Every Easter, for the last five years, Orange local Tom has taken it upon himself to spread a little joy to our essential workers, distributing hundreds of Easter eggs to hospital staff, police, and the local fire brigade.

This year, Tom was given a little assistance thanks to Ashcroft’s IGA. Read more inside>>>

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.

This week, we bring you two great stories of locals doing their bit to help others this Easter. First we have Tom, who used to keep us all organised in the OC Life office, who goes out of his way to deliver Easter eggs to hospital staff, police, local firies and even harried OC Life staff! Tom is not normally one to seek out publicity for himself, but we managed to convince him to have yarn with us as we think it’s a nice story worth sharing. Then we have Jade Murray, who has been doing her bit to make Easter a little more enjoyable for families staying at Ronald McDonald House in Orange. Jade also wasn’t looking for publicity, but her proud grandmother thought we should know about it and got us in touch. They’re two great examples of people ‘paying it forward’ and what a difference it can make.

ENTERTAINMENT: What’s happening around the region, this long weekend...

It was great to see so many people head out to Gosling Creek on Sunday to see the Royal Australian Air Force Roulettes in action. It was an impressive show and a beautiful autumn day to be out and about. We have some photos inside, but it is also well worth looking up the Roulettes’ Facebook page, as they have posted some terrific video footage taken from inside the planes as they flew over Gosling Creek. And, of course, Troy Pearson has some superb photos posted on his Eyetrix Production page.

Easter is here, and all of us at OC Life are eagerly looking forward to enjoying an extended break from the office. It does mean we have two fewer days to put a magazine together, so anyone who needs to have something published in our April 24 edition needs to get in touch as soon as possible.

Enjoy your Easter weekend!

Green light for 330-home Redmond Place development

C

onstruction of a new housing development in Orange’s east will proceed after the NSW Government gave the green light to the 330home Redmond Place housing precinct.

The housing precinct, the result of a partnership between Orange City Council and the NSW Government-owned developer Landcom, is the first to be finalised under the NSW Government’s Social and Affordable Housing Rezoning Pathway, which seeks to accelerate rezoning proposals for NSW communities in need.

The precinct will dedicate at least 20 per cent of the homes as ‘affordable housing’ to make sure there are more affordable

4 ORANGE CITY LIFE | APRIL 17 — 23, 2025

places to live in the current housing crisis.

Orange Mayor Tony Mileto welcomed the approval as a sign of steady progress being made to deliver more affordable housing for Orange.

“Now that the project has the green light, I look forward to seeing shovels in the ground to bring this vital development to life,” Mayor Tony Mileto said.

“Alongside the process of approving rezoning, work is well underway to produce a Development Control Plan for the site, which will set the tone for the neighbourhood and set guidelines for the kind of housing that can be built.

“Once that’s in place, Landcom can lodge a development application with Council for the subdivision design.”

The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure has prioritised the

Redmond Place rezoning so more homes can be delivered in a shortened timeframe for those who would otherwise not be able to afford to rent privately.

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully welcomed the speedy approval.

“Redmond Place precinct will deliver quality affordable housing in Orange for families, essential workers and vulnerable people,” Mr Paul Scully said.

“As the first proposal finalised under the Social and Affordable Housing Pathway, this precinct is evidence that the reforms being delivered by the Minns Government are working to get more roofs over heads faster.”

Plans for the new residential housing precinct at Redmond Place show a diverse range of more affordable housing types,

such as duplexes, townhouses and lowrise apartments.

Along with new housing, the development will include extensive green space areas with walking and cycling paths and playgrounds.

Member for Orange Philip Donato believes the Redmond Place housing project is good news for the future of Orange.

“Orange is a growing community and projects like the Redmond Place Precinct will allow it to continue to thrive,” Mr Donato said.

“These 330 homes are great news for Orange and will help to keep the great Australian dream of owning a home a reality in the Central West.”

Construction is expected to begin in early 2026.

Tom’s paying it forward and sharing a little joy this Easter Every Easter, for the last five years, Orange local Tom has taken it upon himself to spread a little joy to our essential workers, distributing hundreds of Easter eggs to hospital staff, police, and the local fire brigade.

