Profile DANNIELLE FOSTER Where do you work? Self-employed hairdresser at Experience Bliss Hair and Beauty. I specialise in Qiqi permanent straightening and oxygen therapy facials. Insta: @experienceblisshairwithdann Have you always lived in Dubbo? I grew up in Coolah and moved to Dubbo about 15 years ago.

What are your favourite memories growing up in Dubbo or your hometown? Chalk Chase every Christmas. The older children in our family and friendship groups would find the best houses with Christmas lights and one night before Christmas they would send us on a hunt around the town.

On every corner under each street light they would draw an arrow in whichever direction the Christmas lights were and we would follow. At the end of the night’s walk, the older kids would hide somewhere and scare the life out of us when we made it to the finish line.

What do you like to do in your spare time? I have three boys (including my husband) so most of my time is spent with them when I’m not working. I love it!

Do you have any hidden talents or special skills? Is Ninja-rolling out of my kid’s bed classed as a special skill? Or eyes in the back of my head? I’m on my way to remembering the algorithms of a Rubik’s cube, so give me a few weeks and I might be able to brag about that! I also play piano and have been a member of Dubbo Theatre Company since 2008. Their 2024 season of shows is going to be a lot of fun… can’t wait!

Are you a morning person or a night owl? I’m a bit of both really. I can’t sleep in, but I don’t want to go to bed early either!

Do you have any pets? No I don’t and haven’t since I was about eight years old.

What are you watching at the moment? I now have a subscription to Brit Box so I’m loving all the British shows. Murder mysteries or comedies I gravitate to. I am a Bridgerton fan, too!

Have you read any good books lately? Yes. Bringing Up Boys Who Like Themselves (Kasey Edwards) and Mothering Our Boy (Maggie Dent).

What music do you like to listen to? I love musicals the most. Come From Away and Les Misérables are my favourites, but I will listen to any genre of music (except rap).

What does the next five years look like for you? Watching my boys grow up in what will feel like five minutes. An overseas holiday to England, camping trips, and building my hairdressing business.

First place for Skillset kids raising calves in regional farm career project SUCCESSFULLY raising two dairy calves – followed by a remote demonstration about the experience – has won students from a local school the regional prize in a national careers-in-agriculture competition.

The annual ‘Cows Create Careers’ program, which ran throughout term three in schools in the Central West, culminated in a number of online presentation days with Skillset Senior College’s Dubbo campus winning first place in the senior division in the Central NSW region.

This win offers the school the opportunity to submit a final entry for the national ‘Cows Create Careers’ competition, with a chance to be in the running for a $3000 prize announced on Monday, November 20.

The presentation day celebrated the achievements of the students who have completed the innovative ‘Cows Create Careers’ project, which aims to increase the increase the awareness of dairy industry careers in a very hands-on way: students rear and care for two three-week-old calves at their school.

The project involved a local dairy farmer teaching the

students how to care for the calves, while an industry advocate visits the students to speak about their career in the dairy industry.

Students were also required to form teams to complete assessments based on the dairy industry. Students also learnt about the environment, technology and machinery used on farm.

“The presentation days are a great way to recognise and celebrate both the students’ and teachers’ dedication to the ‘Cows Create Careers’ project,” spokesperson John Hutchison said.

“It’s extremely encouraging to see the ongoing benefits of the project; not only are the students learning about the diversity of skills required in the industry, but it also directly connects them to their local community,” he added.

‘Cows Create Careers’ was established in 2004 with dairy farmers in the Strzelecki Lions Club in Victoria and nine Gippsland schools. It has now grown to 218 schools across Australia with more than 15,000 students completing the project in 2023.

John said the project’s passionate volunteers are vi-

tal to the continued success of the ‘Cows Create Careers’ project: “Since its inception ‘Cows Create Careers’ has gained support from industry, regional development

programs, dairy farmers and sponsors across Australia.

“Last year alone over 400 passionate volunteered their time across 23 Australian dairy regions,” John said.

THE Toyota Tour de OROC, operated by the Rotary Club of Dubbo South, is a challenging six-day biennial bicycle ride created in 2013 to raise funds for Macquarie Home Stay. The Tour de OROC travels from Dubbo through Coonamble, Walgett, Lightning Ridge, Brewarrina, Bourke and Cobar. The tour has donated almost $660,000 to Macquarie Home Stay already, and is currently taking registrations for next year’s ride.

The 2024 Toyota Tour de OROC will commence on March 18, running until March 24, and has now added an exciting addition of a raffle to win a RAV4.

Dubbo City & Gilgandra Toyota have continued their partnership in the event and proudly presented a RAV4 to raffle to increase the funds raised for Macquarie Home Stay’s planned extensions. The Stage 2 accommodation plans include 26 units committed to the support of patients

and their carers when attending the Western Cancer Centre.

“Macquarie Home Stay provides an essential service to western NSW residents who need to come to Dubbo for medical treatment,” said Tour de OROC committee member David Ringland. “The Toyota Tour de OROC has been incredibly successful in raising funds over the years to support Macquarie Home Stay and visiting the communities who benefit from the service throughout the six-day tour is incredibly rewarding.

Seeing the impact this service has on western communities, we wanted to take things up a notch. So, this year we are doubling down on our fundraising efforts, and together with Dubbo City & Gilgandra Toyota we are launching the ‘WIN A RAV4’ raffle.”

MEET THE BOSS: Tim McCloud - owner of ‘You Galah’

By LANA EATHER

‘You Galah’ is a bright vibrant café nestled in South Dubbo’s Jubilee Street. Owner Tim McCloud has created his dream business with a strong vision and passion for an atmosphere of community and belonging.

••• I got involved with the hospitality industry when I was quite young after studying hospitality in school. I have now been working in hospitality for 16 years.

What inspired You Galah?

Dubbo offered my wife and I a fantastic opportunity here, and we couldn’t look past the chance to open our own café. I have always loved the neighbourhood cafes, and the relationships that are built within these communities. They support people and become an extension of their lives and homes. We wanted to create another space like that in Dubbo.

What are people loving about You Galah?

I hope everyone is loving

how they feel when they visit You Galah. We try to make everyone feel super welcome, and at home in our space. Great coffee and delicious food have long been a big part of building connections– we want to inspire those connections.

