Jets minor premiers in Castlereagh League By SHARON BONTHUYS THE all-conquering Narromine Jets are in a commanding position as minor premiers as they head into the fi nals in the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League. The Jets haven’t had a minor premiership since 1995 so it’s been a long time between drinks for the on-fi re club. Can they take it one step further? The semi-fi nal action begins on September 3 at Cale Oval. See Bryson Luff ’s wrap up of the Jets’ game against Cobar which made the team minor premiers (see Page 22), and Sally Everett tells us a bit more about events at the club (Page 9).

DECADES of hard work and innovation have been recognised as Quigley Farms received the 2021 Bayer Cotton Grower of the Year Award at the Australian Cotton Conference Dinner on August 18 at the Gold Coast. Tony and Sally Quigley and their sons Richard, Tom and George proudly accepted the award at the dinner which was attended by 1200 of their peers. “We were both excited and humbled to accept the award, something I would never have even dreamt of when we planted our fi rst cotton crop way back in 1984,” Tony said. Describing Quigley Farms as a community leader in water efficiency measures, a spokesperson for award sponsor, Bayer, said the award was well deserved. “The Quigleys have demonstrated fantastic farm management and innovation, not only advancing environmental outcomes in water use efficiency and soil health, but improving business profitability,” the spokesperson said. “They have rebuilt 108km of delivery channel with synthetic lining, new remote-control gates, metering systems and a separate stock and domestic water pipeline as well

tralian grower innovation since 1925, driven by delivering better solutions for growers, the spokesperson said. The conference provided the ﬁ rst opportunity in four years for many growers and industry ﬁgures to come together to see the latest tech-

nology, discover the results of ground-breaking research, and understand the innovation that will drive the natural ﬁbre to new levels in Australia and worldwide, said a spokesperson for Cotton Australia. Continued page 2

Quigley Farms receives cotton grower award at conference From page 1 The 2021 Cotton Grower of the Year award strengthens Quigley Farms’ position as a leader in the Australian cotton industry. “The award has certainly given Quigley Farms and us personally a higher level of recognition within the cotton industry, which is always good with suppliers and business partners such as banks,” Tony said. The award is a highlight in a year that has challenged the wider agricul-

tural sector across NSW, with weather having a signiﬁcant impact on the industry. “[This year] certainly has been a challenging year, the cooler summer causing the cotton crop to ﬁnish later than desirable, followed by 80mm rain on the second day of picking,” Tony said. “Notwithstanding, we were able to get all our cotton harvested by the end of June. We had all our canola planted before that late April rain and were able

to get nearly all our wheat in on time as well, with only wheat planted behind cotton being later than desirable. “Once again this year these winter crops across the district look good, where they are not too wet, and have the potential of high yields come harvest time. “The challenge now is to fertilise the fallow cotton ﬁelds and prepare from scratch those ﬁelds returning to second year cotton in these wet soil conditions

to be ready to plant the next cotton crop in early October. “In the longer run, we are looking to convert some more dryland cropping areas into irrigated ﬁelds to have more fallow land available to utilise these higher allocation years better when they occur periodically,” Tony said. The Narromine Star congratulates the Quigley family and the Quigley Farms team on their well deserved award.

Local churches benefit from ministers’ visits

By SHARON BONTHUYS

TWO Narromine churches without full-time clergy have beneﬁted from extended visits by ministers in recent weeks. St Andrews Uniting Church welcomed Alan and Lauris Harper for an extended ﬁveweek visit during July/August. St Mary’s Anglican Church welcomed Kevin and Sandy Simington for a three-week visit in August. On their seventh visit, Alan and Lauris have had a long association with Narromine. “We have many friends here and enjoy the Narromine community very much,” Alan told the Narromine Star. He conducted worship at weekly services during their stay while Lauris, a chaplain, assisted. “Not only are we welcomed and trusted by the congregation, but so many of its members entrust us with their stories and their struggles. That is an honour and a privilege. We are also welcomed into the Dandaloo community,” he said. Unfortunately, a second planned trip to conduct worship at the Dandaloo church on August 7 was scrapped, another victim of bad weather impacting local roads. “We have visited every member of the congregation while here and each of those visits is special for a variety of reasons,” said Lauris. “Sometimes it is just a catch up, other times to offer help and support, especially for those who have been unwell. Lending a listening ear

PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. to those who are facing difficult circumstances is very important.” The couple also welcomed the opportunity to conduct services at Timbrebongie House for the benefit of elderly residents unable to otherwise attend church services. “Conducting services at Timbrebongie is very special because the residents are unable to attend a Sunday service and it also gives them another voice to hear and face to see,” Lauris said. Alan was also in high praise of the Narromine Men’s Shed and enjoyed dropping in for a cuppa and a chat during his stay. “I have a great respect for the Men’s Shed and those who give so much to make it all happen, to the benefit of many men in the community.” Kevin Simington is an ordained Anglican minister and is the ministry consultant for the Bathurst Diocese of the Anglican Church, a role that sees him travel throughout the

diocese, visiting churches and providing guidance for those in leadership. During his time at St Mary’s, he preached at their church services, led Bible study and conducted several outreach events at the church. Kevin was philosophical about the current situation facing churches of all denominations which are ﬁnding less people in their congregations and less people to serve as ministers. “There are about 16 churches without permanent congregations in the diocese. It is a concern,” he said. With a similar situation in the Uniting Church, Alan agreed that churches today face many challenges in providing services to local communities. “More and more congregations, not only in the country, are unable to afford paid ministry, and there is a challenge for the members of those congregations to ensure they can keep going, serving the com-

munity and living the gospel within it,” he said. “Narromine is a great example, and we often quote it to others just beginning this journey. So many of the members have stepped up to take on the variety of tasks that must be done, working in teams to facilitate worship services, and undertaking community work.” Without a regular minister onsite, the Uniting Church provides the Saltbush program which St Andrews uses regularly as part of its worship at Narromine. Like St Andrews, St Mary’s relies heavily on senior church members to provide lay preaching to its congregation. Falling congregational numbers are also of concern across faiths both Kevin and Alan agreed. “Young people are not drawn to traditional churches [today],” Kevin said, referencing the attraction of high proﬁ le churches like Hillsong that approach the gospel in contem-

