BOOM TOWN! NEW WORKS HELPING ORANGE RECOVER FROM BIG SLOWDOWN

Talking POINTS

with BOB HOLLAND

In Newswatch a few weeks back, I floated the idea of establishing what I called the Orange Walk of Art. The idea being that along the main walking track at the Botanical Gardens, we place murals or other artworks for walkers and visitors to enjoy. I thought then, and still do, it’s a great idea and very doable, so much so that I’d like encourage a serious community discussion on the idea, especially among those who have an interest the Botanical Gardens, local art or simply adding to our tourist offering. I’d particularly be interested in hearing from a service club who may like to consider becoming involved as part of their community service. Let’s start talking about the idea, in the meantime I’ll keep you posted with what do. There are some strange people out there, or maybe just desperate. Last week I heard of someone seen swapping large eggs with small eggs between cartons at a local supermarket. Really, do people do that?

Major new developments for Orange show the colour city is set to become a boom-town as it quickly rebounds from the coronavirus crisis. A near-record Long Weekend for visitors, major new fast-food developments on the northern distributor and in town, a new truck stop development, and plans for three major CBD hotel developments, forecast a bright future, Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said. “We’ve got two hotels that will open within 12 months, so that’s incredible in itself,” Cr Kidd said. The coronavirus lockdown has barely-

dented development in the city, Director of Development Services, Mark Hodges said. “We’ve got around 100 development applications for a total value of around $60 million,” Mr Hodges said. “There’s three DA’s for hotels, so that’s pretty impressive on its own,” Mr Hodges added. A proposed new truck stop development and series of fast-food outlets in north Orange on a “greenfields” site near Bunnings on the northern distributor is only one of a number of positive indicators for the local economy, Cr Kidd thinks. “I believe two things are generating the growth for Orange, the health precinct (at Bloomfield) with the hospital, Ronald

McDonald House, nursing homes, and the private hospital that is about threequarters finished. There’s also a new motel adjacent to the private hospital. “There’s also the new DPI building that will contain more than just the department itself. There’s also some infrastructure and planning staff relocating there as well,” Cr Kidd said. The Mayor, in his last term before retiring at the delayed Council elections in 2021, said that Council must pursue as much capital works funds as possible while Federal and State governments are allocating money to help local communities recover from the coronavirus.

Recently my wife and I watched a movie called Call of the Wild with Harrison Ford. We thought it would be just another rework of one of the stories about a dog called Buck and his ventures in the Yukon. It sort of was but nothing like we expected. It’s not a blockbuster but for sheer entertainment, it’s a cracker! It’s absolutely amazing what they can do with digital technology today, a la the latest Lion King movie. What do you think of the new lights that adorn parts of Summer Street now? They’re certainly bright! I was encouraged last week when my delivery guy told me our printer had overprinted Newswatch and we ended up getting closer to 6,000 copies rather than the 5,000 we ordered. Better still, he tells me to order an extra 500 each week because they are going so well. Not all local newspapers are dying, eh?

LONG WEEKEND ¡ARRIBA, ARRIBA! FOR NEW TEX-MEX OUTLET IN ORANGE It’s ¡Ay, caramba! for Orange locals if you enjoy a nice taco or burrito… You might have missed the news during the big quarantine, but American tex-mex fast food restaurant Taco Bell is coming to Orange. Vehicular access issues at the old Thomson’s Nursery site on the Bathurst Road are currently being negotiated with Council with Orange likely to get one of the State’s first outlets of the famous American food outlets. “We’ve got traffic matters to sort-out at the moment, but that’s nothing unusual in development like this,” Orange City Council’s Director of Development Services, Mark Hodges said.

The proposal includes drive through and sit-down service with provision for about 25 parking spots with a number of trees, shrubs, and ground-cover included in the plans. Taco Bell is an American fast food restaurant chain based in California which serves a variety of Mexican and Tex-Mex foods that include tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos. There are currently only two stores in NSW with plans to open a number of other outlets in the near future.

Orange is suddenly popular amongst hotel developers with another two developments in the pipeline following last week’s announcement of a new four-star facility for the city. Old Australia Cinema complex in Lords Place is the latest one of two new sites proposed for CBD hotel developments in Orange. Following recent announcement of a nearly 100-room $35 million development near the Summer Centre, two more hotels have been planned for central Orange. Council recently received a DA (development application) to convert the old Australian Cinema site as a motel with 30-odd rooms, Orange City Council’s Director of Development Services, Mark Hodges explained. But this was not the only new complex in the works with another planned near the current Department of Primary Industries office in east Orange. “There’s also a bigger motel planned for Endsleigh Avenue, one of the old railway sheds will have to come down,” Mr Hodges said. The new development has a price tag of about $6.2 million, he added. The old cinema for a number of years was Orange’s major movie complex before construction of the Odeon 5. It was later purchased by a local church group who used it as their office for some time. It was eventually sold in 2018 to a developer for the site.

Since 1 July 2019, Orange Council has approved some 487 Development Applications with a total capital investment value of around $125M. (see attached graphs) Council currently has around 100 Development Applications on its books for assessment — the value of these works is an additional $62M. With the new Summer Centre motel development, that’s another $21M. The top six (by value applications) Council has on its books are: 1. Solar Farm on 643 Mitchell Highway — $9.8M. For the construction of some 16,000 solar modules/panels to make a 5MW electricity generator, with battery storage. 2. Motel — 155 Kite Street — $4.35M. A total of 62 rooms on the eastern side of the railway line (behind the businesses in Endsleigh Ave, just near the old railway pedestrian bridge and the existing DPI building) 3. Aluminium Extrusion Industry — 5-7 Edward St - $5M. Transforming ingots of aluminium into aluminium window frames and doors. The frames are also powder coated and

re-uses sheds on the old Electrolux site. It will be a 24-hour business, employing around 17 staff per shift and 10 staff in their office through the day. 4. Motel — $4.35M — 183 Lords Place — Including 31 Rooms, with function room and retail space to creatively re-use an old heritage building in the CBD. 5. Redevelopment of the Agrestic Grocer — 426 Mitchell Hwy — $3.9M. To provide for new speciality shops with a focus on local fresh food and wine, will have a small bar associated with the existing brewery, and provide for some tourist accommodation units. 6. Orange Regional Gallery Extension — (Council) — $3.5M. Extension of the gallery in the civic precinct (near the library) Other developments include $3.2M for alterations and additions to Duntryleague Guesthouse; $2.5M Industrial Arts building at Kinross Wolaroi School; $1.1M takeaway food premises on the old Thompson’s Nursery Site on Bathurst Road.

