MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk The State Government has once again displayed its arrogance and lack of understanding of the plight of our local primary producers by dumping on them a requirement to install irrigation meters or face tough restrictions and possible fines (see cover story, pages 4&5). It seems extraordinary that while this region and so much else of Queensland remains in the grip of drought such a requirement would be brought in at this time, but of course it’s part of the bigger picture of the decade-long wrangling over the Murray-Darling Basin and the billions in taxpayer dollars spent on questionable schemes to save it. Everyone at this end of the Condamine River catchment knows that producers around here are largely family farming operations – who are careful with their water - and as per usual are getting done over by larger corporate farming interests and speculative investors ripping off water further down the system. Producers in the Warwick region should attend next Thursday’s meeting on the metering program at the Swan Creek Hall. There are far too many unanswered questions on this issue and they deserve more clarity and detail. Jeremy Sollars

IDENTITY LOST IN CRASH The campdrafting community across the nation is mourning the loss of respected identity Peter Gesler, who died in a light plane crash in the remote South Australian outback at the weekend. Mr Gesler - who operated the Donell Park Stud at Greymare west of Warwick and a female passenger were killed when the single-engine two-seater Brumby 610 aircraft in which they were travelling crashed into scrubland near the Leigh Creek airport shortly before 6.30pm last Saturday 6 July, around 600 kilometres north of Adelaide. They had taken off from the William Creek airport on the Oodnadatta Track around 160 kilometres east of Coober Pedy at 4pm and had flown across Lake Eyre before the tragedy took place. The 48 year old female passenger has been identified as Rachel Whitford, understood to have been a former serving officer with the Queensland and South Australia Police. It is believed Mr Gesler and Ms Whitford were on a private aerial tour of the South Australian outback. Warwick Show and Rodeo Society
campdraft committee chairman Bill Bright said in a statement released on Monday of this week that the "Australian horse industry has lost a highly respected and much loved member with the passing of Peter Gesler on Saturday". "Peter was passionate about breeding performance horse, and that passion contributed greatly to the sport of campdrafting," Mr Bright said in the statement. "Peter was also a great sponsor of campdrafting events donating both his time and money to many campdrafting events Australia wide. "He was a larger than life figure at the many events that he attended and competed at, and campdrafting will be the poorer for his loss. "Our condolences go to his wife Debbie, his family and friends." South Australia Police are preparing a report for the state's coroner and the cause of the crash is still being investigated by aviation authorities including Recreational Aviation Australia. ●

WATER LEVY ‘A LAST RESORT’ SAYS COUNCIL BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Southern Downs Regional Council says an emergency water supply levy on property owners would be a "last resort" as the critical search for backup supplies of urban water for the region intensifies. At their June meeting councillors adopted a schedule of charges the council could implement at any point during the current financial year to help fund emergency water supply measures, such as carting water into the region from other nearby areas of the state. Owners of a standard residential home with a 20mm town water connection in Warwick, Stanthorpe, Allora, Yangan, Killarney and Wallangarra could be slugged with a $455.60 charge, while those in Dalveen, Karara, Leyburn and Pratten could be hit with $387.30. But at a media conference held at the Warwick Council chambers on Tuesday of this week Mayor Tracy Dobie was at pains to point out that such emergency charges would only be considered by the council if all other avenues of alternative town water supply are exhausted. These include investigating councilowned bores in town areas and in the case of
Stanthorpe - which is forecast to run out of town water by Christmas without significant rainfall - taking water from Coolmunda and Glenlyon Dams, either carting by truck or via "temporary infrastructure", with the water purchased by the council from SunWater. In Warwick's case - with 12 months of urban water supply forecast without significant rainfall - options other than bore water could include carting water from undisclosed sources in the Scenic Rim or piping water from Clifton, which could in turn be serviced by Toowoomba if the dire situation persists. Toowoomba has access to water from Brisbane's Wivenhoe Dam via a $187 million pipeline completed in 2010. Cr Dobie also this week foreshadowed further emergency water restrictions which would see the per person/per day water use target reduced from the current 120 litres to just 90 litres but would not give a timeframe for introduction of such restrictions. Council officers at this week's media conference confirmed "several hundred" compliance notices had been issued to households and businesses across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt
for breaches of the current "extreme" restrictions, but only two $475 fines have so far been issued , one to a household and one to a local business, both undisclosed. Council officers said extra water meter readings would be carried out on households or businesses which received a compliance notice after a month, to check consumption had been reduced before a fine would be issued. They also confirmed water for council roadworks around the region is currently being sourced from the Killarney off-stream storage, and that "illegal connections" along the Connolly Dam pipeline to the Warwick water treatment plant are being investigated. Cr Dobie said she was confident the State Government would help to meet the costs of water carting or temporary pumping and piping infrastructure before any emergency council levy was introduced. The council has issued tenders for emergency water carting from contractors, which close on Thursday 25 July. · For information on the current water restrictions and ways to save water visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au · For more on the council's emergency water options go to www.freetimes.com.au ●
Queensland Minister for Police and Corrective Services Mark Ryan this week announced a significant reward for information relating to the murder of 22-year-old Vincent Raymond Allen in 1964. Mr Allen was last seen alive in the Warwick area on April 18 1964. He had been employed as a labourer and had worked on the construction of Leslie Dam. Despite an extensive police investigation, Mr Allen's body has never been located and in 1980 the State Coroner declared Mr Allen to be deceased and likely to have been murdered in or around the Warwick area. Mr Ryan this week said the renewed investigation into the murder of Mr Allen had been conducted by detectives of State Crime Command's Cold Case Unit, within the Homicide Group. "This is a dedicated group of officers who are committed to investigating some of Queensland's oldest unsolved murders, applying the newest technology and investigative techniques to find answers and bring those who have committed these crimes to account," Mr Ryan said. Detective Inspector Damien Hansen of the Cold Case Unit said he hoped "the passing of well over 50 years would give anyone who has information relating to this crime and has kept it to themselves the incentive to come forward". "However, if time is not enough then the offer of this significant reward may help," he said. "Quite often when we announce a reward the focus is on the monetary value of the offer. "I feel it important to stress this reward also comes with the opportunity for indemnity from prosecution. "This means that anyone who was an accomplice to the crime (and did not commit the act of murder) and comes forward to police first, could qualify for the indemnity. "We often find that over such a long period of time, what once stood as an unwavering allegiance to a friend or mate, should no longer have hold over you."We urge you to come forward now as this may be your last chance to help us," Detective Inspector Damien Hansen said. · Got information?

