    Submission to the Senate Inquiry into the Management of the Inland Rail Project by the Australian Rail Track Corporation and the Commonwealth Government November 2019 1 | Page 2 Senate Inquiry into the Inland Rail Project managed by the Australian Rail Track Corporation Introduction I am a member of the rural farming community at Illabo in the South West Slopes/Riverina Region of New South Wales. I have lived in this Community for the last 60 odd years and currently own a generational property into its 4th term. Our family farm is situated adjacent to the Main Southern Railway line and the Olympic Highway. This gives me an important insite into living adjacent to an active rail corridor and the problems that it poses to an active working farming property.

In my youth I was State President of the NSW Rural Youth Organisation I played sport for Junee in Soccer, Rugby League and Rugby Union I was awarded Life Membership for my involvement with my local P&C Association I was Treasurer, 21 years, and President, 4 years, of the Illabo Show Society I am a Group Captain for the Rural Fire Service I was a Councillor for Junee Shire in 1989-1993 At present I am currently serving as a Councillor for Junee I am Chairman of our local NSW Farmers Association Branch I have been active within my local church for the last 40 years I feel that this has helped get a feel on the issues that effect my community and more importantly their concerns with the Inland Rail Project as it effects those producers and the adjoining community in the Illabo to Stockinbingal (I2S) greenfield section of this project.

  • "United by One Vision"
    "United by One Vision" The History of Coolamon Shire CONTENTS 1) IN THE BEGINNING…………… “FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS COME GREAT THINGS” 2) THEY SERVED OUR TOWN “THERE IS NOTHING MORE DIFFICULT TO TAKE IN HAND, MORE PERILOUS TO CONDUCT OR MORE UNCERTAIN IN ITS SUCCESS THAN TO TAKE THE LEAD IN THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW ORDER OF THINGS” 3) HISTORY OF INDUSTRIES “AND THE WHEELS WENT ROUND” 4) COOLAMON SHIRE COUNCIL “COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING; KEEPING TOGETHER IS PROGRESS; WORKING TOGETHER IS SUCCESS” 5) HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN THE DISTRICT “WE ARE TO LEARN WHILE WE LIVE” 6) HISTORY OF RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES “OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN……..” IN THE BEGINNING ……… “FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS COME GREAT THINGS” COOLAMON - ORIGIN OF NAME It was originally proposed to call Coolamon "Kindra", after the run and parish name, but the Pastoral Authorities were of the opinion that his name, if adopted, would possibly cause confusion with Kiandra. A conference between the District Surveyor and the Railway Traffic Branch led to Coolamon being suggested and agreed to by all parties. "Coolamon" is an aboriginal name meaning "dish or vessel for holding food or water". A plan showing the northern boundary of Coolemon (Coolamon) Holes Run in 1870 shows a cluster of numerous water holes which he referred to as Coolamon Holes. This was the native name given to the holes and the origin of the name as applied today. The name being finalised and the extent of the village and suburban boundaries fixed, the village of Coolamon was gazetted on 3rd October, 1881.
