I 'I L ,_ I • - 1 - 1 • INTRODUCTION Seasonal conditions were excellent for rice growing in the 1966-67 rice season. Cold weather in early October delayed the emergence of early aerial -sown crops. It was feared that due to very dry conditions in the previous winter water restrictions could be imposed. This led to an enormous increase in the area of aerial-sown rice. Generally the resulting yields were good but severe lodging made harvesting operations expensive. The Autumn was extremely dry and harvesting operations progressed uninterrupted. The area sown to rice increased to 73,669.4 acres, producing 210,939 tons of rice, averaging 2.863 ton/acre.

    COOTAMUNDRA WAR MEMORIAL ALBERT PARK – HOVELL STREET COOTAMUNDRA WORLD WAR 1 HONOUR ROLL Compilation by Kevin Casey, Breakfast Point 2012 COOTAMUNDRA WAR MEMORIAL – WORLD WAR 1 A marble obelisk and other memorials have been erected in Albert Park in memory of those citizens of Cootamundra and District who served and died in the defence of Australia during times of conflict. The names of many of those who served in World Wars 1 and 2 are engraved and highlighted in gold on the obelisk. This account has been prepared to provide a background to the men associated with the Cootamundra district who served and died in World War 1. While it is acknowledged that an exhaustive list of local men who served in the war has not been compiled, this account briefly highlights the family and military backgrounds of those who did and who are recorded on the obelisk. Other men not listed on the obelisk but who were associated with the district and who also served and died in the war have been identified in the course of the research. They are also included in this account. No doubt further research will identify more men. Hopefully this account will jog a few memories and inspire further research into the topic. An invitation is extended to interested people to add to the knowledge of those who served Those who served came from a wide range of backgrounds. A number of the men had long family associations with the district and many have family members who are still residents of the district.

Over 12,251 people have been tested for COVID-19 with the number of positive cases remaining at 45. The Murrumbidgee Mobile Testing Clinic continues to travel across the region to provide an opportunity for people to be tested locally. “The mobile clinic was established initially to be deployed to any COVID-19 hotspots,” explained MLHD”s Covid-19 Coordinator Emma Field, “We have received a great level of support as it traverses the region and increases public awareness about the importance of testing.” In addition to the mobile clinics, people are reminded that many towns have access to COVID-19 testing through their local General Practitioner (GP) and local clinics. GP-Led Respiratory Clinics have also been established in Gundagai, Young, Griffith, Wagga Wagga and Deniliquin. “Especially now that businesses are reopening and people are on the move, continued testing is critical to help minimise the risk of community to community transmission and to stop the spread,” added Ms Field. Anyone who feels unwell is invited to call the Murrumbidgee COVID hotline on 1800 831 099 to book a test. MOBILE TESTING CLINIC The Murrumbidgee Mobile Testing Clinic is in Gundagai and Moama today and will visit Temora and Ariah Park tomorrow.