porary ways. He said it was an ongoing challenge for the Bathurst diocese to think of new ways to communicate the gospel to a younger audience. This was echoed by Alan, who said, “We need to understand how younger people would like to worship and be open to changing, even if it makes us uncomfortable.” About 70 people attended Kevin’s talk on “evidence for belief” at St Mary’s on August 16. People travelled from Trangie, Tottenham and Dubbo to hear the author of several religious books and sci-fi novels speak at the evening event. “I aim to challenge skeptics and unbelievers by presenting solid evidence about the existence of God,” he said of his talk. Upon returning home earlier this month, Alan and Lauris have continued running the Tuesday lunchtime service at their home church, St Stephen’s in Macquarie Street, Sydney. Lauris also aimed to return to her hospital chaplaincy, and with rain and flooding still occuring around the state, her disaster relief chaplaincy work may also draw her away. Kevin and Sandy headed back to the diocese last week and will eventually find their way to the Top End, Northern Territory, where Kevin will speak at a conference for clergy at Humpty Doo, south of Darwin. It’s possible both couples may return to the region in the future to continue their outreach services.

Rural crime prevention gets a boost RURAL crime prevention in the Orana Midwestern Police District will get a boost with a new Rural Crime Investigator to join the team at Mudgee. Part of the largest increase in police numbers in more than 30 years, the new position creates a unit of two specialist investigators in Mudgee who will join the existing two specialist investigators already based in Dubbo. “Our farmers have been through enough in recent years without having low-life crim-

inals trespassing and stealing or destroying the fruits of their labour,” said Member for the Dubbo Electorate, Dugald Saunders. “Rural crime doesn’t only hurt our farmers, it impacts entire regional communities, and the conﬁdence in the sector that puts the clothes on our backs and the food in our bellies. “I’m very pleased to see Orana Mid-Western Police District’s specialist Rural Crime Investigation team bolstered, and I’m encouraging all our

primary producers to help us crack down on these criminal behaviours.” Deputy Premier and Minister for Police Paul Toole said the positions deliver on the NSW Government’s $583 million commitment to community safety through the roll-out of 1,500 extra police positions over four years. “Rural crime specialist investigators focus on a range of crime, whether it’s theft of stock, grain or wool, rural arson and fraud, ﬁ rearm offences,

cruelty to animals or trespassing,” Mr Toole said. “These crimes affect farmers, their families and entire livelihoods, so it’s critical we have the support and resources needed to ensure regional communities continue to thrive. “These investigators have lived and worked on the land, and continue to play a critical role in building positive relationships between police and the farming community, as well as supporting victims of crime.”

‘Paca party for rescued alpacas By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST weekend over 200 people visited the Quentin Park Alpacas and Studio Gallery at Tomingley for a “‘Paca Party”. The annual event celebrates the unknown birthdays of the more than 60 alpacas that have been rescued by the Dennis family’s award winning agritourism business. “All our alpacas born here have their birthdates registered but we don’t know the birthdates of most of those we rescue,” explained Emma Dennis, 16, daughter of Quentin Park owners Amee and Shaun Dennis. “This weekend we celebrate the unknown birthdays of all our rescued alpacas.” With over 130 alpacas now at Quentin Park, 46 per cent have been acquired through rescue or rehoming, often from difficult circumstances. The family have even traveled to Victoria to rescue alpacas from a deceased estate, Emma said. “The stock agent knew what to do with the sheep and cattle but had no idea about the alpacas,” she said. The Narromine Star got to meet one of the recently rescued alpacas. Timon, a young male, age unknown, came to Quentin Park in recent months from poor circumstances. “[A relative] thought it would be funny to put two young male alpacas in the family paddock,” said Emma, indicating

Sarah Wannell and son Eddie feed the female alpacas. the elderly landowners could not properly care for them. Sadly, Timon’s companion did not make it. Although he is safe and well cared for now, Timon still shows signs of his early life experiences. He has never been shorn in his life and is carrying an estimated eight kilograms of extra wool, Emma said. He had also not been vaccinated or had his toenails clipped before arriving at Quentin Park, essential for the wellbeing of alpacas. “Alpacas need to be shorn every year. Timon’s wool is matted all the way down to the skin,” Emma said. To deal with the problem of the matted wool, Timon will get the equiv-

alent of a buzz cut when he is ﬁnally shorn. Because that will leave him initially with much less body cover, the Dennis family have elected not to shear Timon until the weather is warmer. “He has settled in and is surrounded by the boys,” Emma said. He missed his companion a lot at ﬁ rst, but is now housed with the “teenage boys” at Quentin Park and faring well in new company. “People don’t know that alpacas can get depressed and die of loneliness. They’re herd animals so if you want to keep them as pets you really need to have two or three and a fair bit of space,” Emma said. The team at Quentin Park

were thrilled to learn a new baby alpaca arrived during the birthday weekend, born on August 20. As well as celebrating the new birth, the birthday celebrations included activities for children, a jumping castle and lots of yummy food. The team were kept busy with over 100 people on site each day. New to Dubbo, Brett and Maria Foy enjoyed their ﬁ rst visit to Quentin Park on the birthday weekend and their ﬁrst encounter with the camelid mammals. “We think it’s great here and we’re hoping to see the babies. One was born this morning, we heard,” Maria said. Jessica and Mitch Turner travelled from Geurie with son Oscar, 2 ½, for the event.

“We’ve been here before for a picnic and wanted to come back. It’s a great place for the kids,” Jessica said. One-year-old Eddie Wannell was busy feeding “numnums” to the female alpacas with mum Sarah. They had travelled from Dubbo and were also enjoying their ﬁrst visit to the farm. With the birthday weekend out of the way, the team is turning its attention to other events coming up including a scarecrow exhibition next month, a bush poetry weekend and the big two-day Harvest Festival in December. We look forward to checking back in on Timon later in the year and seeing his progress as he continues to settle in at his new loving home.