HAVE A SAY ON METERING BY JEREMY SOLLARS
P
rimary producers from the Warwick region are being urged to attend a public meeting next week to protest a lack of Queensland Government consultation over plans to restrict their use of irrigation water. While water from above is critically lacking, underground water supplies in farming country around Warwick remain at roughly the same average level they have
been for the last 20 years and for many of our farmers are the only source to keep livestock and fodder crops alive. But the Palaszczuk Government dropped a bombshell late last month, writing to just under 1000 Darling Downs producers including those in creek catchments east of Warwick - instructing them to install metering systems on their irrigation bores this financial year or face a fine of anywhere up to $217,000 if they breach restrictions without doing so. If they do not install meters they will

only be able to draw irrigation water twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday nights. While many of those affected do not necessarily object to their irrigation water being metered, they are angry at the lack of notice given to them by the government, having received their letters - sent to 925 producers in the Upper Condamine catchment which includes the Warwick area - in the last week of June, with the new metering requirement effective as of 1 July. The state government foreshadowed the introduction of irrigation metering across
Queensland last year, under pressure from Canberra to come into line with southern states in the Murray-Darling Basin. Metering is already in place in the Dalrymple Creek catchment north of Warwick, one of the few areas in Queensland where metering is currently required. As reported in the Free Times in July last year, the state government made a commitment to "consultation with stakeholders" but the issue has gone quiet since, until now.

Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Dr Anthony Lynham told the Free Times last July the government "would consider a number of metering policy options towards the end of 2018", and that the state government was "committed to managing Queensland's water resources responsibly, including meeting our obligations to protecting the MurrayDarling". In June last year Queensland signed up to the 'Murray-Darling Basin Compliance Compact' with New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT. The compact was the latest phase in the decade-long wrangling over the MurrayDarling which has seen billions of taxpayer dollars spent on water buybacks and 'water efficiency' schemes by both ALP and Coalition federal governments, most of which money has ultimately benefitted corporate farming interests south of the border and banks speculating on water as a standalone commodity without any investment in farming. Former Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley - himself among several hundred local producers to be subject to the new irrigation restrictions - will chair the public meeting at Swan Creek Hall next Thursday 18 July at 10am. He is urging irrigators who received the notice of 'Limitation of taking water in the upper Condamine Basalts and Upper Condamine Alluvium (tributaries)' to attend the meeting and have their say - and foreshadowed a formal motion calling on the state government to delay the implementation of irrigation metering until producers fully understand the financial and logistical impact. Mr Bartley told the Free Times the installation of irrigation meters alone could cost an individual producer more than $2000 per bore. "Irrigation allocations were last handed out in this area in the 1990s and producers in the Warwick area have always been very careful with their use of irrigation water," Mr Bartley said. "There aren't huge irrigation allocations of water in these valleys and irrigation has always been self-governing - if the water isn't there you're just pulling air so you turn the pump off. "Irrigation around here has traditionally been used as a supplementary water source in between rain events, but obviously in this time of drought we're talking about the only source of water for any kind of fodder crop. "There are serious concerns about the costs of metering and how meters would be read, either manually by departmental

David Littleproud. officers or remotely by telemetry. "Another concern is what we understand is a lack of certified meter installers in this area, and that the scheme could be put out to tender which could go to a firm or firms from outside the Warwick area. "We're not against metering as such, our main gripe is simply the lack of consultation, which greatly differs from other irrigation areas, where there were lengthy consultation periods between the users and the Water Resources Department. "But we are of the belief the (state) government has an ulterior motive here, and that's to put a dollar value on every megalitre of irrigation water. "These are traditional family farming operations in these valleys, not the big corporates. "And we're a long way behind other areas with significantly larger allocations in terms
of what we are permitted to use. "Once the area is fully metered, a discussion needs to occur regarding instream trading of water between irrigators." Clintonvale dairy producers Andrew McConnell and Lawrence Ryan - who are milking only very minimal numbers at present - agreed irrigating fodder crops on Tuesday and Thursday nights only would be impractical. "It really couldn't come at a worse time for us," Andrew said. "It'd cost us more for the power to pump on those two nights, and it would mean your crops are then going without a drink until the following Tuesday. "I've already got ryegrass that's dying as it is - we don't have any silage or hay at the present time. "If you can find hay to purchase, it is at an exorbitant price."
The Queensland Government has still not come to the party with funding for the proposed Emu Swamp Dam near Stanthorpe, despite a $47 million commitment from the Federal Government and a $26 million commitment from Granite Belt producers. Federal Member for Maranoa and Minister for Water Resources and Drought David Littleproud last week used the example of the closure of the Costa Group's Glen Aplin mushroom farm and the loss of 42 jobs as another reason why the dam is so crucial for Granite Belt primary production. "Emu Swamp Dam is desperately needed now," Mr Littleproud said. "Building this dam will create 700 jobs and entice companies and farmers to keep producing, keep their operations turning a profit and creating job opportunities. "The State, who continue to stall on this, need to get on board, approve the project and cough up $13 million to save jobs and grow the Granite Belt's economy for the future. "What's needed right now is infrastructure investment to provide a reliable water supply and support droughtaffected communities. "It's a no brainer that building dams will stimulate rural economies, improve job opportunities and help drought-proof Queensland." ●

