BOOKING IN FOR A WHILE
New owners of the Riverview Motel, Colin
and Ruth Alexander, took ownership of
their new business last Friday 27 August.
Colin has many years experience in the
hospitality industry, including working as
a cook in the merchant marine.
Colin and Ruth moved to Canowindra
enjoying their retirement for the last few
years.
“As Ruth had done as much as she could
with our garden and painting our home,
we decided to look around for a business
to put our energy into.” said Colin.
“Canowindra was ideal as it has all the
facilities of a larger town, such as the two
doctors’ surgeries, and the Riverview
Motel is in perfect condition, and the best
motel we inspected.”
Ruth and Colin are looking forward to
becoming part of our community, and
maintaining the quality of service that Des
and Julie Bridekirk established in 2002.
Des and Julie would like to express their
thanks to the community for the support
and friendship shown to them over the
past eight years.

Can you steer a balloon?
Yes and no. There is no direct
mechanical means of controlling
lateral movement for a hot air
balloon, but a change in direction
can be achieved by utilising the
wind currents at hand. Sometimes,
at different altitudes, the wind will
vary in general direction. By
climbing or descending into these
layers of air, the pilot is able to
manoeuvre the balloon onto a
preferred line of travel.
TRACING BEN HALL
A new Tracing Ben Hall Drive Tour has
just been launched providing a journey
of discovery into Hall’s life while at the
same time enjoying the attractions of
the bushranger’s home territory.
Misty Kath, Marketing Manager in the
Forbes Shire, Hall’s final resting place,
said “though it is 145 years since he died
we are currently seeing a surge in
interest in Ben Hall with an influx of
visitors to the Lachlan region wanting to
find out more about the young man
who’s short bushranging career had a
major impact on Australian folklore.”
The self-drive Tracing Ben Hall Tour,
which is a collaborative project of three
of the region’s local Councils, consists of
around five hours of actual driving.
Taking you onto open country roads and
into four of the region’s towns and
villages, it is possible to complete the
journey in a long day on the road but it
is a better experience over a more
relaxed weekend or few days spent
touring.
“We got together to design the tour as a
circuit so you can get started at any of
the ten sites associated with Ben Hall’s
life and continue on from there,” said
Mrs Kath.
If you use Hall’s own life story as a guide,
your tour will begin about 40 minutes
outside Forbes, at the location of Hall’s
homestead in the mountainous Wheoga
district where the young stockman
began his early married life on a station
he took up with his brother-in-law.
Around the time Hall’s wife left him, the
first known associations with career
bushrangers began and coincide with
two early arrests, before a police party
set fire to the homestead in 1863. While
nothing remains, the site provides an
interesting insight into the isolation of
rural living in the 1860s.
The journey continues taking in both
Wheoga Hill and Ben Hall’s Cave,
reputed to be favourite hideouts of Hall
and fellow bushrangers, before heading
into the historic town of Grenfell and a
visit to the local historical museum
containing interesting bushranger
artefacts together with exhibits
honouring famous Australians born in
the town including the poet Henry
Lawson.
This is also a great chance to enjoy the
shopping and dining attractions of the
heritage main street before travelling an
hour further along the road the tour into
the village of Canowindra for a visit to
the Royal Hotel, built on the site

where Hall and his gang twice captured
the town’s local constable and citizens,
flaunting authority by locking down the
hotel for non-stop partying that contin-
ued on for several days.
A popular destination for day-trippers
who flock to enjoy local attractions,
Canowindra also offers specialty shop-
ping, restaurants, galleries, antiques, mu-
seums and cellar doors.
Continuing you’ll head on to Eugowra,
where at Escort Rock, Hall and his
cohorts participated in what was
Australia’s largest armed gold robbery,
making away from the heist of an escort
coach with a haul that would be worth
about $5m in today’s money. A visit to the
Eugowra Historical Museum and Bush-
ranger Centre, which houses a great range
of bushranger reference materials, will fill
you in on the details.
Next it is on to Forbes, where the lives of
the bushrangers and men and women of
the Lachlan gold diggings have been im-
mortalized by great writers, poets and
musicians, making the town arguably one
of Australia’s folklore capitals. The local
Historical Museum has recently launched
the region’s premiere Ben Hall exhibit ex-
ploring the myths behind the legend of
the bushranger. Forbes offers plenty to
see and do with no visit complete without
taking a walking tour enjoying the histori-
cal town’s many attractions including
some of the region’s finest boutique
shopping and heritage buildings. There’s
another great Ben Hall experience on of-
fer in the town at the local Visitor Infor-
mation Centre where a room of dedicated
materials and displays has been created
and visitors are welcomed in by friendly
community volunteers to watch a free
DVD screening about the bushranger.
Hall was linked with hundreds of
robberies in his three year bushranging
career, but his life came to a violent end
at Yarrangong, outside Forbes, where at
his shooting site it is stirring to imagine
the violent scene as a police party
surrounded him and shot him to death
just days before his 28th birthday. Hall is
buried in Forbes where his simple white-
picket fenced grave is maintained at the
local cemetery by committed locals and it
not uncommon to see floral tributes
adorning the site.

