Thank you to our Sponsors: Orange City Life is grateful to the following sponsors for their ongoing support over many years. These sponsorships, among other things, have enabled us to bring our readers a lot more enjoyment to our publications than would otherwise be possible. In return, we ask you to please support them as often as you’re able.

Thank goodness summer hasn’t left us just yet! I’m trying to make the most of these last few warm days as there is definitely a feeling that autumn won’t be far away.

We’re certainly getting into the tail end of the summer cricket season, with the finals just around the corner, and I think I’ll soon be missing the sunny Saturdays watching my kids at the oval.

I’ve already seen a few dormant group chats fire up again as the soccer season approaches, keep an eye out for registration days if you are thinking about playing or signing your kids up for a winter competition.

I don’t know exactly where I read this, but someone once described Orange as the ‘most ungoogleable place in Australia’.

I’m sure many of you out there have been left frustrated trying to search for something locally only to be shown some results for Orange, California, pictures of fruit, or just a collection of orange-coloured bric-a-brac. But it seems there is a silver lining – for lolly lovers, at least. Confectionary maker Allen’s has decided to use Orange for a little marketing exercise as they launch a new flavour for the orange snake in their packs of Snakes Alive.

It seems that most Australians found the orange snake their least favourite in the pack, so they are holding a taste test of the new orange snake in Orange’s Robertson Park on Saturday, March 1. A lot of people out there were surprised to find out the old orange snake was actually apricot-flavoured, but Allen’s has been coy about whether the new flavour will be orange. I asked, but the reply was that people would have to try them and find out. I might have to attend… for research purposes of course!

Orange Eventers get the jump on the competition with new local cross-country course

O

range Equestrian Club’s new cross-country training facility will be a boon for local eventers who no longer have to travel hours just to train for competition.

Cross-country is one of the three components of the equestrian sport of eventing, along with dressage and showjumping. It sees horses run a course with a variety of fixed obstacles to navigate, testing the endurance and bravery of both horse and rider.

Until now the nearest cross-country facilities for local riders to train on were located at either Harden or the other side of Wellington.

But on Sunday, the Orange Equestrian Club officially launched a training facility of their own with 22 cross-country jumps installed on

“We’ve just bought 22 new cross-country jumps and so this is our first hit out,” Orange Equestrian Club President Bardi Mannix said.

The Orange Equestrian Club has been growing, Bardi said. It now has more than 100 members, ranging from casual riders to active competitors.

“We were lucky enough to gain some great sponsors and Racing Orange, through Bree McMinn, has allowed us to set up our crosscountry jumps out in the race club car park and utilise that area.”

Riders of all ages eagerly took to the course on Sunday and Bardi expects eventers from around the district will be making good use of the new facilities.

“Eventing’s our passion… there are a lot of people that love this kind of thing in this area, as you can see by the numbers here,” Bardi said.

“We normally run dressage and show jumping on our other days, and we have people come and just ride their horses around because some people don’t want to do dressages or jump, they just want to ride with like-minded people,” she said.

“Orange is growing, equestrian wise. There’s new people from the Hunter Valley, from Sydney, all those kinds of places. Their work is bringing them here and so there’s more and more horsey people out in this area!”

from home for so long I needed that.

What do you do for a living and what do you love about it?

Where would you go for your ideal birthday dinner in Orange?

I’m a chef, and what do I love about it? Everything! I get to showcase my heritage and connect with people through food. I was born in Madrid and grew up in a town called Pinto, about 20 minutes south of Madrid.

Pinto isn’t too dissimilar to Orange; it’s surrounded by fields but close enough to the vibrancy and culture of a big city. Orange is the same, we live in the perfect place for gastronomy and adventure.

We always used to go to the same place- Charred. Unfortunately, we’ve recently had our last ever birthday meal there as it has closed. It was my favourite restaurant and I believe the chef Liam changed the entire dining scene in Orange. It was incredible- a fine dining establishment that focused on local produce- brilliant.

I run “A Table of 10’- it’s a unique food experience in Orange offering private dining and cooking classes at your own home, Airbnb or accommodation. I love nothing better than local, seasonal produce that inspires my menu, and I combine these offerings with my knowledge both as a chef and as a child in a food obsessed family to create Spanish dishes you will love.

