A Better Life CABONNE COUNTRYAustralia’s Food Basket

A History of Canowindra Canowindra describes itself as 'The Balloon Capital of Australia' as more flights are said to take place here annually than anywhere else in Australia. It is testimony to the strength of the association that Balloon Aloft have made the town its headquarters due to the gentle winds and the open and attractive countryside crisscrossed by roadways for balloon recovery.

In spite of this apparent modernity Canowindra is, in fact, a genuine old-style Australian country town. The main thoroughfare, Gaskill St, stills follows the crooked route of the old bullock track, reflecting the informal and piecemeal early development of the town. The many verandahs and old buildings contribute to the antiquated air. Indeed the entire commercial section of Gaskill St has been classified as a Heritage Preservation Area by the National Trust.

The town is located in a natural basin on the , 330 km west of via Bathurst, 32 km north of . Built on rich river flats it functions as a service centre to the surrounding district which produces lucerne, wheat, wool and fat lambs. The current population is around 1700.

The term 'Canowindra' derives from the language of the People who occupied the area prior to white settlement. It is said to mean 'home' or 'camping place'.

One of the first white settlers was James Collits who was recorded as occupying land at 'Canoundra' in 1831, though he may have arrived as early as 1829. Governor Fitzroy crossed the river here in 1836 or 1846 depending on which source you believe. The Canowindra Inn was established in 1849 and a settlement developed in a piecemeal fashion around this nucleus. The town was surveyed in 1860.

In 1863 Canowindra was twice raided by 's bushranging gang, which then included the notorious Johnny Gilbert. They robbed two nearby station homesteads then moved on to the town where they forced the residents, and the local policeman, into Robinson's Hotel, holding an impromptu and compulsory party. They returned two weeks later, after raiding Bathurst, this time holding the townsfolk at Robinson's for three days of merriment, reputedly at their own expense. The site is now occupied by the Royal Hotel. A plaque on the side of the Royal notes the historical associations.

Lucerne, which became a vital crop in the 1950s, was first grown in 1863. The first road bridge was built in 1874. The railway arrived in 1888.

Distinguished Australian novelist stayed at the Canowindra Hotel in Gaskill St in the 1930s, writing her novel Tiburon while her husband

taught at the local school. 360-million-year-old fish of world importance were found 9 km to the south-west of town in 1956. Another major dig occurred in 1993.

A History of Cudal Two factors contributed greatly to the emergence of the village of Cudal. One was the "free selection" laws of the 1860's; the other was the discovery of gold at Forbes and the movement of the diggers to the goldfields. Cudal, with its Boree Creek crossing an impassable hazard for many days during wet weather, and being roughly halfway from Orange to Eugowra, was naturally recognised as a suitable and practical stop over. Cudal is the home to domestic airline Hazelton Airlines, which was established by the Hazelton family in 1953.

A History of Eugowra Eugowra is a sleepy little town of some 670 people adjacent to Mandagery Creek in the Lachlan River Basin. It is situated 271 metres above sea-level, 348 km west of Sydney and 39 km west of Forbes. Granite from the low-lying hills around the town was used in the construction of Parliament House.

The area was occupied by the Wiradjuri people before white settlement. The first European in the area was Surveyor Evans who came within 10 km of Eugowra in 1815. Two years later John Oxley's party passed through the area while engaged on one of the first inland expeditions. 'Eugowra' station was established in 1834. The name is said to derive from an Aboriginal word meaning 'the place where the sand washes down from the hills'. Sheep, wheat and lucerne were established on the property in later years.

The village developed in the 1860s on the old station, around a bridge over Mandagery Creek which formed part of the route to the Lachlan goldfields. There were 24 recorded residents in 1866.

The John Bull Inn was built to serve the through-traffic in the 1860s. It was replaced by the present-day Fat Lamb Hotel. A bridge was erected over Mandagery Creek in 1869, thereby increasing the road traffic and contributing to local development. The town was laid out in 1881 with a courthouse, police station and school being built.

A road across wheatfields near The Robertson Land Act eventually broke Eugowra up the large squatting runs and closer settlement ensued.

The most famous incident in local history was the occasion in 1862 when Frank Gardiner's bushranging gang, then including the infamous Ben Hall,

undertook Australia's largest gold robbery at Eugowra Rocks. Commandeering two bullock teams they blocked the road and made the drivers lie on the road, feigning drunkenness. When the gold escort arrived, the gang sprayed the coach with a hail of gunfire, wounding two of the troopers who all fled the scene while the gang made off with the booty - 77 kg of gold and £3700 in cash.

Hall was caught and held charged but he was released when a captured gang member refused to name Hall as one of the participants in the robbery.

A History of Molong Molong is a pleasant country town of some 1730 people in the hills of the Macquarie Range, 301 km north-west of Sydney and 529 m above sea-level. It is situated on the between Orange (38 km to the south- east) and Wellington (68 km to the north). Molong is located within the rich agricultural shire of Cabonne. Fine wool, wheat, orchards, vineyards, beef cattle and fat lambs are just some of the local produce.