Free biodiversity and regeneration field day next month

By SHARON BONTHUYS

IF you’ve ever wanted to learn more about biodiversity, regeneration and creating habitat for wildlife, a special ﬁeld day will be held in Narromine next month. Hosted by Narromine Landcare and supported by the Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) and Landcare NSW, the free event will provide practical demonstrations on these subjects and others at neighbouring properties Merebone and Warrina. Topics covered on the day will include: Revegetation to create shelter, shade or even a whole ecosystem from scratch. Building landscape resilience: improving the moisture and nutrient cycle on your patch. Habitat stepping stones: helping wildlife to move into your revegetation area. Bringing the birds back: help manage insects by inviting woodland birds back to your landscape. Getting climate ready:

using tough and resilient native plants. Low disturbance planting and weed control demonstrations. The two local properties have a growing reputation in landcare, biodiversity, habitat creation for wildlife and conservation, and hosted a visit by the Australian Plants Society (NSW) earlier this year. Local Landcare Coordinator Craig Bennett will be on hand at the ﬁeld day to talk about private land conservation and the work of both organisations. The event is part of the Partnering in Private Land Conservation Project, where Landcare NSW and BCT work with regional landcare networks to raise awareness of and support for private land conservation efforts across the state. Morning tea and lunch will be provided so please RSVP if you would like to attend. Further information and directions can be found in the advertisement below.

Council announces Narromine industrial precinct NARROMINE Shire Council will commence planning for the development of stage one of the Narromine industrial precinct in the coming weeks. “The NSW Government has contributed $9 million to facilitate the Narromine industrial precinct. We will seek to establish the precinct alongside the new Inland Rail, allowing for the ease of road and rail connections from the industrial site,” said Narromine Shire Council’s Mayor, Cr Craig Davies. “Council has worked very closely with the NSW Government to maximise opportunities with the construction of the Inland Rail network, particularly given our strategic location and the size of our existing agricultural and transport industries,” he said. The precinct is to be developed in stages and is set to unlock and transform opportunities for existing business and industry and attract new ones to the Narromine region. The Narromine industrial precinct is planned for the area bound by Narwonah Siding Road and Craigie Lea Lane, 6kms southwest of Narromine along the McGrane Way. An extensive planning process will now commence, and formal public comment will be sought as the planning progresses.

A day to remember: Jets are minor premiers! Contributed by SALLY EVERETT, NARROMINE JETS SATURDAY, August 20, 2022 is a day that will be remembered within the Jets for many years to come. Our annual sponsors and charity round was held where we pay homage to the wonderful sponsors of our club, without whom we can’t do without, and we raise funds for three local charities. We were also honoured to have NSW Rugby League CEO, David Trodden, join us for our special day. Clinton Toopi from the NRL also joined us to present the Jets with a plaque for their protectiveness and the contribution to normalising the conversation around mental health. We are the fi rst of 20 NSW clubs to receive this recognition. Clinton also played in our reserve grade side, playing the first half for the Jets and the second half for Gulgong. Both teams enjoyed having Clinton on their side and the opportunity to play with a NRL legend. The fi nal score being 16 all! League tag and fi rst grade both played in specially designed charity round jerseys which depicted the colours of the charities being supported: Tradies In Sight, Narromine Rescue Squad and the Narromine Cancer Support Group. The girls came away convincing winners over Cobar Roosters, 48-10. The fi rst grade game between Jets and Cobar was the top of the table clash with both teams keen to secure the minor premiership. In what was a nerve-wracking and very entertaining game, Jets took the win and the minor premiership. The Jets have not had a minor premiership since 1995! After the games our jerseys were auctioned and we were very proud to donate $3773 each to the three charities. League tag and fi rst grade have a bye next week, and reserve grade will travel to Binnaway for their game. After a long hiatus from fi nals football, there is a lot of excitement within the club!

First Grade – minor premiers.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Clarifying Marrabinya concerns A peaceful protest took place outside my Dubbo office last Friday, in response to changes to the Integrated Team Care (ITC) Program, which is currently being delivered by Maari Ma Health Aboriginal Corporation under the Marrabinya name. The ITC program supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with chronic conditions to access the health care they need. It is funded by the Australian Government, through the Primary Health Network. In the western region, the ITC Program is managed by the Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN). I am sympathetic to the concerns held by members of the Aboriginal community in relation to the continuation of this program, however, there is a narrative being widely circulated that is, to my understanding, not correct. It is important to clarify what the proposed changes actually are. I have been reassured by the WNSW PHN that the ITC Program will be continuing under a revised model which involves a change in providers. Instead of being delivered solely through Maari Ma under the Marrabinya name, the program will be delivered by

The new funding package includes $3.5 million to drive

local Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS) and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHO). Contracts have already been awarded to local AMS and ACCHOs, including Maari Ma Health Aboriginal Corporation, as well as Bourke Aboriginal Corporation, Walgett Aboriginal Corporation Health Service, Condobolin Aboriginal Health Service Incorporated, and Coonamble Aboriginal Health Service Limited in the Parkes electorate. This will provide a more localised approach, ensuring the service can be tailored to speciﬁc community and individual requirements. Importantly, the program will continue to be delivered by Aboriginal people for Aboriginal people. It is very unfortunate that our most vulnerable people have been unnecessarily upset by misleading public discourse. There has never been any intention to cancel or defund the ITC Program.

Meeting with new Water Minister LATE last week I had the opportunity to meet with Minister for the Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek to discuss various water issues, including the Better Baaka program. It was a productive meeting and I look forward to working with the Minister to ensure the Better Baaka program can achieve the best outcomes for the community and the environment.

The NSW Government’s biggest increase in police numbers in more than 30 years has delivered an additional ten Rural Crime Investigators to help the Force stay ahead of the game and disrupt criminal activity before it occurs. We have more than doubled our Rural Crime Prevention Team over the past ﬁve years and now have 63 specialist investigators stationed across all corners of the State. While rural crimes like stock theft may not dominate the headlines, they are a huge kick in the guts to our hardworking farmers and their families with the potential to cripple entire livelihoods.

Commemorating Vietnam Veterans’ Day LAST week we commemorated Vietnam Veterans’ Day, on the 56th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. The Vietnam War was one of the bloodiest struggles of the 20th century, and an event which generated controversy and public protest on a previously unseen scale. Amidst the politics, the calamity, and the increasing public antipathy, there were Australians in uniform, serving their country, ﬁghting to halt the march

of communism. Our Australian soldiers fought diligently and with distinction, and yet many did not receive the homecoming they deserved. That is why Vietnam Veterans’ Day is so important. It’s a day to honour the 521 Australians who lost their lives and the more than 3,000 who were wounded in Vietnam. And it’s an opportunity to acknowledge the almost 60,000 Australians who served, especially those still with us who continue to carry the emotional and physical scars of this conﬂ ict. Thank you to all the Vietnam veterans in the Parkes electorate. Lest we forget.