Relaxation of regional travel restrictions saw a visitor boom to Orange district over the June Long Weekend with thousands visiting the region. Orange looked like a normal, busy Queens Birthday Holiday with wineries, restaurants, accommodation, coffee shops, and local sites of interest all reporting brisk business. Crowded streets, shops, and outdoor venues saw a refreshing return to normality after months of dispiriting lockdowns from the coronavirus, Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said. Cr Kidd put himself around town and was gladdened to witness our city starting to return to its old, prosperous self following the lifting of travel restrictions within NSW. “It was unbelievable, I went all around the place, it didn’t matter what time, there were people everywhere… in and out of restaurants, coffee shops, street traffic, and in the shopping centres,” he enthused.

“Sunday afternoon I went out to the lake (Canobolas) and I’ve never seen such crowds, there were so many people on the (dam) wall. We went up to Federal Falls and there were people having picnics, people on the walking trails, it was fantastic,” he said. Figures from Orange Visitors Information Centre confirm what most locals witnessed, a huge surge in people coming-out from Sydney and other areas to experience the Central Tablelands’ famously-pristine early-winter weather. “Saturday was our busiest day with around 300 people through the doors at the Visitors Information Centre, and Sunday and Monday were also quite busy,” Cr Kidd said. “Overall, numbers were down on 2019 — as you’d expect with the COVID restrictions in place at restaurants, cellar doors and so on — but online contact was up with more than 10,000 visitors to the website last week,” Cr Kidd concluded.

CHOC-TOPS BIG SELLERS FOR FILM-CRAVING MOVIE BUFFS While re-opening of the Odeon for movies is “a crystal ball job” at the moment; the local cinema has found an inventive way to give film fans that home movie experience.

The Candy Bar at the otherwise-shuttered theatre is opening Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 2pm for popcorn and other traditional movie-time treats: “Our choctops are our biggest sellers,” Manager Helen Oliver explained. Local movie buffs, she says, are counting down to the days until the silver screen can again light-up the lives of so many of us. “A lot of people are ringing-in; we’ve got quite a devoted following, and many are still active on our Facebook page,” she said. While indoor facilities such as gyms and indoor sports are re-opening from the coronavirus lockdown from this week, for picture theatres; it’s still a guessing game as to the State Government’s intentions. “We haven’t been told; we’re not officially on the (reopening) list at this stage,” Helen explained. “it’s just a crystal ball job,” she said.

The Federal Government has released strict guidelines outlining how various businesses should reopen, including those in the entertainment and leisure sector.

She said that the long delays for blockbuster movies scheduled for screening during lockdown has created: “…a bit of anticipation, we are in it as well, people are ready to get out.”

Helen says that, one factor though is what movies will be available once cinemas are re-opened. Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” is set-down for a July 16 release date with the latest James Bond movie, “No Time to Die”; “Top Gun: Maverick”; “Wonder Woman 1984”; and the live-action film “Mulan,” still awaiting rescheduled premieres.

She said that weekly online meetings of the Independent Cinema Distributors of whom the Odeon is a member says that re-opening is “in the lap of the Gods… there are so many

“A lot depends on what comes from our distributors in the way of movies, but we’re looking at July–August at the moment,” Helen concluded.

COMPLETE CAMERA HOUSE For more than 30 years, the Complete Camera House has been the go-to place for all things photography and printing. The past three decades has seen digital photography has come a long way. Gone are the days of waiting to get a film developed to see if you got that perfect shot, and so Camera House too has had changed. “In those days there were three people in the lab, it was really labour intensive” said Trish Pasquali, who owns the business with her husband Ric. “We had a little dance happening with the three of us working in a tiny space, now it’s a whole lot less intensive as far as feet on the ground, but it is more technical.” Rather than basic film processing, it is specialised photo printing that customers are now looking for: canvases and large prints for wall art, photo books, gifts and keepsakes. “We’ve added custom framing,” said Trish.

“It is my favourite part of the business. It is lovely and very individual, limited only be the imagination of the customer. We thought that was a good link between people having taken something that catches their eye, that we are then able to get in on the wall. “So, we have everything for people from buying a camera, printing their product, working through to something they can put on the wall or even sell.” The quality of cameras available to the general consumer now means everyone has the ability to take good photo, said Trish, and people and definitely getting better at it. “People are taking a lot more photos and trusting themselves to take more photos. Everybody has access to it and the ability to produce something great, so that’s good,” she said “It is bringing photography to everybody rather than it being a professional service. And the great thing from our point of view is people will come to us and print and we see some amazing things coming through!” Joining the Camera House buying group has

We have a Camera House store in Griffith which does all the metal printing for the whole group. So, we do some networking that way and try to give people the widest

So, we’ve got people sending films in which we process here. It’s great to see there’s a revival!”

THEY’RE NO MONA LISAS… “FIGHTS IN AISLE THREE”

BUT COOK PARK FLYING FOXES ARE NATIVE AND ALSO COVID-19 FREE!

ARE NOW WORTH IT! The forbearance and hard-work of Woolworths employees during the recent coronavirus crisis have been rewarded with thousands of staff given an ownership stake in the company via shares. Eligible full-time staff within the Group will each receive up to $750 of Woolworths Group shares with part-time eligible team members allocated shares on a pro-rata basis. Woolworths CEO, Brad Banducci, said: “From protests in Hong Kong, droughts and bushfires in Australia to the devastating volcanic activity in New Zealand and finally COVID-19, we have pulled together as a team to support each other, our customers and the communities in which we live and operate.