I’ve been here for 16 years, and it feels like home. It gives us a family opportunity to enjoy life which is great, and the sense of community we didn’t have in the big smoke. We were in Sydney, in Newtown before this and being here connects us with people that are similar to us. And I think that’s something I was after; I’ve been away

As we come into Autumn and the weather cools, it’s the perfect time to go foraging for mushrooms.

Help needed to save time capsules being lost to time

Blayney’s Boer War Memorial at its new location in Carrington Park. Photo taken at the dedication ceremony in March 2024.

B

layney’s Local and Family History Group is looking for help from the community to compile a public record of all the time capsules buried throughout the Blayney Shire.

Blayney Local and Family History Group president Linda Boss said the need for a collective record arose last year when a time capsule was unearthed during the relocation of Blayney’s Boer War Memorial to Carrington Park.

“The Boer War Memorial has been relocated at least twice in its lifetime and has now found what we hope to be

a very permanent home in Carrington Park adjacent to the War Memorial Gates,” Linda said.

“And it was while the footings and the electrical work were being done to connect the Boer War Memorial in its new location that a time capture was unearthed. I don’t know that it was a huge surprise, but it was brought to our notice that in the Blayney Shire there could be other time capsules out there, and we’d like to find out.”

The group, in association with Blayney Shire Council, is now hoping to compile a public record of and and all time capsules in the Shire.

“Know the story of any local time

capsule? If so, the Group would love to hear from you!” Linda said.

there clearly will be a small number of corrections to be made,” she explained.

The Blayney Local and Family History Group is also currently updating the ‘Blayney Shire Pioneer Register’.

“But also, more information will have been gathered about the families in the Blayney Shire, in the villages and thereabouts, so we’re looking to update our information.”

First published in 2010, the ‘Blayney Shire Pioneer Register is a collection of family records of the earliest European settlers in the district.

Linda said they are hoping people may come forward with new research in order for them to correct mistakes and add to a second edition.

“It is a fairly comprehensive work, but, of course, over these last years, quite a bit of more research has been done and

Orange Con planning 24-hour fundraising music marathon this March

I

t’s a concert to test the stamina of even the most ardent music lover; a 24-hour non-stop, music marathon live at the Orange Regional Conservatorium.

“It will be a pretty epic journey!” Orange Regional Conservatorium Development Manager Bridget Kerr said of the Music Marathon planned for March 22.

“It’ll be non-stop music for 24 hours… and it’s going to bring together a lot of the musical community of Orange. We’re going to host all of our ensembles at the Con and we’ve asked past students to come along and perform, and the community as well. So we’ve got the Orange Brass Band, and hopefully the Cantar Choir as well.”

The 24-hour music marathon is being held as part of the Conservatorium’s ‘Music Within’ campaign, a fundraising effort to fit out the new state-ofthe-art conservatorium building currently under construction in the Civic Square North Court.

“It’s a campaign that we’ve been running for 24

months now and we have a goal of $1.5 million,” Bridget said.

“The idea of the music marathon is that everyone buys a ticket, it’s $ 30… you can come and go. So you might want to come to the 11am session, go and have lunch and come back at 7pm. Even if you can’t be present in the audience, you can watch it on our live stream.”

A schedule of performances will be put out sometime next week, Bridget said, adding that she doesn’t anticipate there being any trouble filling the program.

“We usually do an ensemble concert every year, and we’ve noticed that it keeps going over time, so we thought, why not open it up for 24 hours and let all ensembles have a fair go and an opportunity to perform for longer,” she said.

Bridget said Conservatorium staff have accepted the challenge to perform during the morning ‘graveyard shift’, some relishing the opportunity more than others.

“You’d be surprised how many of our staff are keen to – to quote [Head of Guitar] James Buchanan – ‘get weird and funky at 12 am!’” she said.

The music Marathon will get underway in the Conservatorium auditorium at noon on Saturday, March 22 and finish at noon the following day.

“Saturday afternoon we’re also going to be running a garage sale and a bit of a fair out in our car park,” Bridget said.

