Podcasts about Inverell

Brilliant apprentice Mollie Fitzgerald was shattered recently when a sudden bout of appendicitis interrupted her march towards a possible NSW jockey's premiership win in just her second season of race riding. The twenty two year old daughter of former successful jockey Malcolm Fitzgerald, had ridden 123 winners in just twenty one months leading up to her recent setback. Only a handful of wins separated Mollie, Aaron Bullock and Jean Van Overmeire at the time of her diagnosis.  Her amazing win rate on northern rivers tracks attracted the attention of the Neasham/Alexander stable who invited her to join the team last October. After five weeks on the sidelines Mollie returned to trackwork duties on Thursday May 1st, and is champing at the bit to resume her premiership chase. She talks about her general malaise leading up to the discovery of appendicitis.  Mollie says she hasn't given up on catching  Bullock and Van Overmeire but realises she now has a tough task. She talks of the fairy tale start to her riding career.  Mollie has only heard about her father's riding days but is well aware of his talents and constant battle with weight. She's grateful to have his guidance and wise counsel in the early stages of her career. The apprentice brings us up to date with the progress of her two siblings, sister Lacey and brother Cameron. Mollie talks of her early involvement with the Bellingen Pony Club. She looks back on a move to Camden Haven when her father was a jockey mentor for Racing NSW. Mollie remembers Malcolm's switch of direction when Racing NSW developed a rehoming property on Oxley Island near Taree. While awaiting new ownership the former racehorses had to be exercised on a nearby beach. This was where young Fitzgerald was first bitten by the thoroughbred bug. She talks about her first job in a racing stable which she juggled with her schooling. Mollie looks back on a pleasing result in the Higher School Certificate. The young jockey says she put horses aside for a full year while gaining work experience in a local real estate business. Finally an apprenticeship opportunity came up with Taree trainer Tony Ball. Mollie jumped at the chance and the rest is history. She talks about the magical day at Bowraville when her first winner came along. Before the day was over, she'd won another race. Mollie says her dad became her regular chauffeur to many northern meetings. He was the perfect sounding board on the return journey to Taree. She's adamant a couple of troublesome wisdom teeth prevented her winning fifty races in her first season. Mollie acknowledges the great support of Grafton trainer John Shelton who made her the regular rider of Cassia Lane. She won three straight on the genuine mare including the 2024 Inverell Cup. She won the feature sprint on the same day. She looks back on a special day at Inverell last year when she was one of five female jockeys to make a clean sweep of the programme. It was another all girls affair at Moree on Sept 1st last year. She was thrilled to win two races including the Moree Cup. Mollie talks about her day of days so far- four wins and a second from seven rides at an Armidale meeting. She relives the thrill of winning the Rising Stars Apprentices Series this season. Mollie talks about the offer from Anabel Neasham and the nice horses she's already ridden for the stable. Highlight was a treble at Kembla in January. One of the winners has become her stable favourite. Great to catch up with an intelligent young lady who's been the talk of racing in the last year or so. It was only a matter of time before she was approached by a Sydney stable. You won't see her in town for a while yet, but she's certain to be a favourite with provincial punters while her claim lasts.

The Regional New South Wales market overall is solid, without excelling at the levels seen in other regional areas like Queensland and Western Australia, but with individual out-performers. There is hesitancy in the Regional NSW market overall. It has a high number of locations where buyer activity is lukewarm and price performance below the levels seen elsewhere in the nation. It's noteworthy, however, that Regional NSW has seen better performance in its unit markets than its house markets, which is part of a national trend. Overall sales levels have improved, continuing a pattern of recovery over the past year, but remain well below the peak levels of 2021. Regional NSW saw a major decline in its market in 2022 and early 2023, with signs of gradual revival seen since mid-2023. Amid this overall patchy performance, there are some standout growth markets, based on individual Local Government Areas including those in the Wollongong, Newcastle and Albury regions. The Wollongong region continues to be a state-leading star. The City of Wollongong LGA has an above-average number of rising locations and the nearby Shoalhaven LGA continues to thrive: quarterly sales over the past 18 months have been rising steadily, showing one of the best patterns of growth in the nation. The Shellharbour area is also part of this region's growth. Newcastle remains an outstanding market and neighbouring LGAs including Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley municipalities all have busy markets. The Mid Coast LGA has delivered steady increases in market activity over the past year, quarter by quarter. Both Forster and Tuncurry have rising markets and Taree is highly consistent. While those markets are heading into over-drive, some of the high-profile regions of NSW have not yet got out of second gear.  The Central Coast still has a degree of uncertainty; Byron Bay is showing signs of recovery, after a high peak in 2021 and a deep post-boom trough in 2022 and 2023, but remains well peak the 2021 boom levels; and both Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie have had patchy results over the past year, with indications of recovery in the latest quarter. The Tweed LGA is showing signs of joining the boom experienced north of the border in the Gold Coast region, without yet being fully on board. Elsewhere in Regional NSW, Dubbo, Wellington, Orange, Gunnedah, Inverell and Tenterfield are classified as rising markets; Goulburn and Mudgee are rated as recovery markets; and Armidale, Glen Innes and Parkes stand out for consistent sales activity.  