By David Dixon To many locals, they’re ugly, noisy, scary, and obtrusive… they are the grey-headed flying foxes regularlydomiciled during the warmer months in Cook Park. Yes, they are a native animal, and no, they definitely do not carry the coronavirus! Orange City Council has no concrete plans to try to discourage the colony, or “cloud” from settling here each year, but has applied for funds to develop a city-wide “Flying-fox Camp Management Plan” for the species. While no Australian bat is known to carry the deadly diease responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic that has killed nearly half a million people worldwide, the species (Pteropus poliocephalus)

Orange are a threatened species of bat currently facing challenges due to bushfires, extreme heat events, habitat loss and deliberate dispersal from urban/periurban camps,” Susan Campbell from the Society explained. She said that their ability to fly great distances is what has brought them to Orange. “A fundamental problem underlying current approaches to urban roosts is a lack of understanding of the extraordinary mobility of flying-foxes. “They are some of the most mobile animals in Australia, with movements that range from foraging trips of up to 120km in a single night to long-distance nomadism covering thousands of kilometres in a single year.

Since about 2010, Orange has become a temporary home for hundreds of the animals during the warmer months, Orange City Council Communications Officer, Allan Reeder explained. “For about the last ten years, Orange has been visited during the summer by greyheaded flying foxes. “They routinely stay for a number of months in different neighbourhoods in Orange. Some years, they stay in Cook Park. In other years, they’ve stayed in Ploughman’s Lane, Bathurst Road and Kite Street. The flying foxes leave each year once temperatures start to drop. The current population in Cook Park has dropped to less than fifty,” he said. If you find their presence in Orange a little-unsettling, well, according to the Australasian Bat Society, it’s our own fault. “The flying-foxes that are residing in

It is likely then that our local forested areas of untouched native bush is what originally brought them to the Colour City. “A protected species, their food is largely eucalyptus nectar and they raise young as part of a colony sharing ‘child-care’ responsibilities.

“While roosts can remain active for decades, they are more like backpacker hostels than stable households, housing a constantly changing clientele that comes to visit local attractions. “Roosts are connected into large networks through which flying-foxes move in response to changes in local food resources,” Ms Campbell added.

“Flying foxes are known to carry Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) and Hendra Virus. While it’s very unlikely that someone in the park can catch this disease from a flying fox, if someone finds an injured bat on the ground, they are encouraged to contact WIRES, rather than risk being scratched or bitten. There is no scientific evidence of COVID-19 in Australian bats.” “The City Council has placed signs in Cook Park to help educate the community about what’s interesting about these creatures. Council has applied for grant funds to develop a city-wide Flying-fox Camp Management Plan to look at how to manage the temporary camps when they come to Orange,” Mr Reeder concluded.

“This has taken an enormous amount of hard work and dedication and through our collective commitment we have indeed lived our purpose of creating better experiences together for a better tomorrow.” Casual team members in Australia who joined the Group on or after 1 March 2020 to assist in helping during COVID-19 will be able to keep their team discount until the end of December of this year, Mr Banducci.

ALCOHOL ADVERTISING LEADS TO INCREASED UPTAKE AND INTAKE Ever wondered about the effects of continuous alcohol advertising on young minds? With the NRL firmly back on Australians’ television screens and the AFL season restarted Thursday, Monash researchers have highlighted the continuing problem of children’s exposure to alcohol advertising when watching sport. Researchers from the Behavioural Sciences Research Laboratory in the Faculty of Arts at Monash University say children and young people exposed to alcohol advertising and sponsorship have an earlier uptake of drinking and can develop more hazardous drinking habits. Originally prepared for the Federal Government, the report examined all available evidence on the nature and extent of alcohol advertising and sponsorship in Australia and the impact of children and young people’s exposure to it on their drinking behaviour and attitudes. “The more alcohol advertising a young person is exposed to, the more at risk they are of taking up drinking and using alcohol in a harmful way. There is a clear dose-response effect.” The report showed the majority of Australians (approximately 70 per cent) and particularly parents (80 per cent) supported stronger restrictions on alcohol advertising and sponsorship.

AMANDA SPALDING with Bob Holland

BOB: Amanda, over the last couple of weeks we’ve been talking about trying to identify some of the main priorities that our Council should consider, especially given it’s budget time. Those we raised last week come from myself and other community feedback that you’ve been hearing. I’m also aware that Put Orange First, a group that you play a vital role in, is putting in a budget submission as part of the community input process. This week, I wondered if you might like to tell us if any of the priorities we mentioned last week feature in Council’s budget plans, and maybe a bit about Put Orange First’s budget submission? AMANDA: I have a copy of the Put Orange First budget submission, and I have received informal information about issues that other community members have raised. Put Orange First made a submission to Council’s budget last year and were essentially told that it was too late to make a difference, which goes against the idea of exhibiting the budget and a council must consider any submissions that have been made concerning the draft plan in approving the budget, which I understand is expected to occur at the 23rd June Council meeting. The Put Orange First group was greatly concerned that Council has not extended the consultation period on the budget beyond 28 days this year despite COVID-19 and the fact that it has extended its consultation period on Development Applications to 40 days. Councillors gave themselves an extra three weeks to develop the budget while giving the community no extra time, nor any additional engagement methods. It is actually very difficult to comment on Council’s Delivery Plan/Operational Plan (which includes the annual Budget for 2020/21 and the following 3 years) because it has been a moveable feast this year since the draft went to Council twice and the wrong Delivery Plan/Operational Plan is on exhibition on Council’s Your Say webpage – it’s last year’s Plan. There is also an important mandatory element missing, in breach of the Local Government Act (S405), which requires that the Council include a map showing where the various rates will apply within the local government area. The Put Orange First group would like to see where the CBD rates apply, and would like to see the Economic Development Department compare CBD rents and rates in Orange with Sydney, Parramatta, Bathurst and Dubbo. The draft budget reveals plans to spend $78.9 million on capital projects in the coming year, part of a projected four year capital spend of $226 .6 million from 2020/21 to 2023/24. This compares with the 2019/20 budget that planned to spend $73.2M in 2019/20. The Group welcomes economic stimulus and would still like to have discussions about other ways Council can stimulate the local economy including working with local property owners to consider the costs of doing business in Orange.

