William Cox Historical Festival Celebrates Bicentenary Trilogy This year’s William Cox Historical Festival and Open Day at the Arms of Australia Inn Museum on Sunday July 19 marks the final chapter in the bicentenary trilogy of the colony’s early years. At 11am on the day, Fiona Scott, Federal MP for Lindsay will unveil a plaque at the museum to commemorate the three bicentenaries, the crossing of the Blue Mountains by Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson in 1813; the building of the road across the mountains by William Cox in 1814; and Governor Macquarie’s trip over the new road to the settlement on the western plains, which he named Bathurst. Music by Tall Timbre Country and Western Band, with guests Roger Corbett and Clare O’Meara from the Bushwackers, and the Penrith City Band, will entertain visitors. To make sure all goes smoothly, the NSW Corps of Marines will keep order. As in previous years, the festival will have a host of activities for young and old - including wagon rides, animals and pony rides, the old fashioned school room, merry-go-round and jumping castle, plus plenty of stalls and food. The William Cox Festival and Open Day is at the Arms of Australia Inn Museum on the corner of the Great Western Highway and Gardenia Avenue, Emu Plains from 9am to 3pm. Admission is free.