LEGENDS HEAD TO LEYBURN SPRINTS Dick Johnson and Fred Gibson will be among the motor-racing legends attending the historic Leyburn Sprints for Australian Grand Prix 70th anniversary celebrations (Images by Autopics.com.au) Bathurst winners Dick Johnson and Fred Gibson have joined a line-up of motorracing legends set to attend the Historic Leyburn Sprints for 70th anniversary celebrations of the Australian Grand Prix next month. Johnson, now 74, and Gibson, 78, will participate in a variety of meet-and-greet activities with fans at the 17-18 August event. They will join 60s and 70s touring car contemporaries Colin Bond, John French, Kevin Bartlett, Bill Gates and others to commemorate Leyburn's hosting of the 1949 Australian Grand Prix. The visit will be the first for Melbournebased Gibson, but Johnson has been a Sprints regular in recent years, enjoying the grass-roots atmosphere and occasionally guest-driving a NASCAR-powered Ford Falcon XY GT on the 1.0 kilometre roundthe-houses course. "We're thrilled that Dick Johnson and Fred Gibson are coming to the Historic Leyburn Sprints," organising committee President Tricia Chant said. "Both had huge parts in the history of Australian touring car racing as drivers and team owners and have been recognised for their achievement with induction into the Supercars Hall of Fame.
"Dick started racing in a Holden FJ in 1964. After switching to Fords he won five Australian Touring Car Championships and three Bathurst 1000 races and remains in the Supercars championship with his DJR Team Penske, which is dominating results with its Ford Mustang this season - he needs no introduction to fans everywhere. "Fred is remembered as not only a successful driver of touring, sports and open-wheel cars, including winning the 1967 Gallaher 500 at Mount Panorama, but also as boss of the Nissan team that developed the all-conquering R32 Skyline GT-R known as Godzilla. In the hands of Jim Richards and Mark Skaife, this car won Bathurst in 1991 and 1992 and became one of the most iconic cars in touring car history." Ms Chant said other stars of yesteryear who had agreed to attend the Sprints included drivers Brian Michelmore, Jim Bertram, Bruce Richardson, Don Holland, Bruce Allison, John English and event promoter David Harding. They will take part in a number of activities including autograph sessions and parade laps on both days, as well as guestjudging the Shannons Show 'n' Shine and Vintage Caravan competitions. "Being the event that Leyburn is, you are more than likely to run into any of these guys throughout the weekend, as they wander the precinct enjoying the atmosphere," Ms Chant said. This year's 24th annual Historic Leyburn
Sprints is expected to attract more than 200 vintage, classic and modern cars for two days of time trials. The field will include an original 1949 grand prix entry, an MG TB to be driven by Colin Schiller. The Sprints also promises a packed weekend of off-track attractions. The popular Vintage Caravan display and Sunday's Shannons Show 'n' Shine line-up of classic road cars and motorcycles are crowd favourites, along with market stalls and food and drink outlets. Adult tickets will be on sale at the gate at $20 per day or $30 for the weekend. Children aged under 14 will be admitted free. Gates open at 6.30am daily and racing starts at 8am. Tourism and Events Queensland's Queensland Destination Events Program and Southern Downs Regional Council provide financial assistance to help promote the Sprints and attract visitors to the Southern Downs region. The event was named Queensland Motor Sport Event of the Year 2017. ●

COMMUNITY TREE CONNECTS TOWN This year the theme for the tree jumper exhibition during Jumpers and Jazz in July is Connect. This theme has broad appeal, as we are all connected. The tree at the corner of Fitzroy and Palmerin streets, adjacent to the War Memorial, has over a short time, due to the enthusiasm of a group of friends, become a community tree. Members of the community are invited to put together lengths of up to a metre of chain. The chain represents how we are all connected. Materials used may vary according to what you can access. It is not necessary to be a great knitter or crochet artist. That is left to the experts, who have developed their skills over the years. The tree jumpers are just amazing. Contributions to the Community Tree so far include milk bottle tops, plastic bags, metal washers ... the list of possibilities is endless. A chain just needs to be able to withstand wind and possible rain (if only!). The Community Tree is for everyone. Just make a chain out of something and bring it along on the morning of 17 July and stay to help dress the Community Tree. “We are not aiming for prizes,” said coordinator Clare Cotton. “We are simply encouraging involvement from people who love the exhibition but do not have

From demonstrations and vintage displays to storytelling and talent quests, Allora will mark 150 years of local government, since the proclamation of its municipality, with a huge line-up of special events over two full days from 20-21 July. The region surrounding Allora was first explored by Europeans in the 1840s and the town was surveyed in 1859. Its name is believed to derive from an Aboriginal word "gnarrallah", meaning waterhole or swampy place. The municipality of Allora was formed in 1869, hence 150 year celebration. Hosted by Allora and District Historical Society, friends, residents and family members from near and far are invited to "come home to Allora" to help mark the occasion and share in generational tales of the much-loved town. Allora and District Historical Society President Lyn Wright said that she was happy to see many community members come together to help create the special event. "The people of the district have come together to contribute to this 150 Year Celebration in various ways - sponsorship and donations either cash or kind; participation in an event or organising of an event; advertising in promotion of the event; offering use of power or premises for vendors or displays; volunteering to act as parade marshals, act as MC, conduct roving mike; members of local churches offering to open their historic buildings; and tradespeople coming to display and demonstrate," Lyn said. "We believe that the official opening of the event by the Governor of Queensland is a very significant event, also acknowledging the contribution of the State Government towards the refurbishment of the Shire Chamber building. "The parade has created great interest with a great number of participants - vintage cars, penny farthing bicycles, old machinery, horse drawn carriages, local service clubs and groups dressing up.

"We consider that the bullock crossing by Rohan Morris of Eden farms is an exciting re-enactment of Allora's early beginnings on the supply route from Ipswich to the newly settled Downs." Lyn said that Allora has a large history of musical talent. "We have a fine line up of musicians and
singers to entertain during the day," she said. "Families can also visit the Family History museum to talk to the ADHS Research Officer. "There is also great interest in the Pioneer Dinner which is close to selling out and the Poet's Breakfast which is selling fast."

