Bake for Yes stall
A group of Yes23 volunteers are busy baking cakes, biscuits and slices for a ‘Bake for Yes’ information stall to be held at the Naponda Farmers’ Market this Saturday.
The group is encouraging people from Deniliquin and surrounding areas to visit the stall, buy a cupcake, and learn more about the upcoming Voice to Parliament and what it will mean for Australia.
“We are interested in respectful conversations. Sadly, the debate about the Voice to Parliament has become politicised, and there’s a lot of misinformation and confusion,” Deniliquin Yes23 campaign volunteer Edwina Circuitt said.
“We are concerned by this misinformation circulating across platforms like Facebook and TikTok.
“We hope to lower the temperature and answer questions that alleviate people’s concerns.
We are not about forcing our opinions on others. Ultimately, how people vote is up to them.
“However, we are encouraging our community to approach the referendum well-informed.”
The Naponda Farmers’ Market will be held in Cressy St, Denilquin from 8am to 1pm.
Farmers’ Market
On the topic of the farmers’ market, there will be so much more to have a look at this Saturday.
Stop by the many stalls that sell delicious, fresh produce.
And make sure to support the Naponda Store stand and shop while you are there.
Proceeds from the market and the store go to supporting patient comfort at Deniliquin Hospital.
Cod season closed
With all the excitement of Father’s Day and footy finals, there’s an important date you may have missed.
Last Friday, September 1 marked the closure of the fishing seasons for Murray Cod and Murray Crayfish.
NSW DPI Fisheries deputy director general Sean Sloan said the Murray Cod fishery is subject to a three-month closure every year to protect these iconic native species.
“Murray Cod cannot be taken in inland waters from September to November inclusive, which is their breeding season, except in Copeton and Blowering dams, which are year-around fisheries," Mr Sloan said.
Murray Cod are a prized target for fishers in NSW’s inland fishery and are native to the Murray-Darling Basin.

Now that spring is officially upon us, it’s important to remember that the new season can come at a cost for some.
As pollen levels rise, many will begin to feel their allergies act up.
For those of us that are especially sensitive or who have little ones who get sick easily, there is a way to be prepared for a rough day of sneezes and a sore throat.
You can visit https://weather.com/en-AU/forecast/allergy to keep an eye on the pollen count.
