FREYA BLACKWOOD

#amusutheatremanildra

one of our favourite locals and internationally awarded children’s book illustrators From a sunlit artist’s studio in the backyard of her home in Orange, Freya Blackwood creates intricate hand-painted illustrations for books published around the world.

‘I work for clients in Sydney, Melbourne, New York, and London at times. I can just draw it, scan it, and send it.’ Freya admits.

After studying design at UTS in Sydney, Freya worked in the film industry, including years as an effects technician which included intricately painting the feet of Hobbits on the set of Lord of the Rings in New Zealand before switching to illustrating for children’s books.

#sculpturesoforangeregion

cultural chit chat A ground-breaking partnership between Orange Health Service and Orange Regional Gallery is making an extensive range of original artworks available within a health setting. The Gallery is exhibiting works from its permanent collection throughout the Orange Health Service, bringing the collection to over 200,000 people per year.

Regular art tours are conducted by the curator...

A must if there is a tour on when you’re here!

‘Coming back here was instantly so much easier and also cheaper. I can comfortably live here, and doing what I do I couldn’t ever live in Sydney,’ she said.

Freya has grown to love the convenience of Orange, whether it’s taking her daughter to music lessons or discovering a beautiful picnic spot near town.

‘It’s still as lovely as my childhood memories and there’s so many opportunities here.’

What makes Orange so attractive?

Perhaps start the night at a local wine bar – then move on to a cocktail, or grab a beer at one of our great country pubs. Then enjoy some good pub grub before hitting the dance floor to bust out your moves. if you’re here with the girls or a

bucks with the guys, with friends in a group or with your partner our night life is lots of fun!

From February to April each year the Blowes Conservatory in Cook Park displays a beautiful collection of Begonias. C W Curran is claimed to have been the first person to introduce Begonias to Orange. Later Alf Blowes, who was Mayor at the time, was instrumental in building the Conservatory in 1934.

grab a copy, and bring your camera!

You can peddle your way around the region on over 14 road bike trails in and around Orange city. Or if you’d rather jump on your mountain bike there are currently four trails to test your skills. download the Cycle Orange Guide, for

the trail locations and strava links.

JASON BELMONTE World Champion Pro Bowler AND one of our favourite SPORTING locals When Jason Belmonte was a toddler his parents opened the Orange Tenpin Bowling Centre, as a result, he started rolling a ball at 18 months.

‘The only problem for me though was as an 18-month-old baby boy lifting a 4.5kg bowling ball ... it was a little hard, so I pushed the ball with two hands.’ In doing so Jason developed the famous twohanded style which he uses today.

Jason was the first man ever to score 300 at a World Ten-Pin Masters, in 2005. In 2008/09 he won the Rookie of the Year and has now become just one of five people in the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) history to have captured the Player of the Year award along with the Rookie of the Year award. With a win at the Oklahoma Open during the 2014 Summer Swing, he became the 2nd fastest pro bowler to win 10 titles (in just 80 events).

By Stent Event Photography

The Orange region has many annual sporting events which you can participate in too. If you’re a mountain biker, runner, triathlete, road biker, gym enthusiast, golfer, shooter, swimmer, CrossFit crazy, tennis player or even lawn bowler we guarantee there is something for you to participate in. We’ve got all the sporting events covered on the website so go to www.visitorange.com.au for your complete guide to a sporting holiday in the Orange region.

While Jason competes all over the world he still considers Orange his ‘home’.

‘Without any doubt I will be 72 years old and still bowling in the doubles league at home. It is in my blood.’

DR GABRIEL SHANNON an order of Australia (AM) for his services to medicine is one reason Dr Shannon is one of our favourite locals Tourists come to Orange drawn to the region’s culture of excellent food and wine, and the opportunity to experience the beauty of the four seasons.

But, for Orange Health Service Staff Specialist Physician, Associate Professor Gabriel Shannon, and many others like him, the choice of fine dining is just the icing on the cake. At last count, Orange has more than 80 medical specialists and more than 50 GPs.

#cadiavalleyoperations

The real draw cards are the chance for a much broader professional experience, and for family members to have a choice of schools and find satisfying work.

‘My father was born in Orange so we used to come up here to see my grandparents,’ he recalls. ‘I knew I’d always wanted to go to a large regional centre.’

For a medico who wanted to treat ‘the whole person’ instead of specific body parts, the best option was a move to the country. For Dr Shannon, Orange is ’a more rewarding and stimulating place and you’ve got a cohort of people you can work with, and bounce ideas off and you’re not in isolation.’

ouR Gold HISToRy

Everyone loves a good ol’ gold tale! ... and this region has plenty to tell, this is where it all started back in 1851

now over 100 years on we are still trading gold. Cadia Valley Operations (CVO) is one of Australia’s largest gold mining operations and a major employer in the region.

CVO offers guided surface tours of the mine for visitors. Check tour availability by visiting www.cadiavalley.com.au/tours.

We encourage you to discover the rich gold heritage trail of the Orange region - hire a pan from the Orange Visitor Information Centre and fossick for yourself, download the gold trail brochures, or tour a mine.

TIP: Also visit www.goldtrails.com.au for the full REGIONAL story!

add to my itinerary

Ophir Reserve (26kms north east of Orange) was the site of the first payable gold back in 1851 leading to australia’s first gold rush!

Later discoveries of gold in nearby areas led to the establishment of Orange as a central trading centre for the gold.

ALF CANTRELL

one of Our favourite village localS who owns the Banjo paterson museum in yeoval

#Millthorperailwaystation - then

The birthplace of Australia’s best known poet A.B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson attracts a steady stream of visitors, both to Orange and the nearby villages such as Yeoval where Banjo spent his early years on the family farm.

Owner of Yeoval’s Banjo Paterson Museum,

Alf Cantrell, believes people are searching for the colour of Banjo’s Australia when they visit Yeoval. ‘They

#Millthorperailwaystation - now

could be looking for that and they certainly find it. It would not be unusual to walk out the front of here to go back to your car and for someone to be riding past on a horse … it would not be unusual at all.’

‘We came to live in Yeoval thirty years ago.

This is where Banjo Paterson lived. This is where the family property of Buckinbah was.’ says Alf.

#Unionbankorange - then

The museum’s displays mirror the colourful twists and turns that piece together Banjo’s life. ‘His writings did touch on an awful lot because he was a man of great adventure,’ said Alf ... who is always ready with a little known fragment of the writer’s life.
