Doug’s pride & joy

When Dubbo Photo News published a photo on our Paparazzi page back in September of a very swank looking vintage car, the owner and the car’s story were unknown. A call out

for more information soon found the owner, Doug McKay (pictured), who now shares the remarkable story of this lovingly restored 1928 Chrysler inside today’s paper.

Residents see cloud over Suntop solar project

State election candidates face union crowd at Dubbo forum

Macquarie River Mega-Bucks fishing comp has mega results

CONSTRUCTION of a 286MWp solar farm at Suntop near Wellington looks set to begin in early 2019, and now plans for a second farm at the sunny location are also underway, with the developers Photon Energy and Canadian Solar confirming they have started consultation with stakeholders. But the plan for the second farm has some local residents hot under the collar. Fifth generation farmer Sam Frogley of ‘Rosebank’ wasn’t happy with one solar farm in the area but accepted it, however the thought of a second solar farm spanning such a large area seems ridiculous to him.

CANDIDATES for the state seat of Dubbo took questions from members of the Public Service Association (PSA) at Dubbo RSL on Monday evening, but the format and timeframe didn’t allow for many fireworks. Jobs and job conditions were the main focus of the questions, with the union vowing to bring the fight on privatisation and public service cuts to the government. PSA General Secretary Stewart Little said that the Berejiklian Government has brutalised the public service, and that has hit the regions particularly hard.

FISHING competitions in the state’s west will never be the same again. Just days after launching the Macquarie River Megabucks, Inland Waterways president Matt Hansen said the demand was so off the charts that the prize money was tripled. It’s the latest in innovative awareness-raising from Inland Waterways about the state of our rivers and native fish stocks, and is all about educating people not just to stop doing the wrong thing, but to actively do the right thing, and encourage your mates along the way.
