 1m in height, with

prickly stems and silvery hair-covered stems and leaves. Leaves have wavy edges and can grow up to 15cm long and 0.5 to 2.5cm wide.

Flowers grow in a star shape with five petals.

Colouration ranges from blue, through pale lavender to white. The inside of the flower contains yellow stamens (the small thin bits inside flowers with pollen balls at their top). The plant produces toxic berries that last through winter, with colourations proceeding through green to yellow to orange to red and finally brown.

Silverleaf nightshade is spread by root pieces and seed. All parts of the root are capable of forming shoot buds. It is one of the most difficult weeds to kill and displays allelopathic qualities, impeding the germination and growth of plants around it.

Where is silverleaf nightshade found?

Silverleaf nightshade has established in areas west of the Great Dividing Range, though only exists at isolated sites east of the range.

It is recorded on one

Decreased yarding of mixed quality cattle at Yass

By DAVID KENT, MLA THERE were some good runs of feeder steers, along with a few pens of prime yearling heifers in a decreased yarding of 714 mixed quality cattle.

There was a limited supply of young cattle to suit the re-stockers, and there were 90 cows.

Buyers were not as active as previous sales, selling to mostly cheaper trends.

Yearlings to suit the trade

were mostly firm, with the steers reaching 336c, and heifers made from 230c to 320c/kg.

There was some strong competition between backgrounders and the feed-lot buyers for the yearling steers, resulting in dearer prices, selling from 274c to 343c/kg.

Heifers to feed were up to 12c cheaper, to average 268c/kg.

Weaners returning to the paddock sold to variable trends, with the

steers ranging from 160c to 342c, and the heifers ranged from 170c to 306c/ kg. Heavy grown steers slipped 4c selling from 245c to 322c, and grown heifers fell 10c, making from 242c to 320c/kg.

Two and three score cows were up to 17c cheaper, ranging from 185c to 255c, and heavy four score cows were back two cents, topping at 279c/kg.

The best heavy weight bull made 300c/kg.

New chair named for MLA MEAT and Livestock Australia (MLA) has elected John Lloyd as its chair following the MLA Annual General Meeting on November 20.

AGENTS penned an additional few thousand sheep and lambs last week with a strong increase in weight across the new season lambs on offer.

Quality was excellent in places with isolated sales rolling more than 900c/kg cwt, processors eager to hang on the rail to secure the weight.

The store lamb numbers continue to be high, attracting a large number of re-stocker buyers from southern and northern areas joined by feed-lotters.

All regular processors were present and active with market trends firm to $13 dearer. Good numbers of trade weight new season lambs were up for grabs with a mixture of finish, some lambs were outstanding with some showing dryness in the skin.

Lambs were firm to $8 dearer in places. Light and medium trade lambs were selling between $145 and $165/head.

Heavy trade lambs weighing from 23 to 26kg sold between $185 and $242 to average 860c/kg cwt.

The additional weight across the heavy and extra heavy types resulted in gains of $13 with

heavy new season lambs selling between $237 and $268/head and extra heavy export types over 30kg reaching $295/head.

The bulk of the light lambs were shared between re-stockers and processors.

Re-stockers operated between $91 to $134/head and from $36 to $98/head for very light types.

Processors paid from $91 to $134/head for lambs between 12 and 18kg.

Lambs going to feed made between $104 to $131/head.

There was an increase in shorn lamb numbers presented.

Heavy trade weights made between $186 and $234/head and heavy lambs from $241 to $278/ head.

Mutton sold to very strong demand particularly across the trade and heavy weight categories.

Two major export processors hung on the rail driving prices up with isolated sales at 500c/kg cwt.

Extra heavy crossbred ewes sold between $90 and $188/head to average 400c/kg cwt.

Golfers contest Ron Duncan trophy

By COOLAMATONG GOLF CLUB GOLFERS played for the Ron Duncan trophy on Sunday for both the men and ladies competition.

Ron has been a member since the club had grass greens in the mid 90s, and donated the trophy in the earlier 2000s.

Having owned and operated the successful Thredbo ski tuning business for decades, Ron (left-hander) is now retired and still playing great golf himself.