APPEAL OPTIONS CONSIDERED BY JEREMY SOLLARS Neighbours adjoining a massive commercial and retail development approved by the Southern Downs Regional Council for the southern end of Albion Street near the intersection with Wood Street in Warwick still have the right to appeal conditions of the approval. Councillors at their June monthly meeting approved the plan by local builder and developer Matthew Collins for the project to be branded ‘Albion Central’, comprising a range of potential uses listed in application documents as a “shop, office, showroom, food and drink outlet, low impact industry, health care services, entertainment activity and garden centre�.
The development will see the removal of existing residences at 74-80 Albion Street and an adjoining residence to the rear at 23 Oak Avenue. Nearby residents’ concerns related primarily to the height and scale of the proposed development and potential impacts of stormwater drainage on neighbouring properties but a number were understood to be supportive, providing the council set appropriate conditions. Another area of concern for surrounding residential properties is the proposed traffic access to the site, which would in part be from the relatively narrow Oak Avenue, which public submissions stated is effectively a “single-lane� roadway. Concept drawings and plans provided
to the council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) as part of the application indicated the development would comprise relatively large-scale ‘showroom’ style buildings fronting Albion Street. These would surround a central carparking area comprising a total of 64 parking spaces, with a “primary� “left-in, left-out� access driveway on Albion Street, and a “secondary� and “all movements� access driveway on Oak Avenue. Adjoining property owner Wayne Lawler said he would consider his appeal options but this week told the Free Times an increased three-metre setback of the development from the northern boundary of his heritage-listed ‘Aberfoyle’ home at
the corner of Albion and Wood Streets was welcomed, along with the reduction of the new building adjoining that boundary to a single storey. But he said he would be interested to see which businesses would eventually occupy the development, which has the potential for up to 20 tenancies of between 50 and 300sqm, especially with plans afoot to re-develop the former Bunnings site on Palmerin Street, and some 15 vacant retail premises in the main Warwick CBD. The Brisbane-based owners of the former Bunnings site are taking it to the market for sale or lease with the intention of offering four new retail tenancies and possibly a cafĂŠ. â—?

HELPING TO MASTER SPEAKING SKILLS McDonald’s Stanthorpe has donated $2000 to sponsor a six-week communication and leadership course to be conducted by Stanthorpe Toastmasters. Trevor Burton, owner of McDonald’s Stanthorpe, said that when he heard about the idea of this leadership course, he knew it was something McDonald’s really needed to get behind.
“I am a huge fan of Toastmasters and what the organisation does for people around the world and when I heard they were condensing several years’ worth of content down into a short course, I knew it was something the community would embrace.” Tony Hassall, who will coordinate the course, said that Toastmasters had made a
huge positive impact on his life. “Before I joined Toastmasters, I would be too nervous to say what I thought in a room full of people,” he said. “Nowadays I have no problem standing in front of a room full of people and speaking with conviction.” Toastmaster Alyssa Dunn said she liked the supportive assistance members provided and through receiving helpful feedback her
skills and confidence had improved. “The meetings inspire me and I have met many interesting people” she said. Mr Hassall said that the course would be designed to meet the needs of each individual through the Toastmasters Pathways program. Anyone interested please contact Julia Hassall on 07 4684 1322 or 0488 297 956. ●
OPINION - WHAT IS SDRC’S TRUE FINANCIAL POSITION? This region is in the grips of one of the worst droughts on record and the town water supply is set to run out at the end of the year. ALL ratepayers across the Southern Downs are facing the possibility of paying an emergency water levy to cover the cost of bringing in water by truck. The big question on most people's lips is why should ratepayers be burdened with this levy when they are already struggling to pay rates? Rural residents not connected to town water are forced to monitor their water use or risk paying large amounts of money to purchase their own water supply? Our largest industry and employer is agriculture and a number of farmers will not be planting this summer. This will lead to job losses and reduced employment hours with the effects rippling through the whole community. Household budgets are already pushed to the limit and I fear that this levy will be the straw that breaks some of our vulnerable community members backs.
So, how will the water be paid for? In an article in the Warwick Daily News in 2018, Mayor Tracy Dobie stated, "AFTER two years of tightening the belt, Southern Downs Regional Council has announced it is ready to loosen the purse strings and increase spending. With $35 million in cash reserves and debt at a new low, mayor Tracy Dobie said there would be a new focus on projects." During the financial analysis carried out on the Southern Downs Regional Council for the de-amalgamation proposal it was found that the audited cash and reserves balance as at June 2018 was $50.3m. Of this the audited statements show that staff leave provisions were $4.6m, internally constrained reserves for future capital were $2.9m and a provision for Refuse Restoration was $4m. This adds up to under a quarter of the available cash. QTC advise that Councils should have 3 months cash available for paying bills and wages,
which would keep $13.3m aside. This still leaves half the cash, or $25m uncommitted. Against this council have around $20m in debt. This is like a household having a $200,000 mortgage and $500,000 in the bank, while crying poor. What is this slush fund for if not to service the needs of the residents, it is our money after all? Can council legally put a levy on ratepayers when there is cash reserves? Now I know that as stated by CEO, Mr Keenan in an article in the Stanthorpe Border Post, "the term reserves itself is at times used to reference the amount of funds, cash and investments that an entity has at its disposal as opposed to the level of reserves that an entity has recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet. It depends on who is using the term and their understanding of financial terminology". I think that given Mr Spearritt's vast experience and qualifications we can safely presume he has an understanding of
financial terminology. So, why should struggling ratepayers be expected to fund this levy? Only one councillor, Vic Pennisi has constantly and actively advocated for water security for our region. What have the other councillors done, some of whom have been councillors for up to 20 years? If only they supported Cr Pennisi we may not be facing this looming disaster. Over the last ten years SDRC has collected $472,740,411.00 from ratepayers - yes that's right nearly half a billion dollars. If only some of this money had of been used for our water security how different would things be. Makes you wonder what that almost half a billion dollars was spent on, certainly not on maintaining and upgrading infrastructure or water security! Amanda Harrold, Stanthorpe

