Tragic reports have surfaced on Thursday morning that a body has been found in a water tank. Police believe that this may be Ms Fahey.

Over the past few weeks the Laggan and surrounding communities have experienced a great deal of support and love for the 50-year-old mother, sister and valued friend.

They say that it is often in times of tragedy where a community is at its strongest but for the Upper Lachlan Shire this is not necessarily the case.

The support network has always been strong and in the face of such an unexpected loss, this spirit grew in power and reach.

From the Goulburn Post office, condolences to the Fahey family and friends. It has not been easy reporting on these events.

We and the wider community stand by you in this hour of grief with hopes of a brighter tomorrow.

The news that the Crookwell 2 Wind farm will be going ahead and supplying the ACT with power is great news for Charlie Prell, his family and the environment. 

He told the Post he was first approached about placing a wind farm on his property about 17 years ago.

At that time wind farms were a bit of an unknown and were treated with suspicion in the community, but since then many have been built in the local region and they have demonstrated their value to the environment and to the local economy, with many community facilities being built as a result of them.

This wind farm is a win:win for the community and there will be financial benefits for the neighbouring properties beyond the host farms. The Community Enhancement Fund will received $2500 per turbine ($70,000) annually for the next 25 years.

This is money that can go towards landcare work and building new facilities the community wants.

There are many benefits to farmers and the environment from receiving the host income as well.

As Mr Prell says in the story it allows them to change stocking rates, spell pastures and manage water courses more sustainably without being at the peril of weather conditions. 

So now there is ‘wind at the end of the tunnel’ for the Prells and the local community in getting this project underway.
