Team Brennan off to the NSW Golf Open
By A.J. Cross
Weather permitting, local professional Andrew Brennan
will be competing at the NSW Golf Open this week after
being listed in the top five trainee graduates in Australia
over the past two years.
The 2016 Walcha Club Champion accepted an invitation
to nominate for the tournament starting on Thursday
at Concord in Sydney which has attracted prizemoney
totalling $400,000 and will be accompanied by his father
Wayne who is going to be his caddie.
This will be A.J’s second NSW Open after he played his
first Tour event back in 2019 and he has also competed
in the past two Queensland Opens, making the cut last
year where he finished 2 under par for the 72 holes in
32nd position on the leaderboard.
Back in 2016 Andrew teamed up with his father to win
the NSW 4BBB Sandgreen Championships at Hay, so
teamwork shouldn’t be a problem for the ‘Dynamic Duo’
over the next few days.

The rainfall on the mid-north coast this last week has been mind blowing
in magnitude and just highlights how powerful the forces of nature can
OK EARTHMOVING be. It also exposes us for how vulnerable we are when these events
occur. The flooding in NSW is a once in a lifetime experience for many
and one I am sure they don’t want to repeat. I do wonder how bad it might
PH 6777 7430 FAX 6777 7448 have been on the mid-north coast if in the tablelands, we had received a
lot of rain before them, but that wasn’t an issue. The flooding was caused
• Earthworks • Road Construction • Erosion Work • largely by heavy, local rainfall. I must say the images of livestock dead
• Stick Raking • Dam building • on beaches and animals disoriented as they get spun out of the torrent
PETER O’KEEFE: 0429 944 821 JASON HOY: 0437 277 197 far away from their paddocks are tough to look at. One farmer from
around Taree was interviewed on Saturday and he had something like
190 cattle swept away. The sheer volume of water right up and down the
coast of NSW is hard to comprehend. Underneath that water will be a lot
of damage to infrastructure and ruined dreams which will appear from
beneath the surface in the coming week or so. Apparently the rain will
stop from Wednesday and we will go back to some sunny weather for a
while. Thirty degrees forecast for the coast on Friday!
There have been some videos online from various parts of the coast
which do highlight just how much water is around. The one I saw of Port
Macquarie was amazing with much of the river frontage on both sides
of the Hastings, well under water and many buildings inundated. You
can’t help but feel for the occupants of those buildings, whether they are
businesses or residential. One very well known restaurant on Hastings
River Drive, Whalebone Wharf was totally ruined with the owner saying
they did not have flood insurance. There were shops flooded in the town
and some of the buildings to the west of town around West Port Bowling
Club. It is a mess. To the south of Port settlements along the Camden
Haven inlet are also in a world of hurt. As are many smaller communities
further west around Wauchope and south to Taree. Gloucester was also
badly flooded as water spilled across the flood plain there. Information
about these outlying towns and villages has been harder to find than that
of the big centres such as Port. But the losses will be just as hard felt and
CONTRACT communities will take some time to rebuild.
I have to say that so far we have been blessed by not having the heavy
BOOM rainfall that has been experienced in so many areas. Tamworth has had
a lot of rain in the last couple of weeks and we have had but a fraction of

their tallies. Further out, Moree, Walgett, Coonamble and even down as
far as Narromine, there has been quite a lot of rain in isolated areas. From
talking with people in these districts, they are now really looking forward
AVAILABLE to a bit of sunshine so they can get on with their winter crop planting. The
moisture profile is very good in many districts and it appears it will be
another big year for farmers who can get a crop in the ground.
It will be interesting to see how this weeks weather events affect markets.
I suspect it will have a big impact on some of the vegetables and fruits
as a lot of growing areas have been affected by flooding. I doubt it will
have any long lasting effect on livestock markets as the flooding has
largely been confined to the east of the ranges. The immediate impact
on Monday was to see most markets quoted dearer as buyers make
sure they have some stock in line to keep processing plants operating.
Cattle markets did not react as much as the sheep and lamb market, but
they were both positive. I am looking forward to hearing Simon Quilty’s
thoughts later this week about meat markets and where they may be
heading for the next 12 to 18 months. His insights in recent years have
proven to be very good and it will give us some direction at a time when
cattle prices are at record levels and sheep markets are strong, but
numbers are starting to rebuild quickly.
If your BAS is up to date and you are searching for something to watch
during this wet weather, I can recommend last weeks Landline program.
They were celebrating 30 years of the program and it contained some
great images of farming as well as some stories they have covered over
the years. It was well worth viewing and you can no doubt head to ABC