One of the late changes that was made to the 2019-20 budget was to defer the Corporate Services restructure and save $260,000. Put Orange First understood that the restructure had proposed the creation of an Economic Development Office, and would like to know what has happened to this proposal as now is the time to be proactive with economic development. Put Orange first also proposed last year to bring the major players in the advancement of Orange together so that more impact could be made through collaboration than all acting separately, but no such meeting has been held and now there is an additional group in the COVID Rebound Committee, so it is disappointing that the stakeholders have not been brought together to create more impact. Put Orange First made many of the same points as they made last year with an increased emphasis to many of their concerns about bricks and mortar retail in the CBD given the boost the COVID-19 pandemic has given to online retail while shops have been closed, which may have changed people’s shopping habits permanently. Last year the Put Orange First submission suggested that Council employ a CBD Place Manager to facilitate engagement and speed up planning processes particularly in the implementation of the FutureCity proposals. The Place Manager would also work with local property owners over lease costs and customer service training because of

...We need a campaign to commit to retaining retail shops in the CBD or face the alternative of an empty and derelict CBD... concerns from local business people a year ago about the difficulties being faced, particularly by CBD retailers. The following is from the 2019/20 submission and is now an increased concern. ‘In the future what will a CBD consist of if not retail? Actions need to be taken now to reverse current trends and engage local people in understanding that buying online will ultimately mean there are no shops in the City Centre. We need a campaign to commit to retaining retail shops in the CBD or face the alternative of an empty and derelict

CBD. On this basis, the CBD needs to be developed not as a place of shopfronts, but as an experience and we would encourage dialogue with local business about concepts such as creating malls in streets like Anson Street and Lords Place.’ The Group was pleased to see that land sales will underpin the budget and we would like to see what sites Council owns that can be used strategically to promote the sustainable development of our Local Government Area. In agreement with other responses to the budget, the Group disagrees with the proposal for a general rates increase of 2.59%; and water and sewer rates increase of 2.5%. This is at a time when we use less water and the inflation rate has been running at 1.9% for the last 12 months. Given that Orange City Council has the highest combined rates in Australia we do not accept that this rate increase should be needed, nor do we agree with a bulky waste levy being levied against all ratepayers. I am aware of other responses made to Council and some include comments on the proposed increases to Fees and Charges that form part of the budget: 1. N o increase to the rental for the Lake Canobolas Kiosk; 8.05% is extraordinary 2. N o fee increase to personnel associated with the Audit and Risk Management committee 3. No increase in fees for use of the Showground due to minimum use 4. No increase in the hiring of the showground Pavillion 5. N o increase in Poultry & Pigeon Shows hire of the Poultry Pavillion. 6. Congratulations on the draft 50% reduction for hiring the Ag Pavillion to wedding reception bookings. OTHER COMMENTS INCLUDE: What does council have in the draft budget material that will achieve the Key Idea presented at the Community Consultations for “….. suggest that council could advocate for lower or subsidised commercial rents and a campaign to encourage light industry/small manufacturing companies to move … to Orange” (page 17 of Community Strategic Plan – Key ideas; and/or page 46 of the May 12th agenda)? The Operational Plan measurements need to be invigorated as they reflect an outdated method, plus display an inaccurate picture of true results. Quantifiable measurements are required. Financial reports need not always be so cumbersome. If council truly wishes to work with their community it needs to communicate in a language that is utilised by the vast majority. A simple breakup of income and expenditure on total council operations, value of assets, expenditure on assets and revenue required to maintain those assets, depreciation, information on loans, rates and service delivery pricing, and some general demographic statistics are the first items that come to mind.

ULYSSES

CENTURY SINCE ČAPEK’S UNSETTLING VISION: “STEPPENWOLF” AND THE RISE OF THE ROBOTS History sometimes appears to meander like a slow-moving river in a gentle landscape. At others, events rush upon us in a bewildering current of uncertainty. The COVID-19 epidemic — that has swept over the community of nations with the relentless inevitability of a tidal wave in an Irwin Allen 1970s disaster epic — shows that now is such a moment. Among the myriad but barely-acknowledged fears of the coronavirus crisis is the dread that — to avoid this economy-destroying shutdown ever happening again — large companies will increasingly utilise technology to replace their all-too-vulnerable human employees. Could the current crisis prove the crucial moment, the pivot-point, from which the future we all dreaded is about to take over? Even before this pandemic, original thinkers including the late Dr Stephen Hawkings and Bill Gates forecast the future that we have all secretly dreaded since Czech writer Karel Čapek first penned the science fiction play “R.U.R.” — “Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti” (tr: Rossum’s Universal Robots) in 1920. (The word “robot” comes from a Czech word, “robota”, meaning “forced labour”.)

rag-tag resistance rages against the rise of the machines. The kernel of hope in all these dystopic tales is the conviction that humans possess an indefinable Cartesian dualism; a grain of God; a speck of infinity; that the machines will never be able to replicate, understand, or destroy. Remember that iconic first scene in “Bladerunner” (the original 1982 classic) where a seemingly-human “replicant” gets confused trying to answer intuitive ethical dilemmas around human empathy? Caught-out by his inability to understand the nuances of morality, he dramatically murders the bored sweat bladerunner overseeing the questionnaire and so the hunt begins! For those alarmed at the rise of the robots — 50 percent of American workers now fear the effect of robots on their working lives — there is one beacon of hope for the species: “Steppenwolf!”

And many now believe that with the coronavirus now decimating world economies; the 100th anniversary of this work may not be something to celebrate!

“Steppenwolf ” (German for “wolf of the Steppe’s”) were the iconic 1960s acid rock band named after the famous novel by German-Swiss author Hermann Hesse about a suicidal man, in his despair, exploring both his human and animal side.

After a number of f alse dawns in the 1970s and the 1980s where a number of bold, fanciful, unrealistic and even comic efforts to integrate robotics into our lives (who remembers the Federal Government’s multibillion dollar investment in “the robotic sheepshearer”?); we’re now told that the future is here!

The band (not the half-wolf) fashioned late 1960s psychedelic rock classic anthems including “Born to be Wild” — featured at the start of that most-emblematic of movies from the period, “Easy Rider” — and also “Magic Carpet Ride”; two songs that came to embody the rebellious and experimental style of the times.

Robots could take over 20 million manufacturing jobs around the world by the end of the decade, a 2019 study from Oxford Economics forecast. Remember, this report was before the cost-pressures of the biggest world economic slowdown since the Great Depression.