SENSOR TECH HELPS WITH MAPPING SOIL Grain growers may one day soon be able to map soil in their paddocks without sending a single sample to the laboratory thanks to the efforts of an innovative young researcher. Edward Jones is a postdoctoral research fellow from the University of Sydney, who is working on new technology with Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) investment, examining how sensors can be used to scan soil for properties such as clay content, water holding capacity, sodicity and pH. His work has shown that by using a range of sensors to scan multiple soilsamples across a paddock, it is possible to build an accurate digital soil mapidentifying variation within a paddock. GRDC Manager Agronomy, Soils and Farming Systems - North, John Rochecouste, said the ability to map soil types in paddocks, without sending samples to the laboratory, would be an invaluable management tool for grain growers and potentially save them significant costs. "Soil properties do not change rapidly, so once growers have developed a digital map it would become an important tool to guide their decision making and importantly it would not need to be updated annually," Dr Rochecouste said. "Soil properties don't change significantly for pretty much decades, if not longer, unless there has been major intervention such as incorporating significant amounts of
lime or gypsum. "Things like sodicity and clay content are pretty fixed without intervention. While pH can decrease (acidify) gradually with time, but essentially they are pretty much fixed properties. "Nutritional element can vary significantly over seasons so that's why nutritional sampling is treated differently. To 3D characterise a paddock is very expensive in terms of sampling costs, so this work by Dr Jones is looking at significantly reducing this expense. "Knowing your soil characteristics across a paddock, and the variation within paddocks, is invaluable information and really is the foundation for effective crop planning and management." However, there is a series of complex steps required to develop sensors which can effectively calculate soil properties. "To be able to predict properties of a new soil sample you must first build a soilspectral library. Fortunately, the University of Sydney has been stockpiling soil samples from research projects dating back decades," Dr Jones said. "So far in the project we have delved deep into this stockpile and scanned more than 8000 samples, primarily from the wheatsheep belt of eastern Australia." The digital soil scientist said when samples were scanned with one of the sensors, they produced a unique response, like a spectral fingerprint. From here he
has been able to build models using the samples in the spectral library to estimate the properties of new samples that were scanned. "The most exciting thing has been the speed at which this technology is developing. One of the sensors I am using is a visible near-infrared spectrometer - the same technology used to estimate grain protein and moisture content at receival depots," Dr Jones said. "When I started my PhD in 2014 one sensor was the size of a briefcase and cost around US$60,000. A sensor that I am currently testing is the size of a deck of cards and costs only US$3000." He said the next generation sensor was the size of a postage stamp and could be incorporated into a phone case and run using a smart phone. The same sensor could also be used to scan plant leaves to diagnose a range of nutrient deficiencies. "I am very excited for the day that this technology is widely available to growers and advisers, because getting as much information that you can about your soil is crucial to good crop management," Dr Jones said. "Understandably the sensor does have its limitations. Everybody wants to be able to predict plant available nitrogen, but the technology is not advanced enough at this stage. "Some private companies are saying that they can predict all of a crop's nutritional
requirements from a single scan and this is simply not true." Dr Jones advised growers to exercise caution with any organisations claiming fertiliser recommendations could be made using sensor technology. "At the moment, the sensor technology is not advanced enough to assess fertility management, so for that sort of information growers need to keep sending samples to the laboratory for accurate assessment." Dr Jones has been trialling the new sensors and digital soil mapping techniques at the US's northern New South Wales L'lara research property at Narrabri. His plan is to showcase these digital technologies destined for broadacre agriculture to growers, farm advisers and industry stakeholders at a field day in early 2020. ●
SORGHUM PERFORMANCE REPORT RELEASED - IT’S DOMINANT The GRDC has released the first National Variety Trials Hybrid Sorghum Performance Report to enhance variety decision making by growers in northern Australia. Drawing on data generated from the first two years of NVT sorghum trials in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, the report was released at the 2019 Australian Summer Grains Conference on the Gold Coast. Sorghum was included in the NVT program for the first time in 2017-18 in response to grower requests for independent variety performance data to underpin informed choices around the most appropriate hybrid grain sorghum varieties to plant in their paddocks. Trials have been conducted at 21 locations in Central Queensland, Southern Queensland, Northern NSW, the Liverpool
Plains and at Kununurra in WA. GRDC Board Chair John Woods, a northern region grain grower, says the release of the inaugural NVT Hybrid Sorghum Performance Report is a significant step in continuing to develop and improve the nation's sorghum production and grower profitability. "Sorghum is now the dominant summer crop in the northern region, so it is incredibly important that growers of this crop are provided with the data, information, knowledge and confidence required to extract optimum yield and profit from their sorghum cropping programs," Mr Woods says. "As a grower of sorghum, I was pleased to see it be the first summer crop added to the types tested through NVT, which will improve our understanding of sorghum's

performance in a range of environmental situations. "And I certainly welcome publication of this report which will no doubt become an important resource for growers and advisers. "I thank everyone involved in producing this report, including the growers who willingly host trials on their properties and the breeding companies who have participated in the NVT sorghum program over the past two summer cropping seasons," Mr Woods says. GRDC NVT Manager - North, Laurie Fitzgerald, says the new report is being mailed to growers and is also available at www.nvtonline.com.au/sorghum/. Copies are being distributed at this week's Summer Grains Conference. "The report captures data from two summer cropping seasons - 2017-18 and 2018-19 - both of which were hot and extremely dry across the north," Mr Fitzgerald says. "As a result of the harsh conditions, not all sorghum trials over the past two seasons were harvested. Central Queensland (CQ) was among the regions hardest hit by the lack of moisture, with none of the NVT sorghum trials planted in that region in 2019 meeting rigorous NVT standards. NVT data has, however, been captured from four sorghum trials planted in CQ in 2017-18. "The overall dataset from the past two seasons of the NVT sorghum program across the northern region has been deemed sufficiently robust to enable publication of the performance report." Mr Fitzgerald reminds growers and advisers that the predicted yield values that appear in the Hybrid Sorghum Performance Report are from only two seasons and should be taken in context. "These values may not be representative of the long-term seasonal conditions
experienced by growers in various regions." Sorghum has been traditionally used as feed by domestic livestock industries, but more recently there has been an increasing interest in the grain for use in ethanol production and for human consumption. It is now one of the 10 major crop types in the NVT program - the others being wheat, barley, canola, chickpeas, faba beans, field peas, lentils, lupins and oats. The largest co-ordinated field trial network of its kind in the world, NVT is a 100 per cent GRDC investment that is fully administered by the GRDC on behalf of Australian grain growers and the Australian Government. A national program of comparative crop variety testing with standardised trial management, data generation, collection and dissemination, NVT seeks to assist growers to optimise the profitability of their farming systems through choosing the most appropriate varieties for their growing environments. More than 550 near-release or released varieties are evaluated within hundreds of trials across the country each year, generating highly valuable comparisons for variety agronomic performance, grain yields, disease and pest resistance and physical grain quality traits. NVT accepts lines into the program for testing two years prior to their commercial release.

