CD-ROM of this document plus images obtained to date - 1 - - 2 - 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Fish River Water Supply Scheme [FRWS] is a medium size but important water supply with the headwaters in the Central Highlands of NSW, west of the Great Dividing Range and to the south of Oberon. It supplies water in an area from Oberon, north to Portland, Mount Piper Power Station and beyond, and east, across the Great Dividing Range, to Wallerawang town, Wallerawang Power Station, Lithgow and the Upper Blue Mountains. It is the source of water for many small to medium communities, including Rydal, Lidsdale, Cullen Bullen, Glen Davis and Marrangaroo, as well as many rural properties through which its pipelines pass. It was established by Act of Parliament in 1945 as a Trading Undertaking of the NSW State Government. The FRWS had its origins as a result of the chronic water supply problems of the towns of Lithgow, Wallerawang, Portland and Oberon from as early as 1937, which were exacerbated by the 1940-43 drought.

  • Press Release New Corporate Image

    Press Release New Corporate Image

    PRESS RELEASE NEW CORPORATE IMAGE The famous Zig Zag Railway, in the Blue Mountains east of Lithgow, has just launched a new brand. The Railway enlisted the help of Digital Wisdom, a local media and design company in Lithgow to come up with a new brand. Digital Wisdom were also commissioned to design the new Zig Zag Railway website which has also been launched. The railway’s Chairman Rodney Redwin explained that previously we didn’t have one logo and one brand. As a result, much of our marketing was confused and people couldn’t quickly identify who we were from our many logos. “The railway has long been a supporter of local business and we are delighted with the job they have done. Digital Wisdom were able to identify some of the iconic features that make the Zig Zag Railway the experience that it is. We are happy that they managed to capture all of them in our new logo.” The new logo features a stylised steam train crossing the famous Zig Zag viaduct with the green hill representing the rolling green forested hills surrounding the railway. The railway’s General Manager Michael Forbes, added “Following a review of the railway’s corporate image, we have introduced a new logo and house style. We are very proud of it and hope that the website provides a great opportunity to show it off”. Michael then explained that the railway now has to start rebranding all its phamplets, buildings and carriages with the new brand. “It’s a big job, but we are looking forward to the challenge.” About the Zig Zag Railway: The Zig Zag Railway is a not-for profit Co-operative which operates steam trains for eight kilometres through rugged Blue Mountains scenery over the world-famous Zig Zag, opened in 1869.