“We’ve got lots of CDs and old records that the conservatorium have collected over the years, lots of music and we’re also asking the community to bring in any sort of garage sale items that they no longer want and we can sell them and use that money to go towards the ‘Music Within’ campaign.”

On Saturday evening, there will also be food vans operating and a bar available.

For more information and tickets, visit the Orange Regional Conservatorium website: orangecon.org.au

TALES FROM MY MOTHER’S KITCHEN

Mum’s caramel slice

with EMILY THOMPSON

Orange District Antique Motor club If you own, or have a passion for older cars, (30 years or older,) and would like to meet new friendly people and join in some fun outings and meets, this might be just the car club for you. We are a small car club based in Orange. We have at least four events a month so it’s a good chance to meet new people, have some fun and get that old car on the road. Membership is only $50 a year.

Members have cars ranging from a 1910 SCAT to a 1995 Mercedes, with everything in the middle.

MONTHLY MEETINGS HELD AT OUR CLUB HOUSE ON THE 3RD MONDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 7.30PM

at the Old Lucknow School, Lucknow, NSW 2800. All welcome.

Email odamcinc@gmail.com

Ingredients: BASE: 1 cup plain flour 1/2 cup brown sugar There are a few recipes that aren’t written down. They are caramel slice, jelly slice, honey jumbles, and Nonna’s tiramisu. They’re not written because they were passed on the old wayhours upon hours in the kitchen making them- I still know them by heart. And don’t worry, we’ll get to all of them.

My mum’s caramel slice recipe looks like every other recipe, but the secret is the salt and the quality of the ingredients. Salted butter makes this slice- back in the day Mum used to add salt (Saxa table salt in the tall white and red shaker that always reminded me of a lighthouse as a child), and it makes the flavours sing!

The other secret is the butter and chocolate. Yes, good quality ingredients are expensive, and most of the time it won’t matter. But it matters here.

Use Lurpak salted butter and Lindt chocolate and it will taste worlds apart from your standard bakery slice. Just buy them on special!

If you are a teacher in Orange, there’s a chance you’ve already had my caramel slice- I usually take it into schools when I interview students.

Partly because my mum was a teacher, and I’d never deliberately take up valuable teaching time without compensating them with morning tea, but mostly because I just like baking. Mum used to bake this when we visited our grandparents, and it’s a great “take a plate” option that’s always popular.

In fact, I’ve made hundreds of these, and only ever had one complaint. In the most “Country Women’s Association” thing to ever happen to me- I volunteered to provide slices for a different branch’s lunch event. They returned my containers with tasting notes, and told me the chocolate was too bitter. So, feel free to use milk chocolate if that’s to your taste!

2) Press into lined slice tin, bake at 160° for 15 minutes, or until slightly golden.

3) Add caramel ingredients to small saucepan, whisk over low heat for 5 minutes.

Local Urgent Care Service cutting thousands of unnecessary ED visits Did you know that Orange has a free, 365-day-a-year medical service for urgent, but not life-threatening, illnesses and injuries?

It has been nearly 12 months since Orange’s Urgent Care Service opened at the Bloomfield Medical Centre. In that time, it has saved thousands of people from making unnecessary trips to the Orange Hospital emergency department.

For patients, it has meant getting treatment after-hours without lengthy wait times, and more importantly, it has helped ease the pressure on our busy ED. But there are still people in the community who are unaware of the service, or how to access it.

“Quite a bit of the feedback is that it has been hard to find the service in the system and we are keen to help get the message out,” Bloomfield Medical Group Practice Manager Aimee Mapapalangi said.

With 16 General Practitioners and 20 specialists, Bloomfield Medical Group is a one-stop shop with allied health, pathology, radiology and pharmacy all on-site. They are also home to the Orange Urgent Care Service, which operates from 8am to 8pm 365 days a year.

“We want people to know that we are here and we are really proud that we have been open every single day since the third of March last year,” Ms Mapapalangi said.