It’s just a little act of kindness, says Tom, who has made ‘paying it forward’ a regular part of his own life ever since a stranger’s random act of kindness to his mother five years ago.

“In 2019, my mum was doing some Christmas shopping. She had to rush around and get stuff done for Christmas Day. She got to IGA, she was in a hurry, she was exhausted, and somebody let her in so she

could get through quickly and then someone at the front of the queue paid for all her stuff,” Tom recalls.

“Or, I have walked up to people and seen people at checkouts and said, ‘This is on me.’

And I’ve just tapped and walked off.”

had previously given him substantial discounts on his bulk order of Easter eggs, but this year offered to donate the lot.

“When she told me that story, I thought I could help pay this forward and pay for somebody else.”

Not everyone is willing to accept his generosity, but if he’s got the money to spare, Tom makes sure to find someone else who needs a helping hand.

“I asked how much and she said, ‘No, I’m donating the lot this year. I don’t mind doing it. I love doing this sort of stuff’,” he said.

It wasn’t long afterwards that Tom did just that, stepping up to the front of a supermarket checkout, card in hand, and offering to pay for an elderly lady’s groceries.

“So, I sort of paid it forward for Mum, and that felt good. So I started doing that sort of stuff quite regularly,” he said.

“I don’t know what alerts me to people, but I’ll see someone that looks like they might be a bit down in their luck, they might be sort of choosing between getting milk or getting bread because they don’t have enough money, so I’ll go to the checkout and say here’s fifty dollars to pay the bill of that person over there.

“When COVID hit, I thought, what can I do for the nurses and other staff? I ended up going out and buying, I think it might have been 200 Easter eggs, and went to the hospital to hand them out,” Tom said.

“I don’t need them to know who I am. I don’t need anything for it,” Tom said. “From that moment when Mum told me that someone paid for her groceries, and I saw how that made her feel and the joy she got out of it… I hope I pass that on to others when I do it.”

The Year of Toys: Waste 2 Art gets playful in 2025 competition return

T

he Sims Metal Waste 2 Art community art competition is back in 2025 with the theme ‘Toys’, inviting a playful interpretation from entering artists.

Coordinated by Netwaste, the annual Waste 2 Art competition aims to challenge people’s perceptions about ‘rubbish’ by showcasing creative works made from reused ‘waste’ materials.

The competition is open to artists of all ages, with separate primary school, high school, community and open categories.

“Waste 2 Art shares its waste reduction message in such a fun and unique way it appeals to a large cross-section of the community, from aspiring and professional artists to schools and community groups,” Orange City Council’s Sustainability Community Committee Chair, Cr David Mallard, said.

“Waste 2 Art is a great way to highlight the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, while creating a new life for materials that would otherwise have been thrown away or considered useless.

“It also offers a wonderful opportunity for the entire Orange community to

6 ORANGE CITY LIFE | APRIL 17 — 23, 2025

showcase their creativity.”

Waste 2 Art is increasing in popularity in Orange each year, with more than 90 entries in the 2024 competition.

Entry forms for the 2025 local competition must be submitted by the end of May, with the exhibition taking place in mid-June. The winners of the Orange competition will then progress to the regional competition and exhibition to be held at the Western Plains Cultural Centre in Dubbo from September 20 to November 2.

Works can be two or three-dimensional, but must have been made using only recycled ‘waste’ materials. Over the years, people have turned items like soft plastics, tin cans, bottle tops, plastic bags, scrap metal and clothing into fantastic works of art.

While this year’s theme is ‘toys’, artists are not required to use toys in the making of their artworks.

For those looking for inspiration, there will be two workshops held at the Environmental Learning Facility in the lead up to the exhibition, where you can learn more about toys in the waste stream and provide an opportunity for entrants to receive guidance and inspiration from

local artists.

On Saturday, April 26, artist Tavia Lyons will host a workshop aimed at young people and their parents. Tavia has a background in graphic design and visual arts and has been involved with Waste 2 Art in Orange since its inception in 2015..

Helping the Easter Bunny hop into the Ronald McDonald House Jade Murray knows all too well how important the little comforts are when stuck far from home, and this Easter, the local beautician and mother-of-three is making sure to bring a little joy to families staying at Ronald McDonald House in Orange.