about agriculture, something we see far to little of.

New Tea House opens
A love of tea and unique gifts enticed Kerri Brazel to open her own Tea House last week
in Fenwicke House.
Fenwicke Tea House is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 4pm for delicious morning
and afternoon teas, as well as light lunches. “Our lunch menu includes quiches, soups
and sandwiches, which complement our vast range of teas,” Kerri said. Also available
are cold drinks and Kerri is serving Walcha Roasted Coffee from Cameron Hayton.
And not only is it a Tea House, but you can browse the large range of locally made jams,
chutneys, platters and personalised gifts. “Cathy Brooks is also stocking her unique
homewares, and there are earrings, frames and bath products which all make lovely
gifts for all ages,” Kerri commented.
Kerri is looking forward to welcoming families who would like to spoil their mum for
Mother’s Day with a High Tea. She is also looking to open for breakfast in the future.
Fenwicke House will re-open as a Bed & Breakfast as Kerri is currently putting the
finishing touches to two bedrooms upstairs, one with a king bed and ensuite; with the
second room featurng two king singles with a bathroom downstairs.
Kerri serves scones and tea last week to visitors

Get your calendar out and mark in Saturday 4th September
2021 for the second High Country Long Luncheon. The
inaugural event was held in April 2019 and was a roaring
success with around 300 people enjoying boutique gins, craft
beers, and a gourmet luncheon courtesy of local producers
prepared beautifully by Pronto catering in the stunning gardens
of Cairnie.
Wind the clock forward two years and following the drought,
bushfires, and COVID, tickets are expected to sell incredibly
fast.
The event is organised by the St Patrick’s P&F who have this
year received funding to host the lunch through the Bushfire
Community Recovery and Resilience Fund which will subsidise
the cost of the tickets without the committee approaching local
businesses for donations and support to hold the event.
An auction will be held on the day with some great prizes
rolling in already. All proceeds raised will be used to build a
playground for the students at the school.
The luncheon is funded through the Bushfire Community
Recovery and Resilience Fund Phase 2, a joint
Commonwealth-State fund through the Disaster Recovery
Funding Arrangements administered by Resilience NSW.
Tickets will be sold online and will be available closer to the
date with notices appearing on social media as well as in The
Advocate. Keep up to date by following highcountrylonglunch

Rate relief for Local Land
Services customers
Landholders across NSW will receive welcome news in their mailboxes over
the coming weeks, with their Local Land Services (LLS) rates showing a zero

LLS Chief Executive Officer, David Witherdin said the rate relief is part of the

the crucial support landholders need as they work towards drought recovery.
COMEDY WORKSHOP “This rate relief means landholders will still have access to our technical experts,
programs and training, while making valuable savings,” Mr Witherdin said.
“Rates are a vital source of funding for LLS, and they go a long way to supporting

By Dr Sharn Rocco
Just do it. Whatever it is you want to do, whatever it
is you know is calling you for your attention, just do it.
Quit the excuses. Silence the inner critic. Begin. And
begin again.
Practice. Whether you like it or not, feel like it or
not, just do it. That’s the secret, the magic, the key
to overcoming procrastination, getting things done
and loving the life we live. It’s all down to us, and our
willingness to step through our resistance, doubt, fears,
habitual distractions and indulgence of things that no
longer serve us well. Simply practice.
Practice makes magic happen, reveals secrets, unlocks us. That’s my
experience. When I just do it – go to my meditation cushion every day,
