Congratulations to Wanda Dunnet and also John Dunnet for each being awarded an OAM in the King’s Birthday Honours.

It is great to see their dedication to country newspapers recognised.

I imagine I would have first read The Courier when we moved to Narrabri in 1948 as my father always purchased it as well as being a regular advertiser in it.

After I married, we took out a subscription so we could keep up with Narrabri news.

I then became a contributor via letters as The Courier was always a good outlet for letter writers.

I really don’t know what we’d do without our local ‘rag’ as it is so important for the community to be able to keep in touch with local and other news.

Once again, congratulations.

Thalia Phelps, Narrabri
