Orange Winter Fire Festival kicks off this year with the return of the popular Millthorpe Night Markets this Friday.

Millthorpe Night Markets to kick-off Winter Fest, Friday

The Markets return bigger and, presumably, better after a two-year lockdown break with an artificial ice-skating rink set up at Millthorpe Bowling Club in Elliot St. Pym St though is the centre of activities for the ticketed event running from 5–9pm on Friday, August 5, which will again showcase the unique food, wine and shopping experience of the district.

The historic village’s shops, pubs and restaurants will be open for the evening with a range of food and wine vendors also set up along the fire-lit main street.

This year, a dedicated kid’s precinct has been established to keep children entertained with the festivities including live music

throughout the evening.

As well as the ice-skating rink — free on Friday night and $10 for half-hour sessions throughout the weekend — the Club is also hosting Bathurst singer, Lueth Ajak from 8.30–11pm on the Friday.

A fireworks display will also light up the village at 7.30pm.

“We are so happy to be able to welcome back the community and visitors to our village for what has traditionally been such a successful and fun event,” Fire Festival Committee Chair, Nick Anagnostarus said.

“We have a great night planned and tickets sales are already beyond our expectations,” he added.

Entry to the event is via Victoria Street at the corner of Pym Street or Elliot Street. For tickets, go to: www.trybooking.com/events/landing/923086

HISTORYTALKING with HELEN MCNULTY

The three witches may have been stirring up a stew of wicked spells in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, but their brewing pot certainly bore more than a little resemblance to the boiling copper over which housewives slaved in the days before the advent of the washing machine.

Today, we might find the loading of the machine, the trundling of the clothes to the line, and the task of ironing it all, a bit too much in our busy lives, but when the Oral History Group began to recall the washing days that occurred in their childhoods, there was a collective groan.

Washing day stood out as the busiest time of the week.

In those days, the washing was all done by hand.

Laundries were built at the back of the house or at the end of the verandah with cement floors, two tubs, and a copper in the corner.

Some were heated by a wood chip or gas fire and filled with water from a tank or a well.

But first, the group, whose ages spanned three decades, discussed the washing that had to be done.

Sisters Monica and Dorothea came from a family of eight children and lived “way out in the bush”.

“We didn’t change our clothes a lot,” said Monica. “Only about once a week.”

Clothes had to be looked after carefully.

There were “Sunday best” and “school clothes” and “work clothes” with a couple of sets of underwear.

Dennis remembered that his father was a great believer in flannel underwear and he and his children wore them all the time.

As well as clothes, only one sheet was washed at a time —if you were lucky enough to have two sheets on your bed, some had to make do with only one.

However, quite often the soap had to be made first by hand. There were few commercial washing soaps compared

Washing Day

Tom remembered that, during the war in the Philippines, an enthusiastic local laundress did the washing for the troops.

“She starched everything — handkerchiefs, socks — everything!” Tom told us.

“Double, double, toil and trouble Fire burn and cauldron bubble”

Harry, whose mother died when he was eleven, used to help his Dad wring out the sheets; one person on each end, each twisting a different way. They were hung on the wire clothesline and propped up with a forked clothes prop.

— Shakespeare’s Macbeth

As Frank noted: “If a kid knocked down the prop and all the washing fell in the dirt, it was a disaster!”

Then, of course — and especially in Orange in the winter — it was often difficult to dry the washing.

“Once we had eleven straight days of rain,” said Monica. “We tried to dry clothes all over the house, even in the oven.”

That wasn’t the end though, there was still all the ironing to do — shirts, collars, tablecloths, sheets and pillow cases, doilies and all sorts of knick-knacks that decorated the house.

At first, irons had to be heated in front of the fire or on top of the fuel stove. with the huge varieties available in today’s supermarkets.

And for large families, it was certainly cheaper to make your own.

“It was a mixture of animal fat and caustic soda and perhaps something else,” Dorothea remembered. “Mum would boil up the fat, mix in the soda, and put it into trays to cool and set and later cut it up.”

Tom remembered how the making of soap in the copper left it brilliantly clean and shiny.”

“The copper was the lifeblood of our family,” he said.

“It was used to make pickles, tomato sauce, to boil-up rabbits, food for the dogs, and to bathe the occasional kid Mum could

catch on washday.”

Everyone agreed, that washday was allconsuming.

Dad quite often got up early to light the fire, the kids rounded up the dirty clothes and Mum, with her wooden copper stick and scrubbing board, presided over it all.

“The copper stick was most important”, said Jeanne. “If it was mislaid, there was no way to lift the heavy, steaming clothes and sheets out of boiling water”.

After boiling came the blueing and starching.

A little cake of Reckitt’s blue was added to the rinsing water to make the clothes whiter, and starch was needed to stiffen collars and tablecloths.

Later there were petrol irons that, sometimes alarmingly, caught fire! And finally, the electric iron.

The electric iron took some getting used to, as Diana related.

“When my aunt ironed she always wore rubber boots for fear of being electrocuted.”

They were busy times and no wonder women didn’t have time to go out of the house to find work. There was always plenty to do at home!

As Dorothea summed up: “There was no need to go to the gym. In those days, housework gave you as much bending, stretching, lifting weights, and walking, as you would ever need!”

Jubilee trees for Orange City Rugby About 85 native trees and shrubs were planted along the eastern side of the Orange City Rugby Club ground, part of a program to recognise the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year.

A mix of gum, wattle banksia, and waratah trees; the new plantings will help deflect noise and create some privacy for the neighbouring houses.

The club received $8,700 for the project through the Federal Government’s ‘Planting trees for the Queen’s Jubilee’ program.

Federal Member for Orange, Andrew Gee, joined club members prior to their final home game of the season on Saturday to lend a hand.