It was 14 years ago that Jade and her husband were given the news that their unborn daughter, Indy, would require treatment for a cleft lip and palate.

“We were so young,” says Jade, “We didn’t have much money and we were suddenly faced with a journey with our unborn baby that would involve a lifetime of medical help, hours away from where we live.”

Indy has had to undergo 18 surgeries so far in her young life and there are still more to go, says Jade, who has had to travel back and forward to Westmead Children’s Hospital in Sydney with her daughter for treatment.

Throughout their journey, Jade says they have been unbelievably grateful for the support of Ronald McDonald House, which has given them a place to stay and the comforts of home while going through some difficult times.

“We’ve been seeing the team at Westmead for 14 years, so we know what it’s like being away from home,” says Jade.

“We remember the feeling of someone showing up for us, of kindness given with no strings attached, of hope delivered when things felt heavy and scary. Fourteen years on, we are grateful for the chance to now do the same for others.”

Spotting a call-out for donations of Easter

Jade Murray and daughter Indy with the nine baskets of donated Easter goodies for Ronald McDonald House Central West. eggs from our local Ronald McDonald House last year, Jade saw a way in which she could give back and rallied her beauty salon clients and friends to put together five large washing baskets of Easter goodies.

Putting out the call once again ahead of this Easter, Jade has been overwhelmed with support and on Monday afternoon delivered nine baskets full of Easter eggs, books, games, toys and other treats.

“My clients and local businesses came on board, even people who actually don’t see me in the salon, they’ve seen it on my socials and just messaged that they had items to drop off. So the Orange Community, not necessarily just my clientele, the whole community has got behind it,” says Jade, who is happy to be able to give back in some small way.

“I know firsthand what it’s like being away from home. The last thing, when you’ve got a sick kid in hospital, you don’t have time to run down and buy Easter eggs,” she says.

“But the Easter Bunny has to come, and if I can help then that’s really heartwarming.”

Posting to her LillyRose Salon Facebook page on Monday, Jade expressed her gratitude to all those who donated to her cause.

“Today we will be dropping off 9 full washing baskets full of kindness, generosity, and love from the Orange community to the Orange Ronald McDonald House…

“What you gave wasn’t just Easter treats, you gave hope. You reminded families they’re not alone. You reminded us all of the power of compassion.

“And with our Indy by our side, who has helped sort the donations, pack the treats and add her own touch of love. To see her give, with the same open heart that once received, is really special.

“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much.”

It’s Strawhouse’s signature pig label reimagined with a musical twist, Executive Director of the ORC, David Shaw, said.

“This project is a joyful reminder of what happens when creativity and community come together,” David said.

“Who knew you could put a saxophoneplaying pig on a wine label? It’s fun, it’s local, and it supports something truly meaningful; our future home for music in Orange.”

Available in both a bold red and a crisp white, the distinctive labels feature a cartoon drawing of a sunglasses-clad

Crafted by Meg and Justin Byrnes of Strawhouse Wines, the wines are designed to delight collectors, music lovers, and wine enthusiasts alike. Every bottle sold contributes directly to the ORC’s efforts to build a facility that will inspire and serve generations of musicians across the region.

“We wanted to do something special for the ORC, and the musical pig just felt right,” Strawhouse Wines’ owner and winemaker, Justin Byrnes, said “Music and wine both bring people

together and this was our way of celebrating that.”

Wines are available to order via the ORC website orangecon.org.au/strawhousewine or by contacting Strawhouse Wines directly at info@strawhousewines. com.au. Quantities are limited, and the bottles make for perfect gifts or unique keepsakes.

psychology, the military, and education.

“Awareness”, “assertiveness”, and “avoidance” have been traditional strategies for girls in dangerous public and private situations, and they’re key to an innovative self-defence workshop being offered in Dubbo and Orange in April.

• Trust their instincts and make smart choices

Marital arts expert and founder of the KYUP! Project, Mel, is again bringing her unique half-day presentations for local young women aged between 12–22 to the region for an issue that is very close to her heart.

“KYUP! was in response to child youth crime in the area where I was growing-up, and my own lived experience of being in a dangerous relationship,” Mel revealed.