But if one looks up either of these songs on video hosting platforms such as YouTube; something odd happens. After the song finishes, the complex computer algorithm used to choose similar contemporary songs from that period and in the same style, will then load something like Blue Oyster Cult (“She Sells Sanctuary”). Fair enough, apart from being ultimately-eclipsed by their former support act, Kiss, there’s nothing wrong with Blue Oyster Cult.

To feed our fears of the robots taking over is the almost inexhaustible compendium of popular science fiction literature, television, and cinema set in a dreaded near-future where the robots are competing with, undermining, or destroying human society. In the latter category, the remaining “organics” scurry like filthy two-legged rats around broken buildings while a brave

But then on the play-list comes someone like secondtier British heavy metal band, Uriah Heap (“Wizard”); then third-tier British heavy metal band, Judas Priest

(“Breaking the Law”) and then onto Canadian stadium rockers, Foreigner (“I want to Know what Love is”). Before you now it, you’re struck immobile on your lounge with the strained bonhomie of “Land Down Under” by Men at Work sweeping over you! It’s not better for the solo female performers, look-up Kate Bush’s singularly-unique live performance in Christmas 1979 of “Man with the Child In his Eyes.” This soon leads via Youtube’s computerised algorithm onto Annie Lennox (“Why”); Bonnie Tyler (“Total Eclipse of the Heart”); Donna Summer (“Hot Stuff ”), and eventually to the Spice Girls, (“Wannabe”). Remember though, that all randomly selected song lists will eventually compute down to… Daryl Braithwaite’s, “The Horses”! In the rigid formula of the algorithm, there’s only three degrees of separation between, say, The Beatles (“Let it Be”) and Herman’s Hermits (“I’m 'Enery the eighth, I am. ‘Enery the eighth I am, I am”); between Amy Winehouse’s’ “Rehab” and Kylie Minogue’s “Locomotion”. Like the cyborg-human in Bladerunner unable to understand nuances of sympathy and humanity, the algorithm can’t ascertain the qualitative difference between Ed Sheeran and Psy (“Gangnam Style”), between Coldplay and Pink. When it comes to the battle for humanities’ future, when we’re desperately trying to find the mechanical monsters amongst us before they bring us all down, the only question we’ll need to differentiate the organics from the robots is a simple quiz. Question, who is the next group in this line… ”Sex Pistols, the Clash, Joy Division, …” if the “person” answers “Flock of Seagulls,” “Adam Ant” or “Culture Club” instead of “Siouxsie and the Banshees,” “the Jam,” or “Dead Kennedys” then you’ve got a replicant on your hands, better run quick. Like the self-driving Tesla Model X which crashed into a roadside barrier in March 2018 and caught fire while on Autopilot resulting in the “driver’s” death; you may find yourself the first victim in the robot wars!

BIRD’S-EYEview with JEANINE BIRD

COMMON SENSE: WHERE DID IT GO??? Ahhh! Does anyone actually remember Common Sense? Anyone know anyone who is still endowed with it? Can anyone identify a pollie with it? We’ve just put heaps of mum and dad businesses, and some corporates, OUT of business because of a giant global flu scare generated by what will probably turn out to be those who’ll make a buck out of either a vaccine, taking markets from nations, foreclosing on homes and businesses, or some other thing that at present remains buried in a whole heap of corona rubble. Suicides, cancer, and road deaths far outweigh the flu. Instead of just approaching it with good old common sense and taking precautions, we shivered in our boots and listened to the discredited World Health Organisation and their various agencies tell us we must panic. So, panic we did. Now, do we ban cars because people have accidents? I suppose we should. We took guns off all the responsible people because of one or two irresponsible ones. I’ve always asked those who believe in the UN’s version of “climate change” (not the normal every day seasonal change that’s everywhere), whether we should ban all their global travel because of the emissions from jets. The uncommon sense we’re used to having thrust upon us would say “yes” (but let’s find a way we “global climate elite” could keep travelling, while everyone else stays at home). Common sense would temper that with caution to offset negligence. Common sense wouldn’t go over-board. Seriously, where HAS it gone? I think I found out last week, when I was sent an abridged and updated version of “The Death of Common Sense,” originally by Lori Borgman. You can read the original at www.loriborgman.com. Meanwhile, enjoy this version and lament!

THE DEATH OF COMMON SENSE - AN OBITUARY Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, aka C.S., who has been with us for many years. HIS OBITUARY READS AS FOLLOWS: No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago entangled in miles and miles of bureaucratic red tape. Known affectionately to close friends as Horse Sense and Sound Thinking, he selflessly devoted himself to a life of service in homes, schools, hospitals and offices, helping folks get jobs done without a lot of fanfare, attention or recognition. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: - Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm; - Life isn’t always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn); reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children, are in charge); and prudent dietary plans (offset eggs and bacon with a little fibre and orange juice). A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, the Technological Revolution and the Smoking Crusades, C.S. survived sundry cultural and educational trends including

disco, the men’s movement, body piercing, whole language and new maths. C.S.’s health began declining in the late 1960s when he became infected with the If-It-Feels-Good, Do-It virus. In the following decades, his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal and state rules and regulations, and oppressive taxes. C.S. was sapped of strength and the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, criminals received better treatment than victims, and judges stuck their noses in everything. C.S.’s deterioration accelerated when more well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. C.S.’s health declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became commercial businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. C.S. took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue

you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Finally, upon hearing about a government plan to ban inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment, C.S. breathed his last. His Service will be at Whispering Pines Cemetery. Common Sense was preceded in death -by his parents, Truth and Trust, -by his wife, Discretion, -by his daughter, Responsibility, -and by his son, Reason. C.S. is survived by two step-brothers, Half-Wit and Dim-Wit, and his 5 stepchildren: - I Know My Rights - I Want It Now - Someone Else Is To Blame - I’m A Victim - Pay me for Doing Nothing Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to the Institute for Rational Thought. Farewell, Common Sense. May you Rest In Peace.