NARROMINE is one of three communities that feature in a new creative project celebrating the Wambuul/Macquarie River. Sonic Territories: Wambbul celebrates the river between Wellington, Dubbo and Narromine and is a multi-staged project that creatively reimagines the river’s future. Led by Dubbo-based digital media artist Kim V. Goldsmith, the project combines storytelling, community events, and creativity. Regional artists Milena Sallustio, Robert Salt and Suzanne Foran are also contributing. “This project aims to capture those things we may have forgotten, not celebrated, or ignored about the Wambuul/Macquarie River. There are so many great stories out there, including some about a bunyip!” The Narromine Star asked Kim Goldsmith about how our community came to be featured in this project. “The Narromine community was invited to participate by sharing their stories of the Wambuul/Macquarie River. These stories will be collected between now and the end of November as audio stories, in writing, and through photographs, old and new, with captions,” she said. Ms Goldsmith has collected sounds of the river from Burrendong Dam to Narromine over the past few months and will mix them with some of the stories gathered into a soundtrack. This will be played to the public in celebration of World Rivers Day on September 25. Later this month, the artists will come together for half a day on the river to share their ideas for creating river-inspired artworks. Another event, the Wambuul Soundwalk, involves a 1.5-hour soundwalk along the river that considers the things we often don’t take the time to listen to or can’t hear with the naked ear, Ms Goldsmith said. “There is great beneﬁt in reconnecting our communities with the riverine environment beyond what we’re already doing. “This includes paying tribute to the river’s signiﬁcance to the Wiradjuri people of the past, present and future, and building connections not only with the river but between all who feel her presence in our landscape and lives,” she said. There is still time if locals would like to share their stories of the river, which will be collected as audio stories, photographs or written stories, curated and placed on the project website for the public to access and share.

Get in quick: Grants support volunteers By SHARON BONTHUYS VOLUNTEERS are the backbone of many community and sporting groups in the Narromine shire. Federal Member for the Parkes electorate, Mark Coulton, is encouraging eligible not-for-proﬁt groups to apply for grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 to support the activities of volunteers. The grants can be used to purchase equipment, and or support volunteers through training and transport costs or fuel reimbursement. The grants recognise the valuable work achieved through the hard work of volunteers. Narromine Star The asked local groups how these grants could support their activities. Terrie Milgate from Trangie, who is involved with multiple community groups, said those she is involved with had successfully obtained this funding before. “We have been able to obtain gardening equipment to assist the volunteers at the Wungunja Cultural Centre

and also office equipment for the centre,” she said, indicating she would apply again on behalf of three Trangie organisations. Jan Colmer from Narromine Rotary Club said a grant would help Rotary with fuel, registration and insurance for their mobile food van, truck and trailer. These vehicles are used for providing food at community events and transporting recyclables. “Narromine Rotary’s main source of income, which we then put back into the community, is our Rotary Food Van. We also collect cans and bottles and this requires the use of a volunteer’s car and the Rotary trailer,” Jan said. “Getting the van to the different venues involves towing the van using our Rotary truck. Each of these need to be fuelled, registered and insured.” Jan said that Rotary also works in partnership with the Narromine Shire Council in the development of the Narromine Wetlands. “One of our volunteer tasks is to maintain the pic-

nic areas and around the toilet area. Our current mower is currently not in good repair so a new mower is deﬁ nitely on our wishlist,” she said. Terrie Milgate stressed that the training of volunteers is also important. “It is hard to get volunteers and this is partly due to people thinking they are not able to do the work due to inexperience, lack of skills or worried they will not be able to use the equipment,” she said. “The Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council would like to change this by providing the necessary training in the operation of the [Wungunja Cultural] Centre as we rely on our volunteers to keep the centre open on weekends. “The service provided at the Wungunja Cultural Centre is invaluable for travellers as a rest area, Driver Reviver stop and Information Centre.” For further information see the advertisement on this page or contact the Parkes electorate office.

The Covenant Quartet performed at PraiseFest on August 20. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. By SHARON BONTHUYS LOCAL residents enjoyed a musical concert hosted by the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church in Narromine on August 20. PraiseFest featured the beautiful harmonies of the Covenant Quartet, comprised of Rick, Peter, Kevin and John, who sang a range of uplifting songs with music and in a cappella (without music). Existing in different it-

erations for 11 years, as a trio and a quartet at different times, members Peter and John have connections with Narromine. Peter is related to locals Ian and Muriel Kent, and John has previously worshipped in Narromine and is known to local “Parramatta fans”, he said. The popular SDA choir also performed several songs at the concert, and visitors from an SDA church in Sydney sang

a capella in Swahili and English. The concert was well received by the audience, who gathered afterwards for refreshments in the SDA hall. “Singing is the only career that we’re going to transfer to heaven [when we pass away],” the Swahili group spokesperson said, encouraging people to take up the activity for health, wellbeing and spiritual growth.

Where sub-branches are no longer active, support networks for ex-military personnel may no longer exist or be severely depleted. “We’re happy to have sub-branch meetings in Trangie or Warren or other places so locals can stay in touch with each other and the organisation,” she said. Anyone interested in contacting the Narromine RSL sub-branch can do so by calling the United Services Memorial Club in Narromine.

Australian War Memorial recognises Indigenous Vietnam veterans

The AWM is working on a project to identify the extent, contribution and service of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Vietnam conflict. PHOTO: AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL.

NEW research from the Australian War Memorial (AWM) has identified more than 250 Indigenous men and women who served for Australia during the Vietnam War. Researchers say it is important to recognise their sacrifice and service now, especially as Indigenous people faced major barriers to joining the Australian Defence Forces during the time. “Aboriginal men were exempt from conscription, which was one form of recruitment of the day,” lead researcher, AWM Indigenous Liaison Officer, Michael Bell, said. “You’d be told that you’re not eligible because you’re Aboriginal. There are stories of people who got rejected, walked out the side door and they’d go back in the front door and volunteer to enlist.” AWM director, Matt Anderson, said: “This research helps our understanding and knowledge of Indigenous service in Vietnam. “It is part of our ongoing program at the Memorial that deals with identifying and recognising the service and sacrifice of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service people.”