“Since then, I’ve done 25 years of martial arts, and I looked around, and saw that nothing much has changed from when I was a kid,” she added.

Pronounced “KEY-UP” after a Korean martial arts exclamative power call, it aims to offer local girls “a voice” in situations where they might otherwise feel powerless, Mel — a writer, speaker, media commentator,

“It’s about intuition, using your voice, ‘ethical bystanding’ and basic self-defence moves and scenarios that anybody can utilise.”

have got the skills to keep ourselves safe; for this we needed real-life role models in the community,” Mel recalled.

“The analogy I use, is ‘it’s like ‘swimming between the flags’; at the beach, we all use sun-screen, hats, and clothes, to protect ourselves, we should do this also for our safety.

She founded KYUP! with the central purpose of empowering women with a tailored suite of physical, psychological, and emotional tools to handle almost all situations.

“We want the whole country to be able to ‘swim between the flags’ but not all of us

“The workshop skills have been developed from a range of sources — policing,

• Use the power of their voice to defuse dangerous situations • Get away from a situation that doesn’t feel right • Fight back when needed • Break the cycle of violence “I’m very excited to be holding these workshops, we usually get between 50–55 young women involved and have been holding them for three or four years,” Mel said.

“Almost all women have experienced violence at one time or another, but we show you how to become an excellent ‘de-escalator’ and how to react to unsafe situations,” she concluded.

The two free holiday programs are at Dubbo PCYC on Wednesday, April 23, and at Orange PCYC on Thursday, April 24. For more information or to book, go to: www. kyupproject.com.au/upcoming-workshops/

ENOUGH is

ENOUGH! Say NO to the Men in Hats.

Say YES to change.

I’m sick of the Central West being held back by Andrew Gee and the National Party. Unlike them, I’ve NEVER been a member of a political party.

LET’S TALK MONEY

with DANIEL MCGREGOR

The 10 Minute Phone Call That Could Save Your Retirement

A

re you a retiree in Orange? Perhaps you’re nearing retirement or maybe you’re simply ready to start seriously planning for your retirement.

If so, can you answer this one vital question?

- Do you really know how the fees on your retirement savings compare with what else is out there?

Why is this question so vital! Because a 1% higher fee on your retirement savings could cost you 10 years of retirement income! 1% doesn’t sound like much, 0.5% even less, but thse seemingly small amounts can have huge implications.

It’s a huge price to pay and it’s why you want to be very confident you’re not paying more fees than necessary.

During times like we’ve just experienced, you’d be forgiven for thinking things like Trump’s tariffs causing an economic meltdown are the biggest risk to your retirement savings. But that’s short-term thinking. When it comes to retirement, you’ll probably be retired for a long time, and we’ll see other crises

during that time… they will come and go. Things will fall in the short term but they’ve never, ever failed to reach new highs in the long term.

We can’t control the short term, but we can plan to make sure your retirement savings are set up to deal with the short, medium and long term.

Put it this way, if you had big holes in your wallet and money was constantly falling out and being lost, you’d very quickly do something about it. Your retirement savings are the wallet from which you will pay yourself a retirement income. If yours potentially has big holes in it, you’d want to do something about it, wouldn’t you?

There is, however, one thing we can control… FEES.

That’s why the question is SO important:

Fees can eat away at your retirement savings year after year and there could be an array of fees eating away at yours.

- Do you really know how the fees on your retirement savings compare with what else is out there?

The sooner you put a stop to higher-than-necessary fees eroding your nest egg, the sooner that money will start staying in your pocket.

And secondly:

Showing people just how much they can save in fees on their retirement savings is one thing I love doing. I get to give many people an ongoing annual bonus by helping them pay thousands of dollars less in fees each year.

What would you do with thousands of dollars a year that would otherwise be paid in fees? Are there a few things you can think of that you’d rather be spending that money on?

- If you’re paying for financial advice, do you really know how much it is costing you?

If you’re not sure, pick up the phone and give me a call on 0411 484 464 and in the space of 10 minutes I can give you a quick assessment of whether you’re potentially at risk of the biggest killer of retirement savings – high fees!