NSW Health has partnered with primary

health networks to deliver Urgent Care Services across the state to provide after-hours GP services in an effort to ease pressure on busy hospital EDs. Since the Orange Urgent Care Service opened in March, it has seen almost 5,000 patients who may otherwise have presented at the ED. “The whole reason for Urgent Care Services and why the state government is funding them is to relieve pressure from EDs, reduce wait times and provide desperately needed afterhours services,” Ms Mapapalangi said.

“It’s specifically to see those non-lifethreatening illnesses and injuries that are still urgent, so someone doesn’t need to be waiting over at emergency for hours. Generally, patients can be seen between 15 minutes to half an hour.

“It could be a public holiday or you can’t get an appointment with your regular GP and you might desperately need your blood pressure meds. Or you could have gone boating and waterskiing on the weekend and have a laceration from a rope burn. Previously your only option was the ED, but now there is another option, being the Orange Urgent Care Service.”

To be seen at the Orange Urgent Care Service, the first step is to call the free Healthdirect hotline on 1800 022 222, where you will be assessed by a registered nurse (RN). Depending on the assessment made by the RN, you may be referred to the Urgent Care Service or the RN may recommend an alternative treatment option for you.

THE BLOOMFIELD MEDICAL GROUP

IS LOCATED ON LEVEL 2 OF THE BLOOMFIELD MEDICAL CENTRE, 1521 FOREST ROAD, ORANGE.

Call them on 02 5335 6666, or visit bloomfieldmedical.com.au “Call Healthdirect and you will be triaged by a nurse over the phone and then booked into our

system, depending on if you’re suitable to be seen

at the Urgent Care Service,” Ms Mapapalangi said.

“But we try not to turn anyone away. If you walk in the door, we’ll still see you if we can... And it’s a fully bulk-billed service, so there’s no fee for the patient.”

The Orange Urgent Care Service is open from 8am to 8pm, 365 days a year. Call Healthdirect on 1800 022 222.

Inside the Studio

O

range Regional Gallery is delighted to present ‘Brett Whiteley: Inside the Studio’ from March 22 to June 9.

This major exhibition from the Art Gallery of New South Wales will offer a fascinating insight into the studio practice of one of Australia’s most gifted and revered artists.

Drawn from the collections of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Brett Whiteley Studio, this exhibition presents a selection of Brett Whiteley’s works across various media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, collage and ceramics.

Iconic paintings, such as The balcony 2 1975 and Self portrait in the studio 1976, will be displayed alongside lesser-known but equally-important early abstractions,

works made in London and New York in the 1960s, and works from Whiteley’s final series, Paris ‘Regard de Côté’.

Rarely seen archival photographs depicting Whiteley at work (and sometimes at play) in studios in London, New York and Sydney show some of the artworks in various stages of completion, offering a glimpse into his creative world.

A playlist of songs drawn from Whiteley’s vinyl record collection adds a lively soundtrack to the exhibition, highlighting the significant role that music played in his creative process.

Orange Regional Gallery will be the only NSW venue to present the exhibition.

Join us for the opening at 6pm on Friday 21 March. The exhibition curator Nick Yelverton will present a floor talk at 5.30pm prior to the opening. Free entry.

Monday, 10 March 2025 7:00pm in Mercy Hall.

RSPCA volunteer groups offer free microchipping, desexing vouchers for pensioners and jobseekers Volunteer fundraisers supporting our RSPCA animal shelter are holding a community day next week offering free microchipping, pet food and subsidised dog desexing vouchers to local pensioners, concession cardholders, and registered jobseekers.

The RSPCA NSW Orange Supporter Group’s ‘People and Pets Community Day’ takes place at the Orange Showground on Wednesday, March 5. Between 10am and 2pm, eligible pensioners, concession cardholders, and people receiving Jobseeker payments can have their dogs microchipped and walk away with a subsidised desexing voucher.

chances of being rehomed.

“So we use funds that we raised through our community fundraising events and put it towards supporting people to get their dogs microchipped, identified with a tag, and also desexed, which of course, reduces the number of animals that may inevitably end up requiring care or ending up at the pound.”

The RSPCA NSW Orange Supporter Group raises money through events like a cupcake day, movie nights and sausage sizzles, Kate said.

“This event focused on dogs this time,” said Kate Smith, of the RSPCA NSW Orange Supporter Group.

