Thank you for the support of our family and friends.
Netball took centre stage when Burren Junction Public School’s open team travelled to Yamba this week, with the beach as a perfect scenic backdrop to their shot at going for state glory.
The small school from the north west proved unstoppable once again in round three of the 2025 NSWPSSA Small Schools Netball Knockout Competition as they scored a dominant victory to book a ticket to the state finals in Sydney this September.
My name is Rob Bell, and I was born in East Bankstown (later Greenacre) in 1945, into a solid working-class family. By 1964, 5 years after leaving Punchbowl Boys High, I was requested by the local gendarmes to leave town. This was also issued to many of my friends who, like myself, travelled down the wrong roadway.
A friend who had been off the scene for a while was back in town and was going on about working on the railway as a fettler in a place called Burren Junction. Where the hell is B.J., we all cried, North West NSW, have you heard of Walgett? Well, it's this side of Walgett, and they are looking for workers.
So come Monday, we all troop down to Central Station (about 6 of us) for a medical and get the guts on this Fettler business. Being good, strong Aussie boys with an average age of around 20, we were in. Some of us were sent to Cryon and others to BJ.

โญAre you wanting to learn how to use a drone on your farm OR how to map your farm and utilise the data using a drone? Now’s your chance!
๐๐พ Drones are transforming modern agriculture — from precision crop mapping to smarter livestock management. With high-resolution aerial imaging and real-time data, farmers can monitor crop health, irrigation, and soil conditions while also tracking livestock, checking fences, and locating animals across large properties quickly and efficiently. This technology helps reduce costs, save time, improve yields, and support more sustainable farming practices. The future of farming is smarter, faster, and flying above us. ๐๐ #DroneTechnology #SmartFarming #PrecisionAgriculture #FarmMapping #LivestockManagement #AgTech #DroneTraining #Agriculture #FarmTech #SkillUp #TechInAg