DROUGHT REVIEW RELEASE The Queensland Farmers' Federation (QFF) has welcomed the release of the Queensland Drought Program Review and the opportunity to continue working with the state government to get the right policy settings for the sector to help farmers better prepare for and manage through droughts. The independent expert panel, consisting of former QFF CEO Ruth Wade and former AgForce CEO Charles Burke, made 20 recommendations of which the Queensland Government accepted 13 outright and another six in principle. QFF President Stuart Armitage thanked the panel for their wideranging consultation with industry and regional communities, welcomed their considered recommendations and appealed to the Queensland Government to ensure it provided appropriate levels of ongoing support to implement the recommendations. "QFF has long held the view that the state's current drought framework is out of date. Various elements have not helped farmers to better prepare for or manage drought," Mr Armitage said. "Many of these recommendations reflect the sensible drought reform that QFF has
been advocating for to assist farmers bolster their adaptation capabilities and build greater resilience into their businesses." "Drought reform is never easy for farmers or government, so this review is an important step towards realising a better prepared and more robust sector." "We must now ensure we get the settings and implementation of the replacement programs right. Encouragingly, the government recognises that means working through the detail with Queensland's many agricultural industries." "It also means government has to adopt a more proactive approach to investing in the sector, as the success of any drought
framework or related challenge, such as the water-energy-climate nexus, are determined by the genuine ability of farm businesses to be prepared." "With droughts predicted to be more frequent and intense in the future, this review must be the start of an ongoing and regular discussion that enables effective drought policy outcomes." Growcom's say ... The Queensland Drought Program Review released late last week and its associated recommendations are an important step in the right direction. Most importantly for horticulture, the Review has recognised that producers in industries other than extensive livestock production have for too long been ignored in terms of the assistance offered by government. "This Review could not have come sooner. Fruit and vegetable growers are no less affected by this devastating drought than any other primary producer. It's time drought policy and programs became more equitable," said Growcom CEO David Thomson. ● · For more information on the review visit www.daf.qld.gov.au

FOCUS ON … Tax Time
DEALING WITH AN UNREGISTERED AGENT As tax-time begins, the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) is warning the public about the risk of using unregistered tax agents. It follows cases of agents posing as legitimate registered tax practitioners who lodge tax returns on behalf of clients, often by accessing their myGov accounts and lodging through myTax. In a recent case, clients of one unregistered agent were subject to potentially millions of dollars in tax bills and penalties by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Before you sit down to do your tax, you'll need to gather all the right information. Here's what you'll need to complete your tax return. · Payment summaries or income statements - Outlines the income you have received from your employer, super fund or government payment like Centrelink and the Department of Veterans Affairs. · Bank statements - Details any interest you have earned during the period and fees you have paid. Your bank may have summarised these for you, either online or at the bottom of your bank statement. · Shares, unit trusts or managed funds statements - Information on dividends or distributions you've received. Dividends that you've elected to reinvest must be declared as income. · Buy and sell investment statements -

TIPS FROM THE TPB THIS TAX TIME · Check your tax practitioner is registered on the public register at www.tpb.gov.au/ search-register. · Never share your myGov password with anyone - doing so puts your personal information at risk. · You should not be charged by anyone to lodge or prepare your tax return through your myGov account. ●

Needed to calculate capital gains and losses. If you bought or sold any shares you can access the details on your online broking account or you can get them from your investment adviser or stockbroker. · Records from your rental property - If you use a property manager, you will probably get an annual tax statement that details income and expenses. Otherwise you will need to gather details of income received and expenses paid, including any capital gains or capital losses if you have sold the property. · Foreign income - Details of foreign pensions or other foreign income. · Private health insurance statement Information needed to complete the private health insurance section of your tax return. This year, health insurers are no longer required to send you a
statement unless you request it. Instead, the information will be pre-filled into your tax return through myGov by 20 July.
CHANGES TO PAYMENT SUMMARIES ... · This year you might not receive a payment summary from your employer. Many employers are now required to report their employees' pay, tax and super information directly to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Most employers have until 31 July to do this. · If you use a tax agent, they will be sent a direct link to your information, so they can lodge your return as normal. · If you lodge your own tax return, you can access your payment summary (now called an income statement) through myGov. The ATO will send a message to your myGov inbox when it's ready. ●

TPB CEO, Mr Michael O'Neill, said "Members of the community and tax practitioners frequently report information about the unlawful activities of unregistered agents." "The TPB take this intelligence very seriously and are currently investigating 37 cases. The worst cases will be brought to the Federal Court of Australia for prosecution." Unregistered agents often try to convince potential clients that they can obtain unrealistically large tax refunds. "If it sounds too good to be true, it

THE SPIN
MAROONS’ RESOLVE IS TESTED It is that time of year when I put the finishing touches on Spin hoping that when it lands at your place on Thursday that I am celebrating a Maroons victory. Unfortunately in game two that was far from the case. That game tested the resolve of every true Maroon and will no doubt go down in history as the worst game ever for Queensland. I hope it remains that way so that I and the rest of the Maroon supporters never have to endure anything worse than Game Two 2019. It hasn't been plain sailing for the Queensland side heading into game three and as this goes to print there is a very ominous cloud hanging over the fitness of Matt Gillett which does not fill me with confidence. More bad news when we woke on Tuesday morning to the news that Ash Barty's run of wins had come to an end and she would not be lifting the Wimbledon Trophy this year. In Barty style she was gracious in defeat but I didn't hear one Disney quote in her press conference. Perhaps they are reserved for press conferences after wins. Of course it means there is one less channel I have to surf to keep up with the Aussie. I am loving the Southern Stars run in the Ashes and looking forward to the Aussies v England World Cup game. Believe it or not I have opted to voluntarily head into enemy territory for Origin Three. An invitation to Grafton for the Ramornie and Grafton Cup Carnival was met with an immediate "great". Not until much later did I realise I will be shoulder to shoulder with the enemy watching Origin 111. Come on Kevvie's boys do for Queensland and keep my partners in crime and I safe in Grafton. Up the Maroons; the Southern Stars and the Aussie cricketers. - Casey CASEY'S NRL SELECTIONS All things NRL tipping seem to be going from bad to worse for me this season. AS a Broncos supporter since day one not even I could envisage their win last week and while it was a pleasing change I doubt the coach saw that one coming. the Sharks certainly didn't. At least there has been one constant this season - aside from there is no form line to follow is the performance of the Melbourne Storm. Cam Smith continues to defy the odds and this weekend runs out for a record NRL game no 400. I doubt 3even Sharks supporters would deny him a win in that game. His record is all the more remarkable if you add in rep games which bring his record to something like 502. That is an insane figure and his win loss ratio is only bettered I think by that of his Coach Craig Bellamy. This week post Origin 111 anything could happen. Round 16 Panthers; Sea Eagles; Warriors; Storm; Roosters; Eels; Raiders RECOGNITION DESERVED There was a great post script to the 2019 Confraternity Shield for Mick Mahoney manager of the 2019 Assumption College side. Although Assumption did not bring home any silverware this year they played some good football in great spirit and won several of their games.

