Shire children create Moorambilla magic By SHARON BONTHUYS A standing ovation, whoops and cheers greeted the 250 young performers at the end of the ﬁ rst Moorambilla Voices concerts to be held since 2019. Hailing from all over central and western NSW, the young performers shone in the 80-minute performance at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. Twelve of them were from the Narromine Shire, eight from Trangie and four from Narromine. In four choirs, the primary and high school students sang catchy original songs about the central and western NSW river systems. They also performed carefully choreographed dance and movement pieces to original music scores created during the pandemic as part of Riversong 2022. An energetic Japanese-style drumming (Taiko) performance by two groups towards the end of the concert was a particular highlight. The youngest performers in Moorambilla Voices were year three students in a choir called Birralii. They were joined by all-boy and all-girl primary choirs for years four to six, Birray and Mirray, and a mixed high-school choir called Maxed Out. Supported by a small group of operatic singers and an orchestra conducted by Moorambilla founder and artistic director, Michelle Leonard OAM, the choirs just shone on stage. Continued page 4

Narromine NAIDOC: babies and toddlers Welcomed to Country By SHARON BONTHUYS THE fi rst Narromine NAIDOC event for 2022 took place in Narromine on Monday with an official opening and special Ceremony for babies and toddlers under two years of age. A large crowd gathered in Tom Perry Park for the event, including community members and their families, local school children, representatives of the Narromine Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC), local health service, shire council, NAIDOC committee members, community organisations and businesses. The National NAIDOC Week took place in the fi rst week of July, but local NAIDOC events in the Narromine Shire are organised to be held in warmer weather. After the cold and rain just a few days earlier, Monday was fi ne and warm and a beautiful day to gather outdoors. The event was the fi rst Welcome Baby to Country ceremony to be held in Narromine, said NAIDOC committee member, Liz Harris. “Others have done these ceremonies in other places,” Liz said, citing Bourke and Dubbo as two communities where Welcomes for babies and toddlers have been per-

formed before. “These days most babies are born off-Country,” said event MC and NAIDOC committee member Jane Kemp, who is also the 2022 NSW Aborigi-

nal Woman of the Year ﬁ nalist. Many mothers travel away from their Country to give birth due to the lack of birthing facilities in many rural areas.

“This is a Welcome Babies to Wiradjuri Country and Narromine, their home,” she said. Continued page 3

NSW Farmers prepare for dialogue with Inland Rail By SHARON BONTHUYS EARLIER this week, the NSW Farmers Association consulted with landholders at Curban and Narromine about the Narromine-to-Narrabri (N2N) Inland Rail project. The consultation was to seek feedback about the responses made by Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) Inland Rail to the submissions to the N2N environmental impact statement (EIS), with a view to NSW Farmers formally responding to ARTC. Treasurer of the NSW Farmers association and chair of the Narromine-Trangie branch of the association, Peter Wilson, who is also chair of the association’s Inland Rail Taskforce, told the Narromine Star that while the organisation supported the Inland Rail project, it wanted to ensure that the concerns of landholders were appropriately championed. These concerns include impacts to property and livestock, such as being able to move heavy machinery across land where the railway is constructed, and effects on horses and lambing in adjacent paddocks. Access to private property by ARTC contractors is also a major

concern, Mr Wilson said, as is appropriate compensation for identiﬁed concerns that seriously impact landholders. The association would like to see plain English documents addressing rights and obligations of ARTC and landholders, vibration and noise mitigation, engagement processes for discussing land acquisition, infrastructure impacts on farm operations, and what landholders are entitled to in terms of legal and valuation advice funded by ARTC. “We have a meeting lined up with ARTC on September 27 to discuss issues we want resolved at a more formal meeting that will take place in October, that will be presided over by a mediator who has been approved by both parties,” said Mr Wilson. “We’ll be setting out a range of things that we want resolved at the later meeting with the mediator. We want to get agreement on these issues,” he said. Mr Wilson said that 27 members of NSW Farmers attended the consultations at Curban and Narromine. He said the feedback supplied from members would certainly assist the association in its response to ARTC and in preparation for the meetings to come.

Sorry Business: Passing of Aunt Neita Scott NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) and the Land Rights network mourn the passing of prominent Wiradjuri woman, Aunt Neita Scott.

Narromine NAIDOC: babies and toddlers Welcomed to Country

Uncle Peter Peckham, Jane Kemp and Aunty Ruth Carney. From page 1 JANE invited Wiradjuri Elder, Uncle Peter Peckham, who was born in Narromine, to open proceedings. During his Welcome to Country, Uncle Peter explained that the event was being held to enable a large number of young local babies and toddlers under the age of two years to be smoked and anointed with ochre, formally introducing them to their Culture. Uncle Peter then joined Aunty Colleen Smith to raise the Aboriginal and Australian ﬂags to half mast in recognition of the passing of much loved and highly respected Wiradjuri Elder, Aunty Neita Scott. Young dancers from the LALC then performed a Welcome Dance, with group spokesperson Larry Kelly acknowledging the dance creators and teachers, Isaiah Kelly and Mark Smith. “This year we are doing an official Welcome Baby to Country and welcome to the Narromine community,” Jane told those gathered, inviting Aunty Ruth Carney to come forward. Aunty Ruth welcomed everyone and thanked them for coming. “My important part is to Welcome all these wonderful little babies. The community is so fortunate to have this event. “I am very proud to be part of our community that has so many lovely little

babies who will line up and have a little bit of ochre on them and acknowledge our Culture,” Aunty Ruth said. “I am really proud of our community and what the NAIDOC Committee has put together for this day.” The NAIDOC committee includes representatives from Narromine LALC, Social Futures, CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes, NSW Health, National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy, Clontarf Foundation, Mission Australia, Narromine Shire Council, and local schools. Mudyigalang Many Hands Craft Group, Narromine Rotary Club and local businesses also contributed, donating time and other items for the planned events. The committee worked tirelessly for several months planning and coordinating the weeklong schedule of NAIDOC events in Narromine, beginning with this special event for the community’s babies and toddlers. Other events this week include an art exhibition run over two days, an invitation-only lunch for Elders, and a Colour Run for the kids. Aunty Ruth invited Deputy Mayor, Cr Dawn Collins, forward to deliver a Welcome to Community. Cr Collins reﬂected on the theme of NAIDOC Week, Get Up, Stand Up, Show Up, in her speech and encouraged everyone to embody the spirit of these