Fellow left-hander Steve Cuff won the men’s division with 42 stableford points, and Jan O’Halloran the women’s division with 38 points.

The Ron Duncan trophy overall placings for men were Steve Cuff 42 points, Brian Clayton 40 and Soeron Stoettrup 38.

In the ladies, Jan O’Halloran had 38 points, Maureen Rupcic 36 and Kylie Woodcock 32.

The highlight of Steve Cuff’s round was holing out for an eagle two on the par four dogleg second hole.

Placing a drive in ideal position 65 metres from the pin, his sand wedge landed marginally short of green, kicked on and tracked to the hole for a great eagle and four pointer hole.

“That hole has given me my fair share of grief, I air mailed

the green with a similar distance last week, so to exact revenge with a hole out eagle, I’ll take that any day,” Cuff said.

He followed-up at the end of his round with birdies on holes 16 and 18to cap off a good day and 75 scratch score.

Jan O’Halloran had two steady nine holes which included four three pointers, and a host of two pointers for 19 stableford points each nine.

Jan has been playing solid golf in recent months, with several consistent rounds.

The other highlight of Sunday was Steve Dunn winning the nett match play championship, two and one over veteran Ross Thompson.

Being four-up and with four holes to play, Dunn looked to have the title easily, but the old wily Thompson won two consecutive holes before Dunn played a superb up and down from wide off the green to make the winning par on 17.

“It was the first nine he struggled, but when he got to the back nine he hung in there, he definitely made it hard,” Dunn said.

“I was definitely nervous going into hole 17, which was more difficult than it should be.”

Thompson said after the game he did play poorly the front nine but acknowledged if you play better than your handicap in match play, that’s good golf.

Dunn had 37 points to Thompson’s 31.

Dunn will now have the rare chance to win a double match play when he takes on Soeron Stoettrup in the men’s scratch match play in coming weeks.

In A grade on Sunday, Steve Cuff had 42 points, Soeron Stoettrup 38, Damien Archer 38, Chris Brown 38 and Steve Dunn 37.

In B grade, Cameron McKid had 37 points to win from Rainer Beissner and John Henderson with 36, Kim Weston and Tim Caldwell scored 35 to fill the places.

In C grade, Brian Clayton had a great 40 points to win from Robert Haigh 37, Kevin Cramer 36, Lochlann Colin 35 and Benje Munce 34.

Sunday near pins for men were won by Roger White on the third, Charlie Filtness on eight, Michael Rush on 15 and Andrew Haigh on 17.

The ladies near pins were won

by Carolyn Major on three, Jan O’Halloran on eight and 15, and Kylie Woodcock on 17.

Next Sunday, sign-up for the two-ball ambrose next Sunday for a shotgun start at 9.30am.

Grant gives Jindabyne athletes jump start JINDABYNE’S little athletes have been given a jump start to the 2024/25 Little Athletics season with a $4,100 grant from the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund.

Jindabyne Little Athletics will use the grant to purchase new hurdles, discuses and shot puts as well as a portable discus cage to support up and coming throwers.

The Little Athletics centre based at the Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Centre was one of 43 grassroots clubs and centres who shared in $150,000 from the latest round of Coles grants, which has provided Little Athletics centres with more than $2.5 million since 2018.

Jindabyne Little Athletics Centre secretary, Sarah Forsdyke,

said the grant will help the centre to provide a quality program for its athletes and volunteers.

“Much of our equipment is over a decade old. As a small club striving to keep the sport affordable for everyone, this grant will help our centre and athletes greatly,” she said.

“Last season six of our athletes participated in the ACT Little Athletics Championships, where all achieved top eight finishes and numerous personal bests.

We hope the new equipment purchased with the Coles grant will help enhance these results further this season.”

Coles Little Athletics Australia CEO, Myles Foreman, said the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund has already helped more than 480 centres across Australia.

Jindabyne Little Athletics participants appreciate funding from Coles.

“Our Little Athletics centres, parents, volunteers and athletes have been extremely grateful with the grants distributed from the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund over the past six years,” he said.

