Max reflects on his flying days and pioneering ways — DAVID DIXON — As you get older, you start to reflect on your experiences and what you have achieved.

Recently celebrating his 95th birthday at the Orange Aero Club, legendary local aviator, Max Hazelton, remembered his life and times in the air, including his near-miraculous survival from a crash in the Blue Mountains in the 1950s.

Aviation company owner and pilot, Wade Mahlo, is part of a long-term search team to try and find Max’s lost plane, which has never been recovered.

“There’s Dick Smith and a bunch of us, we’re still looking for it in the mountains, but it’s been so long

now, we may never find it,” he said.

“It may be, that there’s now nothing left of it to find,” Wade added resignedly.

During the recent celebration of the pioneer aviator’s life, he snapped a pic of Max taking a quiet look over the mural at Orange Airport commemorating this pioneer of the air and his near-death experience, recreated here for Orange City Life.

“I came out and found Max just sitting there, looking

up at the mural, as if contemplating his life,” Wade said of the photo.

Instigator of the mural project, he said he had been inspired by a similar fresco at Albury airport and so pitched the idea to Orange City Council, who funded it to the tune of $6000 in 2020.

“I thought, ‘if they can do it at Albury, they can do it here!’,” Wade said.

Looking over the summary of his life, Max said that the best part of flying was “The Saab” referring to a twin-engine turboprop model that was part of his Hazelton Airlines (now Rex Airlines) fleet based at the then Cudal Airport.

“It was a magnificent aircraft… I always wanted to fly from a very young age.”

Max recalled his bad luck — or good luck, depending on how you think of it — in just missing out on getting his pilot’s licence during World War II when Australia had air training schools around the country and our own fighter manufacturing industry.

“When I was 16, I joined the Air Force Cadets and, just as I turned 18, the War

ended. I came to town and they said, ‘all Air Force training has ceased,’ so I went and got a job in an office,” he remembered.

His fate, he pondered philosophically, could have matched that of his older brother Bruce, who spent five years in the air force during the War, but eventually had very little flying in combat.

Max established Hazelton Airlines in 1953 with his brother Jim with a single Auster Aiglet aircraft that he crashed in 1954 while flying to Bankstown for a new engine.

Despite an extensive search with dozens of RAAF and private craft, his plane was not spotted and he was thought lost, until he walked into a timber cutter’s camp in the Burragorang Valley, after having apparently been thrown free of the crashed plane.

“I remember waking up after the crash and looking at the aircraft and thinking, ‘what’s that plane doing there?’,” Max said.

Collective painters-inresidence, now seeking discerning buyers!

ARTISTS-I NRESIDENC E:

Local pain ters at the Canow indra Art Galler y, Fran Whe eler and Wayne Mil es.

— DAVID DIXON —

Want a great local painting? Then why not look to some of the smaller galleries in our rural towns and villages?

Browsers have started returning to Canowindra’s main street painters’ collective, it’s just that they’re not buying!

With the historic town now enjoying a postCOVID mini-boom, local creator, Wayne Miles, hopes that visiting art lovers will soon join them.

The “Canowindra Art Gallery” pays nominal rent for a main street shopfront at 70 Gaskill Street, thereby allowing dozens of “Regional Rembrandts” with a visual flair, the chance to explore their latent talents.

“We’re a not-for-profit organisation with the building supplied by Cabonne Council, we’ve been here since 2018, the group’s mostly for people who have retired themselves,” Wayne explained.

“We’re a painters’ collective, you pay a membership fee to paint and another to exhibit

with two painter’s groups, one on Wednesdays and the other Fridays,” he said, at the week-ending event where half a dozen locals slap brushes on canvas with quiet enthusiasm.

“We’re also open Saturday and Sunday to exhibit with the gallery staffed by volunteers… we’re always looking for volunteers!” Wayne added.

But it is in the current dearth of buyers for local works, that the lockdowns have had the greatest impact on, he said.

“The pandemic affected us dramatically as far as sales went, people changed their habits,” Wayne lamented.

“2019 was our glory days… we sold a painting a week, now we’ve only sold about 25 since the lockdowns ended.”

Member Fran Wheeler, working away at a

picturesque acrylic piece, recalls the pre-pandemic days when members would travel from throughout the region.

“We had members from Orange, Blayney, we even had a member from Carlingford (Sydney),” she said.

