The local Walgett shire earmarked $25,000 to upgrade the Carinda Tennis courts shown here.
Tennis is a dying sport and Carinda is a dying town, this must have been the work of a genius. A bit of weed killer will keep these courts serviceable until the town is a forgotten dot on the map, I doubt even now if they could find more than six people who could play Tennis in the town. They'll have a big party to celebrate the wasted money, and then Tennis will be forgotten again.
They also chalked up a $5,000 grant for the swimming pool but I see that as money well spent, I also think that more of a feature could be made of it to attract travellers, some free camping grounds would help too, they just might spend some money at one of the three businesses left.
