Take a Day Trip and Get Wet Or Wild Lake Talbot Swimming Complex TAKE A DAY TRIP AND GET WET OR WILD Credit: Narrandera Shire Council RIVERINA, NSW You don’t have to travel far to get the holiday vibe going this summer. You can entertain the kids and escape the ordinary with day trip adventures to Narrandera, Leeton and Darlington Point. The “coolest” place to be this summer is Narrandera (www.narrandera.com.au). It’s got all the water fun that anyone could ask for and it’s only an hour drive from Wagga Wagga. First up is Lake Talbot, only 1.5 kilometres from the centre of town, and home to a huge outdoor swimming complex and also the perfect lake for water skiing, canoeing or boating. Lake Talbot Aquatic Park boasts four swimming pools, terraced lawns, shady trees, a kiosk, barbeques and two exhilarating water slides. It is open every day from November through to Easter except Christmas Day. The Rocky Waterholes area, just off the Old Wagga Road, is another great place to stay cool in the shade of river red gums. The reinstated Rocky Waterholes Bridge links public reserve areas north and south of the Bundidgerry Creek and these spots are great for picnics, fishing and canoeing. Narrandera also has some of the best access points to the Murrumbidgee River including Brewery Flat which is just off the Newell Highway and Town Beach on August Street. In Leeton, just a half hour drive from Narrandera, your day trip can turn to wildlife at Fivebough Wetlands (www.fiveboughwetlands.org.au). Just two kilometres from the centre of town, Fivebough is 350 hectares of internationally recognised and protected wetlands. Summer is a great time to explore the five kilometres of walkways across Fivebough and, after all the recent rain, the wetlands are full and brimming with birdlife. You can walk, ride a bike or push a pram, getting in amongst the wetlands and stopping at the viewing platforms to spot some of the 86 species of waterbird that have been recorded visiting the site. Leeton Sydney On your way home, don’t forget to check out Leeton’s majestic Art Deco Darlington Point Narrandera Roxy Theatre and get a coffee on the main street at Crate Cafe or some Wagga Wagga tasty Italian food at The Village, just around the corner on Wade Avenue.

Located on the Sturt Highway 10 kilometres east of Darlington Point, Altina is a zoo-fari like no other where you have the chance to get up close and personal with lions, zebras, white rhinoceroses, giraffes, meerkats, alligators and many more animals. Personalised guided tours are the only way to see Altina’s animals and over the course of 2.5 hours you are taken to meet all the animals during their feeding times. Tours are by appointment only and bookings can be made online at www.altinawildife.com or by phoning 0412 060 342. While you’re in the area, finish off your day trip with a visit to Darlington Point and have a picnic at one of the many tranquil spots along the river. Overnight accommodation is also available in Darlington Point or in nearby Coleambally and Griffith.

  • Cootamundra War Memorial
    COOTAMUNDRA WAR MEMORIAL ALBERT PARK – HOVELL STREET COOTAMUNDRA WORLD WAR 1 HONOUR ROLL Compilation by Kevin Casey, Breakfast Point 2012 COOTAMUNDRA WAR MEMORIAL – WORLD WAR 1 A marble obelisk and other memorials have been erected in Albert Park in memory of those citizens of Cootamundra and District who served and died in the defence of Australia during times of conflict. The names of many of those who served in World Wars 1 and 2 are engraved and highlighted in gold on the obelisk. This account has been prepared to provide a background to the men associated with the Cootamundra district who served and died in World War 1. While it is acknowledged that an exhaustive list of local men who served in the war has not been compiled, this account briefly highlights the family and military backgrounds of those who did and who are recorded on the obelisk. Other men not listed on the obelisk but who were associated with the district and who also served and died in the war have been identified in the course of the research. They are also included in this account. No doubt further research will identify more men. Hopefully this account will jog a few memories and inspire further research into the topic. An invitation is extended to interested people to add to the knowledge of those who served Those who served came from a wide range of backgrounds. A number of the men had long family associations with the district and many have family members who are still residents of the district.

  • The Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils (REROC) Is a Voluntary Association of 12 Local Governments Located in the Eastern Riverina Region of NSW
    RESPONSE TO THE INQUIRY INTO THE INTEGRATION OF REGIONAL RAIL AND ROAD FREIGHT TRANSPORT AND THEIR INTERFACE WITH PORTS Prepared by: Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils P.O. Box 646 Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 Ph: (02) 69 319050 Fax: (02) 69 319040 email:[email protected] www.reroc.com.au SUBMISSION BY RIVERINA EASTERN REGIONAL ORGANISATION OF COUNCILS INQUIRY INTO THE INTEGRATION OF REGIONAL RAIL AND ROAD FREIGHT TRANSPORT AND THEIR INTERFACE WITH PORTS The Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils (REROC) is a voluntary association of 12 local governments located in the eastern Riverina region of NSW. The members of REROC are the councils of Bland, Coolamon, Cootamundra, Greater Hume, Gundagai, Junee, Lockhart, Temora, Tumbarumba, Tumut, Urana and Wagga Wagga. The REROC Region In preparing this submission the members of the Organisation have been consulted and their views are reflected in the comments made below. Local governments operating in rural and regional areas, as REROC members do, play an influential role in driving local economic development. Our members, therefore, are very aware of the important role that regional arterial roads and the rail network have in assisting to deliver positive economic outcomes. The Riverina region is one of Australia’s great foodbowls and as such is a significant exporter of fresh and processed food products. Forestry industries operating in the east of our region are manufacturing paper and timber products, which are also destined for overseas markets. All of these manufacturing and processing enterprises are using regional roads and rail networks to transport their products to ports and the effectiveness of the network impacts on their economic viability and their long-term sustainability.