What are people enjoying on the menu?

Our Signature Breakky Roll is constantly a favourite.

What is the best part about your job?

The best part of the job is the people- the team and the mates that visit!

What do you do in your down time?

I like to play Dungeons and Dragons. I’m also into Cricket. Definitely enjoying the World Cup at the moment.

What’s a big challenge you’ve had to overcome at You Galah?

Our biggest challenge was updating the building. It used to be a little - although famous - takeaway shop back in the day and has had many businesses through since then. We spent a few months completing renovations. This included taking out a wall to open up the space, redoing the

ceiling and put in new walls over the old ones. We want to build a connection to this country of the Wiradjuri people and the Dubbo area- so we chose colours that resonate- the red colour of our earth, the pinks of the birds and the white as a spiritual connection.

What three famous people, dead or alive would you invite to dinner?

Will Guidara- a famous American restaurateur and hospitality guru based in New York City.

Desmond Tutu- known for his work as an antiApartheid and human rights activist in South Africa.

William Cooper- Yorta-Yorta man and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rights leader All three are inspirational!

The best piece of career advice I have received is…

“Pursue what you are passionate about.”

This advice has helped crystallise a lot.

And if I wasn’t in my current role, I’d… be making coffee and waiting tables somewhere. I really do love the hospitality industry.

Amy’s dream job at the zoo

Taronga Western Plains Zoo Keeper Amy Sturrock behind the scenes with Greater One-horned Rhino Hari. PHOTO: TARONGA WESTERN PLAINS ZOO.

By SHARON BONTHUYS GETTING to work with animals and people every day is an incredible job, says Dubbo zookeeper Amy Sturrock.

Ms Sturrock, 24, works with Asian wetland animals including Asian small clawed otters and the greater one-horned rhino at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo. “I love the zoo animals, which are always so personable, cheeky and unpredictable,” she said.

“I also really like the guest side of things, being able to share the conservation message, talk to guests and share the stories about the animals and generate interest from the public in these species.”

If you haven’t thought about rhino being a wetland species, Ms Sturrock says the

greater one-horned rhino do actually like the water.

“We have three species of rhino here at the zoo. Two of them are African species and they are more mud-loving, but the Indian or greater one-horned rhino do love the water,” she said.

Another surprising fact is that otters are found in many parts of the world. The ones Ms Sturrock works with are found across south-east Asia, including Singapore and Vietnam.

“There are 13 different species of otter and they are found on every continent except for Australia and Antarctica. There are North American river otters that look just like ours but are a little bit bigger.

Asian small clawed otters are the smaller species,” she said.

Ms Sturrock found her way into her dream role through the Taronga Western Plains Zoo’s innovative Youth At The Zoo (YATZ) volunteering program. YATZ enables teens aged between 13 and 18 years to learn how the zoo operates, develop skills for the future, and celebrate animals and conservation.

After volunteering with YATZ, Ms Sturrock completed a Certificate III in Captive Animals through internal training pathways at the zoo. Being able to study right here in Dubbo meant that Ms Sturrock didn’t have to leave home to gain her qualification.

She then moved in a casual role before transitioning to full time zookeeping about three years ago.

A typical day for Zookeeper Amy in-

volves cleaning, feeding and animal training.

“A big part of my day is all the cleaning and feeding of the animals, making sure they’re well fed and [cleaning] the exhibits and paddocks each day,” she said.

Training is also very important, Ms Sturrock said.

“With a 2000-kilo rhino, we can’t exactly hold them down [to administer] medication, so we do training with them. If they need something or any extra healthcare, we can do it safely through a fence.”

Ms Sturrock encourages anyone considering a career in zookeeping to “100 per cent go for it.

“It’s such a rewarding career, definitely one I’ve enjoyed pursuing.”

Holiday work brings Tom to Fletchers

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY TOM Tran can possibly brag he’s seen more of Australia than most Aussies. Arriving from Vietnam in 2017 with a working holiday visa in hand, he and his wife travelled far and wide, along the east coast, working and exploring the great Downunder.

Before accepting a job with Fletcher International Exports, Tom was employed by meat factories in Queensland and Victoria, and while he’s grateful for those job opportunities it’s been the renowned work environment at Fletchers that’s kept him in Dubbo.

“My supervisor, my managers; they care about us, so, yes, while I don’t know about the future, I’m very happy here for now,” he recently told Dubbo Photo News.

Signing on to Fletchers in January this year, Tom’s first role was on the harvest floor as a labourer and it’s an important starting point for any employee there to always have insight into the workings of the company in the opportunity to progress up the ranks presents itself.

“Because I’m on a working holiday visa I had to start on the harvest floor, which I did with the other companies I worked with in Queensland and Victoria, then when I came here, I still did the same, but I have since had the

chance to go to work with the Quality Assurance team,” he said.

Back home in Vietnam, Tom had a career in the vastly different industry of marketing, as a client relationship account manager.

“I worked for an advertising company liaising with our clients on their marketing campaigns, their live events, digital marketing, and I was the person who communicated with our technical teams to serve the clients, and they were companies like Unilever and Nestle.

“At Fletchers I now work in Quality Assurance, which is quite different to marketing but I’m happy here so why not, I have friends here, I like Australia, I’ve been working in the country now for six years, so it’s good,” he said.

When asked what he would say to someone curious about working at Fletchers, Tom explains he’s already influenced other applicants from Vietnam to apply.

“Some people have set ideas about what it’s like to work in a meat factory because they’ve never done it before and really can’t imagine it, so I just share my own experiences and tell them, it is just a job, and you have a good environment and good coworkers and a management team who care about you.

“For example, I met the owner Roger Fletcher when I first started

because he comes to meet everyone when they start and it’s the first time that I’ve ever seen that happen in the abattoir industry, where the owner comes to meet you, to say hello and welcome you personally.”

Outside of work and on days off, Tom and his wife particularly enjoy travelling around to see the sights and he has a passion for photography, so takes advantage of discovering his surrounds through a camera lens.

“Each place has a unique beauty and I think the place I liked the most was Queensland because it’s very similar to my hometown in Vietnam but a place like Dubbo also has its unique beauty, like the outback, we have a different view of it and I find the beauty in it,” he said.

