    Activities for the aged in a small rural community—the Weddin Day Therapy Program Helen Denovan, Occupational Therapist, Co-ordinator Weddin Day Therapy Program, Grenfell Community Health Centre, Mid Western Area Health Service I now find it easier to get my feet into my pants. (Mrs A, aged 89 years) I didn’t think attending this group would make any difference, however I feel better after I have attended—more positive. (Mrs B, aged 89 years) These two unsolicited comments from participants in a weekly exercise group run through the Weddin Day Therapy Program are indicators that the objectives of this program are being met. This paper will describe the establishment and evaluation of the Weddin Day Therapy Program, a program that is aimed at keeping older people active and independent.

  • 'From These Youth Has Gone': Population
    LPS Autumn 2015 Text:LPS 03/12/2015 12:02 Page 50 ‘From These Youth Has Gone’: Population Decline in the Lachlan Region of New South Wales, 1920–1947 Robert Tierney and Kevin Parton Abstract This article analyses major events during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s affecting the Lachlan region, in New South Wales, in order to assess their relative impact on population change. The analysis juxtaposes the demographic changes taking place against the economic context of the time. The Lachlan region is compared with the four other wheat- sheep regions of New South Wales and with the State generally. The paper demonstrates that population decline in the Lachlan region in the 1930s and 1940s was substantially greater than that of other wheat-sheep regions and of the State of New South Wales generally, and sets out to explain this anomaly. The Depression, the Second World War, drought over a sequence of years, and changing technology are shown, in combination, to be the underlying causes of substantial change that heralded the long-term drift of population from regional and rural NSW; especially so in the Lachlan region. In November 1941, the Sydney Morning Herald published a lengthy article entitled, ‘Deserted country towns’, addressing what it regarded as a disturbing depopulation trend in the Lachlan region of New South Wales (NSW). The article was particularly concerned about the exodus of youth from the region’s towns and villages, using somewhat emotionally- charged language, such as: ‘From these youth has gone’. 1 The motivation for our study was to obtain a clearer understanding of this trend, which elsewhere had already caused substantial social disruption.