words in their daily lives. More than 20 babies and toddlers had been registered by their families to participate in the Welcome Baby to Country Ceremony. Jane invited the families to bring their children forward to be smoked and anointed with ochre by Uncle Peter. It was a very special moment witnessing the young ones brought forward for their Welcome to Country Ceremony, beautifully dressed and wearing elements of Culture including intricate woven headbands made specially for the Ceremony. Following the proceedings, Uncle Peter invited those forward who would also like to be smoked, and many took the opportunity to do so, including local school children. All babies and toddlers participating in the Welcome received beautifully decorated gift bags prepared by the NAIDOC committee, containing a range of donated items from local businesses and community groups. After the formalities, families stayed on for a community barbecue cooked by Narromine Rotary Club, the Friends of Rotary and the Clontarf Foundation. Shelly Bayliss, CEO of the Narromine LALC, told the Narromine Star that it was important to celebrate and acknowledge Culture,

and she thought the Welcome Baby to Country was a fantastic opportunity to do this. Shelly also organised the traditional dancers to participate in the Ceremony on behalf of the LALC. The talented teens, all of whom attend Narromine High School, dance regularly at Cultural events and said they enjoyed the experience performing at the special Welcome Baby to Country Ceremony on Monday. Aunty Ruth said introducing Culture at an early age is so important for the future. “We need to be nurturing that Culture at a younger age. [Those babies are] our future and we need to acknowledge that. We also need to be their mentors,” she said.

Double demerits in force over public holiday period DRIVERS are being urged to take extra care on the roads from this Wednesday, with double demerits coming into effect ahead of Thursday’s public holiday, the National Day of Mourning for Her Majesty the Queen and school holidays commencing on Saturday. Double demerits will apply from 12:00am on

Wednesday, September 21, until 11:59pm on Sunday, September 25. Double demerits will be in place for all speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet offences. Transport for NSW Deputy Secretary for Safety, Environment and Regulation Tara McCarthy reminded drivers not to be complacent

throughout the period. “There is likely to be more people out on the roads over the next few days and over the weekend with the school term ending on September 23, so it is important we all take extra care,” Ms McCarthy said. “The last thing we want to see over this period is an increase in road trauma, which is

why double-demerits will be in place like they would for any other public holiday to deter people from doing the wrong thing and putting lives at risk. “Drivers are reminded that this period includes some school days and it is especially important to slow down and take care in school zones at school times – even if you

cannot see children near the road.” Students will be at school on September 21 (Wednesday) and 23 (Friday), and school zones will be in place. Drivers are reminded additional penalties can apply for certain offences committed in school zones. Under the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Regulation 2017, dou-

ble demerit periods automatically apply over a long weekend when a public holiday falls on a Thursday or Friday, or a Monday or Tuesday. The double-demerit period extends to the day before a public holiday to account for an increase in road users, with many people taking the opportunity to enjoy a long weekend.

Local tributes to the Queen

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Shire locals have created memorial sites in Narromine and Trangie where residents can leave floral tributes and messages honouring Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In Narromine, royal enthusiast Greg O’Mally created a memorial site outside his home in Meryula Street when he realised there was no municipal event planned locally. “In Bourke, where I saw and spoke to [the Queen] in 2000, the community is having a morning tea in their main park on the public holiday, and I couldn’t see anything here in Narromine except the council flags at half mast. “There was nowhere you could put anything for The Queen, so I thought that’s what I’m going to do. That’s my little contribution to [remembering] her reign,” he said. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the western NSW town of Bourke during their 14-day Australian tour in March 2000. Greg said that The Queen stopped to speak to a lot of people during her visit to Bourke, including himself. “It was a bit of a blur because I couldn’t believe that she stopped to talk to me.” Greg said he spoke to The Queen about racehorses. “She said that she loved [horseracing and horses] and I said that I loved racehorses too.” He described the late monarch as brighteyed and with a beaming smile, and said she was “absolutely lovely.” “When she speaks to you, you think you’re the most important person in the world,” he said. Greg said her passing affected him deeply. “It affected me more than I thought it would. I knew [her death] would eventually have to come, but I was surprised that it affected me as much as it did at the time,” he said. “She really did a lot for the world, I think.” Greg has collected a range of royal memorabilia over the years, including crockery, books, and a portrait of The Queen hangs on his living room wall. His tribute site will remain for a few days after the National Day of Mourning on today (September 22) for those community members who might wish to stop by and pay their respects. In Trangie, what began as a memorial in the window of the Trangie Newsagency has extended to include a floral tribute site on the lawn in front of the library. Rhonda Richardson and Sue Johnston have been involved in the creation of the li-

brary lawn tribute. “As Country Women’s Association (CWA) members, The Queen has always been part of our CWA meetings. After the national anthem is sung, our motto is: ‘Honour to God. Loyalty to the throne. Service to the country. Through country women. For county women. By country women,’ is said at every meeting,” said Ms Richardson. “Most of our members have grown up with The Queen, and we still have a few members who remember her father, the King, and even the abdication [of King Edward VIII]. “As we have yet to celebrate CWA Awareness Week, a couple of us decided to celebrate the life of our Queen,” she said. “We asked if we could put the CWA photo of The Queen that still hangs in the Trangie CWA rooms in the Trangie Newsagency window. Other members and local community members added more photos, books and memorabilia. “We then decided we needed a town floral tribute to celebrate the life of our Queen, so that anyone can make a contribution with a bunch of flowers, a single flower or even a quiet thank you.” Permission was sought from Narromine Shire Council to place the tribute on the lawn fronting the library, she said. “We used the Union Jack Flag and the tin soldiers from our Trangie ANZAC celebration collection.” One CWA member copied and framed a photo of The Queen and another made a wreath of yellow wattle and gum leaves, Rhonda said. Some husbands were also seconded to help with fence posts, wire and hammers. The end result is on the library lawn for Trangie community members and visitors to continue to lay flowers and give thanks, she said. Our colleagues at The Western Herald have confi rmed that there will be a combined churches’ thanksgiving service in Bourketoday followed by a council-led morning tea in the town’s Central Park. Bourke residents are being asked to bring out their fi ne china for the occasion and remember The Queen’s last visit to Central Park, a Western Herald spokesperson said. While there are no municipal picnics planned for the Narromine shire, there will be a combined churches’ thanksgiving service in Narromine at St Mary’s Anglican Church on the National Day of Mourning. Further information can be obtained from the church about this event. Residents are also able to leave their condolences at the libraries in Narromine and Trangie.

