The Wiradjuri nation once covered an area larger than most European countries. The extent of this country is acknowledged in signage in inland areas of New South Wales http://thecastlereagh.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/war-on-frontier.htmlJose the travelling padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328003063287040954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-54333248766136266642012-06-04T19:58:35.626+10:002012-06-04T19:58:35.626+10:00The controversy was manufactured by a few malconte...The controversy was manufactured by a few malcontents. Lithgow is a beacon for Keep Australia Beautiful. It was an industrial town that totally changed its image over a period of 20 years. Lithgow also provides a model for other towns as its numerous Tidy Towns successes are based on community networking and community action. I was proud to lead one of the community groups that hosted 2011 Tidy Towns awards in Lithgow last November. Hundreds Tidy Towns delegates from all over New South Wales were gobsmacked by what the Lithgow community has achieved in areas such as environmental management and heritage, and the things the community continues to achieve. Community alliances in Lithgow are strong, active and achieve great things.Jose the travelling padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328003063287040954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-17725022079739411442012-06-02T17:34:45.488+10:002012-06-02T17:34:45.488+10:00Most Australians are not terribly familiar with th...Most Australians are not terribly familiar with the indigenous nations that populated the areas where they live but there is a real effort these days to acknowledge them and for us to understand more.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-24680439140313657932012-06-02T08:18:52.168+10:002012-06-02T08:18:52.168+10:00Golly, Winam is insistent today?