The upshot of making a 10 minute call could well be a better retirement lifestyle!

Cheers, Daniel

What Happens on Death (Intestacy) or Incapacity of a SMSF Memberr SMSF stands for Self-Managed Superannuation Fund.

SMSF’s are governed by the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act). re All members of the fund must be trustees of the fund and all the trustees must be directors of a corporate trustee (where applicable), per section 17A. On the death or legal incapacity of a member a fund stands to lose tax concessions being non-compliant unless the member can be replaced within 6 months.

To replace a member experiencing incapacity the SMSF (trust) deed needs to expressly allow for the appointment of an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA). This means the attorney chosen by the member when they had capacity and completed the EPOA instrument gets the person they trust and want to make these decisions. It is critical for both the trust deed and the EPOA to be in place. If more than one attorney is appointed they may all be appointed as trustees. The EPOA once appointed has all the powers that other ordinary member/trustees have.

Anthony Short

The ruling SMSFR 2010/2 confirms a person holding a valid EPOA may be appointed to the fund to replace a member as a trustee, where the member is incapacitated.

When a member dies then the SMSF death benefit payment (ie super and super based insurance if any) does not automatically become an estate asset. The trustee of the fund must look at any Binding Death Nominations (BDN) in place and must consult the trust deed. A valid BDN will direct where the funds are to be paid. If the BDN is invalid or does not exist then the deed may give discretion to the trustee as to the direction of the death benefits. A deceased persons estate may require Grant of Probate or Grant of Letters of Administration (re intestacy) to be applied for from the Supreme Court in order to obtain the benefits.

To avoid any questions over the above scenarios prudent members of a SMSF should ensure the trust deed covers the various scenarios, the member has a will, the member has an Enduring Power of Attorney and the member should consider a Binding Death Nomination.

SLASHING THE POWER OF SUPERMARKET GIANTS – REAL COST OF LIVING RELIEF

T

REDUCING SUPERMARKET DOMINANCE BILL

They are amongst the most profitable grocery chains in the WORLD!

It would significantly shake-up the behaviour of the grocers, wind back the market share of the big supermarkets, and level the playing field between the farmers and the supermarket giants.

he supermarket giants, Coles and Woolies, are raking in massive profits. Between them they have an 80% market share and prices have gone up 24% in just five years.

That’s why Bob Katter and I introduced the Reducing Supermarket Dominance Bill into Parliament.

These huge profits come at the expense of price gouging of farmers at the farmgate and consumers at the checkout.

One thing that we can do to bring prices down is slash the market dominance of the supermarket giants.

In summary, the legislation would:

divestiture of the supermarkets • Force and their market power in the grocery sector to a maximum of 20 per cent within five years.

100% markup for • Maximum supermarkets (they currently markup

Last year I teamed up with Bob Katter to draw attention to the shocking behaviour of the supermarket pigs and hogs.

We did this because the supermarket snouts are in the money trough. They’re rolling around in massive profits, yet they pay our farmers a pittance and price gouge customers on the way through.

the ‘Food and Grocery Code • Scrap of Conduct’. It fails to address power

Urgent action is required to give our farmers and consumers a fair go.

imbalances between farmers and grocery giants and instead provides a mechanism by which supermarkets control suppliers and producers.

MAJOR PARTIES ARE ALL TALK

Talking about taking action is not good enough. Words have to be backed up by deeds.

The National Party had nine years to stop the supermarket hogs and failed. They also introduced the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct and it turned out to be a dud which has not stopped the price gouging.

The Labor Government’s policies have been just as ineffective.

WHAT DO WE WANT?

What we want is for all the major parties to not just hold press conferences and talk about taking action, but to actually vote in favour of this game-changing legislation.

If you’re not prepared to back up your big talk with a vote in Parliament, it’s all just hot air and porkies.

THANK YOU MINERS!

FIXING THE RURAL DOCTOR SHORTAGE CRISIS

ustralia enjoys one of the highest living standards in the world.

T

he rural doctor shortage crisis is costing lives.

And unlike many other countries, we have a safety net that gives a hand-up to those in need - such as the NDIS and Medicare. We also have a highly regarded and capable Australian Defence Force and world class schools and universities. We can be proud of all of this.