AusFly wows crowds A big crowd enjoyed the air display.

By SHARON BONTHUYS

THE spirit of aviation was strong as AusFly, the traditional fly-in event for aviation enthusiasts, returned to Narromine last week. Last held here in 2019, the two-day event organised by a cooperative which includes the Sport Aircraft Association of Australia (SAAA) and other stakeholders, was held over September 16-17 at Narromine Aerodrome. The packed program featured seminars, workshops, practical demonstrations, and the SAAA Young Aviators program. Aviation vendors could showcase their products including aircraft parts, kits and entire planes. Attendees could take a walk around the tarmac and view a number of light aircraft on display and even buy one if they wanted to. Matt Hall, Red Bull Air Race World Champion, was one of many who flew in for Ausfly 2022. Matt and fellow pilot Emma McDonald addressed young aviation enthusiasts at the Young Aviator Program and performed in the air display and provided Red Bull Air Race experiences. Mark Sullivan, Branch Manager Safety, Risk and Intelligence with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, also provided an update on key initiatives. The good folk from Angel Flight were on hand to talk about their valuable patient transport service and a spectacular air display on Saturday afternoon drew big crowds to the aerodrome to round out the program. The 2022 event was the fi rst to be held since 2019, with the 2020 and 2021 shows cancelled

due to COVID and subsequent restrictions. It would not have been possible without the key involvement of the local Narromine Aero Club, Narromine Gliding Club and Narromine Shire Council. Bad weather impacted the setup of the event on Thursday, September 15, with organisers indicating some people who would normally fly in for the event that day had reconsidered. However, the weather turned around overnight and the sun shone brightly for both days of AusFly. The national President of SAAA, Tony White, spoke to the Narromine Star about the event. “AusFly is basically a coming together of stakeholders, including the shire council, SAAA, the Narromine Gliding and Aero Clubs, and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association,” Tony said. “AusFly has evolved into its slogan: ‘all aviators under one sky.’ We want everybody from every walk of life, regardless of what they fly, what rules they fly under, we want them all to come and be one big family. Hence the slogan,” he said. Tony said a lot of coordination goes into staging AusFly over a period of months leading up to each event. “There are lots of meetings with stakeholders and everyone has to do their bit to make it function.” Picking a weekend when they hope the weather is going to be good is a key part of the planning and involves looking at long-range weather forecasts. “All this weather we had [in the days leading up to AusFly] was meant to be last week. This week was supposed to be fi ne according to the long

range forecast,” he said. “It was a pity we had thunderstorms [on Thursday]. It stopped a lot of people coming,” he said about the set up day, hoping there would be a good influx of planes coming in on Friday for the event. “We try to get people to fly in on Thursday, have the two days at the event, and fly home on Sunday,” he said. Greg and Barbara McFarlane flew in from Albany, Western Australia, for the event. President of SAAA Chapter 13 Albany, Greg said he and Barbara made the cross-country trip in two stages in their own RV aircraft. The fi rst stage was from Albany to Port Pirie and then they flew from Port Pirie to Narromine. The journey took about nine hours, he said. Greg and Barbara were volunteering in the SAAA marquee during the event. One of the key initiatives SAAA has been involved with, and which was on display at AusFly, was the Youth Aircraft Build and Fly Project where high school students in various locations around the country have constructed elements of an RV12 aircraft which have then been assembled locally. “The aeroplane was broken up into four major parts and we had two schools in Queensland, one in Victoria and one in Western Australia which each constructed one part. All the parts have been brought to Narromine and now the kids here and their mentors have assembled all the bits to make it into an aeroplane,” Tony said. That plane, called “Miss Tori,” was on display at Narromine Aerodrome during AusFly. The Narromine Star

The team had flown in from Queensland in their own plane, an all-wood Falco put together by Graeme Lean, travelling through some bad weather on their way south. “I started working on this when I was 17,” said the now 18-year-old Billy, who lives on the Sunshine Coast. “I’m really looking forward to seeing something that I helped build,” he said of Miss Tori. “Our students built the tail cone and the tail section,” said Graeme, explaining how the group from Burnside High worked together to construct their section of the plane. “We’re all very proud of what the kids have achieved in this program,” Tony said. On Saturday, crowds flocked to Narromine Aerodrome for the air display in the afternoon. They were treated to an excellent aerobatic display overhead by multiple pilots in a variety of aircraft. The air display could be seen from all over town and beyond as the Narromine Star discovered when we stopped at the Narromine Golf Course to find several veteran golfers grabbing snatches of the air show overhead while playing in the state titles tournament. It was also extra unexpected entertainment for those at the netball grand fi nals at Apex Park. The Narromine Star spoke to father and son aviation enthusiasts, Bruce Cary and Charles Cary, who travelled from Cumnock to check out

AusFly. Both men fly and Bruce has just started building an RV14 aircraft which he expects will take him several years to complete. “It could take me up to seven years to build the plane. It’s not a quick task and I’m in no hurry,” Bruce said. “It’s really good to be able to walk around the aeroplanes,” Charles said of their visit to AusFly. Final word went to the Narromine Aero Club which summed up the fantastic event on its social media: “It takes a team to pull off an event like what we have seen this weekend. The Narromine Gliding Club and Narromine Aero Club joined forces to cater for those aviation fanatics at the 2022 Ausfly. “Big shout out also to Inland Petroleum, who donated fuel for aircraft involved in the air displays. “And from us here, thank you to our team of volunteers (new and old) who manned the bar, made sure the toilets stayed clean, the fl ight line organised and to our wonderful kitchen volunteers who served up some dinner and dessert for those that attended.” Has the excitement of AusFly got you fixed on all things flight-related? Fresh off the back of that great local aviation event, the NSW Aerobatics Championships are taking place this week at Narromine Aerodrome. You’ll probably hear those magnificent machines go through their paces as you read this story. Further information about the event is available online and we’ll have a wrap up in next week’s Narromine Star.

