OWNERS MOVING ON
This property represents a unique lifestyle opportunity, with *15.68 ha (38.74 acres) close to town with town water available. Troughs are to 3 paddocks and a dam in the 4th. The house has 4 bedrooms, 3 with built-ins and fans, and carpet and wooden floors throughout.
With the fabulous media room outside this is a great space for entertaining with family and friends. There is a building with granny flat potential, chicken yards, sheds, steel cattle yards and 3 tanks, so water is no issue. This is suitable for running horses, cattle, and cropping and a property that rarely comes on the market.

Players who still have 11’s carnival dresses are asked to please return them to the office. There are still many dresses to be handed in. Thank you to all the players who have handed in dresses and paid their Parkes carnival costs.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
The dry weather conditions we are experiencing at present is causing havoc for farmers and are a real concern to the livestock industry. An enormous amount of money is being spent on hay from down south to feed stock. Unfortunately, some farms have no choice but to destock and with this comes the loss of breeding stock.
If you have the ear of our politicians, please ask them to put subsidies in place to assist in recovery when it eventually rains. The last thing farmers need is more loans.
The development on the Bunnings site will commence shortly. Council has forwarded our trades list for the developer to use our local businesses. If you have not registered your details, please contact Forbes Shire Council on (02) 6850 2300.
The Forbes flood study draft report has been received and Council will be working their way through that document over the next few weeks.
On that note have a great week, God bless.

Local Musos Shine At Dubbo Country Music Awards
The second Macquarie Inn Dubbo Country Music Spectacular and Awards organised by Mal Norton Entertainment, was held during June and three of our very own local country music artists were a stand-out.

Kate (Speedy) Daniel from Bogan Gate received the Rod Pilon Transport Award for services to country music and Forbes’ Charmaine Pout was awarded the Split Image Audio Award for services to country music.
The event was hosted by Peter Leslie with some of Australia’s biggest artists performing in front of masses of people.
Baker’s Cyst
A baker’s cyst, also known as a popliteal cyst, is a swelling at the back of the knee joint. Baker’s cysts are fairly common and are associated with chronic swelling within the knee joint. They occur, most frequently, secondary to degenerative disease within the knee joint such as osteoarthritis or meniscal degeneration. The main sign that a baker’s cyst is present will be a bulge and a feeling of tightness behind the knee.
This may be tender to touch with pain and stiffness often worsening as the knee is straightened after activity or when squatting or kneeling.
Just as a door hinge requires oil to reduce friction and allow smooth movement, similarly, the cartilage and tendons in the knee joint rely on a lubricating fluid called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid circulates around the knee joint and in and out of various fluid sacs called bursae that communicate with the knee joint. Sometimes when a structure within the knee joint is damaged or inflamed too much fluid is produced. If this fluid gets trapped in the popliteal bursae it is called a baker’s cyst.
If a baker’s cyst is suspected the whole knee joint should be assessed thoroughly as treatment involves treatment of the underlying cause. Once the cause has been addressed the swelling generally settles down. Sometimes the bursae might be drained or surgically removed but if the underlying cause of the swelling is not corrected the swelling will just return.
Strengthening exercises for the lower limb can help to improve joint biomechanics and to decrease the load on the knee.
“For the fitness of you,”