Prior to white settlement the Wiradjuri people inhabited the area. It is from their language that the town's name derives, said to mean 'place of many rocks'.

European settlement began when a government stockyard was established 1.5 km east of the present townsite. Various dates have been given, the earliest being 1822. It was a stopover for those en route to the convict station at Wellington.

The first land grant, 'Larra Lee', was conferred in 1832. A copper mine, the first metal mine in NSW, was operating 3 km north of Molong by 1846, though the discovery of gold at Ophir in 1851 drew the miners away. Molong was gazetted at its present site in 1849. Land sales proceeded in 1856 with the Golden Fleece Hotel (now the Historical Museum), Freemason's Hotel (still operating), a Methodist Chapel (now the basis of a larger Uniting Church), St John's Anglican Church (now the Anglican hall) and a mill (now a residence) being amongst the early buildings. Molong became a municipality in 1878.

The boom years of the 1870s and 1880s saw the development of the town which was further spurred on when it was announced, in 1881, that the railway would be extended to the town. Molong became the terminus of the main western line from Sydney from 1886-1893.

The Country Careers Program

Help for New Staff

The Country Careers Program is a new program that has been funded by NSW Health for the next four years to help with the retention of new staff moving into each Area Health Service.

Catherine Deverell is the Country Careers Coordinator for the Greater Western Area Health Service. The role of the program is to contact new Doctors, Allied Health Professionals and Nurses in difficult to recruit to locations as soon as they have been chosen as the preferred applicant for a position and to assist these new staff, who are moving to a new town, to find rental accommodation; schools for their children; help in networking with local businesses to find work for partners or spouses; finding a sporting or community group they might like to join; etc.

Country Careers is about helping the new staff enter into the community they are moving to and to help them feel welcome and valued as a community member.

GWAHS Learning & Development Division

The GWAHS Learning & Development team provides and supports professional development opportunities for Area Health Service staff.

Learning & Development in partnership with external training providers and GWAHS staff have secured funding from a variety of sources to meet the challenge of growing our own to better meet the needs of our community. This has included participation in the Commonwealth Workplace English Language and Literacy Program.

As part of this Learning and Development and partners are: • Using recognition, assessment and learning pathways to enable staff to gain nationally recognised qualifications. • Developing our staff and expanding their career options. • Benchmarking across facilities to increase consistency and quality of service provision. • Increasing the uptake of Apprenticeships and Traineeships GWAHS and L&D both through partnerships with other RTOs and as a part of the NSW Health RTO offers an increased range of VET programs.

L&D is currently expanding its scope of practice and exploring additional partnerships to increase capapcity in line with workforce planning and organisational needs.

Preliminary evaluation of the overall strategy has shown that staff appreciate the skills recognition and workplace support and are open to career development opportunities. Some taking up roles in supervision and assessment and alternate career pathways within GWAHS. This strategy aims to improve staff retention and skills and contribute to the building of a positive workplace culture within GWAHS.

The Institute of Rural Clinical Services and Teaching (IRCST)

The Institute of Rural Clinical Services and Teaching (IRCST) was formed in 2003 following recommendations from the NSW Health Plan (2002). It aims to support rural clinicians across all stages of their careers and promote good practice in rural health service delivery.

It is a "virtual institute" with staff working across NSW. The current Executive Director, Ms Linda Cutler, is based in Dubbo.

IRCST provides a range of opportunities to rural and remote health staff:

• NSW Rural Research Capacity Building Program – each year IRCST accepts up to 30 candidates from rural and remote area health services to undertake a research project. Successful candidates participate in a research methods short course, conducted in Sydney by the NSW Primary Health Care Collaboration; are provided with a paid backfill day each week for a two year period; and are linked with mentors who have an interest or experience in the topic or methods required for the project. Applications are usually called in May each year. • NSW Health Awards Sponsorship – each year IRCST sponsors up to 40 rural and remote health staff to attend the Health Expo which exposes them to a range of continuous quality improvement projects from across the state.

IRCST also conducts a major conference, in a rural location, each year: • NSW Rural Allied Health Conference – held in Dubbo during October 2007, this conference attracts allied health professionals from rural and remote NSW to share valuable experiences and raise issues facing allied health practitioners. This conference is held biennially. • NSW Rural and Remote Health Conference – held in Coffs Harbour during November 2008, this conference attracts health professionals from a range of disciplines, with a view to working together to improve rural and remote health and health services. This conference is held biennially.

Some of IRCST’s other projects include:

• NSW Rural Stroke Project • NSW Rural Rehabilitation Clinician Network Project • NSW Rural Allied Health Project • Biostatistician Trainee • Chair in Rural Pharmacy

From time to time IRCST calls for submissions for research or service improvement projects which meet the objectives of the IRCST business plan.

The IRCST website provides additional information on all of the above, as well as any emerging projects. You can also sign up to the IRCST webgroup, and you’ll be notified of upcoming events, funding opportunities, sponsorships and new initiatives. Log onto: www.ircst.health.nsw.gov.au