Narromine Jets: grand final reflections Contributed by SALLY EVERETT ON Saturday, September 17, a large contingent of supporters travelled to Gilgandra to support the Jets’ Reserve Grade and League Tag teams in their grand ﬁ nals. The reserve grade team were a mix of young and old, experienced and inexperienced players who had come together in a short period of time, and they bonded quickly as a team and mates. The boys

took on a strong Binnaway Bombshells’ side, they had a game plan going into the day and executed it well. Player of the grand ﬁ nal also went to Narromine, to popular local boy, Ryan Richardson. The League Tag girls took on the Baradine Magpies. It was a fantastic game of football to watch and could have gone either way, with our girls in the game for the whole time. Unfortunately, they didn’t come away with the win, but they can hold

their heads up high. They have achieved so much on and off the field this season and deserved their place in the grand fi nal. This team is the fi rst ever Jets’ League Tag Team to make it to a grand fi nal and we could not be prouder of them. We would like to thank everyone who made the trip to Gilgandra on Saturday. The amount of support there for our club and players was fantastic and appreciated by the players. It has been

a long time since Jets have played fi nals football and we couldn’t be more delighted with the performance of all three teams, including the fi rst grade boys who were unlucky to miss out on a grand fi nal spot, but were the minor premiers for 2022. Jets’ President, Michael Burns, said: “It was a great day of footy for the Jets and it was a great feeling to be in the fi nals again. We will build on all the effort from this season and do our best to be more

successful next year. “Thank you to all the players who gave their best during the games and a huge thank you to all our wonderful sponsors and supporters.” We are now looking forward to celebrating all our season and our on and off the field achievements at our presentation night at our major sponsor, the Narromine USMC. We would love to see the Jets’ community there to celebrate with us.

Councils consulted over water strategy By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST week the NSW Government started consulting with local councils on the shortlisted options in the Macquarie-Castlereagh Regional Water Strategy. Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said the NSW Government is giving councils the opportunity to review the strategy ahead of it being released publicly in October. “We take the views of mayors, councillors and council staff seriously because they’re on the ground, they understand what matters to the people who live and work in their communities, and they know ﬁ rst-hand the water challenges facing their region,” Mr Saunders said. “We have taken on board their feedback from the ﬁ rst round of consultation in 2020 and 2021 to develop a suite of shortlisted options for

their region to consider. “Working proactively with councils will give them an opportunity to have the ﬁ rst say on how water is managed before we move into a four-week community consultation process.” Mr Saunders said the strategy outlines the ﬁnal shortlisted options for improving water security and drought resilience for Macquarie-Castlereagh over the next 20 to 40 years to meet the needs of the local economy, communities and the environment over the long term. “It includes a mix of infrastructure and non-infrastructure solutions to put us in a stronger position to manage the next drought, along with advanced water treatment technologies, demand management and future augmentation measures to diversify town water sources and reduce demand on dams and rivers,” he said.

Some of the key areas for consultation include: f creating water savings through the changed operation of regulated efﬂuent creeks; f investigating, and carrying out further analysis on replacing the ageing and damaged Gin Gin weir; f using ﬂood mitigation storage in Burrendong Dam for water supply; f building a regional pipeline connecting Dubbo to Nyngan and other towns; f innovative water supply options such as stormwater harvesting, recycled water and managed aquifer recharge; f improving the way groundwater resources are managed; and f supporting Aboriginal people to be more involved in water management by sharing their traditional knowledge and contributing to decision making. “Through better strategic planning, we will

be able to provide and manage water for towns and communities, unlock the economic potential of the region, safeguard the environment and protect Aboriginal culture and heritage, which is a win-win for everyone,” Mr Saunders said. The meetings with local councils over the next few weeks will build on the extensive consultation that was carried out during the drafting process in 2020 and 2021 that included webinars, face-to-face meetings, information sessions, phone calls and emails with hundreds of people including Councils, residents, farmers, businesses and Aboriginal groups, he said. Locally, the water strategy is being considered by Narromine Shire Council as part of its current water security work. “Narromine Shire Council welcomes com-

ments by local Member Dugald Saunders MP in relation to Local Councils having the opportunity to comment on this important strategic planning document,” a spokesperson said. “Council’s elected representatives along with staff will be given the opportunity to make submissions in relation to the list of options proposed by the study. “Council is currently undertaking option studies into the future water security of Narromine and the options identiﬁed in this strategy will be considered in Council’s strategic planning documentation,” the spokesperson said. The Orana Water Utilities Alliance (OWUA) represents 13 local government water utilities (LGWU) in the Orana and Western Division of NSW.

Mourning Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

As the world continues to mourn Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a National Day of Mourning has been declared in Australia by the Prime Minister for this Thursday, September, 22. The National Day of Mourning will be recognised as a one-off national public holiday and coincides with the National Memorial Service in Australia which will be held in the Great Hall of Parliament House at 11am on Thursday. This will be broadcast live across the nation. One minute’s silence will be observed at 11am. I encourage all Australians, wherever you may be, to take the time to pause and reﬂect on Her Majesty’s extraordinary life of service during this time. I will be attending the National Memorial Service on Thursday, followed by the resumption of Parliament on Friday, September 23, when condolence motions for Her Majesty will be heard. Parliament will continue to meet from September 26 – 28. In the meantime, condolence books remain open in each of my electorate offices, in Dubbo, Moree and Broken Hill, for constituents who wish to pay their respects to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Shanna Whan attends Queen’s state funeral Our very own Shanna Whan from Maules Creek in the Parkes electorate was among the 10 everyday Australians chosen to represent Australia at the State Funeral for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Monday. Shanna was named 2022 Local Hero Australian of the Year in January for her inspirational work in helping to change the conversation around alcohol and our drinking culture in the bush through grassroots charity Sober in the Country. She attended the State Funeral alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the Governor-General, His Excellency the Hon David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), and other Heads of State and government representatives from across the world. This was an incredible honour for Shanna and I look forward to hearing all about her experience when she returns from the UK.