Anyone interested in supporting the work of the RSPCA NSW Orange Supporter Group should follow their Facebook page: www. facebook.com/RSPCAOrangeVolunteerBranch or consider volunteering.

“We are also offering subsidised desexing vouchers, free pet food, and we will have some free dog tag vouchers for people to go to Petbarn and get a dog tag and have it engraved.”

“I know that the Orange shelter often is interested in volunteers. So if they’re interested in being a volunteer, they can contact the shelter down at William Street,” Kate said.

The RSPCA NSW Orange Supporter Group is made up of local volunteers who hold regular fundraising events throughout the year in order to support the local animal shelter as well as initiatives like next week’s community day.

“What’s important to know is that all of the funds we raise go directly into the Orange community, every dollar that we raise.”

“We’re trying to provide support for people who may otherwise not be in a position to microchip or have their dogs desexed, especially with a high cost of living,” explained Kate.

“We know that if dogs don’t get microchipped, they may turn up at the pound and if they can’t be identified, it reduces their

The program is only available to eligible pensioners, concession cardholders, and people receiving Jobseeker payments.

Graduation ceremony in 2018. The teac hers were given a goat each.

Hear about the incredible journey of The School of St Jude, Tanzania, East Africa The School of St Jude, founded by humanitarian Gemma Sisia who was brought up near Armidale NSW, continues to break barriers to provide free, quality education for thousands of poor, intelligent Tanzanian children. Now, more than 20 years since opening its doors to just three children, its university alumni are leading the charge to increase its impact.

Gemma is visiting Australia with St Jude’s graduate John Stanley who will share how access to free primary, secondary and tertiary education has changed his life and that of his family and community. The pair are speaking at a number of local events, including Orange, and are inviting the community to join them.

Sue Moffatt is hosting an event in Orange that is open to everyone. She is excited to share the enormous impact local donations and support have already achieved at the school. Sue has sponsored three students, two who have graduated from Tertiary institutions and one who is in the last year at the Secondary Girls School. Sue visited The School of St Jude with her son in 2011 to meet her sponsored student Evance and

2018 to attend his graduation. She was deeply impressed by the school, its values and its people.

“The school operates almost entirely on the support of Australians. Ninety-seven cents in every dollar raised goes towards the operational costs of running the school”, says Sue. Gemma and John would like the community to join them at Waratah Sports Club, 34 Telopea Way, Orange, from approximately 1.15pm to 3.00pm to hear all about The School of St Jude. There will not be an official lunch but people are welcome to arrive early and order lunch and drinks from Waratah’s. There is no cost involved but Sue Moffatt would appreciate an RSVP to susimoffatt@gmail.com or 0414 961 390 indicating how many people will be in your group. There will be a raffle and obviously any donations would be welcome. Information on how to sponsor a student will be available.

G’day,

As we move through 2025, I remain committed to advocating for the needs of our region and fighting for the issues that matter most to our communities.

In my recent sittings in Parliament, I have raised critical concerns affecting the Central West—from improving road safety and strengthening regional health services to pushing for vital reforms in mental health legislation and advocating for life-saving measures in schools and aged care facilities.

The tragic loss of lives on our roads, particularly on Lake Canobolas Road, highlights the urgent need for greater investment in road infrastructure and safety measures to prevent further heartbreak in our community. I have called for a comprehensive review of road conditions and increased state funding to upgrade critical road networks in the region.

The security and wellbeing of regional communities remain a top priority. I recently supported legislative reforms introduced by Minister Rose Jackson to improve the management of forensic mental health patients, ensuring they no longer have access to social media while on leave from secure facilities. Additionally, I have called for stronger protections for the community through amendments to the Mental Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2024, ensuring that forensic patients granted leave from mental health facilities are electronically monitored to prevent dangerous situations like those we have recently witnessed. While my amendment to mandate ankle bracelets was voted down, I will not give up on pushing for common-sense reforms that prioritize community safety over flawed administrative processes.

Our community has also faced devastating losses due to child choking incidents, and I have been working to push for the introduction of LifeVac airway clearance devices in schools, childcare centres, and aged care facilities. Simple, affordable measures like this could prevent future tragedies and give our children and vulnerable people a greater chance of survival in an emergency.

