SYNERGY DANCE TROUPE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

FROM THE FOR REAL TEAM Life is a journey, they say. There will be bumps and dips in the road you travel. Sometimes moving forward, sometimes feeling at a standstill and sometimes feeling like you are going around in circles.

And here we are. Exactly two years after launching our first community magazine, we are back doing it all again.

And this time it is FOR REAL. Our initial publication arose from the idea of a magazine that could focus on building a positive sense of community. A publication that could celebrate Broken Hillits strong past, its current vibe and its exciting future.

We discovered a passion for finding out more about local people. There are so many colorful characters in Broken Hill with life stories just waiting to be told. We also discovered an interest in community based activities and events, businesses and sporting organizations.

We wanted to put everything in one place. Create a resource for information, reminiscing, and celebrating this fine City and the people that make it what it is. We are hoping that FOR REAL MAGAZINE can be all of those things, and more.

August is going to be a busy month in the Hill. Check out the Events Calendar and you will see what we are talking about. The local Eisteddfod is on, Cabaret and All that Jazz, Chasing Jon Talent Quest, the Outback Rugby

FOR REAL

League Grand Final and the Speedboat Club Debutante Ball to name a few.

We also have feature stories an departing General Manager Greg Wright, local artist Wendy Moore, local business owner Prue Sulicich and film production coordinator Lyndall Roberts.

And so much more. We celebrate our kids, our seniors, our volunteers...everyone contributes to our community in some way and makes Broken Hill the special place it is.

We are always happy to hear from people with ideas for stories or events that are happening in our community. If you know of anything happening in September, or know of a person or community group that needs their story told, please contact hello@brandcreative.com.au or phone 08 8427 1301.

And don’t forget to like our facebook page-FOR REAL MAGAZINE- to keep up to date with local information, stories and competitions.

Look forward to seeing you all at some of the August events...have a great month and keep an eye out for September Issue coming soon!

MELANIE VIEROW PICTURED HERE IN 2008 WITH BABY EVA

A LOCAL PERSPECTIVE ON BREASTFEEDING Young mothers are told time and time again about the importance of breastfeeding your baby. Breast milk is the natural food choice for babies- it is perfectly designed by nature for human infants. Breastfeeding helps to create a special bond between mother and child, as well as providing many nutritional and lifestyle benefits for both the child and the family.

Despite the obvious benefits of breastfeeding, mums often face controversy about their choice- especially regarding the matter of breastfeeding in public. The ABA (Australian Breastfeeding Association) recognizes this issue and aims to educate and advocate for a breastfeeding inclusive society in Australia. They have a vision to have breastfeeding regarded as important and culturally normal in our society.

World Breastfeeding Week is a campaign that aims to highlight this need for education. This year WBW will be held between August 1st and 7th. The theme is “Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers�, which will highlight the importance of Breastfeeding Peer Counseling.

It has been shown that even when mothers are able to get off to a good start, all too often in the weeks or months after delivery there is a sharp decline in breastfeeding rates and practices. The period when 8

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

mothers do not visit a healthcare facility is the time when a community support system for mothers is essential.

Continued support to sustain breastfeeding can be provided in a variety of ways. Traditionally, support is provided by the family. As societies change, however, in particular with urbanization, support for mothers from a wider circle is needed, whether it is provided by trained health workers, lactation consultants, community leaders, or from friends and partners.

We recently caught up with Melanie Vierow...a local resident and mother of three (including a very recent addition) to chat about her real life experiences as a breastfeeding mum.

Did you make the choice to Breastfeed all of your children? For how long?

Yes. Isla and Eva both breastfed for 3 years. Hudson is a newborn and is currently breastfeeding.

Why did you choose to breastfeed?

I breastfed a lot longer than planned, due to allergies in both of my girls. I initially chose to breastfeed for the following reasons: When you breastfeed, hormones are produced in your body that help you relax and bond with your baby.

Breastmilk contains immunities that are passed onto your child.

Breastmilk composition changes from week to week, from day to day, from hour to hour, and during a feeding. It is always the perfect food for your child...and it’s free!!!

Did you have a good support network to encourage you to keep breastfeeding? Did your spouse, family and friends support your decision?

I had lots of support from my husband, my mum (who breastfed 4 children for 2 years each), and my sister ( who breastfed for 2 years each of her three kids). Also, community midwives helped me get through the toughest period of breast feeding, which I think is the first 4 weeks. its all patience and perseverance. It becomes a lot easier after those tedious weeks of frantic feeding and sore breasts.

Do you think it is important to have this support?

Professional support in hospital is most important for getting off to a good start. Even third time around I found myself needing reassurance.

And I come from a family of breast feeders so their knowledge has been priceless. Emotional support means a lot too- just having someone around to say that you’re doing a great job is sometimes all you need to hear.

How will you manage breastfeeding when you return to work?

I will be trying my hardest to get into an expressing routine, combining breast feeding and breast milk bottle feeds.

What are your views on Breastfeeding in Public?

I think its your baby’s right to feed wherever and whenever they need to. But I do think we need to consider others and be discreet and modest whilst breastfeeding in public.