Memories of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II NARROMINE Shire Council has offered its condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Australian Flag at council chambers was lowered to half-mast since the official announcement of The Queen’s death and remained at half-mast until September 20, 2022. Narromine shire mayor, Cr Craig Davies, said, “Council acknowledged The Queen’s death at last week’s ordinary council meeting with one-minute’s silence to reﬂect on her life and her legacy.”

“It is a very sad time for our community and for communities across Australia and the Commonwealth, as having been a Sovereign for such a long time, Queen Elizabeth II has been a huge part of the lives of generations of people,” Cr Davies said. “There are still residents who were among the many lining the streets to welcome The Queen and Prince Phillip when they visited Dubbo in February 1954 and again in 1992 as part of their Royal Visit to Australia. “It was a very exciting time and very fond memories, for those who were here to see it.”

Regional, State & National news BOM declares another La Niña: expect more rain

THE Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has declared a La Niña event is underway in the Paciﬁc Ocean and communities in eastern Australia should be prepared for above-average rainfall over spring and early summer. Bureau of Meteorology head of long-range forecasts, Dr Andrew Watkins, said the Bureau’s three-month climate outlook shows a high chance of above average rainfall for most of the eastern half of the Austral-

ian mainland and eastern Tasmania. “During La Niña events, waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean are cooler than normal, and waters in the western tropical Pacific Ocean warmer than normal. This causes changes in wind, cloud and pressure patterns over the Pacific. “When this change in the atmosphere combines with changes in ocean temperature, it can influence global weather patterns and cli-

mate, including increasing rainfall over large parts of Australia”. Dr Watkins said while La Niña criteria have been met, most models forecast this event to be weak to moderate in strength, likely to peak during spring and ease during summer. “La Niña is not the only driver inﬂuencing this wet outlook. To our west, a signiﬁcant negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event is underway. We expect the IOD

inﬂuence will reduce in late spring or early summer,” Dr Watkins said. “The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is also in a positive phase, and likely to remain positive into summer. Positive SAM during summer pushes weather systems south, which increases the chance of rain in New South Wales, eastern Victoria and southern parts of Queensland,” he said. Dr Watkins said all these climate inﬂuences push Aus-

tralia’s climate towards a wetter phase, and together have shaped our outlook for the coming months that shows more than 80 per cent chance of above average rainfall for many parts of the eastern half of Australia. With catchments already wet, the ﬂood risk remains, particularly for eastern Australia. The Bureau is encouraging communities to keep up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings on its website and weather app.

NFF seeks federal commitment on biosecurity, workforce and climate THE National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) wants to see the Federal Government deliver on its pre-election commitment for sustainable, long-term biosecurity funding in the Budget to be handed down on October 25. NFF President Fiona Simson said the 43 recommendations in the peak farming body’s Pre-Budget Submission were built around its 2030 Roadmap. High on the list was the missing link in

Australia’s defence against looming and existing biosecurity threats like Foot and Mouth Disease, Lumpy Skin Disease and Varroa Mite. “The National Biosecurity Strategy has delivered the vision and the framework to resource our biosecurity system now and into the future. Recent discussions between the NFF and the government on biosecurity funding have been positive.” Fresh from attending the

Russell Everingham funerals

Jobs and Skills Summit, Ms Simson said agriculture’s worker crisis had also been brought to national leaders’ attention, but there was more work to be done. “There are about 85,000 farm businesses in Australia and most of them are run by families who are under increasing pressure for want of workers. It’s a problem choking production, which is being felt from the paddock right through the

supply chain, and ultimately Australians are paying more at the checkout. “Our submission includes practical solutions, including increasing training opportunities to upskill workers and ref lect the dynamic changes in an industry embracing technology.” Keeping pace with climate change and environmental pressures were also key in the NFF’s submission. “Promoting the sustaina-

bility of Australian agriculture, especially focusing on the natural environment, are critical to agriculture’s future. The NFF is committed to working with the government to develop opportunities to value natural capital inside the farm gate.” Ms Simson said the time is right to put serious dollars behind these solutions and turbocharge regional Australia’s productivity.

Farms of the future: driving the AgTech revolution THE number of farmers adopting agricultural technologies and digital farm solutions in rural and regional NSW is set to rise, thanks to new training launched through the NSW Government’s $48 million Farms of the Future program. Member of the NSW Legislative Council, Scott Barrett, has met with local viticulturists enrolled in the fi rst Farms of the Future training course in Orange. Mr Barrett said the training is essential for producers to see fi rst-hand the benefits of Agtech and how it can be implemented on-farm. “The Farms of the Future program is all about encouraging producers to adopt and integrate connectivity and digital solutions to boost productivity, increase competitiveness, and improve resource management,” Mr Barrett said. “This Agtech training aims to build

producers’ skills and conﬁdence to use new technologies so they can make an informed investment for their farm. “Through the training, producers will prepare a digital installation plan for their farm and learn how Agtech can save them time, money, labour and fuel, while improving their productivity and outputs.” Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, Paul Toole, said the Farms of the Future program was part of the NSW Government’s vision for building a stronger agricultural sector. “The NSW primary industries sector is a $20.9 billion economy, and this could see substantial growth in the future through more widespread use of Agtech and digital connectivity that enables producers to work smarter, not harder,” Mr Toole said. “This is about putting farmers in the best position to make investment decisions about the best tech solutions for

their farm that factors in connectivity needs and how to ensure these systems talk to each other. “Farmers who have completed the training will be eligible to apply for funding in the new year to enable access to Agtech devices from the program’s approved supplier catalogue, which will be made available later this year.” The one-day training program has been developed in partnership with Tocal College, one of Australia’s leading providers in specialised training for agricultural and rural industries. The program is a prerequisite for eligibility to apply to the Farms of the Future funding program, expected to open in January 2023. More information is available on the Department of Primary Industries’ website.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, September 22, 2022

Earth science teachers visit Tomingley and Peak Hill mines By SHARON BONTHUYS SEVEN earth and environmental science teachers from around NSW visited the Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO) mine site recently to gain a better understanding of what happens in mining. Arranged by an Alkane exploration geologist Alex Cherry, the visit aimed to inform the earth science educators about the mining industry. “Some of the teachers have little practical understanding of what we actually do in mining. The idea of the visit was to provide them with some information about the mining cycle right from exploration

through to rehabilitation of a mine site,” said TGO General Manager Operations, Jason Hughes. “We brought them out here and showed them an operating mine site. They were taken down into the open pit and got to climb over the trucks and diggers, and four of them went underground for a tour and got a quick glimpse of underground mining as well,” Jason said. “It was very beneﬁcial for them to see an actual operating mine in person rather than go off what they think might happen or what they might have read about mining,” he said.