“I don’t think I have a favourite place for photography though, however I do have the most photogenic person and that’s my wife,” Tom said with a smile.

Tom’s wife is a studying during the couple’s working holiday and lives in Dubbo too, but their romance began when they first met in New Zealand a few years ago.

“After we met there, we visited Australia for a short time, then went back to Vietnam, got married, and lived for a few years together, and then we came back to Australia because it was her dream to come and work here actually, so

I said OK, why not.

“We don’t have children yet, but if we’re lucky and get the chance to settle in Australia, we would start a family, even in Dubbo, I see so many young families here, it’s a good place for families,” he said.

If there’s anything that the couple might find is a bit of a chal-

lenge, it’s the weather extremes of the central west.

“It’s a little harder for my wife because I was born in the north part of Vietnam, and we do have a winter there, but she is from the south where they don’t have cold weather at all,” he said.

The sky is the limit for Eliza...

Eliza, now 14, enjoys dance and drama. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By LANA EATHER

E

liza was born 30 weeks premature.

At her newborn tests Eliza passed without any concerns, but her family quickly detected some developmental issues like her legs crossing automatically whenever she was picked up. Specialists suggested the possibility of cerebral palsy, and warned the family Eliza may not learn to crawl or walk.

Eliza was ultimately diagnosed with spastic diplegia.

Spastic diplegia is a type of spastic Cerebral Palsy mainly affecting the motor control in the legs. The family relocated to the Dubbo region, and Eliza attended some early intervention therapy. At four-and-ahalf Eliza began working with Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA). The Alliance

is a centre offering Cerebral Palsy research, advocacy, intervention and assistive technology innovation.

At five years old Eliza had spinal surgery to disconnect nerves to ease the spastic tightening of her muscles. To be chosen for this surgery Eliza needed to attend intensive therapy afterwards. Eliza was extremely fortunate to have this physiotherapy available locally in Dubbo.

After surgery Eliza began physiotherapy several times a week with CPA. Eliza is now 14 and in Year 8. She has been selected for a high achievers’ program, loves to dance, and enjoys drama. She doesn't require assistance to walk aside from ankle foot orthosis (AFOs) and she is close to her dream of walking completely

unassisted. Eliza attends physiotherapy regularly.

Eliza’s mother Fiona shared: “Eliza has been very lucky to have therapists that make therapy as fun as it can be, and also make each session family friendly.” Cerebral Palsy Alliance offers professional development and networking events within the Dubbo region.

CPA Dubbo recently provided professional development for local clinicians with world-renowned Professor Iona Novak presenting on the Rehabilitation Evidence-Based Decision-Making Model (READ). This model outlines the process to arrange collaboratively set goals, and to select appropriate interventions therefore improving client outcomes.

Artist-in-residence project for local school groups

ĶĶĶĐ½©Ú þâ ¥âÚ þ© Jack Randall with West Dubbo Public School art students during Dubbo Council’s 'Art in Schools' program.

AN INNOVATIVE partnership between Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) and local primary schools has provided students the opportunity to work with a local artist and have their works exhibited.

The ‘Art in Schools’ program is an initiative of DRC’s SPARC cultural plan, which seeks to provide students who may not have access to arts education the chance to learn from creative professionals and become inspired to embrace creativity and art making as part of their overall education.

“This year is the first year we have run the program with students from Buninyong Public School and West Dubbo Public School involved,” DRC Regional Experiences Education Officer Rebecca Walker said.“Having an artist as a teacher is a special opportunity for the students and as this is the first time the program has been run both teachers and students have responded with great enthusiasm and engagement.”

As part of the program, local artist Jack Randall has taken his artistic knowledge and expertise into the school environment and delivered art lessons to a select group of students from each school.

The feedback received by the students who took part in the program in 2023 was positive, with students saying if they had

the chance they would participate again.

Students from Buninyong Public School’s High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) program took part in the first landscape painting workshop series, with the school hosting Mr Randall for a five-week artist-in-residency.

“Not only was the experience invaluable but the finished students’ artworks were exceptional and something they are all very proud of,” Buninyong Public Assistant Principal, Stage Three, Erin Faulds said.

“The students benefited from working alongside a seasoned industry professional like Jack,” Ms Fauls added.

The second workshop for 2023, was undertaken at Dubbo West Public School where students and teachers also had the opportunity to learn from Mr Randall, before their work was placed on exhibition at the school.

“Having a professional piece of art up for display and working with a canvas is something these students haven’t done very often so that has been a highlight,” teacher Emma Starr said.

“The program has provided the students with professional artistic techniques as well and that has been of benefit to the teachers watching so we have been able to upskill teachers as well,” Ms Starr concluded.

Great specials on at Petstock Country Dubbo

GRAND OPENING THIS WEEKEND! D

edicated to you and your pet’s health, wellbeing, and happiness, Petstock Country Dubbo are having their grand opening this weekend.

Taking over from beloved local pet care business, Furney’s Pet Xtra, late last year, Petstock Country have got some great deals for their Saturday and Sunday event.

“Now that we’ve rebranded the business, we’re having our grand opening with the Petstock Country brand on Saturday, 4th and Sunday, 5th November,” spokesperson Leanne Doherty said.

“We’re stocking more of our specialist Petstock Country range, with offers for dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles, small animals, as well as the original equine and hobby farm range, plus more” she added.

This weekend, there are a range of fantastic deals for locals looking to get some great pre-Christmas specials.

“Get more value with 20 per cent off storewide, with some exceptions, free do-it-yourself dog washes, and free nail-clipping,” Leanne revealed.

“There’ll also be puppy school demonstrations, a local coffee van giving away $250 worth of coffees, and Dubbo Lions Club are running a barbecue.”

If you’re thinking of owning a pet in the future, Petstock Country have everything you need and a knowledgeable team that can answer your questions and offer great advice.

“On Saturday, we’re hosting an ‘adoption day’

Ready to round-up the specials; “Mungo” is looking forward to Petstock Country Dubbo’s grand opening this weekend. PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

with the Dubbo City Animal Shelter, from 9am until 2pm,” Leanne said.

“On Sunday, the Triple M Black Thunder Pilots will be there from 10am to 12pm with games and giveaways,” she enthused.

You can also meet the husband-and-wife team, Darren and Kristy Bayley, the new managers who came to Dubbo and fell in love with the Golden West.