Footnote: Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, share this with friends. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

WE CAN DO better with BOB HOLLAND

The Power of a Movement: In these past couple of weeks we have seen society erupt in remarkable ways. As the deep wounds of racism have opened up there has been an outpouring of anger, grief, passion and unity right across the globe. As thousands of Australians gathered around cities to stand together saying #blacklivesmatter, it got me thinking about the power of a movement. The death of George Floyd at the hands of the Law for a seemingly insignificant crime is a tragedy. When anyone is wrongly accused, we should get upset at the injustice done. When someone who is innocent is killed, we should get angry. As this movement continues to grow we must ask ourselves, what is this movement seeking to achieve? A calling out of police brutality towards people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds? I hope so. A calling for an end of racism in our society and one for treating all people equal? I hope so. This one death has sparked a movement that has rocked our world. This one death has cracked open the thin veneer of our society that claims that we are good and treat each other fairly. This one death has sparked a movement. But will it bring lasting change? Ten years from now will anyone remember George Floyd’s name? I

hope so. Will the protesting movement of today be remembered in the years to come for the change it brought to society? I hope so. If Floyd’s death has shown us anything, it is that this world is broken and there is something not right and something needs to change. 2000 years ago, a truly innocent man died at the hands of the law. He was beaten within an inch of his life for a crime he did not commit. He was publicly executed in the most humiliating and horrific way possible, simply for being himself. His death sparked another movement. It started a movement that has echoed throughout the world bringing change. Bringing hope. Bringing unity. Bringing an end to division. The message of Jesus and the movement that he began cuts across all social, ethnic and racial barriers. This message is a message for all people. I do not want to minimize the tragedy or impact of George Floyd’s death for a second nor any innocent death. I do not want to downplay the significance of the #blacklivesmatter movement that is hoping to bring a once in a generation change to making this world a better place. We should be angry at the injustice. But we should also look to the even great movement, started by Jesus. A movement that lasts forever.

At the most recent Council meeting during a discussion about the Welcome to Orange signs, the cost of the proposed signs generated much talk amongst Councilors. During this discussion, Councilor Glenn Taylor shared his ongoing concern about some of the costs that various Council projects come in at. He’s not alone in wondering how they arrive at such costs. I too can’t believe what some of the Council projects are quoted at. Let me share a few with you then raise another concern that this issue brings to mind. On face value the now infamous Robertson Park Toilet block is quoted as costing $195,000 to build, some even question this, believing this figure may not reflect the total cost. Either way, to me in floorspace, it looks not much bigger than a large garden shed yet it costs $195,000 to build! You can build a small house for that. Th e kiosk and toilet to be built at the Naylor Pavilion is said to be going to cost around $700,000 -$800,000! Really? Th e cost to build recent roundabouts around Orange have ranged between several hundred thousand and several million dollars for the one happening on the Northern Distributor near the Botanic Gardens. Th ese are numbers that beg the question “Can’t they be done at lower prices than these?” Does anyone else think our Council couldn’t have done better at

getting these costs down? Councilor Taylor certainly appears to believe so. Now to the Welcome to Orange signs. Councilors were informed at the latest meeting that just to have the design done cost $13,000. $13,000 just for someone to come up with a sign design also sounds way over the top to me and my business involves graphic design etc. It also appears that Councilors didn’t even know that. They were also informed that $50,000 had been allocated for the signs in the current and next budget, a total of $100,000. Council staff when asked, also couldn’t say if the $13,000 design costs came out of the $100,000 or not. Can you see where I’m going with this? It appears that most or all of our Councilors, based on Councilor Taylor’s and others comments, did not know the design costs were $13,000, did not know that $100,000 had been allocated for the signs, did not know how much the sign or signs they were voting on were to cost, and so it goes on. What also strikes me as odd is if Councilor Taylor has doubts about any of the head scratching costs he raised, why oh why didn’t he ask some questions? Ratepayers need to be confident their money is always being spent wisely. If what I’ve said above is true and typical, we deserve much better!

n The execution by the British Army of Central Tablelands locals Lieutenant Harry “Breaker” Morant and Lieutenant Peter Handcock from Peel near Bathurst was the subject of an acclaimed 1980 Australian film on our involvement in the Boer War.

THE BOAR WAR (1899-1902)

A CONFLICT WE CHOSE TO FORGET By Orange Mayor, Cr Reg Kidd

Recent ceremony at our city’s occasionally-itinerant and largely-unknown Boer War Memorial in Robertson Park commemorated a conflict that we have mostly chosen to forget. Yet the Orange district provided a number of vitally-important Australian figures in the conflict. This included local doctor — Captain (later Major General Sir Neville Howse) — who won a Victoria Cross for conspicuous bravery under fire and later revolutionised battle-field medical procedures. Another central figure in Australia’s experience in the conflict was a maverick field commander — Lieutenant Harry “Breaker” Morant — who was subsequently executed by the British for war crimes. Central Tableland’s local and Australia’s great Bush Poet, Banjo Patterson, also served as a war correspondent during the conflict. The Boer War (also known as the Anglo-Boer War and South African War) represented a link between two ages — that of the small, localised conflicts typical of the British Empire during the Victorian era and that of the mass industrial-level carnage of the 20th century. It was also first conflict in which Australian forces were involved as a nation. Despite its relative lack of acknowledgement, it was a conflict that had an inordinate impact on a new nation. Approximately 23,000 Australian men and women served in the War out of a population of about four million with nearly 1000 men — more than our losses in Korea and Vietnam combined — paying the ultimate price for their service. Like Vietnam, it was a conflict in which our participation was also fiercely-debated with uncomfortable echoes and haunting parallels between the two on whether we were on the

Before that, most Australians fought in the war from 1899 with the British forces or as “free” soldiers. Following early Boer victories, the British utilised their overwhelming numerical strength to defeat the main Boer forces. The Boers later-adopted small, mobile units of horse-mounted irregulars in a hit-and-run guerrilla campaign.

side of right or might — the British Empire versus the hard-bitten and outnumbered Boer farmers courageously fighting for their homeland and, in Vietnam, the Vietcong and third-world North Vietnamese against the military might of the United States and its Allies.

n Captain (later Major General Sir Neville Howse) — who won a Victoria Cross during the Boer War.

In another sad aside, more than 40,000 Australian horses went overseas with only one allowed to return due to Australia’s strict quarantine laws. The Boer War was the first conflict in which Australian forces were involved as a nation with the new “Federal Government” sending Commonwealth contingents to the War after 1901.