The teachers also visited the old Peak Hill Gold Mine and Open Cut Experience to learn about the mining history of the area as well as to see what a successfully rehabilitated mine site looks like. The regeneration of native bushland around the mine and the return of numerous species was discussed to highlight the often positive environmental impacts of mining. The practical nature of the visit to these areas means the teachers will be better informed when discussing mining with students, Jason said. In NSW, “science” is a mandatory subject for all students from Kindergarten to Year 10.

Earth and environmental science is a Stage 6 syllabus offered as a two-unit course to students in Years 11 and 12. “Teaching children at school the real facts about mining is so critical to the Australian resource industry. We can’t get enough people into the industry and I think it’s predominantly because the kids [coming through] don’t really know anything about mining. What they may know, typically, hasn’t been painted in a good light either, which is not deserved,” Jason said. “The resource industry for critical minerals is so important but people don’t want to go and do mining or are un-

familiar with the broad range of careers available within mining.

“People think it’s just operating equipment but there’s so much more to [mining]. There are geologists, engineers, environmental scientists, metallurgists, accountants, lawyers etc.

“Getting information [out to students] about what we do can only help,” he said.

Narromine hospital auxiliary update

Charmaine Treseder, Daphne Johnson (President), and Mavis Leak at the hospital auxiliary street stall last Friday. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. Contributed by VICKI GAINSFORD OUR street stall, held last Friday, contributed greatly to our fundraising. Its success was thanks to all the wonderful donations of cakes, slices, handicrafts, plants and even matchbox cars (thank you, John Longmire!) as well as to those who came and supported us by purchasing goods, buying rafﬂe tickets or giving ﬁ nancial

donations. Thank you all, we are very appreciative! Sanu Joy, our Health Services Manager at the Narromine Hospital, has now been given the go-ahead to purchase a stroke chair and two “fall alarms” have also been purchased. These alarms warn staff if a patient falls or gets out of bed. We would like to thank Narromine’s past Apexians who also donated funds to purchase

the syringe driver for the hospital and to the Narromine Ladies Golf members who recently had a “chip in to a local charity” day and raised $100 for the Hospital Auxiliary. We very much appreciate Sanu’s attendance at our monthly meetings, where he informs us of staffing vacancies and recruitment, new services and initiatives, accreditation updates, and gives feedback to any questions or

issues that are put to him. Sanu aspires to “open the hospital doors” to public engagement. At the same time he’s rattled a few Auxiliary members’ nerves with his request to have a cricket match: hospital staff versus the Auxiliary. Another reason we need new young members! Last month, two members of our Auxiliary attended a special night, along with many other local organisations,

hosted by the Regional Australia Bank (RAB) and for the purpose of giving out bonus payments as part of their Community Partnership Program. Anybody with a RAB transaction account can nominate a local organisation to receive a bonus paid by the bank, without it costing the individual a single cent. It’s a fantastic initiative! Have you checked with them to see if you are part of the program?

Trangie students receive Orana Arts awards Contributed by ORANA ARTS THIS week, Narromine Elder and Orana Arts Board member Aunty Ruth Carney, and Orana Arts Executive Director Alicia Leggett, presented Trangie Central School student Ashton Davis with the Uncle Dick (Richard) Carney Memorial Scholarship. Presented in memory of Aunty Ruth’s husband, Uncle Dick, the scholarship includes a trip to Sydney to visit and work with the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) at their HQ at The Rebel Theatre in Sydney. Fellow Trangie Central School student, Chase Quigley, was presented with a $50 gift card as encouragement for his participation in the workshops that he and Ashton did with ATYP tutor and award-winning actor, director and arts educator, Matilda Ridgway, during the last school holidays in Trangie. Matilda worked with the students on performing and storytelling over three days giving them the tools needed to choose a story and communicate it theatrically. We look forward to seeing where this experience and opportunity takes these two young performers.

Sport Ladies’ golf action

Locals defend title at state vets’ golf championships

Contributed by DALE HARDING LAST Wednesday we played the play off for the monthly medals. The 18-hole trophy, the McLachlan Shield and the nine-hole Jean Richardson trophy will be presented on presentation night. The 18-hole winner was Vicki Gainsford with 78 nett, and the runner up was Wendy Jeffery with 70 nett. The nine-hole winner was Kim Handsaker with 35 nett and the runner up was Anne Harmer with 36 nett. The 18-hole competition run in conjunction was won by Michelle Ashdown with 70 nett. The nine-hole competition was won by Kim Handsaker with 35 nett on a count back from Viv Halbisch. The C grade winner was Bev Woods with 37 nett. Ball winners were Viv Halbisch, Anne Harmer 36, Carole Paddison 38 and Peta Ferrari 38. Nearest the pins were Jenny Fitzgerald, Michelle Ashdown and Kim Handsaker. Drawn cards were Dale Harding and Jenny Ward. Last Sunday we played a stableford event for a trophy donated by Carol McCalman and next weekend we are playing chosen holes for a trophy donated by Chris Samuels.

Harding wins Gerries’ golf Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Wednesday there were 10 players in the Gerries golf competition on the front nine. Winner on the day was Chris Harding with a round of 23 points and he collected the special trophy prize for his effort. Three players scored 22 points: Mal McIntyre,”Boof” Fraser and Terry Willis. The count back was used to declare “Boof” as the second placegetter. There was no winner of the nearest the pin and the jackpot kitty, so this event is growing rapidly. The NAGA prize for this week was won by Ross Smith on 11 points. Over to the pool table where only one match was played. Bob Fletcher and Terry Willis met Ross King and Chris Harding, the latter racing to an early lead and looking all-over winners being soon on the black. It was at this point “Fletch” showed his true form to clean up the table to win comfortably and to help team Willis-Fletcher claim the title of pool champs for the week. That’s all for this week, see you at the club house.