All your beloved pets’ needs: Avanna, Sophie and Taylah with “Macy”.

Kristy and Darren are living and loving the country life

“They were based out of our Nowra store and came to help set the store up and have been here ever since!

“They both loved the idea of living in a more rural place, so applied for positions here and got the roles,” she added. (see attached article).

As well as the well-loved pet food, health, and accessory items offered by Furney’s Pet Xtra, Petstock Country now provides an extended range of products.

Looking forward to the grand opening this weekend, Louise with “Mungo”, Sophie, Avanna, Taylah, Darren, Kristy. Zaidee and (front) Brodie.

The new management team for Petstock Country Dubbo, husbandand-wife team Darren and Kristy Bayley, are continuing a family tradition at our newest pet specialty retailer.

Because Petstock themselves are a family business.

Built on humble beginnings in regional Victoria, Petstock was born in 2002, a decade after the Young family took ownership of Ballarat Produce in 1991.

Brothers David and Shane built the business on family values and a passion for pets; the ingredients of the Petstock DNA.

This and their newfound love of country living is what brought Kristy and Darren – city born-andbred – to Dubbo.

The Bayley’s initially came here to help set up the new business after Petstock took over from Furney’s Pet Xtralate last year. They liked the town so much they decided to stay!

“We love it! The town is well-presented; the parks and gardens are outstanding, and the food is good,” Darren, Assistant Manager, said.

“We do find the people very friendly, and it has that historic type of charm,” he added.

Being a husband-and-wife team

“Because it’s a Petstock Country store, we have everything for horse and hobby farm-owners, as well as products for dogs, cats, birds, fish and more” Leanne said.

Plus, there’s even more services for you and your pet with a grooming salon, do-it-yourself dog wash, water testing and name tag engraving.

Darren is also the lead trainer for Petstock Country Dubbo’s Puppy School, Leanne said.

“We have Puppy Pre School for dogs up to 16 weeks, for basic commands, toilet training, social interaction and loose lead walking.”.

“Then we have Level One for all dogs, teaching them basic commands, sit, stand, walk, and recall,” she added.

In the end, it’s the sense of community that makes all the difference at Petstock Country.

“Our team treat all their customers like family,” Leanne said.

“We’re a family-owned business, and that’s how we run our stores.”

So come on down to Petstock Country Dubbo at 54 Bourke St this weekend, Saturday 4th and Sunday, the 5th of November, for their grand opening.

To keep up to date with all their news and great offers, follow them on Facebook at: Petstock Country Dubbo.

For more information on Petstock & Petstock Country go to:

www.petstock.com.au

Living-in and loving the country life; Petstock Country Dubbo Assistant Manager, Darren Bayley

also complements the family values that run through the Petstock brand, Darren believes.

“They are that type of company, we show support for one another and everyone here is very happy.

“We’re also a very diverse sort of workforce, something we aim for here,” he added.

The couple love their work and live their lives as devoted pet owners themselves: “Yeah, we’re real pet lovers, Kristy and I have three dogs.”

As well as leading the way with puppy training and dog school classes, Darren adds that the store

is now about 20 per cent bigger with even more brands available.

“We’ve refurbished a storage area out the back into a bigger, better-stocked store with more premium products.

“We’ve also brought in more services, like a do-it-yourself dog wash. We’re having our grand opening from 9am to 2pm on Saturday, and from 10am to 2pm, on Sunday where you can test out our new do-it-yourself dog wash for free,” Darren concluded.

Kristy, Darren and the team cannot wait to see you and your pets in-store!

T

he third Stock Route Music Festival in Dubbo next April is looking to be the biggest and best-ever, organisers believe.

With music fans already booking from interstate, and the headline act, Canadian sensation Dan Davidson, everything’s looking good for the Lazy River Estate-hosted celebration of all things country.

“This is our third year, we held one in 2022, this year, and we’re expecting next year’s to be the biggest and the best yet,” event Publicity Officer, Bec Gracie enthused.

“It’s going to be a fun, family-friendly event, we’ve already got bookings from Queensland, the ACT, and all over NSW, it’s going to be a great time for Dubbo and the Central West,” she added.

Joining the dynamic roster of talents, includes Australian award-winning artist, Travis Collins Golden Guitar winners, Ashleigh Dallas, and the legendary 1980s Australian bush-band, The Bushwackers.

“For the second time we’re also running an emerging talent competition that offers local and regional performers the chance to perform in the concert as the opening act,” Bec said.

“We’ve also got Star Maker talent, Max Jackson, and the Central West’s own country rocker, Robbie Mortimer; and don’t forget, there’ll be great food and a fantastic atmosphere for everyone,” she added.

Dan Davidson also shared his excitement at his first appearance at the event, highlighting all that’s best, in the golden west.

“I’m thrilled to announce my return to Australia next year for the Stock Route Festival in Dubbo,” he said.

“The Australian country music scene has a special place in my heart, and I can't wait to connect with the amazing fans once again.” Fellow co-headliner, chart-topper Travis Collins is again looking forward to returning to Dubbo.

“I’m excited to be getting back to Dubbo and being part of such a remarkable event,” he said.

“There’s something magical about playing a festival in the NSW Central West, and I’m really looking forward to sharing my music with the passionate country music community out there.”

Lazy River Estate Directors, Mat and Krissy Smith are enthusiastic about the expansion of the festival and bringing

new artists to the attention of music-lovers in the NSW Central West and beyond.

“We are incredibly excited to bring back the Stock Route Music Festival next year, bigger and better than ever before,” they said.

“Our collaboration with international artists like Dan Davidson is a testament to the festival’s growing reputation. We can't wait to welcome everyone to this spectacular celebration of country music in the heart of Dubbo.”

The Stock Route Music Festival is on Saturday, April 20 on the beautiful Macquarie River at Lazy River Estate starting in the afternoon and going through the evening. Tickets are available now, so get your bookings in for a real country music party, that everyone is invited to.

IN FOCUS THUMBS UP! Thumbs up to the very honest, hardworking staff at Officeworks who found my lost handbag in the store.

It contained lots of things, including money. Thank you so, so much.

Thumbs up to Patrick’s Restaurant in Fitzroy Street. A group from Horizons Village had lunch there and the consensus was that it was a lovely venue with great food, a nice ambience and very affordable prices.