I once again called on the NSW Government to act on virtual fencing reform, which is already advancing in QLD, WA, and Victoria. NSW farmers are at a competitive disadvantage while outdated legislation stalls this innovative livestock management tool. This week, I pressed the Agriculture Minister on what steps her department has taken following the 2024 parliamentary report and whether work has begun on a virtual fencing code of practice. Like many frustrated farmers, I await her response.

As your representative, I will continue to fight for a safer, healthier, and more supported Central West. If there is an issue affecting you or your family, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office.

Cheers, Phil

TOP OF MY LIST – EXPRESSWAY TO SYDNEY

T

wenty years ago, the National Party turned the first sod on the Bells Line of Road Expressway.

They reannounced it for years but they ditched it when Sydney people objected to it.

BEER TAX CUT URGENTLY NEEDED

T

he cost of living crisis is driving everything up including beer and alcohol.

Alcohol tax is levied on beer and spirits and that figure automatically rises every 3 months with inflation.

And then Labor pulled what funding there was for the Great Western Highway.

Over 40% of the cost of that can of beer you buy is tax.

Nothing’s ever been built and the traffic jams are worse than ever.

The Coalition has put forward a policy of freezing the beer tax but all this will do is lock in already sky-high beer prices.

Over the years all of the major parties have left us in the lurch on this with their empty promises, sod turnings and funding cuts.

We need real reform to support our hospitality businesses. The beer and alcohol taxes need to be slashed. It’s as simple as that.

True country independents are set to have a big say in the next parliament, and if I’m re-elected as your federal member, we can finally get the billions of dollars we need to get that expressway to Sydney through the Blue Mountains.

GAS RESERVATION POLICY – AUSTRALIA FIRST

T

he current cost-of-living-crisis is having devastating impacts on people right across the country.

Australians shouldn’t have to choose between heating their homes or feeding their families.

Something that we can do right now to stop the current price gouging in the energy sector

is introduce an effective gas reservation policy.

How could it be that in a country with such a large supply of gas, we have been selling it to China cheaper than to Australians? It’s price gouging.

We need a national gas reserve policy that gives Australians guaranteed first access to gas to bring energy prices down.

SECURING THE FUTURE OF ORANGE’S WATER SUPPLY!

O

range is one step closer to seeing a new water supply solution, thanks to $400,00 in local, state and federal government funding.

Council is set to use this funding for a feasibility study into constructing a purified recycled water treatment plant!

The plant will use cutting-edge technology to treat and recycle wastewater, producing 3.5 megalitres

of water per day, which is roughly a quarter of Orange’s daily needs!

I joined Senator Deb O’Neill and Orange Mayor Tony Mileto at the Orange Water Treatment Plant recently to announce the funding, $200,00 of which is courtesy of the federal government’s National Water Grid Fund.

The recycled water will be used by Cadia Mine for industrial purposes.

If this plant goes ahead, it could secure the future of Orange’s water supply forever!

A true entertainment trailblazer and master of illusion, Cosentino is bringing his brand-new stage spectacular ‘Decennium’ to the Orange Civic Theatre this Saturday and Sunday, March 1–2.

In the ten years since Cosentino became an overnight sensation on Australia’s Got Talent, he has gone on to become a household name here in Australia and a genuine superstar on the global stage.

‘Decennium’ sees Consentino perform all his greatest hits as he celebrates ten years as Australia’s most successful magician, illusionist and escape artist.

“The last 10 years have been incredible for me, both professionally and personally,” he said.

“My brand-new stage spectacular ‘Decennium’ is a celebration of everything I have achieved over the last decade. All of the pieces in this show have been chosen for a reason as they represent a significant time and place within my career.

“I’m so proud of ‘Decennium’, it’s the best production I have ever created… I can assure fans, young and old, that this is one show that you definitely do not want to miss!”

Cosentino’s trademark blend of dance and magic with a touch of hilarious audience participation will take you on a journey that will captivate fans, new and old, until the very last jaw-dropping moment.