...The Boer War was the first conflict in which Australian forces were involved as a nation with the new “Federal Government” sending Commonwealth contingents to the War after 1901...

The British, unable to pin-down these units who blended in with the local farmer population, adopted a scorched-earth strategy. This involved forcing thousands of civilian men, women, and children into giant outdoor prisons — thereby inventing the modern “concentration camp” — where inadequate shelter, poor diet, bad hygiene, and overcrowding led to malnutrition and endemic contagious diseases such as measles, typhoid and dysentery killed thousands. On May 31, 1902, the treaty of Vereeniging was signed in the State of Pretoria that ended the war. Local identity Captain Sir Neville Howse enlisted as a doctor and was awarded the highest order of medal in the British Empire, the Victoria Cross, for rescuing an injured man while under fire after having his horse shot from under him. Again, enlisting with the First AIF in World War I, he went-on to revolutionise rapidresponse battlefield medical practice during the carnage of that conflict and later served two terms as Mayor before becoming a Federal politician.

penning an ode — the poem “The Last Parade” that commemorates the courage of Australian horses in the war and their eventual sad fate. Only one horse as a symbol of the group was ever allowed to return to Australian shores.

Orange’s Boer War Memorial — originally designed as a gas-powered street-light — is now located at the northern end of Robertson Park. It was dedicated on March 29, 1905 with all-local funding and construction.

With the war starting at the end of the greatest recorded drought in Australian history and the subsequent rural depression, young men with a firearm and their own horse were eager to enlist in this great overseas adventure.

The Memorial though was originally sited at the intersection of Summer and Anson Streets but was moved In 1929 to the south-western side of Robertson Park on Summer Street because it had become a traffic impediment with fears of it being damaged by motor vehicles

It is believed that somewhere between 24–32 volunteers were from this district with four casualties, soldiers Coneybeane, Beasley, Bastick and Smith (who was the son of an Orange Mayor).

During the 1930s remodelling of the Park, it was again moved to its present site near the CWA Hall with a three-faceted modern monument to Sir Neville Howse (“Soldier”, “Doctor”, “Statesman”) located adjacent to the Boer War Memorial.

Notably, two others from our region played a central role in one of the most controversial and darkest chapters of the conflict. Lieutenant Peter Handcock from Peel near Bathurst and Lieutenant Harry “Breaker” Morant had worked on properties in our district for years.

Orange finally restarted commemorating this “forgotten war” after many years of neglect on the 31st of May, 2010. This followed a call from The Australian War Memorial in Canberra for towns to rediscover this long-forgotten conflict with Orange taking-up the challenge.

Lieutenants Morant and Handcock were found guilty of murdering nine incapacitated Boer hospital patients and were also accused of killing a Dutch clergyman who threatened to expose their atrocities. They were executed by a British firing squad from the Cameron

As Boer War veteran Winston Churchill said in a 1948 speech to the House of Commons, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.”

FAST FACTS OF

THE BOER WAR • Supreme Commander of the British Force during the Boer War, Lord (Herbert) Kitchener (whose notorious scorched-earth policy against Boer civilians led to the death of thousands) is believed to have personally ordered the execution of Australians Harry “Breaker” Morant and Peter Handcock for war crimes. He visited Bathurst some year’s later to dedicate that town’s Boer War Memorial but was allegedly “snubbed” by locals who turned their back during the ceremony. Lieutenant Handcock’s widow is — by local legend — said to have also attended the event dressed in mourning black and to have silentlyconfronted Kitchener in person. • Future British Prime Minister and their inspirational World War II leader, Winston Churchill, served in the Boer War as a journalist before being captured by the Boers before subsequently escaping. •A bridge between the more formalised wars of the 19th century and the bloodbaths of the 20th, the Boer War has been described, somewhat ironically, as the “last of the gentlemen wars”. •Many of the volunteers from Australia saw the far-off conflict as an adventure; an opportunity to travel overseas; and to escape the rural depression caused by a 10-year drought. Many rural men with no military experience but with sound bush skills in scouting, riding and shooting, enlisted and took their own horses and rifles. •The Orange Boer War Memorial commemorates the four major pitched battle of the conflict —

Ladysmith, Pretoria, Kimberley, and Mafeking. Lord Baden Powell, founder of the worldwide scouting movement, served with the British forces at Mafeking. The Orange Memorial was built by local monumental masons McMurtries at a cost of £100 and was the focus for Civic Remembrance ceremonies such as Anzac Day until the current cenotaph was built in 1951. Mystery surrounds why the War Memorial has the years 1898–1902 inscribed on it when all historians list the war’s dates as from 1899–1902. The name of one of the locals who died in the conflict was also originally listed as “Gander” but was later changed to “Beasley” for unknown reasons. •Many of the horses that went to the war were assembled in our district with local volunteers who paid their own way to get to Africa. •Emily Hoadley (formerly a Matron at Molong Hospital) served in the Boer War. It is also believed that a number of First Nation people from the local Wiradjuri tribe also went as accomplished “trackers”. •Several books have been written about our region’s involvement in the Boer War including “Orange Remembers” by Heather Nicholls and “Poor Jim has Died” by Helen Hayes. A book by the late Robert Ellis of Molong recounted the involvement of volunteers from Molong, Forbes and several other Central West towns. •Sir Neville Howse is the only medico to ever receive a Victoria Cross in battle. His citation noted that he risked his life under heavy fire in retrieving an injured soldier after his horse was shot from under him.

GROUP 10 OFF FOR THE YEAR

...WHILE THESE RESTRICTIONS ARE ACHIEVABLE FOR PROFESSIONAL SPORTING COMPETITIONS LIKE THE NRL AND AFL, THEY PROVED TOO GREAT A HURDLE FOR THE LOCAL COMP...