Thumbs up to the incredibly patient and wonderful lady in Williams Shoes at Orana Mall. You were so wonderful to me while I was purchasing (and swapping) school shoes for my daughter. After three visits and an online order, she is very happy and so am I. She has worn them to school today. I appreciate everything. THAT is customer service done right.

Thumbs up to the crew at The Pool Hut. Being new to having an inground pool, and to keep it in tip-top shape, I needed a lot of support and guidance. The Pool Hut provided me with that. The crew is always quick to help, honest and friendly.

Thumbs up to Ray Boden, brilliant painter. Polite, honest, keeps in touch, hard worker – I highly recommend him.

Thumbs up to the BOQ staff in Dubbo who are absolutely wonderful, and nothing is ever too much trouble.

Thumbs up to Magnolia Café for always providing an enjoyable experience, with exceptional management, staff, coffee and food.

Thumbs up to Dubbo Photo News – you’re a high quality paper with great community spirit.

Dubbo Family Day Care wins Perpetual Star Award

DUBBO Family Day Care has been awarded the Perpetual Star Award in the 2023 Excellence in Family Day Care presentations, acknowledging the work of those who take care of pre-schoolers, in their home.

Each year, Family Day Care Australia selects an educator, coordinator, and service that has contributed to the family day care sector for a significant period of time (longer than 15 years), and continues to thrive.

“We are honoured to have received this award. Dubbo Family Day Care has been operating since 1976, and each year only one service in Australia is chosen for this award so we were very excited to hear in 2023 it was us,” Dubbo Family Day Care Coordinator Joanne Clark said of the award. “The wonderful thing about Family Day Care is that you become part of the children’s family.” The wonderful nature of the work, she added, is that one can develop those close relationships and they become part of their life and their home, some of them for

Dubbo Family Day Care has 27 educators that provide a service for over 200 children each week with Margaret Bernie one of the longest-standing educators having been part of the Dubbo service for the past 40 years.

“I’ve had a few generations of children come through and it’s so nice to be able to get to watch the kids grow up and still be in their lives as they get older. I’ve cared for children and then had them bring their children back to me when they became parents; an-

Mrs Clark said there was a continuing high need for childcare around the Dubbo region.

“We are always looking for more educators interested in joining the Family Day Care network in Dubbo. If anyone is interested in becoming an educator they can get in touch with the centre on 6801 4470,” Ms Clark said.

Dubbo Family Day Care will receive their award during the 2023 Excellence in Family Day Care Awards presentation night in November.

“You get to see these children do amazing things and it’s important to acknowledge that the work you do as an educator can help shape these children for life because you become part of their family,” she added.

NARROMINE locals were left astonished and slightly alarmed when a snake was spotted slithering up a tree at Noel Powell Oval on October 24.

The unexpected sighting has sparked curiosity and concern among residents, prompting wildlife experts to offer reassurance and advice.

A group of children training at the popular sports oval made the discovery, which brought their training to an abrupt halt, said Andrew Pearce from Tactical Aid, a local supplier of first aid, trauma supplies and fire protection services.

“The snake slithered up the tree and perched itself about two meters above the ground, seemingly undisturbed by the activity [on the oval below],” he said.

The experts believe the snake to be an eastern brown snake, a species no-

torious for its potent venom. Brown snakes, classified as one of Australia’s deadliest venomous reptiles, are commonly found in rural and urban areas and their presence in trees is not uncommon. There have been multiple reports of snakes in the Narromine and Dubbo regions.

The incident serves as a reminder for locals to remain vigilant and cautious when encountering snakes, especially during the summer season when they are more active. If anyone comes face-to-face with a snake it is important to stay as still as possible, as uncomfortable as that may be. “The snake will soon move on its way. They can strike far quicker than we can move and, unfortunately, most snake bites occur when people try to kill them,” Mr Pearce said. “[This] snake was left to hangout in the tree,” Mr Pearce added, reminding

DODGING THE DOLLAR DRAMA: A true blue guide to renovation budgeting

L

et’s face it, Aussies love a good home reno. Whether you’re trying to turn your humble abode into a palace worthy of a ‘Neighbours’ cameo, or just hoping to upgrade that retro ‘70s kitchen, there’s no escaping the ever-looming threat of the budget blowout.

But, fear not, prospective renovators!

We’ve gathered a few true blue tips to keep your budget as healthy as a kangaroo in spring.

1. Know Your Reno Ropes: The more you understand about what your renovation involves, the better prepared you’ll be. Do thorough research or even attend a few local DIY workshops. Knowledge is power (and savings)!

2. G’day, Mate Rates: While it might be tempting to go for the first contractor you meet, it’s always a good idea to get at least three quotes. Your cousin Barry might swear by his mate’s second-cousin’s builder, but shopping around can save you big bucks.

3. Avoid the “While You’re At It” Syndrome: We’ve all been there. You start with the idea of changing a light fixture and suddenly you’re contemplating a whole new living room. Stay focused on the task at hand and remember: every added ‘little’ thing can cause a big dent in the wallet.

4. Prepare for a Rainy Reno Day:

It’s a universal truth: unexpected costs will pop up. Whether it’s a hidden water leak or discovering your walls are held together with hopes and dreams, setting aside an additional 10-20 per cent of your budget for surprises can save you from a financial headache.

5. Embrace the Aussie Spirit of DIY: Not all tasks require professional hands. Painting walls, gardening, or even some tiling can be done by yourself with a bit of elbow grease and determination. Plus, there’s nothing like the satisfaction of standing back and thinking, “I did that!”

6. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Instead of splurging on brand new materials, consider upcycling or sourcing reclaimed goods. Vintage tiles or re-

purposed timber can add unique charm without breaking the bank.

7. Keep Your Eye on the (Money) Prize: Regularly review your budget, keeping tabs on what you’ve spent and what’s remaining. This’ll help you make informed decisions as you go.

So, before diving headfirst into your next reno project, take a moment to strategise. Your wallet – and perhaps your significant other – will thank you.

Remember, it’s not just about making your home look bonza; it’s about doing it smartly. Happy renovating!

Remember, always seek independent professional advice suitable for your specific situation.

The hidden gem....