Mr Bell’s research included a 1971 recruitment advertisement that lists Aboriginals as “exempt”. “Aboriginality was seen as a reason not to serve, but many still did. This reﬂects the willingness of our men and women to serve,” Mr Bell said. “It was a signiﬁcant transition period for our people and their role in the defence forces. “We now have a great opportunity to meet with many surviving veterans and to speak to them directly and have their stories recorded. “We can ask veterans why they volunteered to enlist, we can gather stories on the racial tensions at the time and the equality or inequality they may have experienced.” The AWM is continuing its work to identify and research the extent of the contribution and service of people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent. “Gathering this list takes many hours of research and we expect to get to 500 names. We want more people to come forward and share their stories,” Mr Bell said.

Commemoration of sons of Narromine lost in Vietnam at the memorial wall in Tom Perry Park. By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine sub-branch of the Returned and Services League (RSL) laid a wreath at the cenotaph on August 18, which is Vietnam Veterans Day. Narromine RSL sub-branch president David Taylor led the short service at 11am while Secretary/Treasurer Dianne Beaumont assisted with ﬂag duties. A small group of returned service personnel gathered to remember all those involved with the Vietnam War at home and abroad, including those who trained for but may never have served overseas, those who served, and of course, those who lost their lives in the Vietnam conﬂ ict. Those gathered paid their respects on the 56th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan where the 6 RAR D Company encountered an enemy force composed of at least 1,000 combatants. Outnumbered by at least

ten to one, 18 Australians and New Zealanders died and 24 were wounded in the fierce battle. After welcoming those present, David Taylor and Dianne Beaumont laid a wreath at the cenotaph on behalf of the Narromine sub-branch and those gathered. “This day is significant for those who served and came home to no official recognition,” David said. “In World War I and II and even Korea, when servicemen came home from the confl ict, they were on a ship for days, even weeks. They had plenty of time to talk to each other about what to expect [on their arrival home] and what they might do, to debrief a bit and express their feelings where they could. “With Vietnam, they all came home in an aeroplane. They were in Vietnam and on the battlefield one day, virtually the next day in civvy [civilian] life. There was no time to process what was happen-

ing and [they] just had to get on with it. “In recognition of our returned servicemen from Vietnam, this is what today is about,” he said. Bugler Steve Cummins followed the address by playing the Last Post and a minute’s silence was then observed. David then delivered an excerpt from Laurence Binyon’s poem “For the Fallen.” Des Lincoln, 85, was one of three local returned servicemen who attended the event. A member of the Narromine RSL sub-branch since 1956 when he ﬁ rst entered national service, Des spent six years in the army in between the Korea and Vietnam conﬂ icts. “Six years and 204 days,” he added, saying it was important to remember those who served their country, regardless of the event or in what capacity. Clark Bell, 75, saw active service in Nui Dat and later in Phuoc Tuy province in Vietnam. He said he remembers

David Taylor and Dianne Beaumont. both good and bad experiences during the Vietnam War. He attends veterans’ events to remember and honour those with whom he served. Ron Hagstrom, 70, obeyed the call to serve when it came and completed his compulsory military training with the Army at Kapooka. Assigned to the 9th Platoon, Ron never saw active service, however, as Prime Minister Gough Whitlam ended Australia’s involvement in the war after taking office in January 1973. For many years, Ron refused to acknowledge his service because he never saw active duty. His brother George served three tours with the Royal Australian Navy in Vietnam and refused to accept his medals due to the way he and other returning service personnel were treated on their return by the Australian people. Ron now acknowledges his time in the military and is pleased to have met other Vietnam Veterans through the

work of the RSL. “There is a lot of politics behind [the Vietnam conﬂ ict],” David Taylor told the Narromine Star. “Servicemen did what they were told to do, and were treated terribly on their return.” The Narromine RSL subbranch president hopes that one day the full extent of the damaging impact of the political fallout from the Vietnam War will be appropriately recognised. Lest we forget.

Correction & Apology

THE Narromine Star incorrectly referred to August 18 as “Vietnam Day” in our item in last week’s issue, when it is “Vietnam Veterans Day”. We apologise for this oversight and any offence it may have caused. The next commemoration scheduled for the cenotaph will be on Remembrance Day, November 11, 2022, at 11 am.

Classroom News National Science Week: Kids get into STEM at the library By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine libraries celebrated National Science Week with “STEM Stations” activity sessions and a “scinema” screening. National Science Week (August 13-21) celebrates the broad grouping of science, technology, engineering and mathematics academic disciplines known internationally as STEM. STEM is a key area within the school curriculum and our local libraries jumped on board to celebrate National Science Week with after-school learning opportunities. Archie and Spencer Craft enjoyed checking out one of the Narromine library’s new Spark Discovery Boxes, which are a series of themed science and discovery kits produced by the Children’s

Discovery Museum. Each box focuses on a particular theme, and contains scientific objects and activities that allow families to investigate scientific ideas and the world around them. The library has a number of boxes at MRL for ages 3-5 and 8-12 available for loan or for use in the library, said coordinator Gabby Teale-McEvoy. The Light and Colour box featured in our photos has colour-mixing glasses, bi-concave and bi-convex mirrors and lenses and a bug eye viewer, Gabby said. What an interesting view of the world through those, hey? During the STEM Stations events, participants also explored why soap repels pepper, made a milk rainbow, learned about the non-Newtonian fluid oobleck and inflated balloons with vinegar and bi-carb.