Pioneers like Pam O'Neill have taken great pride in watching the enormous progress made by female jockeys in recent years. Wendy Peel is Dubbo based these days but has had several addresses during her first seven years of race riding. The 31 year old is unwaveringly passionate about her chosen career path and travels huge mileage to honour commitments.  She's already a role model to many of the younger girls coming through the system. Wendy joins us on the podcast to look at the female clean sweep of a recent Inverell meeting, and to look at the future role of women in the Australian riding ranks. She talks of the impact being made around the nation. Wendy believes the generational growth of male jockeys is the main reason for the ever increasing number of female riders. She predicts the likely future of the girls in Australian racing. Wendy says the majority of new apprentices have learned the fundamentals in pony club, eventing and show jumping. The dedicated jockey looks back on her very first involvement with thoroughbreds. She talks of a horse management college course which led her to two overseas adventures. Wendy looks back on an early job on a NZ stud farm. She was asked to ride some trackwork by a local trainer and the die was cast. She reflects on her boldness in asking Gai Waterhouse for a job as a trackwork rider at Randwick. Wendy remembers her first apprenticeship to Peter Robl who supplied her first race ride. The jockey looks back on her transfer to Sue Grills at Tamworth. She still can't believe her first win was in a Cup race. It didn't end there. Wendy remembers being one of five riders to crash in a race at Tamworth in 2019. Her injuries were nasty. She was leading the Rising Stars points score at the time. She talks of Cody Morgan's kindness in giving her a great opportunity in the Gulgong Cup when she returned to the saddle. Next step was a loan out to Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb at the peak of a disastrous drought. She says some of her most memorable achievements materialised during her time with Robb. Wendy talks of her transfer to Paul Butterworth in Brisbane. It was Butterworth who supplied her first metropolitan winner. She talks of the broken hip sustained in a Deagon jump out, just 18 months after her Tamworth “buster”. The respected rider remembers a win in the Battle Of The Bush Final at Eagle Farm on Rather Salubrious. The opportunity was the result of great loyalty shown by trainer David Reynolds. Wendy talks of the enormous goal she set herself in August 2020. She rode at three race meetings in the space of eight or nine hours. Thankfully a Toowoomba winner made it all worthwhile. She rates Rather Salubrious the best horse she's ridden but also has praise for Seat Of Power. Wendy speaks highly of jockeys Blake Shinn and Matthew Cahill. She talks of her daily chores at Dubbo which often include a helping hand for partner Duncan Edwards, a well known horse breaker. Female jockeys need to be dedicated to make their way in an unforgiving business. They don't make them any more dedicated than Wendy Peel.

This week's episode of the Bees with Ben podcast features Michael Colvin of ‘High Meadow'. Michael was born and bred in Guyra, on top of the Great Dividing Range in the New England region of NSW. He was raised on a fine wool property near the small town of Wards Mistake, and has a passion for regenerative agriculture, having managed organic beef and sheep enterprises. Michael also loves his bees and is the President of the New England branch of the Amateur Beekeepers Association. For the last 12 years, Michael has been employed in a full-time capacity as a fencer; about 6 months ago he purchased a small excavator in order to diversify somewhat. About 3 or 4 years back, he also started up a small business selling local ‘cold country' honey. High Meadow is actually the family farm situated near Guyra at an altitude of 1300 m above sea level, which results in mild summers and cool winters. The business produces raw, unfiltered honey from chemical free hives located on selected sites across the Northern Tablelands from Dorrigo in the east to Inverell in the west. The High Meadow website, highmeadow.com.au, explains that the bees are only kept on sites where the land managers practice chemical free, regenerative agriculture. High Meadow honey is harvested during a limited season and is said to have a truly local flavour and pollen profile. It is cold extracted, raw and unfiltered to preserve the delicate aromas and enzymes, as well as the natural yeasts and pollens. Michael describes his location as being ‘a little north of halfway between Brisbane and Sydney and about two-and-a-half hours' inland from Coffs Harbour'. He says he currently maintains just under 50 hives and had an awesome season last spring and summer, with a yield of about 16 kg per 8 frames. Guyra is notable for having the highest caravan park in Australia, and routinely gets a couple of inches of snow in winter. Michael says it's not easy to keep bees in this area because there is such a short warm season; from Christmas onwards this necessitates making sure the bees have enough supplies to get them through to next spring. Once the queen starts laying in spring, the advent of a cold snap can see a hive run through a full box of honey within 2-3 weeks. The bulk of Michael's bees are therefore now located at a site which is around 6 degrees warmer, where they cruise through winter without a problem. Michael tells us that he has not been directly impacted by the varroa mite incursion in northern NSW; in the first couple of weeks after the mites were identified he travelled to Newcastle and spent 4 days working as a volunteer inspecting hives. He says he had a great time and met a lot of interesting people. He also relays that to date it is estimated that just over 2,100 volunteers have contributed the equivalent of 47 years of hours worked towards controlling the outbreak. Michael is quietly confident that we will eventually eliminate the mites; he's got a ‘good feeling that we will get round it'. When asked about his aspirations for the business, Michael replies that he would like to build it up to the point where he no longer has to fence; he says that he doesn't want to go too quick, as he doesn't want to sell bulk honey if possible. He and his partner Alison, a Research Fellow at the University of New England, do everything themselves (Alison loves the business side of the enterprise) and they are gaining some good traction locally. Last weekend they went to Moree to attend a festival, where they had a great reception and picked up another stockist for their products. In fact, the highmeadow.com.au website lists a dozen stockists across the New England region. Runny honey, creamed honey, honeycomb and pure beeswax may also be purchased online from the website. https://www.highmeadow.com.au/
