Water Safety The aquatic environment around rivers and lagoons can be unpredictable. Please take note of these safety tips: CHECK THE WATER CONDITIONS Beware of fast flowing water, submerged objects and deep water.

Watch water levels in rivers as they can rise suddenly due to water releases from reservoirs and after heavy rainfall.

During droughts, check for submerged hazards that may now be exposed and beware of poor water quality.

Beware of steep, slippery or overhanging banks or paths.

SWIM SAFETY Check the water depth before going in. River and lake bed conditions can change rapidly.

Never dive in head first, never jump into the water from heights.

Always enter the water slowly.

Be aware of other river uses, especially boats and watercraft.

Never swim alone. Make sure that someone else is there to provide or get help.

Never use a tree rope swing.

Tree rope swings are dangerous and are often associated with serious injuries.

Be aware of currents and undertows.

If you get into trouble in the water, stay calm. Signal for help, then float on your back feet first with the current. Don’t panic If someone needs help in the water, stay dry and reach out to them with a stick or throw a rope Inland waters can be very cold.

Beware of hypothermia even in summer.

Never rely on pool float toys to keep you safe.

Avoid drugs and alcohol around water.

It was hung in Parliament House during the Games.

The painting depicts various Aboriginal design elements including the Eaglehawk, which is the Barundji/Barkindji totem. It also depicts a white feather to symbolise safe travel, which is also a Barundji/Barkindji belief.

It was created by four Barundji/Barkindji artists: Elsie Black, Gertrude Gittins, Eileen Ballangarry and Sos Hawkins. These women can trace their family back at least 700 years as direct matriarchal descendants of the tribe.

Move to Murrumbidgee Now is the time to relocate and make one of Murrumbidgee Council towns your home.

Darlington Point

Head to the ‘The Point’ (as it’s affectionately known by locals) for a relaxed and nature-based lifestyle next to the Murrumbidgee River.

Agriculture is the key industry for Darlington Point, with tourism emerging. In town an NRMA garage, newsagent-hardware, supermarket, butcher, hairdresser, post-office, two cafes, pub and town pool means you can comfortably access all you need in the relaxed and welcoming style of an authentic country town.

Coleambally

Business opportunity is plentiful. Value-add in agriculture is advancing prospects for further development. The industrial areas provide the town with automotive and tyre services, transport, hardware and building supplies, engineering and agricultural industries. A range of seasonal and steady employment can be found in the rice and cotton industries, and general agricultural work.

Coleambally is the education hub of Murrumbidgee Council area. Coleambally Central School offers K to 12 education; St Peter’s Primary School provides choice in the early years. Tirkandi Innaburra located outside the town perimeters on the Kidman Way, provides an innovative culturally based residential program for aboriginal boys aged 12-15 from across NSW and northern Victoria.

Tennis, netball, basketball, football, bowls, cricket and squash are catered for in the sporting precinct in the heart of town. The outdoor swimming pool is heated over summer to extend the season; it has shaded grassed areas to relax. A short drive from the town centre takes you to the clay target shooting, pistol club or the sand greens golf course. Visitors are welcome to join in any sporting activity.

54 | E X P L O R E M U R R U M B I D G E E C O U N C I L

Jerilderie

Jerilderie has much to entice the ‘tree-changer’.

Services include pre and primary schools, early learning centres, medical facilities, pharmacy, supermarket and sporting precincts offering football, netball, tennis through to bowls.

Lower cost of living and laid-back lifestyle in an unspoiled country location are just some of the Jerilderie advantages.

Wunnamurra Estate offers a ‘treechange for small change’ in a majestic creek-side location.

With outback adventure on the doorstep, the security of the small community keeps homes and assets safe when wanderlust strikes.

The productive plains surrounding Jerilderie make a significant contribution to Australia’s fresh produce including Billabong Produce tomatoes and olives, rice, Bonic’s organic wines, cotton and cereal cropping. Transport, services, seasonal and permanent work, keep unemployment statistics low and living easy.