Trangie Central School news Contributed by TRANGIE CENTRAL SCHOOL MIA Gleeson heads to Sydney for the week to participate in one of several workshops with the Bangarra Dance Company as part of their School Spectacular ensemble. With the assistance of Miss Fawcett here at school, Mia had to provide an audition tape, from which she was successfully selected to participate in this program. Through her involvement with Bangarra Dance, Mia will continue to develop her skills in Aboriginal Cultural dance and perform later in the year at the School Spectacular. Year 12 and Ngumbaay classes have their Trial Examinations for Dubbo School of Distance Education and Aurora College which contribute to-

wards a percentage of their HSC results. Good luck to all our senior students! Some of our most enthusiastic Geography students attended the Dubbo Zoo Environmental Education Centre recently for a workshop session investigating the environmental impact of palm oil plantations in Sumatra to further develop their understanding of how forest environments are subject to change around the world. We had a an engaging session with our educator, ﬁ rst learning about some native creatures that have been rescued or rehabilitated at the zoo. We also toured the zoo and learn a bit more about some sustainable practices established at the zoo to limit their footprint on the environment. Recently several of our students travelled over to

Baradine to participate in the Moorambilla Voices camp. This is the ﬁ rst of two camps that the children will participate in, culminating in two Gala Performances at the Dubbo Regional Theatre in September. The students in 2/3C have adjusted well to the routines and expectations set by Mrs Cleary. The students have been enjoying activities such as morning routine, maths bingo, daily ten maths, art, and cardio desk drumming. It’s Book Week and we hope you can stop by for a free sausage sizzle lunch from 1.30pm on Friday, August 26, and you are invited to come along, enjoy a picnic lunch with your children and then watch the parade. Bring a picnic rug and other nibblies. Enjoy some time with your little ones, their friends and the school community.

Narromine preschoolers learn about safe and unsafe fires Contributed by LOUISE SIMPSON, DIRECTOR

ON Friday, August 12, the local volunteers from the Narromine Fire Brigade visited the preschool to talk to the children about fi re safety. We learnt that the phone number to call the fi re brigade is 000. They talked to the children about safe and unsafe fi res. A safe fi re is when there is a responsible adult supervising in a controlled situation such as a BBQ or birthday candles. The fi refighters showed us some fi re safety equipment such as an extinguisher and fi re blankets. They also dressed in their fi re safety suit, including the breathing apparatus and air tank to show us what they might look like in the event of a fi re emergency at home or preschool. Lastly, we went outside to see the fi re truck and the fi re hose as well as hear the siren!

The fire truck was a huge hit with the preschoolers.

Masks at the ready for Book Week By SHARON BONTHUYS IT’S Book Week (August 20-26) and one thing we know about this national celebration of literature is that it’s very popular with the kids! Narromine library held a “razzle dazzle mask making” activity last week to help local kids pre-

pare an accessory for their Book Week costumes. Look at those stunning masks. I want one! This year’s Book Week theme is “dreaming with eyes open”. As Book Week runs over two issues of this newspaper, we look forward to bringing you celebration highlights from across the shire in this edition and the next.

Easier ways for western NSW children to access the NDIS By SHARON BONTHUYS ACCESSING the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will become easier for children with a disability aged seven or older who need support, according to local area provider Social Futures. The community-based organisation delivers the NDIS across western and far western NSW, and will help families make the move into the NDIS as easy as possible. Natalie Tynan, who has 17 years’ experience working with children with disabilities, is the new Early Childhood Transition Manager. She welcomes families and shows them how the NDIS can support their child. “Early intervention and provision of services such as speech and occupational therapy may reduce the ongoing impact of the disability throughout the person’s life,” Natalie said. “The NDIS is there to ensure the child gets what they need so that

they can grow, reach their potential and do amazing things.” Her organisation works with people to identify the NDIS supports they need, Natalie said. Children under seven are ﬁrst delivered services and supports through an NDIS Early Childhood Partner, then, if needed, transition to the NDIS. “Some families have been with an early childhood service provider since their child was born, so moving to the NDIS can feel like a big step. We are here to support them during this time,” Natalie said. “I want to reassure families that we will be working closely with them, to make the transition process as smooth and informed as possible.” Natalie also plans to introduce webinar information sessions soon to provide a forum for parents to have their questions answered and learn more about the NDIS. “A great outcome would be for

families to make some connections with other families in those webinars,” she said. “That social connection is wonderful for families.” Social Futures has offices in several central west communities including Broken Hill, Orange, Dubbo, and Bathurst, where Local Area Coordinators (LACs) are based. LACs are also in Cowra and Parkes. Families can call or visit a local centre and speak with a LAC about their needs. “Our team travels across all western NSW local government areas on a regular basis and our LACs are very experienced in early childhood transition. [They have] expert skills to support families on the journey of moving into the NDIS,” spokesperson Christine Tondorf told the Narromine Star. “Members of the Social Futures LAC team visit the Narromine Shire on a fortnightly basis,” Christine said.

Manga workshop a hit By SHARON BONTHUYS AN eager group of young people gathered earlier this month to learn about the art of manga at the Narromine Library. Some had travelled from Dubbo and Warren to attend the free event on August 13, where local manga artist Zoe Rendall shared tips about creating the popular Japanese comics and cartooning artforms. Alaura, aged nine, and Maddison, 11, were the youngest participants at the workshop. Alau-

ra told the Narromine Star that she had been watching manga TV shows since the age of six and drawing the artforms for about 18 months. Zoie and her sister Laura travelled from Warren as a birthday treat for Laura, who was turning 15. Both are avid readers of the genre. Manga fan Sebastian, 34, demonstrated his advanced artistic skills, telling the Narromine Star that his work was heavily inﬂuenced by The Terminator post-apocalyptic drama.

Sebastian enjoyed the manga workshop on August 13.

Sport LADIES GOLF

Berryman is vets’ comp 18-hole champion Contributed by DALE HARDING LAST Wednesday the weather was good for golf when we played the Veterans championships. The 18-hole champion is Betty Berryman with a nett score of 79. Runner up was Dale Harding with 81 nett and the “super vet” was Wendy Jeffery who scored 83 nett. The B grade nine-hole championships were won by Gail White with 34 nett followed by the runner up Kim Handsaker with 41 nett. The nine-hole C grade champion was Carol McCalman with 44 and nett runner up was Peta Ferrari on 45 nett. The ninehole “super vet” was Carole Paddison on 46 nett. Nearest the pin Betty Berryman, Jenny Fitzgerald and Jenny Ward. On Saturday we played a stroke round for an 18-hole trophy donated by Fran Crawford. The winner was Betty Berryman on 77 nett. The nine-hole ball winner was Gail White on 35 nett. We also ran a nine-hole putting comp for a trophy donated by Soul Food which was won by Michelle Ashdown with 13 putts. Nearest the pin was Betty Berryman and the drawn card was won by Marj Kelly. On Sunday was our open tournament so we hoped for good weather and a lot of players. This Saturday we are playing a single Irish stableford for a trophy donated by Loyalty Roberts.