Ballimore Public School There are always so many things to celebrate at our awesome little school.

Recently, our school participated in the Small Schools Athletic Carnival. Our relay team were successful in moving through to the next round - Western District Athletics Carnival. Our team went on to run third place, which now qualifies the team to go to the State level of competition. Well done to Halley, Tom, Alizah and Hadley.

The K-2 students recently visited Wambangalang Environmental Education Centre for the Teddy Bears Picnic. The students learnt

Proudly sponsored by

about the PAWS program (Plants, Animals, Water, Shelter) and enjoyed a picnic with their teddies in the forest. It was a great day out - plenty of fresh air and sunshine, whilst learning some very valuable environmental skills.

We have been busy upskilling our water confidence and stroke correction at the RSL club in Dubbo. The Intensive Swimming program is held over one week each year.

There is so much value in this program and our students have a great time getting in the water and improving their skills, just ahead of the hot summer season ahead.

OUT ON A LIMB

ARIES: If you have faith in your abilities, you’ll have what it takes to be promoted to a higher position. It’s time to up the ante on your social life. You’ll be asked to organise several outings and activities with friends.

TAURUS: You’ll be very popular this week. Your colleagues will pay more attention to what you have to say and applaud you for your actions. At home, you may need to declutter your home to clear your mind.

GEMINI: You may have to travel for work or to take care of your health or that of a loved one. If you’re engaging in a debate, make sure you have accurate and relevant arguments before defending your point of view.

CANCER: You’ll finally be able to secure your financial future, which will take considerable weight off your shoulders. You could also consider starting a personal project for your retirement years.

LEO: Set a specific objective and put it into practice to be promoted at work. This opportunity will give you a fresh start, and many people will support you in achieving it.

VIRGO: Think before you act. If you’re considering a career change, you’ll find the right direction for your brilliant future. Lean on the people close to you to help you make the right decisions.

LIBRA: After a stressful period, it’s a good idea to rest and recharge your batteries. Participate in calming activities to regain your strength. A family member may need your help during a difficult situation.

SCORPIO: You’ll be able to extend your relationships via social media. You may forge pleasant new friendships in your professional sphere. If you’re single, you may even find love at work.

SAGITTARIUS: Think about going back to school. At work, you’ll have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and make some good business deals. In romance, a short trip could rekindle the flame in your relationship.

CAPRICORN: If you’re in a cross-cultural relationship, be willing to adapt and compromise. Avoid abruptness. Sharing household tasks more equitably will be appreciated.

AQUARIUS: Intense emotions will inspire your creativity and bring out your artistic side. With your skill for detail and elegance, you’ll have the courage to stand out from the crowd.

PISCES: You must negotiate carefully to achieve satisfactory professional results. You have nothing to worry about in your love life. Your significant other might make a proposal.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

TIME WARP Sly-grogs became “hotels” that were the centre of pioneer life Unlike America which was settled by the Puritans, and the Spanish and Portuguese colonies which were often overseen by religious orders, Australia was a convict [M\\TMUMV\ ÅZ[\ _Q\P alcohol – mostly rum – a part of our society from the start. ?PQTM \PM ÅZ[\ TMOIT hotel licences in the new colony weren’t granted until 1796 in Sydney and Parramatta, illicit places to drink booze, and known as “sly-grogs”, were established as soon as the boats hit Australian shores in 1788.

So it went, with alcohol outlets on the trail of the white settlers wherever they went, sometimes with astounding numbers of illegal outlets. Bendigo in Victoria during the gold rush years, for instance, had more sly-grog shops, than citizens. Hill End near Bathurst, had 101 grog shops.

Trying to reduce the social impact of “the

demon drink”, state legislators gradually put the corner sly-grogs out of business, requiring “hotels” to provide, by law, bedrooms for guests, a dining room, a stable, an outside light that burned all night, and lodgings for the owner.

Reasonably respectable establishments like the Australian Hotel, pictured here, which provided not just food and accommodation, but also a refuge from the heat, dust, hard work, and isolation of outback Australia in our early years, then became the centre of social life for pioneers, settlers, farm workers, and travellers looking for a respite from the lonely road.

It’s not a coincidence therefore that, even now, the three most substantial establishments in many old country towns are still the church, the court house, and the local hotel.

God, the law, and liquor, in that order.

The first bridge at Dubbo spanning the Macquarie River was opened amid much fanfare on 24 May, 1866. Called variously the “Oxley Bridge” and the “Albert Bridge”, it became known generally as the “White Bridge”. Photo: Supplied.

“Wallo” recalls golden days of “THE NOBLE ART”

By GEOFF MANN

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

GRAHAM Wallace was introduced to “the noble art” of boxing at the Air Force barracks under the watchful eye of Colin Kirknes, way back in 1967.

After steady progress, he first tasted success at State level four years later, when he claimed the State Novice Championship.

That was the beginning of an outstanding fight career; from 1972–74, he won three NSW Featherweight Titles, although the Australian title proved elusive.

In his journey, Graham defeated both Bill Mulholland and Jim Boyle, both reigning Australian title-holders, in preliminary bouts leading into the selection trials, although lady luck eluded him in his biggest fights.

“I cut my eye a couple of weeks out from the big tournament, and wasn’t training as much because of it,” Graham recalled.

“It cost me. I was stopped in the last round, Billy and Jim went on to take National belts and all the Divisional title-holders went to the Games,” Graham sighed.

The young boxer was later selected to fight for NSW in Noumea, Tahiti, and Fiji; winning a bronze medal at the Oceanic Games in Tahiti.

He also took the Golden Gloves in a tournament at Blacktown.

In 1974, he was within one win of making the Commonwealth Games team, but an unexpected loss in the final meant he was not

able to board the jet with his lifelong mate, Tom “Bomber” Carney.

Perhaps “Wallo’s” proudest moment, came in 1973 in Orange.

Graham was awarded the coveted John Dynon Award as the most outstanding NSW Boxer.

This capped-off a magical few days when he won the Champion of Champions’ Belt. He was the first in the State to win both Awards in the same year, an achievement of which he is incredibly proud.

The proud father and grandfather, has never forgotten the support he had along his journey.

