Deniliquin wins big

Deniliquin has received a great chunk of funding when it comes to the allocation of funds in the Edward River Council’s ‘Major Projects Program’.

The Deniliquin Swim Centre is the big individual winner by receiving $880,000 to revitalise the centre and that includes the introduction of a splash park which has been a big desire of locals whilst the pools will be fixed up and solar heating is a feature for one pool.

The second big allocation is for the Urban Road Infrastructure Program which will be receiving $2,390,000 and this will please many readers who believe the roads are currently not up to scratch

Another $2.1 million dollars is earmarked for Deniliquin River Front, Deniliquin Town Centre Streetscape, Arts and Culture Precinct, and Multi-Use Deniliquin Sports Precinct.

Deniliquin Regional Sports and Entertainment Stadium Extension will be receiving $540,000.

Deniliquin Children’s Centre will be getting an extension to the tune of $500,000.

Netball is a winner too with the Deniliquin Netball Facility Improvement Works getting $320,000

Beach to Beach Walk will be getting improvements to the tune of $300,000.

The Boat Club and Scout Hall will be sharing in $165,000.

The Deniliquin Airport Heritage Centre Development will be receiving the smallest amount which is $50,000 which will no doubt be put to great use and be of great interest to aviation enthusiasts.

All the above will be completed by June 30 2019 with funding acquitted by December 31 2019.

2QN from afar

AM Radio can be wonderful, you can pick up stations hundreds of kilometres away which is nice if you want to see how your old town is doing news and shops wise.

YouTube user dxer22000 tuned in to 2QN from Numeralla which is 403km away from Deniliquin and just 70km from the NSW coast and got a pretty good signal.

The video sample has ads from the Deni Golf Club, C.O.P.S,  Ash Cycles and Deblu’s Adult Warehouse.

The best of the four ads is the Ash Cycles one as it is cleverly acted out though Deblu’s is notable for having lots of sound effects to keep the ad radio friendly.

2QN has been known to get picked up as far as the outskirts of Brisbane on a good night though one has to put their ear close to the speaker to pick out what is being said.

AM Radio, the format that keeps interesting people even if they don’t like their local station format.