It’s outrageous that the further you live from a city, the shorter your life expectancy is.

What helps us pay for them is exports. In the Orange region we mine and export gold and copper out at Cadia. They are both in our national top 10 list of exports. Copper is used in electrical wiring, transportation and construction.

I’ve been leading the fight for better health services in the bush for years, securing a 24-hour rescue helicopter, improved radiotherapy, fighting to save Gulgong Hospital, and achieving a new rural medical school for Charles Sturt University in Orange.

So when you see a local miner, thank them for the important work they're doing for our region and country! They help power our local and national economy.

I also introduced the Doctors for the Bush Bill to bring thousands more doctors to regional areas like Calare, but the major parties

OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS ARE TRUE COMMUNITY HEROES!

E

arly Childhood educators play a vital role in ensuring that our children have the best possible start in life.

We need to support, value and appreciate them!

That is why, last year in Parliament, I supported the ‘Wage Justice for Early Childhood Education and Care Workers Bill’ that would give our Early Childhood educators a 15%

pay rise over two years. This means they are now earning on avaerage an extra $155 per week. This is a good start but the government also needs to come up with a plan to train and attract more educators to address staff shortages across the region.

If we didn’t have early childhood educators many parents would not be able to work.

Our sincere gratitude to all of our early childhood educators for your vital role in nurturing the promise of Australia

THE GOOD ENOUGH PARENT

WITH EMILY THOMPSON

Letting go You know that thing where you’re sure you’re going to be a patient, loving parent and you’ll simultaneously have an incredibly fulfilling career, a busy and fun social life and you will volunteer enough to be a positive impact in your community. But then you actually have children and you barely have time to phone it in at work and remember your children’s names.

Look, I’ve been on a bit of a health kick and even this week when my healthy eating has devolved into a steady stream of Cadbury mini eggs (strawberry of top deck), I’ve still been exercising because it makes me feel so good. But I don’t need to count steps or track standing hours. I’m doing enough. Stuff your loops.

This I care so very much about:

3) Planning meals. I didn’t know this was the number one mental strain as an adult, but apparently it is. I’ve tried many things to combat thismeal rosters, meal kits, apps and I’m ashamed to admit that I briefly joined a Facebook group called “mums who organise” before quickly realising that these were not my people. Look, nobody in my house is going to starve or become malnourished, but I don’t

2) The people who love me. My close friends are getting very used to drinking coffee with me while I cry, and they meet me for coffee anyway. The people you don’t have to pretend with are the best.

1) My beautiful little family. I’m lucky enough to be married to the love of my life, and be a mum to the most incredible two girls in the world. No, I’m not going to make it to every assembly, but my kids are going to remember the ones I went to, not the ones I missed.

3) Sunlight, the swimming pool, walking at the lake, reading good books and chocolate. Because these things and the people I love are all I need.

Orange Urgent Care Service has got you covered all Easter weekend The last place anyone wants to spend their Easter break is in an emergency department waiting room. Thanks to the Orange Urgent Care Service (OUCS) you can still get the care that you need even out of hours.

Located at the Bloomfield Medical Centre, the Orange Urgent Care Service is open from 8am to 8pm, 365 days a year, to provide bulk billing care for urgent, but not life-threatening, illnesses and injuries.

grateful and saying, ‘Thank you for being here.

Thank you that we didn’t have to go to the ED’.

“So, it takes a lot of the load off the emergency department for things that don’t need an emergency department to be sorted out.”

IS LOCATED ON LEVEL 2 OF THE BLOOMFIELD MEDICAL CENTRE,

Since its opening 12 months ago, the OUCS service has saved thousands of people from making unnecessary trips to the Orange Hospital ED and provided urgent out-of-hours GP services, while getting timely treatment without the lengthy wait times.

“I think this service is fantastic,” Orange Urgent Care Service GP Dr Danielle Morris said.

“Because it’s predominantly run by GPs, so you have doctors with a general practice background, and we see people and organise urgent treatment depending on what’s necessary.”

Dr Morris has been practicing medicine in the Central West for over 25 years and has experience in rural general practice as well as emergency medicine. She joined the growing Orange Urgent Care Service team at the Bloomfield Medical Centre in June last year.