To the editor...
I was sorry to read in last weeks
'Phoenix' that Cheryl Godwin would not
be renewing her tender for the pool. It
will be a major loss to the Canowindra
community to not see Cheryl at the kiosk
upon our arrival for another summer of
relief from the heat. Cheryl has done an
outstanding job and her efforts in both
managing and running the pool, most of
the time paying for items out of her own
pocket have never gone un-noticed. I
must also state that with out Cheryl's
dedication, the Canowindra pool would
not have grown to where it is. It has seen
numerous lifestyle programs
implemented and supported by many
locals whom have enjoyed the benefits
of what was offered. Through Cheryl's
determination to see advancement at the
pool, upgrades are underway through
Council’s funding and this will see a vast
improvement to the quality of the
facilities on offer for all of us who use
the pool.
I also thank Cheryl for her efforts with
the caravan park. Word spreads quickly
amongst caravaners travelling around
and it was no surprise to here that
Canowindra's very own caravan park
always carried a great name for the
level of support and kindness offered by
Cheryl to those who said they were only
stopping for a night or two, and then
turned that into a week because of the
level of service offered by Cheryl and
the cleanliness of the amenities.
I wish to also pass on my gratitude and
thanks to Steve (Cheryl's husband) for all
of his in-kind work that he did to try and
ease the load for Cheryl.
On behalf of the township of
Canowindra, I thank you for your time,
dedication and commitment to not only
the pool, but the community spirit you
have shown and instilled in us.
regards,
Clr Anthony Durkin, Canowindra

life long approach to horse and owner
partnerships.
Many students appreciate his gentle and
supportive way of teaching which
maximises skills and knowledge in each
and every student. His calm and
expressive manner allows him to skilfully
stretch all the students’ horsemanship
skills to a new level. Wayne knows how
to relate to a group of people, to
observe what each person is wanting to
get out of a clinic, and implement tasks
and ideas to keep everyone interested
and keen to learn more.
He has riders from all disciplines seeking
out his expertise. He believes one needs
to have an good understanding of foot
fall, placement of the head, neck,
shoulders, ribcage and hip to be able to
ride the horse in any required
movement.
His unusual way of involving the rider/
owner during the whole process of
starting (breaking in) a horse allows the
passing on of valuable knowledge and
skills from educator to horse owner thus
empowering the owner to build a good
relationship, incorporating ground skills
and into the saddle skills. At the end of
the education process the owner
receives a soft, responsive horse ready
to go into any discipline.
Wayne and his wife Jenny are striving to
provide a more professional, safe and
educational programme for all ‘walks of
life’ within the horse industry.
Wayne will be in Canowindra for one of
his Natural Horsemanship Clinics from
9-10 October 2010. Book in to a week-

become a better trainer and owner
of horses. For more information visit

NEW HSC UNIVERSITY PATHWAY
Over recent months, Canowindra High
School, in partnership with public schools
in Orange, has established the new HSC
to University Agriculture Pathway.
Students going into year eleven next
year at our high school will be among
the first in the state to have the
opportunity of studying Agricultural
Business Management, while under-
taking their Higher School Certificate
following official endorsement from the
Board of Studies.
After successful completion of this
course, the students’ HSC and a
recommendation from their host school
will guarantee entry to studying
agriculture at Charles Sturt University.
Principal David Lloyd would like to
congratulate Owen McLaughlan, the
school’s agriculture teacher, for his work
ensuring the development of this
innovative project. Mr Lloyd is hopeful
this project will be the forerunner of
other links between Canowindra High
School and Charles Sturt University as
the High School aims to support student
achievement at all levels.
