Australia Day was celebrated around Inverell and districts to great success with upstanding members of the community honoured in ceremonies in Tingha, Ashford, Delungra and Inverell.

WORLD superbike champion Warwick Nowland has been announced as Inverell’s Australia Day ambassador.

Eight new chaplains have just started work in the Inverell district’s schools after successful applications for funding by the schools in conjunction with local committee, Sapphire City Schools Ministry.

CROSSING the finish line first on two wheels is the ultimate reward for cycling siblings Brendan and Katie Jones who moved to Sydney from Delungra last year to further their careers.

SEVEN Inverell district schools have received funding under the Australian Government’s National School Chaplaincy Program.