Contributed by NORM LEWIS AND KALE BOCK THE NSW Veterans Golf Association (VGA) Men’s Sand Greens Fourball State Championships were played in Narromine over the weekend. A feature of the weekend was the win by local club champions Tony Mann and Rob Williams in the 36-hole championship event. It is the second win in this event for this Narromine pairing. The event was last played in 2019 but cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID. Mann and Williams were the defending champions and have defended their title. They had rounds of 36-38 stableford points off scratch to win by three shots from Peter Hutchinson (Narromine) and Gary Wilkin (Cobar), (3338) -71, and Keven Kelaher and Peter

Norm Lewis and Bruce Mitchell.

York (35-36) -71. Congratulations to each of the winners. A total of 57 played in the event representing some 12 NSW clubs. Speaking at the presentations, Narromine Veterans Club President, Bruce Mitchell, congratulated all the winners and welcomed all the visitors. He also thanked all those at the club who had helped make the tournament a success. Bruce then introduced John Daley from Grafton, who is a member of the NSWVGA Executive Council and director of NSW tournaments to speak on behalf of the Association. Mr Daley congratulated all those who played. He also congratulated the Narromine Club on the conduct of the event and announced that Narromine had been granted the conduct of this tournament in 2023 and 2024. The club president then congratu-

lated the Narromine Shire Council and the Narromine Star for their help in supporting the event. This report is reduced in size due to the lack of time for preparation and space in this issue, however, there will be a full report and results in next week’s edition. Other local winners on the day were: Peter Gainsford and Greg Barling (third in 36-hole Handicap). Peter Hutchinson (second in 36 hole scratch and Sunday nearest the pin). Vicki Gainsford (third in the Ladies’ Stableford on Sunday). Golf Club events for next week-end include a two-person ambrose, a “shoot out” ﬁ nal, Nyngan Open and the Junior Clinic. That’s it for this week, see you at the 19th.

Narromine Bowling Club News Contributed by RICK BOHM ANOTHER excellent week of bowls, with play on Thursday and Sunday for the social boys, championships and pennants on Sunday and a promise of more to come. As My old mate Bill Lawry would concur, it’s all happening here, folks. First to the championships, and the semi-ﬁ nals of the “B” singles were contested last Saturday which resulted in wins for Racardo Stanford and Kane Adams. Well done lads, great to see a couple of relative newcomers to the game coming through. These two will square off this weekend in what promises to be

an interesting affair. No doubt the window tappers will be in place early, although for the Stanfords, it will be a bit difficult as Dad Robbie has a pressing engagement in the zone pennant ﬁ nals series at Parkes, compliments of a 10/Zip win over West Dubbo last Saturday in a deferred pennant match. Speaking of the lads in the red trousers, their assignment this weekend involves three matches at Parkes, where their opponents will be Gulgong, Orange City and Grenfell. Social Bowls this week saw just eight go round in trying conditions on Thursday, with Bob Christoff and Des Lincoln

the pick of the bunch. Sunday’s weather was a lot better and the numbers reﬂected that, with Clifton Harris, Kerry Martin and Dave McNair getting the chocolates. “GUB” Thorne day is now on next month and as usual players will be assured a great time. Nominations to date are fair but expected to jump out of the ground with the new date opening up Visits from Bathurst, Walgett, Bourke, Trangie and other traditional supporters of this day. Well that’s it for me, best of luck to our lads in the red trousers at the pennant playoffs.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES AS a successful trainer at Bathurst for the past 25-years, Paul Theobald is looking forward to his hometown Cup meeting on Sunday. Although he won’t have a runner in the 1800 metres Daffodil Cottage Bathurst Cup, an eligibility race for the $2 million Big Dance, or the feature sprint the $110,000 Ray White Emms Mooney The Panorama, Theobald is likely to have good representation from his stable in supporting events including last start winners Power Bank and Boorawa Girl. Paul Theobald knows a bit about Bathurst, his forebears coming to the town (now city) in 1850. His father Mervyn Theobald who passed away in recent years at age 99, operated a Bathurst newsagency until he was 97. Mervyn Theobald was a long-time owner of harness racing horses with his pacers being trained by two of the best in the sport, Tony Turnbull and Ian Mutton, both from Bathurst.

Paul Theobald looks forward to Bathurst Amongst his well-known pacers was the good Harold Park performer Our Bill trained by Ian Mutton. Paul Theobald who combines his trade as a builder with racehorse training has prepared a host of good gallopers from his stables near the Bathurst race course including tough sprinter Dragons Keep, the Central Districts Racing Association “Horse Of The Year” for the 2012/2013 season. Usually with Ken Dunbar in the saddle, Dragons Keep had 11 wins and 24 placings from 74 starts and earned $192,685 prizemoney. Dragons Keep won a city class race at Wyong at $36 and ran second at Warwick Farm and although mainly competing at TAB meetings set a weight carrying record when winning the Bracelet Handicap at Bedgerabong Picnics. Destined to be among the best trained by Theobald it was a frustrating run of placings to start the career of Dunderry. Commencing racing In 2011, Dunderry at debut was unplaced in Sydney then had six seconds and two thirds at the next eight starts. After the initial seven placings at mainly TAB meetings, Dunderry was taken

to Bedgerabong Picnics and again ran second, as favourite, in a maiden handicap to the George Wright, Parkes-trained Be My Honey. The breakthrough win came in the 1000 metres Park View Hotel Maiden Handicap at Orange in 2012 when ridden by Clare Pettigrew who was the rider again when Dunderry two starts later won again at Queanbeyan. From then on, with Ken Dunbar mainly the jockey, Dunderry built an imposing record of 14 wins and 32 placings from 124 starts with prizemoney totalling $207,190. The resilient Dunderry raced until a rising 12-yearold and career highlights included winning the Bill Aspros Cup at Bathurst. Although a winner over 1200 metres at Bathurst and 1400 metres at Louth and the Marthaguy Picnics at Quambone, the Theobald-trained Bathurstian, was better known as a stayer. Part owned by Paul’s father Mervyn Theobald, Bathurstian twice ran second over 3000 metres in The Barb on Bathurst Cup day and twice won the 2400 metres Iron Horse at Wellington, the second time after being sold to Narromine trainer Michael Plummer.

