Numerous Australian bus and coach operators have announced the start of new services as part of a revamped New South Wales TrainLink network.

CDC secured four new seven-year contracts covering nine routes across Victoria, regional NSW and Canberra.

WEE Waa Lions Club hosted its changeover dinner on 23 June, with special tributes to the late Noel Holland, a Wee Waa Lion, and the late Rob Gilbert, a Narrabri Lion.

A minute’s silence was held in recognition of both men, honouring their decades of service to the community, their loyalty to Lions and their unwavering dedication to the volunteer activities and initiatives the groups have supported over the years.

Narrabri Lions Rod Onus and John McPherson attended the dinner, held at Wee Waa Bowling Club, showing support for their neighbouring club and playing a few friendly tricks and jokes to keep the Wee Waarians on their toes.