POLO COMES TO OUR BACKYARD Polo fans will be treated to a veritable feast of entertainment over the coming weeks as the Downs Polo Club host three successive tournaments at the Clifton Recreation Grounds. This weekend polo players will travel from as far afield as Beaudesert and Goondiwindi to compete for the Cooke/ O’Leary Shield. The following weekend the club will host the two days Silver Shop Bracelet Tournament and that will be followed by the Sapphire Shield which will be decided after a weekend of competition on July 27 and 28. This weekend's action gets underway from 9.00am on both Saturday and Sunday with a BBQ and bar operating at the ground. Patrons are welcome to also bring along their own lunch and enjoy a Picnic at the Polo each Sunday. The three weeks of Polo will calumniate with the final day of the Sapphire Shield, on July 2 and is expected to attract polo enthusiasts from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, as well as across the Southern Downs region. If you have not been to a Polo game or if you are already an enthusiast grab a group of friends enjoy the spectacle of horse and rider as they compete in our own backyard. Further information is available by contacting the Downs Polo Club on 0477 280 430 or visit their Facebook page. A NEW FACE JOINS ASSOCIATION CROQUET The Association Croquet players were back on court on Tuesday. Although not new to Croquet, Eric McLellan was a new face among the group as he took a look at the Association Croquet game for the first time. Andrea Denkewitz was on hand to show McLellan the ropes in his first match. Denkewitz and McLellan played Peter Tunbridge and Grace Howard.
Thursday, 11 July, 2019
Andrea played well and recorded a break of three hoops in a row and a 'peel' (two balls through the hoop together). Grace Howard also played well and had a handy break of four hoops. In a close game McLellan and Denekwitz scored an 18-16 win and it certainly was not a case of beginners luck. Meanwhile Jenny Tunbridge and Joy Newman had a 20-14 win over Effey Russell and Heather Widderick. Golf Croquet is the discipline of choice on Wednesday morning at the Stanthorpe Croquet courts and in game one game, Shirley Page, Di Wren and Eric McLellan played the combination of Kath Hopgood and Liz Ellway. Hopgood and Ellway had a convincing 13-8 win. In game two the teams were shuffled and Liz Ellway joined Shirley Page and Kath Hopgood in a game against Eric McLellan and Di Wren. In a low scoring affair McLellan played very well and he and his partner scored a 7-2 win. As Stanthorpe dialled the temperature down on Thursday morning in preparation for the Snowflakes Festival the Ricochet Croquet group hit the court for their weekly matches. Only four players braved the very cool conditions. Andrea Denkewitz and Peter Tunbridge played Jenny Tunbridge and Marion McCulloch. Andrea who had played well earlier in the week in other disciplines continued her good form on Thursday scoring and scored a break of three hoops in a row. She and her playing partner went on to win 14-7. By mid morning the condition on court had deteriorated and the group wisely chose to abandon play. SPONSOR ON THE MONEY FOR MEDAL Stanthorpe Golfers approached Saturday's July Monthly Medal and putting event with a wary eye on the weather with the prediction of possible rain. Hallelujah said some while others were optimistic about the prospect of rain but less enthusiastic. In the end however as has been the case so often there was no rain and the event proceeded in fine but very cool conditions. Mick O'Brien found the conditions to his liking returning the best of the day - nett 73 to qualify for the Medal of Medallist round later in the year.
Ironically Mick O'Brien was the sponsor of Saturday's event and declined to accept the winner's booty passing the honour down the line. Mark Hendry finished one shot behind O'Brien on nett 74 and collected the winner's spoils. It has not taken Bill Pyne long to hit his straps after his layoff. He also finished with nett 74 but went down in a count back but was happy to accept the prize for runner up. Matt Waterworth returned the lowest gross score of 78 for the men went to Matt in the Men's competition - 78 and also won the Dale Mullins Trophy. Putting honours were shared by Scott Constable, Bill Pyne, Mark Hendry and Matt Waterworth; 28 for the round. Pin shots went to Matt Waterworth (3); Simon Shannon (12) and Mark McCosker (17). Richard Reardon collected the pro-pin at 1/10 and Tod Beckett at 5/14. Matt Waterworth also featured in the run down as did Kev Rowling featured in the run down. Kay Webb has been knocking at the door and returned to the winner's circle with the lowest nett score in the Ladies event. Runner up was Shaneen McLellan. Trish Fittock (31) had least putts in the Ladies round and she also collected the ticket for nearest approach at 17. Nikki Waterworth collected a ball in the ladies run up. Lowest gross score of 78 for the men went to Matt Waterworth and he also won the Dale Mullins Trophy for this year. Putting honours were shared with Scott Constable, Bill Pyne, Mark Hendry and Matt Waterworth all requiring 28 putts for the round. On a day where scores were slightly higher than usual it was interesting that all bar one of the men playing returned better scores on the back nine than the front nine. Ironically the trend was reversed in the Ladies event. Does that mean the course is playing a gender bias and will players know which nine to work next time? Only time and results will tell. This week Reece Plumbing sponsor a Single Stableford competition. The event is scheduled to be played over 18 holes and tee off commences from 11.00 am. There is a time sheet for this event on the board at the club and members are asked to put their names down to assist catering arrangements. TRL LEADBOARD BATTLE The battle for the top five positions on the TRL leader board continued in earnest last weekend. Wattles returned to the top of the table after an impressive win over Highfields on their home turf last Saturday night. Valleys who had the bye last week now sit in second spot. Warwick is back in winning form after their win over the Dalby Diehards on Saturday night at Fr Ranger Oval. With the win the Cowboys jumped into third spot and relegated Dalby to fourth. The Goondiwindi Boars cemented their spot in the top five with a big win over Oakey. David Armstrong scored seven tries as the Boars thrashed Oakey 90-10. South's have their eye on a final's berth in 2019. Last weekend they scored a 16-6 win over Brothers and are sitting in sixth spot on the ladder two points clear of Gatton. Not a situation many predicated early in the season. This weekend South's face a big test when they head to head with competition front runners Wattles at Clive Berghofer Stadium. freetimes.com.au

The Cowboys will be looking for another win when they play Oakey who will have the home town advantage. Fresh from their bye Valleys travel to Dalby to take on the Diehards on Sunday in what looks a close game on paper. Gatton and Highfields will be hoping to improve their position in the standings with a win on Saturday while this week the Boars have a bye. With four regular fixture rounds to play following this weekend where teams will finish at the start of the finals is very much anyone's guess.