AGE NO BARRIER TO SUCCESS: Local real estate agent wins national award At just 23, Amy Provost has proven that age is no barrier to success, winning ‘Rising Star of the Year’ and being named a finalist for ‘Inspection Agent of the Year’ at the Australian Property Management Industry Awards in Melbourne in November last year.

“It was such a ‘wow’ moment to win,” Ms Provost said. “There were over 5,000 entries in 25 categories. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my mentor and boss Simone Fogarty at One Agency Orange and my TAFE NSW teacher Penny Webb.

The number of people joining the real estate industry has grown with the Central West experiencing a 15 percent rise in real estate jobs over the past five years, according to the 2024 ABS Labour Force Survey.

“It was my love for talking to people and helping them that led me to this field,” Ms Provost said. “I couldn’t be happier. I work primarily in rentals and in the midst of a housing crisis I love helping people find the home they’re looking for.”

After completing her Certificate III in

“Studying online through TAFE Digital has been a great experience,” Ms Provost said. “I was able to apply what I learned immediately on the job. I feel so fortunate to have had such supportive mentors who truly care about their clients and the career progression of their agents.”

TAFE NSW Real Estate teacher Penny Webb said TAFE NSW provides the practical skills and real-world knowledge needed to begin a successful career in real estate.

“It’s a dynamic and ever-evolving industry,” Ms Webb said. “Our courses provide students with up-to-date knowledge of the legislative framework, policies, and codes of practice within the industry while providing a solid foundation in leasing and property management.

This prepares them for career success or further study.

“If you enjoy building relationships, delivering exceptional customer service, solving problems, and are self-motivated, real estate could be an energising and rewarding career path—whether you’re a recent school graduate or someone looking to change careers later in life.”

Two years ago, Amy found herself torn between two career paths in exercise sports science and real estate. While juggling both studies at university and TAFE, she chose real estate.

Real Estate, Amy began a 12-month traineeship with One Agency Orange while studying for her Certificate IV in Real Estate. She graduated last year with invaluable experience and skills.

event of turbulent financial weather.

Despite this, most people tend to build their financial house with very weak foundations, possibly with no foundations at all!

We can think of our financial house in the same way. We can do whatever we want with our money but at the same time, we have ultimate responsibility for what the outcomes are.

I highly recommend pausing for one moment and answering the following question: Is your financial house built, or being built, on strong foundations? If not, how exposed is that leaving you?

Building an awesome financial house is really no different to building a physical house.

None of us would ever remotely consider building a physical house on weak foundations (in fact, I think it would be illegal to do so). Let’s take the same approach with our financial houses.

A well-built financial house starts with strong foundations. That means being in control of your cashflow, reducing debt, having adequate protection in place in case something goes wrong, and having rainy-day money set aside. Strong foundations are what stop your financial house falling down around you in the

From there, I see superannuation as the floor of a financial house. Firstly, it’s compulsory, so you can’t avoid having it, and secondly, it should end up being the bedrock of your retirement savings. And, if you manage it well, it will be worth a lot of

money later in life! This can easily become wealth-building on autopilot.

life you want.

Your financial house is made weatherproof with a ceiling of quality investments, extra super contributions, low fees, and possibly even borrowing to invest.

I often explain to people that money doesn’t buy stuff, it buys choices. And the ‘style’ of financial house you choose to build is going to determine the kind of life you will have the choice to lead in the future.

Hopefully, you can visualise in your mind that building a secure, quality financial house involves getting the right building blocks in place. Done right, building your financial house can almost be as simple as putting together Lego blocks.

If you need to start building your financial house or renovate the one you’re already in, then independent financial advice is the equivalent of a quality architect. Get the right design and you’re on the right track!

Earning income, spending, saving, investing, borrowing and protecting.

Each one has a place in your financial house, leave one part out and your financial house is going to have some major weaknesses! Get them all in the right proportions and your financial house becomes the tool with which you live the

Then it’s a matter of using the right financial building products and the right financial ‘tradies’ to get the build done well, on budget and on time.

If you need help with your financial house, give me a call.