“I think, for patients, the biggest benefit is being able to have timely access to urgent review, and get investigations ordered and treatment organised knowing that their normal treating Doctor or practice will receive all the results also and without necessarily having to wait for hours in an emergency department,” Dr Morris said.

“What I find is, it’s lovely how appreciative people are of the service. So many people walk out

THE BLOOMFIELD MEDICAL GROUP

1521 FOREST ROAD, ORANGE.

Dr Morris said her usual hours in the Urgent Care are every Monday and Tuesday from 11.00am to 8.00pm, as well as occasional weekends however the service is available 365 days a year 8am to 8pm with a range of Doctors making up our Team.

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.

“Call Healthdirect first,” Dr Morris advised.

“Sometimes people self-present with issues that they really should be in the emergency department for and Healthdirect can help them with advice about what’s the best place for their care.

“Healthdirect also has access to our Urgent Care appointment system and can book them in on

Call them on 02 5335 6666, or visit bloomfieldmedical.com.au the spot, so it helps people present at a time that has been allocated to them, rather than having to wait for an availability.”

Walk-in patients are always welcome to the service however and Orange Urgent Care will always try to help where necessary.

The Orange Urgent Care Service is open from 8am to 8pm, 365 days a year.

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

AIR FORCE ROULETTES FLYING DISPLAY Photos by CEC TILBURG

On Sunday, 13th April, the skies over Orange came alive as the Royal Australian Air Force Roulettes wowed the crowd with a thrilling aerobatic display above Gosling Creek.

Flying in tight formation with their six Pilatus PC-21 aircraft, the Roulettes demonstrated incredible skill, precision, and teamwork that had locals looking skyward in awe. It was a spectacular sight, and by the looks of the crowd, just about all of Orange turned out to witness the event.

The excitement didn’t end in the air. After the show, the pilots landed at Orange Airport and stuck around to meet the public. Friendly and engaging, they were fantastic ambassadors—chatting with families, handing out stickers, and happily posing for photos with their fans.

It was a truly special experience for the Orange community, and one we won’t forget anytime soon. A huge thank you to the RAAF for sharing their incredible talent and time with us!

Bloomfi f eld Hall Sunday th a 27 7th April 4pm -9pm

Not-for-profit local music organisation JAM Orange has put together a festival of folk and acoustic music, featuring a selection of the region’s best performers at the Bloomfield Hall on Sunday, April 27.

Billed as “an afternoon of the best folk ’n’ acoustic around here for the pleasure of your ear”, the event will feature six acts: No Motor, Limoncello, Sam Bucca, Andy Nelson, Chloë and Jason Roweth, and November Shorn.

It’s bound to be an unforgettable afternoon with each act taking you on an exhilarating musical journey with back-to-back dynamic 40-minute sets: No Motor: this 4-piece acoustic band features upright bass, guitars, banjo and voice, performing up-tempo story-telling songs with humour and skill.

Limoncello: Crafting their sound from a baritone uke and cello, Bathurst-based Annie’s and Sarah’s voices are confident and accomplished with a hint of vulnerability, and it’s these four elements that create Limoncello’s unique allure and depth.

Reimagining a long list of well-chosen pop classics with an often bluesy and soulful leaning, this duo was born to entertain and elicit smiles of musical joy.

Sam Bucca: Sam Bucca a bush punk rock and roll poet, writing personal and visceral songs on Wiradyuri country. His acoustic guitar provides

a rhythmic and dexterous counterpoint to Sam’s powerful voice, as he sings with humour and deep consideration of contemporary social and cultural issues Andy Nelson: Andy’s soulful blend of contemporary folk and Americana speaks straight to the heart. His poignant lyrics touch on universal themes of family, love, and loss, while his deep, warm voice and dynamic acoustic guitar draw listeners in.

Chloë and Jason Roweth: Chloë and Jason have been researching and performing the living tradition of Australian music for over twenty years.

They gather and present the songs and poems of the kitchen, the verandah, the shearers’ huts, the local pub – and the yarns that go with them – in all their ornery detail. Drawing their inspiration from the warmth of old-style bush entertainment, the Roweths create vibrant arrangements of new and old traditional Australian ballads and work songs,

early country music, original music, poetry, yarns, and dance tunes weaving together and carrying forward many threads of the Australian tradition.

