Fawkner Park is the first horse for 35 years to win the Albury-Wagga Gold Cups double after taking out the MTC Wagga feature race before a huge crowd. Tyler Schiller returned home for the winning ride on the best prepared track in the country. Well done course manager Mark Hart

If you happen to see Bill Lane’s friendly face around town, either selling tickets at Lake Village or the Wagga Marketplace, please spare some change. It’s for a great Mother’s Day competition for a very worthy cause, supporting Can Assist.

A fantastic turnout at the 2024 Carroll Cup season launch breakfast.

The eagerly awaited Carroll, Currie & Lumsden Cups begin tonight, starting with a Grand Final re-match between Kildare Catholic College & Mater Dei Wagga at Robertson Oval.

Best wishes for a successful series!

Passionate #WaggaWagga local Ronda Lampe is stepping back after decades of community-minded advocacy.

The efforts of Respect Awareness, which Ronda founded, particularly in the schooling space where the message to “stop, think, respect, because everyone counts” will be missed.

Received hundreds of letters from the Wagga Women’s Health Centre on behalf of the region’s residents calling for more to stop domestic & family violence.

I’ll be writing to the Prime Minister & Minister for Women today ahead of tomorrow’s National Cabinet to urge strong action.

Delighted to help resolve a red-tape issue to ensure #Ungarie ’s Australia Post services continued.

Well done to long-serving #WestWyalong solicitor Pat O’Kane for persevering through a complicated will matter.

Domestic and family violence is a terrible scourge on our communities.

It is an issue above politics – everyone has a part in ending gendered violence.

Attended the National Rally Against Violence in #WaggaWagga today, alongside hundreds of people, in a strong show of support.

The Former Coalition Government’s $4.3m investment into #WaggaWagga ’s Botanic Gardens has delivered a safer, upgraded, Lord Baden-Powell Drive, but there’s still more to be done.

Let’s continue to work together to deliver wire guard rails to make this road as safe as can be.

Such a shame …

A fitting end to #ANZACDay2024 at the Wagga RSL Sunset Service, with the catafalque party provided from the marvellous No. 3 Wing Australian Air Force Cadets. As always, we must remember those who have served not only on ANZAC Day but every day, #LestWeForget .

Always a strong showing at the #JuneeReefs ANZAC Day Ceremony. Inspiring to hear this year's theme — the story of the 39th Battalion's valiant service during the WWII Kokoda Campaign.

#ANZACDay2024 #LestWeForget

Thousands have lined Baylis Street #WaggaWagga to witness the #ANZACDay2024 March.

Wonderful to see so many attendees – young and old – remembering our past and present servicemen and women.

#ThankYouForYourService

A privilege and an honour to lay a wreath for my brave brother today. Lest we forget ❤️🪽 I love you so much. #LestWeForget

More than 1,000 residents have paid tribute to our best and bravest at a stirring #Gundagai #AnzacDay2024 Dawn Service on a brisk morning.

The close-knit community of Forbes is appalled and saddened that such a murder has happened in the town. The death of much-loved Molly Ticehurst is so profoundly sad, so shockingly unnecessary.

Reaching for the stars💫

Congratulations to Katherine Bennell-Pegg who has become the first Australian-badged astronaut.

Many of us dreamt of going to space when we were kids, but it’s a credit to Ms Bennell-Pegg’s tenacity that she is now able to fulfil her lifelong dream.
