Farmers welcome the moisture as land soaks, ploughing advances, and early sowing appears likely after the storm.

Plain speaking voices astonished that Government nominees omit Mr Waterford from the new Quirindi Hospital Board list. He has served 20 years as a committee member and honorary treasurer, fought to save the Board after a disaster, and now seeks election despite the Hospitals Commission’s snub.