Overall, Bathurstian had ﬁve wins and 23 placings from 77 starts. All Sixes was another good performer for the Theobald stable, winning the $30,000 Darley Tiara at Muswellbrook in 2015 and the Allandale Park Stud Cup at Orange and twice being placed in the Soldiers Saddle at Bathurst. Interestingly, Paul Theobald trained two horses both named Red Marauder and both were the winners of numerous races. “The ﬁ rst Red Marauder was a striking chestnut and when a similar looking horse came along 18 years later the name was again available”, Paul Theobald explained. Of course, the Bathurst-trained Red Marauder pair are not to be confused with Red Marauder winner of the 2001 Grand National at Aintree in England when in atrocious conditions and with a riderless horse causing chaos, only four of the 40 starters completed the course and two of those were remounted during the race. Always prepared to travel to place his horses to advantage, Theobald had four winners on the day at Gosford Picnics and a treble at a Marthaguy Picnic meeting at Quambone. For 22-years Dubbo-based

Ken Dunbar has been the ﬁ rst choice jockey for the stable while Alan Barton, now the curator at Bathurst racecourse, had a long and successful association riding for Paul Theobald at the picnic races. Other riders to enjoy success for the stable have included Winona Costin, Rebeka Prest, Roy McCabe Jnr and Jake Barrett. More of the Theobald family are now involved with racing, including Paul’s daughter Elizabeth Theobald, the partner of jockey Jake Pracey-Holmes, being a trackwork rider for Gulgong trainer Brett Thompson. Another daughter Katherine Theobald is already a more than a competent trackwork rider and is planning to become apprenticed to her father as a jockey when she completes year 10 at high school this year.

Grey gelding Attilius has been a noted “long shot “ specialist, winning 12 races with the starting prices at ﬁve of those wins ranging from $11 to $31 plus second placings at $61 (Muswellbrook) and $101 (Wellington).

Local teams star in netball grand finals By SHARON BONTHUYS SEVERAL netball teams in the Narromine Shire competed in last weekend’s Dubbo Netball Association’s grand finals, which were actually staged in Narromine. The event was relocated to Apex Park, Narromine, on September 17 due to local area flooding from the Macquarie/ Wambuul River impacting the courts in Dubbo where the event would normally take place. The Narromine Netball Club swung into action with minimal notice, the night before the competition, working with the Narromine Shire Council to stage the event locally. The club and the council did a tremendous job with courts ready for action and a canteen open the next morning. Myriad messages appeared on social media helping players and supporters fi nd Apex Park as well as local food and drink providers in the community. The club also fi red up a barbecue borrowed from the Narromine Jets – themselves with a busy day over at Gilgandra with two teams in the rugby league grand finals – and with the help of local food service providers who came to Apex Park, the influx of players and supporters were well fed and watered. In the juniors, the Under 12 Trangie Firecrackers took on the Nyngan Tigers in what coach Rachael Bond described as a “nailbiter” match. The Firecrackers fought valiantly and fi nished strongly, but was unable to defeat Nyngan in the end. Rachael said she was thankful it didn’t go on any longer, it was such a nerve-wracking event for those watching. “I actually couldn’t cope!” In the afternoon, three senior teams from across the shire played simultaneously in A Grade, A Reserve and C Grade grand fi nals that hit off at 2.30pm. The mighty Narromine Hawks defeated Fusion Heat in a fast-paced match while A-Reserve team Trangie Fire went down to Inspire Vixens in a well-fought contest, and C Grade Narromine Fokkers were also defeated by rivals WMPD in an exciting match. Rachael told the Narromine Star that the Trangie Fire had a close game against much younger rivals. “We [have] an average age of 41.7 and we played a team [with an] average age of 17. They just had a little more ‘go’ in the end,” Rachael said. It was wonderful to see four teams from the shire making it right to the end of the competition. With one victor and three runners-up, it was an amazing result and a great day for family and spectators who made the trek to Apex Park. The Dubbo Netball Association was effusive in its thanks to everyone who made the event at Narromine possible. “Congratulations to all the teams who played [on Saturday], and a huge thank you to all umpires, it was an awesome day,” the association said on social media. Well done, everyone!

CHRISTIE & HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE GRAND FINAL

Roosters claim the title

Contributed by BRYSON LUFF THE Cobar Roosters claimed the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League fi rst grade premiership with a thrilling victory in the grand final played at Gilgandra on Saturday. In what was a sensational finale to the 2022 season, with mere seconds remaining on the clock, the Roosters captain coach and lock, Loma Atuah, took the ball from the back of a scrum that was packed deep in Gilgandra territory and set himself on an arcing run down the blind side. He just managed to force his way over in the corner to edge the Roosters ahead 28 to 26, sending the army of Rooster Boosters positioned in that area delirious! This was a game to be savoured, with the lead changing several times and the scores being locked twice, including 12 all at half time.

While the Roosters got the silverware, the Panthers lost no fans, as they gave it their all throughout the highly entertaining affair with both sides scoring five tries each in front of a large and vocal crowd. With 13 minutes remaining in the match, the Panthers were looking as if they might be able to go on with it after they had reeled in a sixpoint deficit, following a converted try to the Roosters five minutes after the break. Having run in three unanswered tries, they held an all-important eight-point lead with the scoreboard reading 26 to 18 in their favour. That eight-point lead was short lived, however, and the Roosters responded with a converted try with nine minutes remaining, and it was very much a case of game on with just two points separating the two teams. Those fi nal nine minutes were as intense and gripping

as it gets, and it was not until Atuah’s last gasp effort that the premiership was decided! In the earlier games the Narromine Jets reserve grade side secured their club’s ﬁ rst Castlereagh League premiership when they defeated the Binnaway Bombshells 28 to 16 whilst in league tag the Baradine Magpies continued their dominant run in that grade when they took out an engaging match against the Narromine Jets 28 to 20. The day also saw Castlereagh League Life Memberships deservedly bestowed upon Wayne Burgess (Coolah) and Joe Bellgardt (Coonamble) for their invaluable contribution to Castlereagh Rugby League over a long period of time. Tori Canham from Coonamble was named as the Castlereagh League Tag Player of the Year, this being the ﬁ fth time that she has been so recognised. Hard working Gil-

gandra front rower Anthony Harris’s consistent high quality performances throughout the season saw him receive the Castlereagh League Player of the Year Award.