November Shorn: November Shorn, the Central West’s premier acoustic bush band, plays material from Australia’s rich bush music heritage and tunes from Europe, particularly England, Ireland and Scotland. Many years of performing in country halls, pubs, woolsheds and tents from Bourke to Sydney have established the band’s reputation as a popular and good fun dance band who continue to be in high demand.

Autumn Bloom, 4–9pm on Sunday April 27, promises to be an afternoon packed with delectable sounds that will ignite your auditory senses. There will be bar stocked with popular local beer and wine, soft drinks and water. There will also be a barbecue with meat and veggie offerings to satisfy all.. Tickets are $25 via eventbrite.com.au

Millthorpe Named Finalist for NSW Top Tourism Town

Millthorpe has been named a finalist for the NSW’s Top Tourism Town awards in the Tiny Town category.

With its variety of visitor experiences, Millthorpe is a prime example of a top tourism town, Cr Reynolds said.

The award highlights the quality of a location from a tourism standpoint and is judged by both a public vote, as well as a panel of judges who take into account a video, editorial story about the village and an itinerary which showcase the highlights of the village.

“I hope the village receives the recognition it deserves as it is the kind of place that visitors just love coming back to,” he said.

Blayney Shire Mayor Bruce Reynolds aid it’s fantastic that the village has been shortlisted as a finalist he encouraged both locals and visitors to cast a vote for Millthorpe.

“The village provides an amazing visitor experience with first rate dining, high quality cellar doors, boutique shopping, cafes, a lolly shop to die for, an amazing rural museum and a variety of quality accommodation,” Cr Reynolds said.

“There is also history all over the village with an array of old buildings from hotels, banks and houses to school buildings and an operating railway station dating back to 1886.

purposes “SEE, THIS IS GETTING US NOWHERE. LOOK HOW THE WHOLE WORLD HAS GONE AFTER HIM!” (JOHN 12:19) with SCOTT HAZELTON Are you tired of chasing after the latest fad one moment, only for it to inevitably fade into the rear vision mirror as another thing takes it’s place? There was a time when the world was chasing after Jesus—not just for the miracles He performed, but because of the hope, truth, and love He embodied. People saw in Him something greater than the temporary distractions of life. But as the events of Holy Week unfold, we also see how quickly some of that same crowd turned away when following Jesus became difficult. So, as we approach Easter, it’s worth asking: What are we going after? Are we pursuing things that will fade away, or are we following the One who offers eternal life? To “go after” Jesus means more than just admiring Him from a distance—it means choosing to live by His truth, even when it’s not the popular choice. It means trusting that what He offers is better than anything the world can promise. Jesus wasn’t just a fad, 2000 years later the whole world still stops due to the indelible mark he has left on history. Palm Sunday and the Easter Holidays are upon us. Let’s take time to reflect on where our hearts are leading us and think deeply about what it truly means to follow Jesus—not just in moments of excitement, but in the everyday choices we make.

Rita

Williams 02.09.1938 ~ 20.04.2021

The moment that you left us, our hearts split in two.

One side was filled with memories, the other died with you.

We often lay awake at night, when the world is fast asleep.

And take a walk down memory lane with tears upon our cheek.

Remembering you is easy, we do it every day.

But missing you is a heartache, that never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, and there you shall remain.

Life has gone on without you, but it can never, ever, be the same. from your loving family

used and in good condition.

The sulky is suitable for a large horse with a three person leather seat.”

EASTER FESTIVAL Photos by CEC TILBURG

The annual Easter Festival brought joy to Robertson Park on Sunday, with families from across Orange turning out to enjoy a fun-filled day in perfect autumn weather.

The park was buzzing with excitement, offering a great mix of live music, children’s entertainment, and plenty of Easter-themed activities to keep everyone smiling. From face painting and craft stations to an Easter egg hunt, there was something for kids of all ages.

With school holidays just beginning, the festival was the perfect way for families to relax, have fun, and celebrate the Easter spirit together.

A wonderful day out for our local community!