Objectives of World Breastfeeding Week 2013: 1. To draw attention to the importance of Peer Support in helping mothers to establish and sustain breastfeeding.

2. To inform people of the highly effective benefits of Peer Counseling, and unite efforts to expand peer counseling programmes.

3. To encourage breastfeeding supporters, regardless of their educational background, to step forward and be trained to support mothers and babies.

4. To identify local community support contacts for breastfeeding mothers, that women can go to for help and support after giving birth.

5. To call on governments and maternity facilities globally to actively implement the Ten Steps needed to improve duration and rates of exclusive breastfeeding.

JEANS FOR GENES Local dancers joining the fight to raise funds for research into genetic diseases.

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

SYNERGY DANCE TROUPE: MAKING A DIFFERENCE Jeans for Genes Day is a national day where people are encouraged to wear their jeans to raise much-needed funds for research into birth defects and diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, and a range of genetic disorders.

Synergy member Shannon Graham (14) will also be helping out. “If everyone gives just a little then we can help people and kids who can’t do things we are lucky enough to be able to do, like dance”.

On Friday 2nd August workplaces, schools and streets will become a sea of denim in a united stance against childhood disease. Locally, there will be many schools and organizations helping out in the fight to find cures.

Children’s Medical Research Institute has been a pioneer in the field of pediatric medical research since its inception in 1958. Its many achievements include increasing survival rates of premature babies, establishing Australia’s first research unit for newborns, developing life saving microsurgery techniques, and introducing vaccines that protect against a number of potentially fatal or disabling childhood diseases. CMRI’s vital work does not receive guaranteed government funding and relies on community support.

Once such group will be Synergy Dance Troupe. The girls will be ditching their tights and switching to jeans in the week leading up the Jeans for Genes Day, in an effort to raise funds to donate. They will be collecting money from students at Silver City Dance and donating it to the cause.

They urge others to become involved as well.

16 year old Isabella DeFranceschi is a member of Synergy Dance Troupe, and will be helping collect money for Jeans for Genes Day. “Some people don’t ever get a chance to do things like dance because their bodies just don’t allow them. We thought it would be important to help give them a chance”.

One in twenty children is born with a congenital abnormality or genetic disease. CMRI is dedicated to changing this. Every dollar raised on Jeans for Genes Day will help scientists at CMRI discover treatments and cures, with the aim of giving every child the chance to live a long and healthy life.

HEALTHY BONES WEEK People are being urged to meet their daily calcium intake as part of National Healthy Bones Week in August.

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

EMBRACE THE CHEESE TOASTIE Established in Australia in 1994, National Healthy Bones Week raises awareness of the important role calciumrich foods have in the development and maintenance of healthy bones. The campaign aims to educate Australians about the importance of developing and maintaining strong bones and encourages active steps towards a healthier bone mass.

National Healthy Bones Week is organized by Dairy Australia. “It is an opportunity to emphasize the importance of looking after our bones, no matter what age we are”, said Tracy Herlihy, who is a local dietitian at the Broken Hill Health Service.

Ms Herlihy said that Osteoporosis (weakening of the bones) affects around 1.2 million Australians and is a big health issue.

“There are three main things everyone can do to keep their bones strong: Eat at least three serves of calciumrich foods (such as milk, yoghurt or cheese) every day. Do regular weight bearing exercise like walking, running or resistance training. And get enough sun to keep Vitamin D levels adequate.”

Although these things are simple to talk about and easy to implement, some people struggle to incorporate them into their daily lives.

Top cereal with milk and yoghurt Sprinkle low fat cheese on your pasta dish Have a hot chocolate before you go to bed Have a refreshing smoothie with fruit, yoghurt and milk Embrace the famous low fat cheese toastie!

Head to www.healthybones.com.au or more information about Healthy Bones Week, including age specific requirements and delicious cheese toastie recipes!

The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Toastie Ingredients • • • • • • • •

1/2 cup grated vintage cheddar cheese 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional) freshly ground black pepper, to taste pinch mild paprika 2 slices crusty white bread butter, for spreading

Method

“More than eight out of ten Australians are not meeting their minimum recommended intake of milk, cheese or yoghurt. Sometimes people avoid it because they think it is ‘fattening’. It is fine to have 3 serves of dairy in a day.”

1. Mix all ingredients except the bread and butter together in a small bowl.

2. Sandwich the mixture between the bread, butter the top and bottom and toast until golden brown and melting.

“But if you are watching your weight or trying to control cholesterol just choose the low fat varieties, where you will get equivalent amounts of calcium, minus the fat.”

Tips / Handy Hints

Getting adequate amounts of calcium each day is easier than it sounds. There are several simple ways you can add serves of dairy into your daily eating ritual. Some easy ways to incorporate dairy could be:

Broken Hill has a proud history of debutante balls. Many local residents are former debutantes or squires and so it is easy to relate to these youngsters and the enthusiasm and excitement they are feeling in the lead up to the ball.

LIBRARY LEGO CLUB LEGO lovers in Broken Hill will be excited to see the opening of a local LEGO Club this month.