Time to polish up the kids footie boots, get-out the netball outfits, and pump-up the sports balls, junior sport is back locally starting Wednesday, July 1, but not if you’re playing in the senior Group 10 rugby league competition. While senior district sports have also been given the nod to restart training in July; the Group 10 executive voted at a recent teleconference to pull the pin for 2020. “The Executive decided at a meeting last night that, as all the teams will not be competing, Group 10 is out for the year,” an Orange CYMS spokesperson said. The Executive decided that the strict rules governing the sport restarting would be too onerous for the largely-volunteer clubs: “It’s all the policies and procedures that we’d have to follow for only half a season’s football,” the spokesperson explained. While these restrictions are achievable for professional sporting competitions like the NRL and AFL, they proved too great a hurdle for the local comp that typically includes sides from Orange, Bathurst, Cowra, Lithgow, Blayney, and Mudgee.

“Each club would have had to do a full riskassessment before starting training, we’d have to sign in to train each night,” the spokesperson said. Despite the restrictions, the under 18s Group 10 teams could play in a modified western region competition from July. “They’ve been approved to play in a western area competition, but we don’t exactly know how many times will be in that at this stage,” the spokesperson said. The decision to can the senior comp followed discussions between representatives of all the Group 10 clubs before the final decision of the Group 10 executive. “We’d only be playing for half a season, and we’d have to be washing down the sheds and providing sanitation stations everywhere. “In the end, they decided to pop it in the ‘too hard, too late’ basket,” the spokesperson said. The State Government had earlier announced that winter of our sporting discontent would finally end with all local, junior, district, and senior district sport due to resume from mid-July. Competition proper for junior sport is set down to start on July 18, presuming that junior clubs and competitions can be organised in time.

THE

Barracker THE JURY IS IN, SPORT MATTERS Legendary American “Gonzo” journalist and keen sports fan, Hunter S Thompson in covering one of the early Superbowls in American football; opined that all the agonising over the sport was irrelevant. “If the Red Chinese invaded tomorrow and banned football, everyone — apart from a few journalists and old men — would have forgotten about it in three months,” he wrote. Well most Australians have had that long without their favourite sports, and if anything, we’ve come to value the importance of sport the more we have been denied it. Those who love sport often talk about its significance in terms of “historic” and in “military” terms. But both those analogies are wrong. Sport is irrelevant to the larger world, no discoveries are made on a sports field, no lives improved through innovations or new ways of seeing our world. And apart from the physical courage and character required of many of its competitors, sport despite its banners and uniforms and colours, is not analogous to war, unless one thinks of the chivalrous battles between knights in the middle ages. The aim of war is to defeat your enemy by whatever fair means using as much natural advantages that you possess. One country does not reduce the size of its combat forces, destroyers, or aircraft, to ensure a “fair” fight with a lesser country. Sport, on the other hand, is designed to utilise, as much as possible, comparable equipment, rules, team members, and support for each combatant to ensure that the best man (or woman) wins. The importance of sport is that, in its purest form, it is totally irrelevant to power, war, economies, and history. It is divorced from politics, opinions, culture, and art. It is the expression of human attainment in a physical and temperamental cauldron where our true characters can be found. The Duke of Wellington is supposed to have said after Waterloo, that the battle had been won on the sporting fields of Eton and Harrow. This quote is likely untrue, the concept of sport as training for war was completely foreign to people of the 19th century. Sport is our escape from the tragedies, cruelties, indifferences, and harsh realities of our lives. That is why so many of our happiest memories are in watching our children play in a team for the first time, or of seeing NSW finally slay the arrogant Queenslanders in a State of Origin series! It is not because sport is important to the outside world of events and history and economics that we love it, it is because it is utterly irrelevant to that world. Something that our so-called sports administrators should consider before they next insert fashionable political and social causes into our sporting enjoyment. But people that make a living out of a field, rarely understand those who engage in it for its own virtues.

FIRST THINGS FIRST? GORDON SOUTHWELL writes: I question Orange City Council on their plans to make a new CBD. They need to look after things we have. The Showground, put it back to the way it was, the ring, grandstand and horse stables, the creek needs piping. Open up Margaret Street rail crossing with parking lights and boom gates, also Peisley Street and Franklin Road intersection. There are traffic lights there, also turning traffic lights going into Summer Street from Lords Place, Anson Street and Sale Street like Peisley Street and leave Summer Summer Street two lanes not one also move the traffic lights on Bathurst Road outside the school down to Allenby Road outside the medical centre where a person was killed. The school can still use them there, also put traffic lights on the footpath crossing on Anson Street outside Woolworths. Also Orange needs male and female toilets on the edge of the city for visitors and tourists coming and going in and out of Orange, one in Memory Park on Bathurst Road to catch the tourist and travellers coming in from Bathurst, Lithgow, Blue Mountains and Sydney, and one in Greengate Park for people coming from Molong, Wellington, Mudgee, Dubbo, Forbes, Parkes and QLD. Orange has lost so much, fix up the pushbike BMX track park. Also bring back the rest centre and Banjo Paterson Street March

Festival, the Christmas Street Festival and Banjo Paterson Country Music. To bring people to Orange we need a large tourist fun park at Lake Canobolas also caravan cabins and camping, also an animal and bird park and carry chairs up and down Pinnacle. The new toilet block will be no good for a large crowd in Robertson park, one toilet and no room for men to stand.

JOHN KICH commented on Facebook:

sections of the road nearing the top have pot holes. I know it’s not Orange City Council’s responsibility, however Orange benefits from visitors, so Orange City Council, Cabonne Shire Council and Orange360 should join forces and improve our natural major attraction! EDITOR: Wouldn’t you think the relevant Councils would have been able to work together and solve this long standing Mountain dilemma before this? It can’t be that hard. Oh, hang on, they may need to build a toilet there too, that could explain the hold up.

Just read an article in the latest issue of Orange City Life’s NEWSWATCH, this being a question & answer piece between the Editor, Bob Holland and Amanda Spalding. It is a good read with a number of great points on how Orange can be improved. One point that was raised is that Orange does not have one major tourism attraction, as does Bathurst and Dubbo. But we do and we continually avoid mentioning or doing anything positive about it! Mount Canobolas is a natural major attraction which is neglected. Most visitors would love to get to the top and enjoy the views, but the conditions underfoot are deplorable, especially for the elderly. Rough, gagged rocks are a danger to pedestrians, cars, push bikes and motorbikes. The once clear views into Orange at both lookouts are interrupted by trees. The once roof covered information boards are fading,