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH RUGBY LEAGUE ROUND 17

Jets land minor premiership Contributed by BRYSON LUFF IN their maiden year in the Castlereagh League competition, the Narromine Jets have secured the minor premiership with a hard fought and thrilling 26 to 22 victory over the Cobar Roosters at Narromine’s Cale Oval last Saturday. Having a bye in fi rst grade in the fi nal round of the competition this coming weekend means that the Jets cannot have the minor premiership taken away from them and they will be hosting the major semi-fi nal on Saturday, September 3. It was a big day for the Jets with their league tag side also beating the Roosters 48 to 10 whilst a highlight of day was the reserve grade game against the Gulgong Terriers which ended in a 16 all draw, that game featuring an appearance by former NRL star and New Zealand international player Clinton Toopi who played half a game with each side. Toopi was at Narromine to present the Jets with a plaque to recognise their involvement with the NSWRL State of Mind project. The loss by the Roosters was a costly one, particularly in terms of their positioning on the fi rst-grade ladder and they now fi nd themselves sitting third, one point behind both the Jets and the Gilgandra Panthers. Irrespective of what result will be forthcoming from their match against the Coonamble Bears at Cobar in

Narromine and Gulgong reserve grade players with former NRL and New Zealand international Clinton Toopi. PHOTO: SUPPLIED the fi nal round this Saturday, third is where they will stay if Gilgandra can down the Baradine Magpies at Gilgandra on the same day. The Panthers were able to get over the top of the Bears in a scrappy game last Saturday winning the encounter 24 to 12. The League Tag game saw the Pink Panthers edge their way back into the top four with an exciting 17 to 10 win over the Bearettes. However the fi nal four is far from decided with a win by Coonamble over Cobar combined with a loss by Gilgandra against the high flying Baradine Magpies would result in the Bearettes claiming the fi nal semi fi nal berth. The reserve grade competition continues with games at Gilgandra who will be up against the Gulgong Terriers and the Binnaway Bombshells will be hosting the Narromine Jets at The Crater.

Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Round 17 Scores League Tag: Narromine 48 (Emily Edwards 3, Beth Clarke 2, Bradey Leach, Lily Spackman, Jannalie Dwyer, Lucy Dawson, Alexis Everett tries, Spackman 6 goals) defeated Cobar 10 (Brianna Watson, Jezebel Hitchins tries, Watson goal). Gilgandra 17 (Shian Chatfield 2, Mab Fuller tries, Chatfield 2 goals and field goal) defeated Coonamble 10 (Tori Canham, Hannah Towns tries, Canham goal). Baradine 20 (Ashanti Pennell, Zali Hyde, Hayley Andrews, Holly Woodham, Jorja Carey tries) defeated Binnaway 4 (Hailee Watts try). Competition Ladder: Baradine 47 (+256), Dunedoo 43 (+176), Narromine 43 (+130), Gilgandra 41 (+25), Coonamble 39 (+43), Gulgong 35 (+18), Cobar 28 (-282), Binnaway 25 (-306).

GERRIES GOLF

Quiet on the course

A win for Kearines

Contributed by KALE BOCK AND NORM LEWIS DESPITE the improved weather conditions it was a very quiet weekend for golfers at Narromine. No doubt the Jets’ footy match and the Trangie Open golf took away most of our regular golfers. Congratulations to the Jets on winning the match against Cobar to become competition minor premiers. Let’s hope they can take out the big one later in the year. At home a small ﬁeld played in the 18-hole stableford on Saturday. The winner on the day was Steve Gillette with 33 points. Steve has been playing consistently good golf recently. Runner up was Bruce Mitchell with 23 points. There were no winners of the NTP or long drive competitions on Saturday. On Sunday, Craig Duff continued his good form taking the stableford event with 35 points. Runner up was Steve Barlow on 32. Craig Duff took out the NTP on the 9th. It was interesting to read the nearest the pin marker when

it was returned: “player Dad marker Hugo”. Must have a good caddy, “Duffy”. Hope to have some scores from Trangie for next week’s Star. I believe it was a very good ﬁeld. Next weekend the golf will include an 18-hole 4BBB and an18-hole 4Ball aggregate stableford. The junior clinic is still going well with the juniors picking up some handy hints each week.It is on again next Sunday. A number of our players journeyed to Cobar on Friday for the Vets’ Open. Results next week. A reminder to all Veteran golfers: the big event of the year is coming up next month when Narromine hosts the NSW Veteran Golfers Association (VGA) Men’s Four Ball State Sand Greens Championships. Organise a partner and nominate for this event ASAP. There will be a ladies’ event held in conjunction. Well that’s about it for another week. See you all at the 19th.

Last week’s Gerries golf winner, Allan Kearines. PHOTOS: GREG KEARINES. Contributed by NORM LEWIS AT long last the Geriatric Golfers scored a beautiful afternoon for their weekly comp last Wednesday. The golfers appreciated the change in weather conditions and a ﬁeld of 12 hit off, with one hanger-on unable to play due to injury. The event saw victory to the “Senior” Kearines, Alan, who took the major prize with a score of 24 points. A very good score considering the course was rather wet following the recent rain. Well done, Alan. The runner up on the day was Vince Ferrari with another good round of 22 points. Vince also took home the vege

Rugby League Reserve Grade: Narromine 16 (Jordan Fleming, Isaac Thompson, Ryan Richardson tries, Jack Powell 2 goals) drew with Gulgong 16 (Koby Thurston, Anthony Furney, Jordan McGregor tries, Brad James 2 goals). Binnaway 22 (Craig Harris 2, Tyrell Walker, Jay Magann tries, Magann 3 goals) defeated Gilgandra 14 (Adam Hazelton 2, Kaleb Sutherland tries, Shane Ritchie goal). Competition Ladder: Binnaway 6 (+38), Narromine 5 (+2), Gulgong 3 (-30), Gilgandra 2 (-10).

