Our Rentafarmhouse scheme for Coonamble/Quambone/Gulargambone was made possible by:
-
Christine Weston, Cumnock - who inspired, guided, and enthusiastically supported us from the beginning.
-
The owners of our first four farmhouses: Vicki & Bill, Peter, Paraway Pastoral & Phil, Lisa and David, who saw the advantages for our district, took the plunge and worked with the other volunteers to offer city families a Coonamble country lifestyle.
-
Farmers Peter and Bill, and Quambone P&C mums Justine and Linda who starred in Channel 7's Today Tonight show in September that brought our Rentafarmhouse to the attention of city dwellers around the nation.
-
Stacey Spence and Amanda Glasson who helped build our website at extremely short notice during their precious time "off".
-
Cheryl, Barbara, Dale, Leonie, Jane and Lee who carefully and respectfully read applications, sent emails, made phone calls and worked out what to do next.
- Mayor Tim and the Councillors who saw the opportunity to introduce new residents to the Shire and agreed to get the ball rolling.
- Council staff who provided their assistance in the first frantic weeks of the scheme.
- All the applicants in Round 1 in 2011, the brave people who submitted their enquiries and application forms, revealed their personal details and dreams to us, waited patiently, and showed amazing motivation to join us out here in the wild west.
and finally,
- To you, for taking the time to explore our area. We apologise if you've been waiting a while.
Thank You!
