WIMBLEDON, England As the top-seeded Ashleigh Barty looked forward to Wimbledon this year, she also looked back half a century. To another Indigenous woman from Australia. To a groundbreaking Wimbledon title. And, ultimately, to a hemline.
The former world No.1 and Wiradjuri icon revealed how close she came to being removed from her family as a child and how it spurred her on to tennis greatness.
Narrandera Shire Council
Narrandera Shire Council is thrilled to announce seven new projects through the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program Phase Two totalling $819,975.
These works cover a variety of projects that will have a significant and positive impact on Narrandera Shire.
These projects include the construction of a revised Wiradjuri Wall in Marie Bashir Park. This project will be carried out with ongoing public consultation with our community to ensure the concept and construction produce a successful outcome we can all be proud of.
A new bike pump track will be constructed at Barellan for everyone – in particular our young people – to enjoy.
AustralianFarmers
Breweries of all sizes are increasingly dealing direct with barley growers and the simplified trading method is paying off for farmers like Chris and Samantha Greenwood.
Brewing giant Asahi made headlines recently when it re-wrote its supply chain arrangements so it could source 90 per cent of its malting barley direct from growers in New South Wales and Victoria.
This means Asahi will now source 40,000 tonnes of barley direct from seven growers in southern New South Wales with northern New South Wales growers expected to sign on before this year’s harvest.
A further 40,000 tonnes is also being sourced through 30 Victorian growers.
