All Saints Community Church Burren Junction

All Saints Community Church Burren Junction

Our Mission

Who are we and what are we doing with the old church? Bloody great question!

Our local Anglican Church is almost 100 years old. It was originally donated to the community and cared for by generations of locals.

Now it’s our turn.

A group of local community members have come together to make sure this beautiful building remains here for generations to come… and we’re opening it to everybody!

We’re raising funds to preserve, restore and maintain the church so it can continue to be a welcoming place for the whole community. A place to gather, celebrate, reflect and connect, whether for worship, community events or life’s milestones.

We believe this building has a future, and we want that future to be one that belongs to all.

If you’re keen to support, donate with this link https://gofund.me/c40b43425 or click the link near the top of our page ❤️

Celebrating 68 years of love

Celebrating 68 years of love

The Narrabri Courier - 16 September 2026

Charles and Annette Radford recently celebrated 68 wonderful years of marriage.

The Narrabri couple, formerly of Burren Junction, are popular community members.

They enjoyed the special milestone, receiving a beautiful, big bunch of flowers from family and phone calls from relatives and friends who are scattered across the country.

There was also a lovely celebration at Whiddon’s Jessie Hunt residence, with flowers and, of course, a delicious cake.

When asked the secret to their long and happy life together, Mr and Mrs Radford shared a simple yet meaningful answer: love and respect for each other.

How a Sanitization Service Supports Healthier Community Spaces

How a Sanitization Service Supports Healthier Community Spaces

Maintaining hygienic community spaces through a sanitisation service may support public health, build trust, and help shared environments remain safe and welcoming.

 Shared spaces such as schools, businesses, and community facilities rely on consistent hygiene practices to remain safe for visitors and staff. A professional sanitisation service focuses on reducing bacteria and viruses on frequently touched surfaces using approved disinfectants and specialised equipment. Unlike routine cleaning, sanitisation targets microorganisms that may remain on surfaces long after visible dirt is removed. As awareness of preventive hygiene grows across Australia, organisations are increasingly adopting structured sanitisation programs to support healthier environments. Combined with responsible cleaning practices and community awareness, professional sanitisation may help reduce contamination risks while maintaining confidence in the spaces people use every day.

Why Safe Driving Matters for Families Attending Activities Like Legs Dance Studio

Why Safe Driving Matters for Families Attending Activities Like Legs Dance Studio

Safe travel habits support the routines, connections, and opportunities that community activities provide.

Regular trips to extracurricular activities such as a legs dance studio place families on the road several times each week, often during busy or low-visibility periods. Safe driving habits, vehicle maintenance, and thoughtful planning may reduce risks and make travel more manageable. Parking courtesy, reliable vehicles, and awareness of local traffic conditions all contribute to safer journeys. Community programs depend on consistent attendance, and safe transport helps make that possible. By modelling responsible driving and planning trips carefully, families support not only their children’s activities but also the safety and wellbeing of their wider community.

Rushed Laws Penalise Regional People

Rushed Laws Penalise Regional People

23 December, 2025

Member for Barwon, Roy Butler, has tried to amend and delay the NSW government’s rushed laws in the wake of the Bondi terror attack, saying they don’t address the circumstances behind the attack while unfairly penalising regional people.  

The NSW government recalled parliament to rush through laws that can prevent protests, restrict firearm ownership and move firearms licence appeal hearings to the Supreme Court. 

A NSW parliament e-petition opposing the laws that was sponsored by Mr Butler has broken records for becoming the fastest to ever gather so many signatures.