“The funds have helped centres buy a range of new sports equipment such as high jump mats, hurdles and discuses for athletes, as well as equipment for volunteers such as trolleys, laptops and printers. All our centres are run by dedicated parent volunteers and grants like this help them immensely.”

In addition to supporting Little Athletics centres with equipment grants, Coles has also donated more than five million bananas to help fuel future ATHLETES: Jindabyne Little Athletics members gather to celebrate Coles Community Grant funding.

Last Quest triumphs in Adaminaby Cup Thousands turn out for a great country race meet A GOOD-sized crowd gathered in warm conditions for the Adaminaby Cup meeting on the Bolaro Flat on Saturday.

The Snowy Hydro Adaminaby Cup over 1400 metres, with $20,000 in prizemoney plus trophies, was the main race on the day and saw six horses leave the starting gates.

A very exciting finish saw a last stride, short head margin, victory to Last Quest ($6) ridden by Teaghan Martin for trainer Gratz Vella from Canberra, over the Nick Olive trained Epaullo Creed, ridden by Quayde Krogh.

The $2.70 favourite, Le Sante, was three-anda-quarter lengths back in third.

A six-kilogram handicap favouring Last Quest was likely a helping factor in the victory.

Last Quest is raced by a Bombala-based syndicate which includes long-time owners Bob and Tim Stewart.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council - Future Generation JV – Alpine Motor Group and Orica 1000 metre Maiden Hcp was race one and saw a length victory to Oklahoma Smokeshow, trained in Canberra by Darryl Rolfe and ridden by Nick Heywood.

Bob Stewart (left) and Tim Stewart (right) are the proud winners of the Snowy Hydro Adaminaby Cup. They celebrate Last Quest winning, trained by Gratz Vella (centre) and ridden by Teaghan Martin.

RACING: The Adaminaby Races drew some of the best country horses and jockeys for this A close finish in Race two as horses dash to the post at the year’s meet.

PHOTOS: Melinda Cairns Hack Adaminaby Races.

The Power of Love was second and Gurty was back in third. For Nick Heywood, the current NSW country region’s most successful jockey, it was his first time to Adaminaby and he reported having enjoyed the day and the atmosphere.

Race two was the Cooma H Hardware – High Country Truss and Frames – Monaro Wool Shute Bell Class 1 Hcp and saw local hope Mia’s Dream fly from an outside barrier, stringing the field out and maintaining a good break into the straight.

With jockey Rebecca

Bronett Prag riding, with 50 metres to go, race-caller Kel O’Rourke said that Mia’s Dream was “running out of petrol vouchers.”

Nonetheless, she tried hard for trainer David Kelley to be nailed right on the line to run third, beaten by the John Rolfe trained Arctic Desert, ridden by Ellen Hennessey, and with Miss Bentley in second placing. There was only a head margin separating each horse.

Race three was the Kirshner Mackay Property & Livestock Benchmark 45 Hcp over 1300 metres and saw a field of eight

with Capital Venture a late scratching after becoming unsettled in the barriers.

In what was the best result of the day for local trainers, Walk Up Start, trained at Cooma by David Kelley, and ridden very well by Rebecca Bronett Prag, stormed to an almost two-length victory over Bombala trainer “Skeet” Walder’s Deadly Weapon and with Kitty Karine in third.

There was only a nose margin separating second and third, and in fact from second to fifth was very close overall.

Race four was the Leed

Engineering Maiden Plate over 1400 metres and saw Political Power trained by Joe Cleary at Queanbeyan and ridden

by Richard Bensley successful over the Kevin Byrne, Jindabyne, trained Be Diplomatic and with Sacred Mistress, trained in Canberra by Luke Pepper, in third.

With Adaminaby having a strong racing history, their first meeting being in 1864, Walk Up Start’s win on Saturday made just a little bit more sentimental history for the trainer.

Having hobby-trained for more than 30 years and

used the same colours, white with red sleeves and cap, for that time, Kelley recently changed the colours to white with gold sleeves and cap.

These colours last won on the Adaminaby, or other local tracks, about 70 years ago when used by the late R J (Bob) Britt, who trained at Adaminaby, one of his last horses being called Bronzedale. Bob Britt was the current trainer’s maternal great-uncle.