“Blokes like Colin Kirkness and Bucky Tink were wonderful coaches and the police and others at the (then) Police Boys Club – now Police Youth Citizens Club – who encouraged us and took a real interest in our lives in and out of the ring.

“Those people, helped to mould our character, and I am now coaching and mentoring other young athletes so they can achieve their personal goals, in sport, particularly boxing, but also in their careers,” he smiled.

In the tough Australia of the times, he explained, being a blew to defend yourself, was a great skill to have.

“Bullying at school was my motivation.

“I was only a little bloke, so I had to learn to stick-up for myself,” Graham remembers.

He recalled the great Australian fighters of his time, Lionel Rose, Rocky Gatellari, and Johnny Famechon, as the big names he was starting out, with boxing a regular television spectacle: “I didn’t get to see them box in person; but we all watched their fights on TV.” And the best he has seen?

“Bomber Carney without a doubt; at the time he was selected for Australia, he was in a very strong division in amateur boxing.

“His was a much stronger one than what I was drawn to fight in, and he beat them all to earn his

green and gold shorts and singlet.”

Brian Tink was another who developed a fine record over the years, he said.

“He is still the only local bloke to be selected for the Olympics, while he was still competing in his home town!”

Graham says boxing taught him discipline.

“We never had to be told to concentrate; we went to training and were just so focussed.

“Sometimes, I think the young ones today get very distracted by computers and things; they take the easy options and don’t like people to instruct them,” he said.

Graham recalls the time when boxing was a dominant Australian sport in the 1960s and 1970s, he was learning the game.

“We used to have plenty of tournaments; we travelled all over the western area and down to Sydney and enjoyed the contests.

“We’d go to Narromine, Warren, Gilgandra, Wellington, Mudgee, Lithgow, Orange, Bathurst, Parkes, and Forbes, to test ourselves.”

Graham regrets the decision made at Government level to put the age limit up to a minimum of 14 years for young boxers.

“I probably started learning the

ropes when I was six or seven, and those early years were where I learned what the art of boxing was about.

“We were well protected in our bouts and no-one was seriously hurt, because the coaches looked after our welfare; there were – and still are – a lot more injuries in football and when kids fall from bikes or horses,” he offered.

Graham Wallace is no fan of the splitting of boxing into two leagues. This means the prospects of representing your country are restricted and he sees that as a real disincentive.

Graham loves to remember the days when Dave Cook, John McLean and Eric Chamberlain used to round up him and his mates, pile them onto the bus, and take them off to other clubs.

‘We slept on mats on the floor most of the time, but it was all worth it.

“We became stronger because it wasn’t all done for us; we had to work hard and develop friendships.”

Graham says many of those relationships have lasted the distance; with the life skills he learnt, also serving him well in life’s journey since.

Ducks dive in for “The Donny” cup

By GEOFF MANN THERE was a terrific turnout at the RSL Pool on Sunday for the second, Don Attenborough Memorial Trophy, known affectionately, as “The Donny”.

Six teams of four swam-off for the title, each hoping to be the closest to their nominated time to win the cup.

The Mallard Ducks – Josh Bird, Mark Scullard, Glen Smith, and Jack Allan – took the honours, only 1.6 seconds outside their nominated time; with the Freckled Ducks second at +2.52 seconds.

Life Member of the Ducks – and a long-time friend of the late Don and his wife, Betty – Judy Walsh, said the event was a fitting memorial to Don. “It was lovely to have the Attenborough family in attendance, with Don’s grandson, Vince Williamson, presenting the unique trophy to the winning team,” Judy said.

“Don was such an integral part of the

Ducks; he and Betty hosted many gatherings at their home in West Dubbo, and many of the members had travelled north and west on fishing and camping trips with the legend,” she reminisced.

Sunday was a full program, starting with the 50-metre Freestyle with the ever-consistent resident foxer, Billy Greenwood, taking the points in the final, followed in by John Wherritt, Neil Harris, Nicole Johnstone, and Norm Bahr.

“Ned Sparkes went a little too-fast in the final of the 25-metre Breaststroke, with Roger Mackay happy to step-up to take the win,” Judy said.

“Neil Harris, Nicole Johnstone, and Vince Williamson were all close behind the Dodger,” she added.

After a couple of second placings, Neil Harris was more than happy to take the points in the final of the 50-metre Backstroke.

“Peter Hargreaves set a good pace, but outsmarted himself, allowing Neil to grab the points.

“Josh Bird, Mal Kavanagh, and Judy Walsh, made-up the placings,” Judy concluded.

This Sunday, the Ducks will compete for the Schloeffel Family November Trophy.

Big half-century roll-up at Sporties!

Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’ LAST Sunday was perfect for lawn bowls, with a total of 52 bowlers making the trek out onto the Sporties’ rinks last weekend.

In an early match-up, the Combo team of Frank Armstrong and Graham Ross, struggled to keep Allan Stratford and Pete Sinclair at bay. Despite winning nine ends, seven-all was the nearest they got.

Disaster struck on the final end for Frank and Graham, holding four shots only to be denied by a single bowl knocking them away. It was Frank who did the deed, allowing Allan and Pete to sweep past and claim a famous 1411 victory.

Sue McCauley, Ross Pharo, and Col Cottee put aside an eight count

by Chris Castlehouse, John McKenzie, and Trish Gosper, on end seven to score a remarkable win. Scores of four, three and six, powered them into the lead on the way home for a 23-19 score.

Three counts of four plus a triple, buoyed Sue O’Dea, Eric Satchell, and Pete Ruzans, however Pat Sherwin, Rob Pfeiffer, and Kevin Scott, chal-

FACE

lenged their confidence with many ends going their way. Unfortunately, most were singles, allowing Sue, Eric, and Pete, to “stumble” home 20-15.

Four ends each; eight shots each, meant Paul Martin, Shirley Marchant, and John Cole had a second-half battle against Vicki Hummel, Tod O’Dea, and Col Dover.

They grew this to a three-shot lead after 14, then a surprising five on the next gave them an advantage. Not to be outdone Vicki, Tod, and Col, pocketed four, but had to concede 14-18.

It took some five ends for Sue Armstrong, Ruby Stockings, and Gordon Scott, to post their first score while Ros Joseph, Chris Strojny, and Brian Jones, won six of the first eight racking up 11 shots.