“The pandemic stopped your momentum, but it’s good to get involved again,” she added.

Mary Ford is one of those people who loved painting when young, and has rediscovered her first passion later in life.

“I’m a lifetime local, as a child I used to put things in the show, but then I became a teacher,” she said.

“It’s simply something that I enjoy,” she added, as she works away at a graphite sketch.

“To get back into it, is a wonderful experience,” she concluded.

HISTORYTALKING

with HELEN MCNULTY

WORK AND LEISURE TIME “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”

I

JAMES HOWELL’S PROVERBS 1659

n 1855 a man with the unlikely name of “Smiles” wrote a popular but fairly humourless book called “Self Help”, in which he improved upon the old English proverb by stating sternly that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but all play and no work makes him something greatly worse.”

concentrated upon the family.

Since 1855 the manner in which we work and play has changed enormously.

Pat remembered hare drives as both entertainment and a way of raising money for the church.

In fact, the way in which today’s children work and spend their leisure time is significantly different from any other generation that came before them.

In the majority of families, until the 1960s, father went out to work and mother stayed at home. This generally meant that if the breadwinner was offered work in a different town the whole family went with him.

Rightly or wrongly, there was obviously no argument about whose job was more important.

Consequently, teachers, doctors, railway workers and bank clerks accepted positions in rural areas that are proving so hard to fill in today’s world.

Others, of course, in other occupations were more inclined to remain committed to the same job for life, only stopping upon retirement.

The Oral History group looked back at those times.

They agreed that life seemed to be much less complicated, with any free time usually

Family picnics and fishing in the nearby dam or river were popular activities.

“We went with Mum and Dad in a sulky and pitched a tent in a neighbour’s paddock, and we really thought that was great,” Harry told us.

“The whole community took part”, she said.

“We would form a long line at one end of the paddock which was full of hares and slowly walk along rounding them up in one corner which was fenced off. We would have a wonderful day. The hares would be either skinned or sent to dog trainers to be used in races.”

There’s no doubt that practice would be frowned on today!

Tennis was also a very popular sport for the whole family. You didn’t have to be a champion.

In big and small towns, tennis courts proliferated and people would often drive long distances at the weekend to take part in a tournament.

group. There were lots of ways to enjoy yourself and exercise at the same time.”

“My father worked as a farmer from daylight to dusk, but he still found time to play football,” said Jean. ”Roller skating was all the rage in Orange from the early 1900s until the 1920s,” Dick added.

“There was one rink in Peisley St and one in Lords Place. The floors were amazing with a lower one and a foot above it another, with sawdust and ashes in between. The upper floor was made of tallow and constructed so that the direction of the skating followed the grain of the wood.”

Because there was no TV to watch after dinner, it was a good time to play cards or board games like Monopoly, Ludo and Snakes and Ladders.

Sunday was generally regarded as a day of rest.

There were no newspapers, no shops or cinemas open and often, in Grandma’s day, people were not supposed to knit, sew or even cook.

Children, teenagers and adults could enjoy a day together, often followed by a delicious afternoon tea provided by local cooks.

It was also a day to entertain friends and family, possibly with a delicious roast dinner, which makes one wonder how much rest mother really had with so many mouths to feed!

“Families did things together in my childhood as a social group. It was very important”, added another member of our

Singing around the piano and community singing were great ways to spend a free evening. And if you could play by ear, you

were very popular, even though you had to stay at the piano all night and missed out on a lot of the fun.

Still, it wasn’t always necessary to have a musician at the piano when you had a pianola or automatic piano player. A roll of paper, in which holes had been punched to guide the notes, was inserted into the instrument and magically, by pedalling, out came wonderful piano music!

“Any kid could do it,” said Frank, “and the music would go faster and faster forcing everyone dancing to keep up with it.”

Another great way to exercise and socialise at the same time was, of course, dancing. Good old fashioned dancing, where the girls sat along the wall at one side of the hall and the boys gathered around the door.

When the music started the boys would slowly approach the girls who had to look as though they didn’t care if nobody asked them!

Balls were held almost every weekend in some places.

“When I worked in Trangie there was a ball every Saturday night somewhere and we travelled miles to get there,” said John.

Who could forget dancing until dawn to the White Rose orchestra , having a big supper and driving all the way home just as the sun came up?

Oh, they were the days!