Pool champs for the week, Terry Willis and Chris Harding.

tray he won with ticket number 28. Bruce Mitchell returned a card of 13 points to easily win the NAGA prize. There was no winner of the NTP on the day so the prize starts the new jackpot pool for the event. Attention moved to the pool table where the preliminary match was between Bob “Fletch” Fletcher and Ron “Jacko” Jackson against Greg Kearines and Norm Lewis. It was obvious Jacko had played the game before as he and Fletch went on to win the match convincingly. In winning, they moved on to the ﬁ nal where they met Terry Willis and Chris “Pom” Hard-

ing. It was obvious again that the injury suffered by Pom which caused him to miss his golf was not affecting his pool game. He and Terry were really lucky to win as Fletch missed an easy shot on the black and Harding made no mistake to sink and win the weekly comp, thus claiming the title of pool champs for the week. The comp on Wednesday this week was on the front nine and the results will appear in next week’s issue of Narromine Star, along with a report on the trip to Cobar by members for their Open Tournament. That’s it for another week. See you at the 19th.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES VASTLY experienced jockey Michael Heagney who won the Country Championship Qualiﬁer at Coonamble earlier this year aboard Great Buy for Dubbo trainer Brett Robb, added another feature race when winning the Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Narromine Gold Cup on Dubai Centre.

Narromine Gold Cup runs in Cowra bai Centre made it four wins in succession when taking out the 1700 metres Cup on Sunday at the meeting transferred to Cowra after heavy rain at Narromine. Patiently ridden by Heagney, Dubai Centre was eased back to last in a packed ﬁeld in the run to the 600 metre turn where Supreme Attraction held the lead. When heads turned for home Notabadidea reached the lead from Not Negotiating before Dubai Centre ($2.10 favourite) swept to the front and won by a length from the fast ﬁ nishing ten-year-old A Magic Zariz (Jake Barrett, $6) with Notabadidea (Ken Dunbar, $6.50) one and a half lengths away third. Despite the disappoint-

ment of having three meetings in succession washed out, a good contingent from Narromine Turf Club made the trip to support the Cowra Club and were able to present the Douglas Egan Memorial Trophy for the the 1200 metres to Brett Thompson the Gulgong based trainer of Riders In The Stand. Aggressively ridden by Jake Pracey-Holmes, Riders In The Stand ($6.50) crossed from the outside barrier to take the early lead and held on to beat Money Not My God (Grant Buckley, $3.20 fav.) and Equivada (Ken Dunbar, $12). The race honoured the late Douglas Egan a long time President of the Enngonia and Narromine Clubs.

Lightly raced four-year-old chestnut gelding Chile Chile was cheered home in the 1375 metres Soul Food Depot Maiden Plate by the Narromine visitors, being owned by Greg O’Mally and his mother Maida O’Mally formerly from Bourke and now residents of Narromine. With the talented apprentice Jake Barrett in the saddle for Dubbo trainer Brett Robb, Chile Chile ($17) from well back powered down the outside to win by six lengths from Flying Justice (Ken Dunbar, $2.70 fav.) and Boorowa Girl (Clayton Gallagher, $3.60). Maree Hopkins, a recent addition to the trainers ranks at Cowra, won the 1700 metres Geronimo Class 1 & Maiden

Plate with Prince Of Tokyo expertly ridden by Michael Heagney. With a good staying performance on the heavy track, Prince Of Tokyo ($8.50) from near the tail of the ﬁeld wore down Quest For Honor (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $8) and Tintern Power (Jake Barrett, $5). Leading jockey Clayton Gallagher continued his tremendous recent success with another winning treble, Coopella ($6) and Rubi Air ($1.65 fav.) for Brett Robb and Larynx for Brett Thompson. Opening race, the 950 metres the 950 metres Maiden Handicap saw an all the way win for Overdefence ($5) ridden by apprentice Angela Cooper for Wellington trainer Garry McCarney.

Vets’ golf a success despite rain delay

Contributed by RICK BOHM THE semi-fi nals of the major/minor pairs were held last Saturday. Emerging victorious were the teams of Bill Wilkie and Don Sullivan, and Kevin Rider and James Coen. This sets up nicely the fi nal “stoush” in this event, which will no doubt have all the window tappers in place early on Saturday. Best of luck to both sides and may the luck be shared. Pennants last Sunday saw the lads in the red trousers improve significantly although #1 rink is still experiencing a bit of a teething problem. Last Sunday’s clash at home against Bourke was a great match. It was great to see the Frenchman back and his combination with Johno in the third was a seamless change for this team as they ground out a well-deserved 23/20 win over Glen Knight, arguably Bourke’s top ranked skipper. Robbie and co jumped out of the blocks and never gave their opponents a “sniff ”, running out comfortable winners with 26/06. The new look third rink skipped by Aaron tipped a seven on the fi rst end and they were always chasing, but they did enough to have the master board reflecting a 09/01 win. This week the squad is off to Nyngan to try and square up the ledger, having been defeated by this team in the fi rst round. Team 01: Phil Harding, Adam Jermyn, James Daley, and skip Robbie Stanford. Team 02: Kevin Rider, Steve Buttsworth, Ray Anthony, and skip Robert French. Team 03: Peter Cross, Mark Hilder, Ben Clark, and skip Aaron Hutchison. Social bowls this week saw Noel Delboux, Des Lincoln, and David McNair defeat Mick Edwards and Bob Davis. Just six players went round on Sunday morning, so no prize pool to give away, but those having a hit out certainly enjoyed the late winter weather. Until next time...

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Trangie Open Golf weekend was a spectacular success, welcoming clubs from up to 300 kilometres away as well as hosting the annual visit by the Manly Golf Club, Sydney. Club president Scott MacDougall said the golf course was the best it had ever looked and the club appreciated the support from other clubs in the region including Narromine, Brewarrina and Condobolin. “Wet weather has meant a lot of people are unable to play on their own courses,” said club captain Peter Cruickshank.

A lunchtime sausage sizzle on the Saturday was followed by a ladies and gents’ four-ball competition in the afternoon, sponsored by Lyn and Craig Davies. Some 46 people played in that event. On Sunday, 81 people played in the Trangie Open, said Gary Begg, Jack Newton Regional Manager with Golf NSW. “The winner of the [Trangie Open] was James Taylor from Warren Golf Club, with a great score of two-under par. James was ﬁve-under at one stage but hit a couple over the fence,” Gary told the Narromine Star. Players were spoiled rot-