The Cooma Cup and Sundowners Maiden Cup meeting will be held at Cooma Ti-Tree Racecourse on December 7.

Long distance runs test athletes AT COOMA Athletics on Saturday, the first long distance pack running events for the season, across all age groups, took place.

These distances ranged from 300m for the under 6s to 1500m for the older age groups.

These races were truly inspiring to watch. Every athlete showed great sportsmanship and dug deep to conquer the distances.

What was truly special was seeing the parent and sibling support as they ran next to athletes to keep them motivated and push through to the end.

“We really have a wonderful and supportive club, thank you everyone,” a club spokesperson said.

Personal best achievements were recorded by: U/6 G Lily Fitzgerald shot put 2.78m; U/8 B Ashton Watzinger 100m 20.92s; U/8 G Peyton Hope vortex 10.31m; U/9 Madeleine Jamieson vortex 13.40m; U/11 B Panos Xenochristou

Jindabyne Yabbies to fold AUSTRALIA’S highest surf life saving club, the Lake Jindabyne Yabbies has made the difficult decision to cease operation due to a number of factors, including a lack of volunteers.

Posting the decision on their Facebook page on Thursday November 21, the news was received with sadness, with many comments of disappointment in losing the club.

“It is with sadness that we announce the Lake Jindabyne Yabbies will not be running for the foreseeable future due to a number of governing factors,” the post read.

“This decision was not made lightly, as the club holds a cherished place in the heart of the Jindabyne community.

“For over 27 years, the Yabbies have been a cornerstone of water safety education and surf lifesaving in our region. During this time, countless kids have gained invaluable knowledge, skills, and life lessons. Many of these young members have gone on to achieve their

surf lifesaving accreditations, competing and excelling at competitions from club level through to national level.

“What makes their achievements all the more remarkable is the unique environment they have come from Jindabyne, nestled in the Snowy Mountains, far from the ocean. Yet, they’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with coastal competitors, proving their resilience, determination, and talent.

“We are incredibly proud of everything the Yabbies have accomplished. These young lifesavers can hold their heads high, knowing the legacy of their hard work and the water safety knowledge they’ve gained will stay with them for life.

“Although this chapter is coming to a close, the impact of the Lake Jindabyne Yabbies will continue to ripple through our community.

We thank everyone, past and present, who has supported the club and its mission.”

The Yabbies have invited the community to a farewell open day on Saturday November 30 from 10am to 3pm at the Jindabyne Sailing Club.

As part of wrapping up their operations, the Yabbies need to clean out the shed and are offering up equipment to the community. Items on offer include rescue boards, race boards, nipper boards and “Little Annie” rescue CPR equipment.

The event will provide the opportunity for people to come along for a chat and grab something useful or nostalgic to remember the legacy of the Lake Jindabyne Yabbies.

“We look forward to seeing you there and thank you for your continued support of our club over the years,” the Facebook post read.

President Marty Firle says if anyone with surf lifesaving credentials is interested in volunteering to keep the club going, contact the club via email at jindabyneyabbies@ gmail.com.

History making win THRILLING VICTORY DELIVERS BERRIDALE T20 CROWN

By NATHAN THOMPSON THE Berridale Whitetails have won their first senior title in more than a decade, with a last ball boundary from Daniel Watts sealing one of the great Monaro cricket victories.

Watts’ efforts took Berridale past the Cooma Titans score of 4/179 in a gripping finale to the Monaro T20 competition.

Watts walked to the crease with his team requiring three runs to win, and when Usama Zahid strayed down the leg side, he helped it on its way to the fine leg boundary.

The all-rounder was swamped by his teammates soon after, with the shot taking last year’s wooden spooners all the way to a grand final win.

Watts fine day out saw the off-spinner capture three wickets earlier in the day in the Whitetails qualifying final win over Rhythm, as well as holding an important catch to dismiss destructive Titans opener Hassan Nawaz in the first innings of the premiership decider.

The Titans score looked a good one on a top of a wicket at Rotary Oval, led by half centuries from Amir Zaman and Aqib Abassi.

