Police have charged two men with numerous drugs and firearms offences in north-western New South Wales.

About 6.30am yesterday (Tuesday 25 March 2025) police from Central North Police District attached to Strike Force Meningie stopped and searched a vehicle on the Gwydir Highway, Collarenebri.

Resigning from the position of general manager (GM) was a difficult decision for Megan Dixon, but one she felt she had to make. 

"I loved my role and the community but it was a misalignment in terms of where I felt I needed to be," Ms Dixon said. 

The Walgett Shire Council announced her resignation on Tuesday, 25 March.

STRONG yields and minimal harvest disruptions have capped off a successful sorghum season on the Darling Downs.

An estimated 80 percent of the crop has been harvested across the Darling Downs and south to Goondiwindi, with only small volumes of later-planted sorghum remaining.

Harvest has wrapped up in northern New South Wales, where strong sorghum yields in pockets have helped offset a smaller planted area, while desiccation is under way on the Liverpool Plains.
