Brad joined the Cobar station in January 2005 as their 151st firefighter and served as their captain for almost eight years. (He was Cobar’s 18th captain and one of their longest serving.)

“These stories form an important part of the area’s history and should not be lost.

“The legacy of their existence and the sites of what remains are like remote monuments to the development of modern Australia and the identity of the Outback.

“They are like an archive holding the story of Western NSW during this development period.”

Mr Hull said the entire Gidgee Media team has a strong connection to the region and a deep passion for the area.

“The team are also working with local historians, photographers and, most importantly, local storytellers, so the narrative of the region gets told by the people of the region – that’s really important,” Mr Hull said.

“The project team has already been busy gathering information but they want local residents to have their say and the stakeholder workshops are an opportunity for people to provide additional information and stories.”

Peak donates to 29 local groups

Aurelia Metals’ Peak Gold Mines has donated an impressive $124,020 to 29 local community groups this past year and they aren’t done yet.

Peak’s Environment & Community Advisor Laura Newton said the company has another round of community donations funding coming up next month.

Twelve local groups were among the beneficiaries of the mine’s Quarter 3 donations which were recently handed out and amounted to almost $50,000.

Laura said the company was pleased to be able to help out with some interesting local projects including the Cobar Youth Council’s nutrition and education program which received $5,000 in this latest round of funding.

“We’ve also helped Cobar High School with accommodation and travel costs for students to attend the School Spectacular, the Cobar Business Association to supply entertainment for the Christmas Street Parade and also donated $8,800 for two fire fighting units for the Sandy Creek Fire Brigade,” Laura said.

Other beneficiaries from the latest round of funding included: Buckwaroon Landcare Group, Cobar Roosters Rugby League Club, Cobar Junior Rugby League, Cobar Swimming Club, Copper City Men’s Shed, Iron Ring Committee, Cobar Lady Golfers and the Dust Bowl Fuel Burners club.

The mine welcomes applications from any local sporting and charity groups.

Quarter 4 donations will be advertised next month.

Local Firies are well supported

Fire and Rescue NSW Acting Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell AFSM (at far right) and Assistant Commissioner for Regional Operations Cheryl Steer (at left) were in Cobar on Saturday to meet with the Cobar Fire Station 256 crew and CSA Mine manager Rob Walker (second from right), one of the local employers in our community that supports the station. Acting Commissioner Fewtrell said the Cobar crew turned out to 83 emergency events in the past year, assisting with a range of fires, car crashes, medical emergencies and rescues but that couldn’t be done without the support of local businesses such as the CSA Mine, Cobar Shire, Aurelia Metals and Cobar TAFE, all of whom employ Cobar station crew members. ▪ Photo contributed

“I think the Chamber Musical Festival is starting to do just that,” Ms Andrew said.

Cobar Police were called to the Cobar Bowling & Golf Club to sort out a fight between two male patrons around 11pm on Friday night.

Police had been contacted by staff regarding an altercation between a 33 year old Cobar male who alleged he’d been assaulted by a 55 year old local man, causing his nose to bleed.

Cobar Police Sergeant Warwick Laing said police directed both men to leave the area due to their level of intoxication and behaviour.

“Investigations are continuing into this matter,” Sergeant Laing said.

A call for more trees to be planted Following the recent clearing of an area at the eastern entrance to town for a free camp parking space, there’s been a call for some new trees to be planted there.

The matter was discussed at a recent Tourism Advisory Committee meeting.

Cobar Services Club manager Linda Carter praised Cobar Shire Council for opening up the area to give caravan visitors more parking space closer to town but suggested the area could do with some trees.

Council’s Tourism Manager Demi Smith advised the request would be taken to council for consideration.

Demi advised the meeting that our visitor numbers at the Tourist Information Centre and the Great Cobar Museum to the end of August are slightly down on last year’s figures however income at the museum is up on last year’s tally ie we’ve had less visitors but they are spending more.

During the meeting local historians Kay Stingemore and John Collins outlined the work they have been doing to revamp the grave markers at Cobar Cemetery.

A number of old wooden markers have deteriorated and are being replaced by metal plaques.

Mr Collins reports among those markers they have replaced were one for a local legend, Norman Ferson, who was born in Canada and died in 1909 at age 109.

There’s also John Jacobsen, who Mr Collins said not much is known about only that he came from Nymagee. Jacobsen died in 1936 at age 110 and is believed to be the oldest man buried at the cemetery.

Time out for teens

The Cobar Youth and Community Centre provided a space for teens to take some time out on Friday night offering kids 12 years and older the opportunity to chill out, watch a movie and a variety of games including basketball, squalleyball, table tennis or pool like Talas Burke, Maddie Bruce, Parker Cryer, Malina Bottom, Amara Bottom and George McDonald pictured above. ▪ Photo by work experience student Luke Giurin