THUMBS UP to Angela at Coco’s

Cafe who made our recent first visit to Coco’s such a joy! Your infectious smile and your friendly and welcoming personality were a real treat, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

THUMBS UP to Dr Cheng Zhang

at Orange Family Dental who recently treated me with a crown. Her gentleness, skilled expertise, compassion, and kind understanding made the procedure a pleasurable experience! Thank you also to the receptionists, Linda and Karen, who are always happy, polite and professional.

THUMBS UP to Leonie at Coles for

her excellent customer service and lovely manner with customers. She is such an asset to not only Coles but to people as well.

THUMBS UP to Canobolas Locksmiths for helping me out with my garage door last week. Dale did everything they could to save me unnecessary call-out fees, but when the problem couldn’t be solved by me, Chloe was around within the hour and the job done within minutes.

THUMBS DOWN to the people who don’t stop at pedestrian crossings. My husband and I have nearly been hit twice on the March Street crossing. Get off your phones and watch the road before someone gets killed.

THUMBS UPto Yuil, Sophie and all their great staff at Oliver Brown Cafe and their new shop, Cafe Summer 202, for their wonderful service. I hope everyone supports the new Cafe.

THUMBS UP to the person

complaining about the lack of cash at the Hospital Auxiliary Cafe. You have brought attention to the need for more volunteers to be able to handle any future facility. The cafe is staffed by a dwindling number of generous (ageing) volunteers, and our wonderful organiser Chris would be delighted to field enquiries from any ‘would-be participants’.

THUMBS DOWN to Harris Farm for

their “what time will we pack up today?” lark. At 6:45pm on Tuesday 18, I thought there was plenty of time to buy greens ahead of the advertised 8pm close. But, no – half of the shelves were empty already, and packers busy stacking the remainder onto trolleys. Not happy!

THUMBS UP to amazing Stacey at Laverty Pathology, Prince Street, for her calm, patient, and gentle approach.

So good with managing patient nerves when taking blood.

THUMBS UP to Baker’s Delight, IGA,

for their much-appreciated donations to the Vinnie’s Van. And to all the volunteers in Orange.

THUMBS DOWN to dog owners

who don’t clean up after their dogs. If you have such irresponsible disregard for your community, you probably shouldn’t have a dog. To those who do clean up: many thanks!

THUMBS DOWN to the person

or persons who left their waste in the Woolworths carpark in the area which

THUMBS UP to Annette, a support

officer at Orange Council Works Depot.

Whilst she has always been more than happy to help in the past, this week she has truly gone above and beyond to get me out of a sticky situation… she’s a star and a great reflection of our council.

Bravo and a massive thanks!

THUMBS UP to the two hospital auxiliaries in Orange. You do a great job in assisting the patients and medical staff.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City

Council for having a contact person – working remotely with no phone access – for an important development application! Can’t even speak to the person with concerns, unless you get online. Not good enough, very poor communication with your ratepayers.

is used frequently by senior citizens to access the facilities and programs conducted by U3A and the hub. The rubbish was spread over three car bays and much of it appeared to be waste from renovations to a property.

Extremely selfish.

THUMBS UP Orange Base Hospital

ER and Cardio wards for taking care of me. Nurses, doctors, and staff were all so friendly and caring, I felt so safe and in great hands. Thank you!

THUMBS UP to Prime 7 for putting

the cricket and car races on 7 and 7mate.

You made an old man very happy. Who is not tech savvy. Keep up the good work.

purposes A PERMANENT SOLUTION WITH JIM WOODS

As we settle into 2025 and look at events in the world, we may say; “What happened!” Every news bulletin reports another disaster, another domestic violence crime, another scary day on planet earth as human life is more and more disrespected. We don’t need a quick fix, we need a permanent solution, and guess what? There is one!

Companies that build cars, computers etc always have in mind what to do when their product fails. They have a backup plan. When God created this planet, things soon went wrong. Mankind decided our way was better, we turned our back on God and through this the woes of our world today were brought to life. God already knew the problem, and having the answer, he set out to offer a solution, his way! The mess we have made with this planet will not go on forever. God will call a halt. He sent His one and only Son to take the punishment we deserve to restore our relationship with our Creator. Have you made the change to follow Him? We all need to follow the Creator. If you are keen to find out more, just pick up a Bible and read it.
