Essential Energy is increasing the use of drone technology to inspect electricity network assets across Goondiwindi and the surrounding areas, as part of an ongoing initiative to improve the way the electricity network is managed and maintained across regional, rural and remote New South Wales and parts of Southern Queensland. Utilising new drone technology allows field crews to inspect poles, powerlines and other network infrastructure in a safer, more targeted way.

As I sit here on a very cold and windy day in downtown Toowoomba the theme for our next 2027 calendar page seems very apt....

Our next theme is WINTER.

So if you have any great photos taken in our coverage area depicting WINTER in any way they are eligible to be entered.
Whether it's a icicles on a fence line, a frosty or foggy morning, or a pretty Winter sunrise, a cosy fire, steam rising off a watercourse, or someone all rugged up in their winter woolies (just to name a few) - we'd love to see them.

Entries are open now, and close at 5pm WEDNESDAY 10th June.

You can send your images via Messenger, text or email, or pop in store with them and we can sort it for you.

We look forward to seeing them all.

A Texas-sourced 1915 Buick is pictured at the Texas Heritage Centre and To***co Museum with owners Kevin and Joyce Brooks from Burpengary last Friday morning (22nd May). The vehicle was discovered many years ago on a property near Texas in a badly deteriorated condition by a friend of Kevin’s, who would love to learn the name of the property if anyone has any ideas. Since its discovery, the Buick has been lovingly restored. Kevin, a teacher, worked on exchange in Canada in 1994 and was able to source some key parts while there, which greatly assisted in this great restoration.This was just one of the amazing vehicles in Texas recently as part of The Veteran Car Club of Australia (Qld) President’s Hometown Rally which was based at the Texas show grounds from the 20th to 24th May 2026.