After returning the best Gross score in Saturday's club competition Matt Waterworth had the Best Gross score at Sporters. Mark Lynam claimed the Pro Pin.

Winners of E/W were Margaret Finlay and Keith Barnett first and Helen Reeves and John Fernie in second place. WATTLES DEFENCE PLEASES COACH Wattles snatched top spot on the TRL leader board with an impressive win against Highfields on Saturday night at the Hawk's Kuhl's Road home ground. In cold conditions Wattles showed why they are one of the best attacking sides in the 2019 competition scoring eight tries to their opponent's one. Despite the dominant score line it was the defence of the Wattles led by forwards Dale Perkins and Michael Perkins that had their coach Travis Burns excited. Nick Van De Poel took just 44 seconds to post Wattles first points and Wattles never took a backward step in attack in what was a try fest. Andrew Richardson ran in four tries while Braydon Wilson who has been a try scoring machine this season scored another two tries in this game. That takes his tally for the season to 21. Wattles led 22-6 at the half time break and the Wattles defence prevented Highfields from crossing the chalk again as they continued to repel the Hawk's very physical attack in the second half. In the end the class of the Wattle's side prevailed as they ran in a further four tries in the second half. Dale Perkins was rewarded for his solid effort in defence with maximum points for the Webcke Price Medal. The game was tougher than the score line indicated and the Coach was pleased with the performance of his side as the TRL heads into the business end of the season. In earlier games Highfields were too good for Wattles in Reserve Grade scoring a 26-6

Webcke Price Medal. Prop Jared Bradfield and full back Craig Donn also had excellent games. In a beaten side Blake Mara and Steve Franciscus were best for the Diehards. In a show of outstanding sportsmanship three Cowboys players assisted injured Dalby player and their goal kicker Dylan Taylor from the field when he was injured in the game. Interestingly the three players who were quick to jump and help were also three of the Cowboys best on the day, Jarred Bradfield, Joe Fuimaono and Craig Donn. That level of sportsmanship has unfortunately disappeared from the game. Well done fellas. In the curtain raiser games Dalby had more success defeating Warwick in Reserve Grade (35-18) and Under 18 (18-16). A GRADE Warwick 22 (Harry Sullivan, Jordyn Hogden, Sam Broomhall, Joe Fuimaono tries Mick Bloomfield 3 goals) defeated Dalby 18 (Dan Manley, Blake Mara, Xavier Manley tries Dylan Taylor 3 goals) BLU CRU OCEANIA JUNIOR CUP RETURNS The bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup made a return to Morgan Park for round three of its inaugural season and fans were not disappointed. All eyes were on Angus Grenfell and Jacob Roulstone and both riders had success over the weekend. Grenfell took out race two while Roulstone won the opening race and then stole race three from his rival in what was an exciting finish. Grenfell and Roulstone battled throughout the six laps for first place, with Thompson sitting milliseconds behind, patiently waiting for his moment to capitalise. With little chance of an outsider stealing away a spot in the top three, riders fought tooth and nail for fourth place. Marianos “Nos” Nikolis held the position at first, followed by Alex KenworthyHeading into the final lap, it was McDonald who clinched the fourth spot, crossing the finish line with just shy of six seconds separating him from first place. It was tantalising finish to a superb battle, with less than one second separating the top three, Roulstone who took out first place, followed by Grenfell and Thompson. After the victory Roulstone said, "It was a pretty good weekend on the Yamaha YZF-R15. In the first race I got a pretty good win! Second race didn't go to plan but in the third race I learnt from my mistakes and won that one! "It feels really good to be a Round winner this weekend and it gives me a lot of confidence going into the next weekend at Winton." ●

COWBOYS BACK IN SADDLE AFTER WIN The Warwick Cowboys hosted Dalby the match of the round with both teams clambering for points on the TRL leader board. After a great start to the season the Cowboys appeared to suffer a mid season form stutter but on Saturday night showed real grit to edge out a determined Dalby side in a game that saw the lead swing from team to team. Dalby opened the scoring when centre Dan Manley crossed and Dylan Taylor converted. In a sign of how the game was going to flow the Cowboys hit back quickly with a try to halfback Harry Sullivan. Cowboys captain Mick Bloomfield assumed the kicking duties and levelled the score at six all. Sullivan showed his speed and defensive skills to run down Corey Blades who looked certain to score. Dalby hooker Danny Wassell was pulled down inches from the line in the last play of the set. The Cowboys took play to the other end of the field and shortly before the half time break scored to take a 10-6 lead. The game was shaping as a real arm wrestle and after the break the Cowboys hit the ground full of running. Dalby was forced to pay for an error early in the second half as Cowboy's lock Sam Broomhall pounced on a ball and scored extending the margin to 16-6 in Warwick's favour. Despite a 10 point margin there was nothing in this game and there was no room for complacency from either side. Dalby dug in and were rewarded with two quick tries. On the back of two successful conversions the Diehards hit the front taking an 18-16 lead however there would be more twists and turns to come before full time. The Dalby defence was unrelenting and the Cowboys saw little ball for long periods of the second half. Although starved of possession for long periods in the game Warwick remained patient and stuck to their game plan. When they finally saw their share of the ball, the Cowboy's put Dalby under attack the Dalby and the defence finally cracked. The Cowboy's composure paid dividends when centre Joe Fuimaono scored. Bloomfield slotted the conversion, his third for the afternoon to give his side a 22-18 lead with less than five minutes remaining. The Cowboys successfully defended that slender lead until the full time siren. Mick Bloomfield was named Man of the Match and picked up three points in the