The Whitetails went on the attack from the outset through openers Tom King and Justin McCarey, with the pair putting on 66 before McCarey (45) fell to Babar Rahman in the sixth over.

Zac McKenzie came in fresh off a fifty against Rhythm and played some fine shots, but also fell to Rahman (2-32) with the score at 2-92.

King and skipper Russ Haylock looked to push on, running hard

between the wickets and putting on a partnership of 68. King (56) fell shortly after reaching his fifty, leaving 20 more runs to win from the remaining four overs.

There was to be a twist in the tail, with Nawaz (1-26) dismissing Tristan Hamilton and Titans captain Mirza Zeeshan (1-33) knocking over Alex Thomson.

Brad Claughton joined Haylock, who fell on the penultimate delivery for 37, allowing Watts to enter and electrify the Berridale crowd with his last ball heroics.

Meanwhile in Jindabyne, a century for Isaac Dawson ensured the Tigers wrapped up the Plate final, downing Dalgety in a dominant win.

Dalgety had beaten an undermanned Bombala earlier in the day, defending their score of 93 despite the best efforts of Mark Tonks (21) and Paul Brodie (20*).

The Alpine Hotel one day competition will begin on Saturday, with the Titans and Whitetails battling again at Rotary, Coffey’s take on Rhythm at Nijong and Dalgety head to Bombala.

A JURY will decide this week if NSW Senior Constable, Kristian White, is guilty or not-guilty of the manslaughter of 95-year-old, Clare Nowland.

White’s trial lasted eight days in the NSW Supreme Court where he maintained his not-guilty plea to the manslaughter of Mrs Nowland, who he tasered in her Yallambee Lodge residence on May 17, 2023.

White, alongside another NSW Police officer and two NSW ambulance officers, attended Yalllambee Lodge in the early hours of May 17, following a triple-zero call from a Yallambee Lodge worker. Mrs Nowland was found wandering around Yallambee Lodge with a knife.

White’s defence team did not contest Mrs Nowland died a week later as a result of her injuries from being tasered, but argued the officer’s actions were in proportion to the risk faced.

In closing statements before Justice Ian Harrison and to the jury, defence barrister, Troy Edwards SC, asked the jury to consider that multiple witnesses said they were ‘scared’ the knife could be used on them.

Prosecutor, Brett Hatfield SC, put to the jury that White was ‘fed-up’ and ‘impatient’. Earlier in the trial when White was on the stand under cross-examination, Mr Hatfield asked the office if stepping away would’ve avoided any risk.

At the time of this masthead going to print, the jury was still to deliver its verdict. Check our website for an updated story.

By TRISTA HEATH IN ITS 24th year, Hartley Lifecare (Hartley), a Canberra-based not-for-profit organisation, challenged cyclists to a two-day charity event showcasing the region’s beauty last Friday and Saturday.

Established in 1962, Hartley provides supported accommodation for people with disability, their families, and carers.

Originally established to provide a learning facility and therapy support service for children and adults, Hartley has grown extensively to support clients in more than 30 homes across the ACT. CEO of Hartley Lifecare, Eric Thauvette, said Hartley supports people with disabilities and their families in their own homes as well as offering 24-7 support.

“We are able to offer more than 30 houses for group living, we have a hydro-therapy pool, and we provide respite care to 23 families on a rotating basis,” Thauvette said.

“All money raised from this event goes to supporting people with disabilities and their families.

“The houses we own have been purchased from money raised in previous year’s, there has been an incredible amount of money raised over time to be able to build these houses, it is wonderful that we are able to provide this to our community.

The challenge was completed over two-days as cyclists covered hundreds kilometres.

“At Hartley it is all about how we can support them to live their best lives.”

Cyclists begin training a year out from the challenge, approach sponsors and fundraise immediately with more than $130,000 raised so far.

Up to 12 cyclists per team and staying at Jindabyne Sport and Rec, the challenge day one included cycling the back roads of Jindabyne to Braemer Bay then circling back to Bredbo, Dalgety and Beloka Hill before heading back to Jindabyne then

on the second day the teams made their ascent to Charlotte Pass and back.

Two cyclists took on the Charlotte Pass challenge on a tandem bike, making the entire trip with no incident.