A four count was a good beginning for the second half, but Sue, Ruby, and Gordon, could not add substantially and went down 15-11, 10 ends to six Doc Livingston, Steve Kelly, or Matt Quill, turned on three shots against Helene Emblen, Roger Sherwin, and Tony Coady’s nine. The second half was much closer – eight to Doc and co; five to Helene, Roger, and Tony, who won 16-11.

Much the same happened to Glenis Hanagan, John Kennedy, and Al Andriske, in their showdown with Di Cullen, Pete Bennison, and Bryan O’Sullivan.

They were hamstrung by a big seven on end three. Pete had one of his best games, helping Di and Al to not only achieve an eight-shot advantage after eight, but maintaining and adding a couple on the second stanza. Di, Pete, and Bryan, were awarded third place for the morning for their 18-12 win.

It was unusual to see Di Hildebrant, Mel Giddings, and Mick Strawhan, floundering during their game with Gavin Cullen, Karen Greenhalge, and Phil Knight. The latter blasted 14 shots to four over eight ends. End nine saw a six-count put Gavin, Karen, and Phil in the box seat – big winners 23-14 and second-place for the morning.

Once again, the first half claimed a victim. This time it was Greg and Julie Brown with Daphne Dunbar, who had 12 shots to make even!

Alex Rae, Paul Goodstat, and Ron McCauley, combined well for a Sundy morning to remember, adding nine shots to seven and earning the Best team Award for their 23-13 victory.

PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED

By GEOFF MANN A LETTER received at Dubbo Photo News this week, has highlighted to contribution of one man to his beloved sport. It came addressed to “The Sports Editor, Dubbo Photo News” Dear Geoff Just thought you might be interested to know, Dubbo Golf Club “Honorary Life Member” John Willing, passes 65 years at the Club in October.

John has been in poor health over the past couple of years with two heart operations, but he still enjoys taking his golf cart for a run around the course.

As President from 1990–95; he was very active with the Grangewood Housing Development on behalf of the club, getting it to what it

is today.

John spent a vast amount of his time caching juniors every Sunday morning – sometimes up to 40 or 50 – on his own. He loved every minute of it.

After retiring from the Board of Directors in 1996, he was made an Honorary Life Member of the club, something he is very proud of. Then heart problems started to affect his golf.

As a good mate of John’s, I think his 65 years as a member has never been passed, and I wanted this feat to be acknowledged.

Many thanks NAME SUPPLIED Indeed! Our city is built on people like John Willing, someone who sees a need and gives his all to make sure it is met. John now resides at the Orana Gardens Village.

Our advertisers stay a step above the competition.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Bathurst win last round, Orange, the Central West Cup, at Paramount courts

LEFT: Nicole Morris. ABOVE and RIGHT: Grant Tranter (Orange)

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL FINAL round of the Central West Cup saw Bathurst come-up victors, but Orange take home the main prize on Sunday.

Orange were always the team to beat, coming into the final round in first position and, while Dubbo wasn't ultimately up to the task, Bathurst proved to be, and went on to claim victory in the final round. After a wonderful celebration of the centenary of tennis in Dubbo, the Paramount Tennis Club was the venue for the final round in beautiful playing conditions at the Paramount Tennis Club.

The Central West Cup is an inter-town competition played between Dubbo, Orange and Bathurst, played over six rounds from May to October.

Over four hours of entertaining and keenly contested matches, visitors Orange took the points. Their club had hosted the Tennis Australia Roadshow with Helen Magill from Parkes on Saturday so were extra keen to convert their knowledge and practice onto the court.

While they were good enough to get the victory in the last match, Bathurst fell short on winning the crown, with Orange claiming the Central West Cup in 2023.

Dubbo tried hard and had patches of strong play, however they were slightly off the pace and have some re-grouping to do before next year’s competition.

The Central West Cup, now having completed its third year, was again a great success and equally enjoyed by Dubbo, Orange, and Bathurst.

Dragons’ golden paddle to success at Western Regatta The Mixed 20s team bagged gold at the recent Cudgegong Waters Park Dragon Boat Championships. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By GEOFF MANN DUBBO continued their golden paddle on the water at the Cudgegong Waters Park Dragon Boat Championships last Sunday.

The pristine waters of Windemere Dam were the perfect setting for 15 clubs who competed for honours throughout the day.

The Outback Dragons claimed gold in both the Mixed 20s 200 metre event, and the Iced 20s 500 metre race, while the Men’s 10s claimed silver in their final.

Australian Masters champion, Rhonda Rus-

sell, was again excited to participate in this ever-expanding sport.

“While competition was fierce out on the water, it was one of the most friendly and wellrun regattas we have attended,” Rhonda said.

“Congratulations to the Mudgee Mud Dragons, and the Western Region Committee, for hosting a great day of racing,” she added.

The Dragons continue to paddle on the Macquarie River on Tuesdays and Sundays, and travel across the state for various regattas.

beloved Dubbo High, Macquarie footy coach

By GEOFF MANN GREAT teachers, can help shape our and attitudes to both sport and life, like few others.

PHOTO: Students SUPPLIED from the 1960s and early 1970s, will be sorry to hear that former science teacher and football coach, Max Griffin has died.

Max was a wonderful teacher and football coach, but was unable to be at the Astley Cup 100th year reunion in July.

His passing was noted on the Bindyi Club’s Facebook for ex-students and teachers of Dubbo High where it was noted that Max also coached the Macquarie Club’s junior rugby league team in the 1960s.

Probably Max’s most memorable rugby league coaching achievement in Dubbo was when his team, the Dubbo High School’s Open Rugby League Team, defeated a very strong Orange High School rugby league team in the 1969 Astley Cup. By winning this game Dubbo High eked-out enough points to win the 1969 Astley Cup for the first time in nearly a decade.

The school’s previous winning of the Astley Cup, was way back in 1961.

So proud of he was in his time at the school, that he would have attended the Astley Cup Centenary events in Dubbo this year, if not for poor health.

Tributes to his love of footy and all-round good nature, were left on the the Bindyi Club’s Facebook, including this poignant memory.

“I was never fortunate enough to be in a science class taught by Max. I was, however, coached by Max in the Open Rugby League team and also Macquarie Rugby League team.

He was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic coach.

Condolences to Max’s family.”
