  • Scenic and Historic Drives Route 2 Explorers and Bushrangers
    SCENIC AND HISTORIC DRIVES ROUTE 2 EXPLORERS AND BUSHRANGERS DRIVE DESCRIPTION Hamilton Hume famously began his trek south from his property near Gunning in 1824, however he also explored extensive parts of the Goulburn Plains. Likewise, bushrangers including Ben Hall terrorized travelers along these key transport routes. Explore from Gunning to Collector and get a sense of this history. POINTS OF INTREST Gunning Your journey back to the time of the explorers and bushrangers starts in the historic village of Gunning. Explorer Hamilton Hume established a sheep property here in 1821, and soon after the area became an official settlement. In 1824 Hume and Captain William Hovell set off on their famous expedition south to what is now Melbourne. In 1840, bushrangers Thomas Whitton and his ruthless gang held up the town. Hamilton Hume’s brother, John Kennedy Hume and a group of local men faced up to the bushrangers, but John Hume was killed. You can find his grave, and those of others from this time, in the Gunning General Cemetery at the end of Wombat Street. Gunning features a whole range of interesting historical buildings and sites dating from this time onwards, featured in the self-guided Heritage Walk of Gunning. Fish River After exploring Gunning’s rich history, and maybe enjoying refreshments in one of the delightful cafés, it is time to head east out of town on the Cullerin Road. Around 5 km out of Gunning you will find a commemorative memorial erected in 1924, marking the start of Hume and Hovell’s expedition in 1824.

  • Eugowra Nature Reserve 1
    Statement of Management Intent Eugowra Nature Reserve 1. Introduction This statement outlines the main values, issues, management directions and priorities of the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) for managing Eugowra Nature Reserve. This statement, together with relevant NPWS policies, will guide the management of the reserve until a plan of management has been prepared in accordance with the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NPW Act). The NPWS Managing Parks Prior to Plan of Management Policy states that parks and reserves without a plan of management are to be managed in a manner consistent with the intent of the NPW Act and the ‘precautionary principle’ (see Principle 15). 2. Management principles Nature reserves are reserved under the NPW Act to protect and conserve areas containing outstanding, unique or representative ecosystems, species, communities or natural phenomena. Under the NPW Act (section 30J), nature reserves are managed to: • conserve biodiversity, maintain ecosystem functions, and protect geological and geomorphological features and natural phenomena • conserve places, objects, features and landscapes of cultural value • promote public appreciation, enjoyment and understanding of the reserve’s natural and cultural values • provide for appropriate research and monitoring. The primary purpose of nature reserves is to conserve nature. Nature reserves differ from national parks in that they do not have the provision of visitor use as a management purpose or principle. 3. Context Reservation details: Eugowra Nature Reserve was reserved on 8 September 1972. Size: 116 hectares. Eugowra Nature Reserve is located approximately five kilometres north-west of Eugowra town centre and 30 kilometres east of Forbes. It lies within the NSW South Western Slopes Bioregion.

  • Heritage Listings for Ben Hall Sites
    10 October, 2010 HERITAGE LISTINGS FOR BEN HALL SITES Six sites linked to legendary 19th century bushranger, Ben Hall, have been given the State’s highest level of heritage protection. Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly, said the Ben Hall sites had been placed on the State Heritage Register and would be a boost to tourism in the Cabonne, Blayney, Goulburn Mulwaree, Upper Lachlan and Forbes shires. “Ben Hall is one of our best known bushrangers and part of folklore,” the Minister said. “The heritage sites, which are spread across the central west of the State, have been listed because of their historical significance in showing the impact of bushranging on colonial NSW.” They are: Escort Rock, Eugowra - a natural rock formation and old coach road was the site of the first crime Ben Hall can be linked to where a gold coach on its way from Forbes to Bathurst was robbed of 14,000 pounds worth of bank notes and gold; Cliefden homestead - a 1842 homestead near Carcoar raided for horses by hall. It had been fortified with thick walls and gun slots to see off attacks by bushrangers; Wandi, Narambulla Creek, near Marulan - a former Colonial Georgian coaching inn was successfully defended by a local magistrate attending a wedding in a shootout with Hall’s gang; Bushranger Hotel, on the Hume Highway near Goulburn - built in 1860, it has been in continuous use as a hotel since Hall and his gang held up a publican in the public bar on 26 January, 1865. It’s the only surviving hotel of five inns in the district; Ben Hall’s death site, Ben Halls Road, Forbes - a special stand of trees is associated with the Outlaws Act which allowed bushrangers to be shot rather, than arrested and sent to trial; and Ben Hall’s grave in Forbes cemetery - was originally only marked by a picket fence.

  • Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections
    Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional