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

LOCAL LEGO ENTHUSIATS, JACKSON COWDREY, WILL BE HEADING TO THE LEGO CLUB LAUNCH ON THE 14TH

LIBRARY LAUNCHES LEGO CLUB The Danish company LEGO certainly hit the jackpot with their invention of the interlocking Lego Brick in the 1940‘s. Decades after its initial invention children the world over are still excited by Lego. It has branched into theme sets (including Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Wild West, Super Heros and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as well as video games, movies, clothing ranges and play sets specifically aimed at a female market.

Broken Hill has not escaped the Lego market. Many of our local kids (including the grown up kids at heart) enjoy countless hours of building and playing with Lego products. So the month of August will be an exciting one for Lego enthusiasts in the Hill.

The Broken Hill City Library is always a flurry of activity. As well as traditional library services there are focus interest groups conducted at the library, and August will see the launch of a new group- the Lego Club.

The Lego Club is being launched on Wednesday 14th August, at the library. Sessions will change days, alternating between Wednesdays and Thursdays, to fit in with varying time schedules. It is being held once a month at this stage (depending on its popularity), and will run from 3:30-5:30 pm.

The program has been designed for children between 7 – 15 years of age, although younger children are welcome with a parent to supervise and older children are welcome if they have an interest in Lego. There is no

cost associated with the program.

Children who attend the activity will be given the opportunity to build Lego creations according to a monthly theme, for example castles, houses, transportation etc. At the end of each session there will be a ‘show and tell’ where the children can show off their masterpieces to the rest of the group. There will also be board games available for the children to play.

Library Staff are currently seeking donations of Lego, Board Games etc they could use as part of the program.

Library Assistant, Fallon Lawn, says “We would be very grateful for any donations that any person/s or businesses may be able to provide us with to help make this a successful program for the children”.

August will also see the start of the ‘Get Caught Reading’ campaign at the Library, to encourage a love of reading.

Members of the public are being encouraged to email in a photo of themselves (or someone they know) reading, with some information about the people in the photo and what they are reading. And to celebrate Children’s Book Week Library Staff will be hosting a ‘Twilight Tales’ Activity on the 22nd August at 6pm, where children are invited to wear their pajamas to the library to hear a goodnight story.

To keep up to date with the events at the Library you can like the Broken Hill City Library page on facebook or phone on 8080 3460.

FILM MAKER HELPING LOCALS CHASE THEIR DREAMS August will be an exciting month for talented locals hoping to win tickets to the upcoming Bon Jovi concert and a chance to be involved with a film being shot in and around Broken Hill.

Writer of the film “Chasing Jon”, Belinda Adams, will be back in Broken Hill this month to shoot a music video for the song “Menindee Sky” and to host the finals of the talent quest associated with the film.

receive the help they so desperately need when they need it is beyond frustrating.”

“It seems that if you want things to change you have to raise awareness and I suddenly realized that with acquired brain injury being an invisible disability, it is a subject not often discussed within the community. The more I found the courage to speak out about it, the more people I have found who also have been touched by this in some way in their own life.”

It is not too late to be a part of the action. To enter the talent quest, you need to submit the link to your 60 second YouTube clip to bhtalent@blushpunkproductions. com before August 9th. Finalists will be chosen from these audition clips and will be notified on August 12th.

They will perform at the Palace on the 16th, along with Brendan Talay, who co-wrote the song for the music video with Belinda. The winner will be announced at this event.

Belinda will be participating in the BANG ON A BEANIE campaign as part of Brain Injury Awareness Week. The campaign encourages people to buy and proudly wear a blue beanie in support of Brain Injury Awareness Week (12-18 August). She will be bringing a big blue bus to town, decked out to help promote the cause, and will be selling blue beanies in an attempt to raise funds to donate.

Belinda’s visit to Broken Hill will coincide with National Brain Injury Awareness Week- a campaign that is very close to Belinda’s heart. In March, 2012, Belinda found herself living every parents worst nightmare when her son sustained life-threatening injuries in a car accident, including severe head injuries which resulted in traumatic brain injury.

All profits from BANG ON A BEANIE will go toward improving essential and much needed services for this invisible disability...including accommodation, support and resources. The campaign has already been a success with many followers posting photos of themselves wearing the beanies on the BlushPunk Productions Facebook page.

What followed for Belinda was an agonizing few months.

Belinda quickly realized that there were a high number of Brain Injury patients needing rehabilitation, and a low number of beds. She recognized that there was a need for public awareness so joined forces with Synapse (a not for profit charity helping people living with and affected by acquired brain injury) to help raise much needed funds and awareness.

And if Beanies are just not your thing you can still contribute to this campaign. BlushPunk productions have an Everyday Hero Page set up online where you can donate directly to the cause. They have a goal of raising $5000, and you can contribute as much or as little as you want.

“The first 6 months after a brain injury is the most optimal time for recovery and to know that your child may not

DAFFODIL DAY: HOW YOU CAN HELP Daffodil Day is one of Australia’s best known and most well supported fundraising events. Daffodil Day raises funds for Cancer Council to continue its work in cancer research, providing patient support programs and prevention programs to all Australians.

To Cancer Council, the daffodil represents hope for a cancer-free future. Cancer patients and their families deal with the trials and emotional strain the disease creates on a daily basis. They fully understand the need for a cancerfree future.

This year, thousands of Australians will help raise vital funds in the fight against cancer by ordering Daffodil Day merchandise to sell, volunteering to help out on the day and donating. There are many locals registered as volunteers, and many shops and businesses already displaying merchandise for sale.

The Cancer Council undertakes a range of activities to try and enable them to reach their vision. They are involved in research, patient support, information distribution, prevention, treatment, education and advocacy.

More than 100 Australians die of cancer everyday.

EVERYDAY. The Cancer Council brings together Australia’s leading state and territory cancer organisations to work towards a united vision- a vision where the threat of cancer is minimised for all Australians through successful prevention and the use of the best treatments and support programs possible.

The money raised from Daffodil Day makes a real difference to the lives of thousands of people. Your donations will give hope to people affected by cancer both now and in the future.

Get Involved in Daffodil Day on Friday 23rd August- head to the website www.daffodilday.com.au to discover how you can become a volunteer, or to donate.

As in previous years, events will include Speech and Drama, Verse Speaking, Vocal, Choral, Instrumental, Pianoforte and Dance sections.

Publicity Officer for the Eisteddfod, Merrilyn Podnar, encourages everyone to come and see some of the talent on show. “It is important for the community to support the Eisteddfod because it is one of the few places that the competitors can perform before a live audience. Its a good place for people to see both local and interstate talent in town”.

in past years have been the pop Stars Final, the School Verse Speaking Choirs and the Dance Events.

Dance Section co-ordinator, Kristil Cowdrey, expressed her excitement for this years events. “There are some local dance students who are really hitting the mark with their performances lately. We also have some very talented visitors coming from Interstate for the Eisteddfod, so it should be really exciting to watch”.

As well as many talented local and interstate soloists, this year will also see performances by a piano trio and the Mildura Orchestra (who won their event in this years Mildura Eisteddfod).

The Eisteddfod is run by volunteers. As with any organisation, more help is always needed. If you are able to volunteer some time to help out at the eisteddfod please contact Pauline Rauert at rauert@tadaust.org.au or on (08) 80876779.

Programs (which contain event days and times) are now available at South News Agency and Broken Hill Music. It will be a great week of entertainment- don’t miss out on seeing some of the wonderful talent in Broken Hill.

THE ART OF WENDY MOORE From Nepal to Broken Hill...Wendy explains her passion for working and creating with Polymer.

24

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

USING HER PASSION TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE About 20 Years ago artist Wendy Moore discovered a medium that she immediatley fell in love with. The result has been a wonderful journey of creating, teaching, travelling and helping to make a real difference in peoples lives. Currently living in Broken Hill, FR caught up with Wendy to find out about her love for art, and her current exhibition.

How did you become involved with Art? What lead you to work with your current medium?

I have drawn or painted or expressed myself through art since I was little. I spent many years silk painting and did a fabric printing course at TAFE, but found it too hard to combine with part time work and a young family.

About 20 years ago I discovered Polymer, in the form of Fimo, and almost immediately fell in love with it. There was very little written about it, so it was lots of enjoyable trial and error, then slowly finding out about books written by US artists who were exploring this very new material. For many years a friend and I met once or twice a fortnight on our days off to clay together. As ‘Luscious Ladies’ we taught and developed our skills.

Polymer suited me as you didn’t need lots of tools. Your hands and brain are your most important tools and lots of things lying around your house can be hi-jacked. The Polymer is cured in a normal oven, it doesn’t dry out (if you cover it and keep it air-tight) and canes can be stored for years. When my family was young, it was good to have something portable and not too dominating. Now I can more fully yield to that domination.

What is the current exhibition all about? Where did the idea come from?

I taught some classes at the Art Gallery shortly after arriving in Broken Hill and soon after I began thinking about an exhibition. I want to share the potential of Polymer as a means of creative expression and to encourage people to have a play with it and explore its versatility.

I firmly believe we all possess creative energy and Polymer is a wonderfully liberating and exciting material for people to discover that and tap into it for themselves.

People who say they are not creative learn some basic skills and then play and walk out wearing something gorgeous that they have made and feel really good about.

People become really excited by the potential of Polymer.

Preparing this exhibition was part of my own creative development- challenging myself, pushing myself outside my comfort zone and setting a big goal to work towards.

I know that the growth and development, the magic, usually happens when you push yourself a bit outside your comfort zone.

I think the Broken Hill Art Gallery is a wonderful place.

I love the way it is part of the community and am very happy to be part of that community!

What other kinds of projects are you involved with?

Apart from teaching (which I hope to get back into next year) a lot of my time is spent with a project called Samunnat Nepal. It is a small, grass roots project based in eastern Nepal and exists for women who are victims of violence or in vulnerable situations. My role has been in teaching polymer techniques to a group of 8 women who now earn their income from selling their work. I lived in Nepal for nearly three years before moving here and did it almost full time then. Now I spend three to four months a year over there and when I am here I am involved with marketing, fund raising and general ongoing problem solving, organization etc.

The women are now creating their own designs and we work in a very collaborative and joyous way. We are looking at starting to train some new women in more basic skills so they can begin their polymer apprenticeship. For me and for these women, working together and creating has made a profound difference to our lives.

For two weeks a year (back in Nepal), I take a group of women on a tour called “The Colourful Journey”. The two week exploration of the road less travelled includes three days spent with the women in Samunnat. People often say this is the highlight of the trip for them. Several of our tour alumni hail from Broken Hill and White Cliffs...there are two locals on the trip coming up.

So, what brought you to Broken Hill?

Our older daughter did a medical elective in Broken Hill in 2010 and loved it. She emailed us when we were living in Nepal saying that if we ever felt like coming home, Broken Hill could be an interesting place. And it is. We decided it would be good to be a bit closer to family after a few years overseas, and moved here in early 2011.

While Broken Hill has not been that close to family, we are enjoying it.

The WENDY MOORE- COLLECTED WORKS Exhibition will run from August 12-September 29 at the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery. Phone (08) 80803440 for more information.

GREG WRIGHT After filling the position of General Manager for the past four months, Greg Wright is preparing to embark on the next chapter of his life.

26

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

EXPERIENCING THE LOCAL COUNCIL Life has a habit of providing opportunities and taking us on journeys to places we never thought we would go.

When the opportunity arose, Sydney-sider Greg Wright jumped at the chance to experience some time living in the Outback. Greg has filled the position of General Manager at Broken Hill City Council for the past four months, and is preparing to embark on the next chapter of his life. FR caught up with Greg before he left to chat about his experiences in the Hill.

Can you describe your time spent living in Broken Hill?

As I get ready to head home for the final time, it has been 18 weeks since I arrived in Broken Hill. It has been a marvelous experience for me as it is my first taste of working in a regional or isolated community and that brings with it a whole range of new experiences, despite the fact that I have been working in Councils for 35 years.

be quite critical of it. In the end, however, Councils are just reflections of their communities - in my experience. I think that the Council organisation itself and the broader community both need to come to a better understanding of the relationship.

What I have tried to do in my time here, is not just to ‘keep the wheels turning’ but to build the commitment to change that is necessary and to, hopefully, build the capacity in the people of the organisation to embrace change. I see a willingness in the elected people and the staff to embrace change, but it must be encouraged and supported with courage and conviction.

I have certainly been made to feel very welcome during my four months here and it is heartening to come to a place and feel accepted so readily.

Having finished up as General Manager of Camden Council on Sydney’s urban fringe just before Christmas last year, I was approached about my interest in a couple of short term ‘locum’ positions and one of them was at Broken Hill. It was so different from the type of Council I had become used to and it certainly held a broad range of challenges so I accepted. Broken Hill City Council needed to recruit a new GM but the councillors also wanted to take their time and really consider the type of person that they needed, so a ‘locum’ was a good option in the meantime.

In your personal opinion, where do you see the future of Broken Hill and what suggestions would you propose for the community?

Despite the Broken Hill community suffering from some of the common issues being seen in rural and regional communities across the country, I see plenty of upside for the City. Broken Hill needs to continue positioning itself as the “hub of the West” in the eyes of governments and other agencies and as the entry to the accessible Outback for the visitor industry. That required strong leadership and a focus on what is really important.

As a Sydney-sider who needs to allow up to two hours to travel 80 kilometers from home into the City for a meeting, to have a 90 second commute, here in Broken Hil, is a dream. Even from one end of town to the other is only ten minutes, you’ve got to love that!

It is clear that the community and the Council have been reluctant in the past to scale back some of the services and facilities that were built in the good times. That is entirely understandable, no one wants to reduce services.

However the reality is such that it is absolutely necessary if the Council - and the community - is going to be sustainable into the future. It is necessary if the Council is simply going to be a sustainable service provider; it is even more important if it is going to lead the community into a new future.

What has been involved in your role as General Manager?

The General Manager of any Council is really the operating chief of a relatively large and diverse organisation. Of course, in local government there is also the added dimension of political awareness that is required. I have always been of the view that a Council has two main functions. Firstly, to maintain and improve the quality of life of its residents - that’s a given. However, in isolated places like Broken Hill it is equally important for a Council to exercise some leadership of its community, to inspire trust and confidence in the citizens.

What I have found to be interesting here in Broken Hill is the love/hate relationship that many residents seem to have with the Council. The City Council is the only really accessible form of government in Broken Hill and there is a lot of focus on it from the community and the media. In more metropolitan locations the Council just works away quietly in the background, but here it is very visible and very exposed.

People rely on the Council for a good many services and facilities, but some elements of the community can

What are your future plans?

Although I can’t be too specific at present, I have been approached to assist a couple of Councils, closer to home, investigate the opportunities of a merger or some other form of collaborative effort. That has come out of the review of the NSW local government industry and is an exciting opportunity to participate in the re-design of local governance and even local democracy.

Beyond that I will return to the contracting and consulting business that I established late last year.

Having said that, I have become very fond of Broken Hill and would love to come back at some point if I can be of service.

It doesn’t take long for the people and the place to grow on you.

HAPPY DAY PRESCHOOL 60 years after it opened in Broken Hill, Happy Day Preschool and Long Day Care Centre is still providing high level care for local children.

30

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

LOCAL KIDS RECEIVING QUALITY CARE Happy Day Preschool are running their Trivia Night this month. FR popped in to have a chat about that, and discovered a whole world of activity taking place.

Happy Day Preschool and Long Day Care is a multipurpose centre that has provided continual service to Broken Hill children and their families for over 60 years.

Currently there are four rooms operating at Happy Day, with 13 full time staff providing care for approximately 70 children per day. The centre caters for babies through to children who are 5 years of age and boasts an above average staff to child ratio.

Centre Director, Vicki Wallace, is happy with the level of care provided for Happy Day kids. “We are currently operating at above national standard in quality care. We have an above average staff to child ratio, with 3 Diploma staff members and 3 staff members on traineeship. We are a very highly qualified centre”.

Mrs Lynne Nadge (who is currently teaching in the Yellow Room) is the longest serving staff member at the centre.

She has been teaching at Happy Day for 24 years.

Happy Day has a big focus on families and community.

In fact, it began as a school created by housewives of Broken Hill who saw a need for this type of centre. Today, it is still run by a parent committee, and the interests and cultural heritage of families is taken on board and incorporated into the children’s learning.

In each room the programs follow the Early Years Learning Framework, with activities adjusted to age appropriate levels. We spent some time in each of the rooms, watching the littlies learning and discovering with their peers and their teachers.

GUMNUT ROOM- LONG DAY CARE (0-2 YEARS) When we visited the Gumnut Room the children were busy exploring their sensory skills by playing with shaving cream and food colouring. They were having a blast mushing it in their fingers and watching the colour mix in.

It was messy fun...the kids (and the teachers too) were having a great time with their learning!

WOMBAT ROOM- LONG DAY CARE (2-5 YEARS) The children in the Wombat Room have been learning about NAIDOC week through activities such as painting cardboard Boomerangs. They have also been learning about the life cycle of a caterpillar. There is a tank in the Wombat Room with 3 large caterpillars (and another inside a cocoon).

BLUE ROOM- PRESCHOOL (3-4 YEARS) The Blue Room was a maze of activity when we visited.

There were children busy reading, playing with play dough, experimenting with sand trays and ........... They had also been learning about NAIDOC Week with some lovely art work, and some children had made some pretty impressive creations out of recycled materials!

YELLOW ROOM- PRESCHOOL (4-5 YEARS) Children in the Yellow Room have been focusing on School Readiness, with many of the children heading off to ‘big school’ next year. They have been practicing their name writing and simple math concepts such as counting, patterning and sequencing. They have also been practicing pencil grip, threading and scissor skills, as well as developing social and emotional skills through play-based activity.

Happy Day are currently trying to raise funds to purchase new playground equipment, establish a sensory garden and to purchase school supplies. The Trivia and Auction Night will be held on August 24th at the Sturt Club and promises a fun-filled night of trivia, games and auctioning. The event begins at 7 PM. A range of goods and experiences will be auctioned and there will be a cash prize of up to $400 up for grabs. The cost is $15 per person (including supper) and you can book as an individual or group (tables seat up to 10).

For enquiries and bookings for the Trivia Night phone Derrick on 0427544166 or Happy Day on 80881405.

CECIL AND ABIGAILE ENJOYING A BOOK AT THE BROKEN HILL SESSION

Maari Ma: LITTLE KIDS & BOOKS Around Broken Hill and District, children and their families have been participating in the “Little Kids & Books” Project, run by Maari Ma Health Services. The program is an interactive parent child program focussed on reading books with young children.

The program also encourages further learning at home through a book distribution service created to help build home libraries. Children who attend the Early Kids & Books sessions are given a book to take home each session.

The program acknowledges and values the importance of oral story telling traditions as a foundation for language and literacy in Aboriginal communities and the important role that family play as teachers in their children’s early learning and development.

Families who attend this program also gain a sense of community engagement. Families are provided with links to other activities such as health services and social interaction, which increases the families sense of importance in their role as children’s first teacher.

The Little Kids & Books Project started in Menindee in April 2012, and is currently established in Menindee, Wilcannia and Broken Hill. It operates every second week during school terms.

Early Years Project Leader, Narelle Pascoe, says it has been good to see the children progress through these sessions. “We now have toddlers who are confident with books and who see books as being important. They have established book handling behaviors such as selecting books, turning pages and pointing at objects in the books, which is great.”

The program has been well received. There were fortnightly sessions held during Term 2 this year in each location: at Menindee Children’s Centre, at Maari Ma’s Child and Family Unit in Broken Hill, and at Wilcannia’s Women’s Safe House.

The program aims to educate families about the importance of reading at home and the importance of the links between reading and language. The value of story-telling, singing and language development is demonstrated at each session. The sessions provide support to families by showing the enjoyment of reading and providing a responsive and safe environment which reflects culture and community.

32

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

She says the program aims to model behaviors that can be continued at home to help build on the strength of families as teachers. “These are things that many families may already have been doing, this program is just building on that”.

Session Dates for term three are Tuesday 13th and 27th (Broken Hill), Thursday 1st, 15th and 29th (Wilcannia) and August 8th and 27th (Menindee).

VOLUNTEERS OF FAR WEST COMMUNITY TRANSPORT: LISA, JOHN, GLORIA, TEX AND RAELENE.

VOLUNTEERS WITH BIG HEARTS For most of us, the concept of volunteering is lost in todays fast-paced, busy world. Many of us would love to help out, but simply can not find the time. We were amazed to find a local organization whose volunteers have collectively raked up over a hundred years of service to the Broken Hill community. And chatting with them it was plain to see that serving others brings them undeniable joy.

Far West HACC Service volunteers provide transport services for the elderly, intellectually disabled adults and children and those who are transport disadvantaged or socially isolated. The volunteers give their time to either assist clients on outings or as one of the drivers. The buses operate Monday to Friday, throughout all areas of Broken Hill, and assist with taking clients to medical appointments, physiotherapy sessions, grocery shopping, school drop-offs and once a month they head ‘out and about’ to somewhere such as Silverton, Menindee or the Club for dinner as a social activity.

Tex Morton, a volunteer driver and Vice-President of the organization, says he joined the volunteers to help out for a week...and that was over 20 years ago. He says he gets great satisfaction from being a volunteer.

“We get all sorts of clients. It gives you a lot of satisfaction when they are so grateful. If we didn’t do this for people, they would be stuck at home and that would mean they would get very bored and lonely”.

Amongst funny stories of getting bogged and runaway wheelchairs and buses, one can see that these volunteers genuinely have a good time serving others and they love what they do.

One volunteer, Gloria Mitchell, explained the importance of their service with a story of her own personal need for

transport. Her daughter, Makayla Mitchell, has a disability and needed to attend Silverlea for schooling. With the school being located some distance from their house, she was not sure what to do.

“I am so, so grateful for this service. I can’t praise it enough” Gloria said. “The distance was too far for us to walk, taxis were too expensive. If it wasn’t for this service we would have been really stuck.”

Gloria, and another volunteer Lisa Hazer, will reach a milestone shortly, achieving an impressive 20 years volunteering with the service. Three other volunteers, Tex, Raelene and John, have already passed this milestone, with some entering their 24th year of service.

There are approximately 20 volunteers and staff at Far West HACC and they (along with their partners) will be heading to Silverton this August to celebrate with a very well deserved Recognition Awards Dinner.

Sue Johnstone (Community Transport Manager) speaks highly of the volunteers. “They form such an integral part of what we do. Volunteers are the backbone of our services. Without our enthusiastic team of volunteers, it would be impossible to deliver the wide range of services that we are able to provide.”

Sue says the services are well received around town, with hundreds of clients using the transport service and various organisations taking advantage of their bus hire facility.

REAL BUSINESS: SOCIAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT (SROI) Measuring the economic impact of any community operation is a difficult and sometimes highly divisive subject. Most community organisations, associations, both incorporated and unincorporated and companies limited by guarantee, all grouped together in the not-for-profit arena, have outcomes that are not usually economically driven. This means that measurement of impact is usually calculated by people helped, meals served, or other such personal impacts and many organisations have not ever stopped to measure this economically.

Social return on investment is a calculation method that takes many disparate aspects into consideration and can give a financial figure demonstrating the economic impact of work and outcomes in a community context.

The Broken Hill EDC has calculated a figure according to the finances it receives from government, sponsorship and membership fees. For the tax year 2011-2012 the impact was a return to the regional economy of $326 for every $1 that was received by the EDC. The power of being able to quote a figure like this in funding or sponsorship, where a potential sponsor can

BY STEVE MILLER, BROKEN HILL ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

understand that if they sponsor for $5,000 then the impact on the regional economy would be $1,630,000, then that is highly impressive and a great tool to utilize.

Every community outcome can be measured in economic terms. Homelessness has a cost to the local economy.

If one less person is homeless and gain a job then the turnaround cost is major. There is less hospital time needed, no benefits payable, rates return to the council for their property and tax to the government as well as money for that person to spend in the local and wider economy. Therefore this figure is in the thousands of dollars of impact for each year.

Being able to use figures like this and calculating a return makes applying for funding easier and a more persuasive case for gaining sponsorship, especially when the sponsor can use it for their own marketing.

Information about caculating SROI for your not-forprofit organisation can be gained from the EDC. Call the EDC on (08) 8087 9222.

Luke and I had the opportunity to talk with a wide cross section of business and community leaders on the day and that feedback was extremely valuable.

If the Federal Coalition is elected to government, our commitment is to deliver on internet speeds of between 25 mbps and 100 mbps, at least 4x higher than now, to all Australian premises inside the next three years.

THE FABRIC CLOSET An Inspirational local business where quality products and customer service are top priority.

36

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

THE FABRIC CLOSET: A WORLD OF QUALITY AND TIMELESSNESS

QUALITY DESIGNER FABRICS AVAILABLE LOCALLY Prue Sulicich has been the owner and operator of The Fabric Closet since it began in May, 2012. As a young adult traveling around Europe, Prue was inspired by the beautiful fabrics she saw and quickly developed a passion for quality fabrics. This passion grew into the development of The Fabric Closet through Prue’s desire to share her passion with the people of Broken Hill.

Essentially, the Fabric Closet is a designer fabric store, which also offers quality trimmings for crafts and sewing.

When you walk in the store now it is clear that it has grown way beyond the initial aim. The store now stocks stunning handcrafted furniture, as well as unique home and gift wares. There is a custom order service for soft furnishings, decor and furniture as well as sewing classes for both children and adults. There is even a high quality dressmaker available to custom create outfits.

“What I enjoy most about my business is working everyday surrounded by the things I love”, Prue says.

“Each day I get to experience happiness when customers create, buy or order something, whether it be for themselves or a loved one”.

Prue also says its so nice to see beautiful custom furniture going to great homes around Broken Hill. Jamie Algate is the master furniture creator for The Fabric Closet and he creates the solid, timeless pieces of furniture that will last for generations. It is obvious that his furniture is made with such dedication and passion to the craft.

The Fabric Closet offers many unique items to Broken Hill. Prue strives to stock items which are exclusive to her store and different to what is already on offer locally. She says locals and visitors alike have been very receptive to the quirky and unique “Broken Hill” mementos and the

range of personalized gifts that are kept in store.

“I think it is important to offer Broken Hill variety.

There are so many new and exciting people going into business...people that I grew up with. These people are offering a new generation of goods and services. They are so varied with what is on offer from beautiful baby clothes, cafes, florists, artwork, gift lines and clothing. I am honoured and excited to be a part of the expanding new business scene of Broken Hill and I hope with each new business that people feel they can find what they are looking for locally”.

From the start of August there will be a new sewing class schedule beginning. As in the past, the schedule is there as a guide and Prue is happy for anyone to come along and do your own thing or complete your unfinished projects. For the month of August Prue is offering FOR REAL readers half price membership for The Fabric Closet. Being a member gives you benefits like attending our social sewing nights for free, being the first to view new stock, pre-sale shopping and 10% off all fabric all year round. Just mention that you have read this article to receive your half price membership.

Most importantly, when you visit The Fabric Closet you will receive fantastic customer service, a quality that is sometimes lost in the business of todays society. You will always be greeted with a smile from either Prue or the other members of her team. “Customer Service is our top priority. We are here to help in any way we can”.

The Fabric Closet is located on the Town Square, 13 Chloride Street, or phone (08) 8088 1809 for more information about their products and services.

BROKEN HILL HUNGRY JACK’S Broken Hill Hungry Jack’s gets a makover, under the watchful eye of owner Carrie Oakley.

38

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

HUNGRY JACK’S BROKEN HILL - THE FIRST THIRD PARTY FRANCHISED HUNGRY JACK’S RESTAURANT IN AUSTRALIA.

A NEW LOOK FOR THE LOCAL HUNGRY JACK’S Over the last couple of months you would have noticed some changes happening at the Broken Hill Hungry Jack’s restaurant. We certainly did. So we decided to talk with franchise owner, Carrie Oakley, to find out more.

“The best thing about having a fast-food store is the mentoring you are able to provide your young and older staff” says Carrie. “I get a great kick out of helping guide the younger generation to success”.

As Carrie enters her tenth year as franchisee, there’s no sign of slowing down. “A business now is just like a car” says Carrie, “If it’s not driven properly, it will crash. If you realise this, you will never fail.”

First, a little history - Hungry Jack’s is a franchise of the international Burger King Corporation and has operated in Australia since 1971.

In the first ten years, Hungry Jack’s had grown to 26 stores in three states. Hungry Jack’s now has locations in every state, with over 340 stores across Australia.

The recent renovations include a refresh of the diner interior, extensions to the play area and outdoor areas and a repaint of the exterior. “The renovations have lead to improved comfort for our customers in both indoor and outdoor dining and an improved play area for the kids” says Carrie.

In 1990 there were changes to the franchise agreement which allowed Competitive Foods to franchise Hungry Jack’s stores as independent businesses. Broken Hill was the first of these third party franchisees. It opened its doors on the 17th of December 1991, just in time for the Christmas rush.

In addition to the renovations, Carrie says the team is working to improve the level of customer service, with faster drive-through service and increased recruiting and training of staff.

Local resident, Carrie Oakley, purchased the Broken Hill Hungry Jack’s franchise around nine years ago from BRW rich list and Competitive Foods owner Mr Jack Cowin.

So next time you’re chomping down a Whopper, take a moment to reflect on the rich history and bright future of the re-energised Hungry Jack’s Broken Hill.

A CAREER IN FILM PRODUCTION With Broken Hill’s amazing cinematic history and with its current rating as one of the most recognized filming locations in the world, a career in the local film industry sounds both exciting and rewarding. We thought it would be interesting to explore this type of career path, so we caught up with local resident Lyndall Roberts to find out more about working in the buzz of film production.

What is your current job title and what does your job involve?

My role is the Film Production Co-ordinator, which sits within the Economic Development area of the Broken Hill City Council.

It is a production attraction role, where I catch the attention of all different types of media (such as feature films, documentary, TV shows and photography) to film in Broken Hill. This happens either by pitching on projects, meet and greet, or locating film sites and services for potential productions. It also means that I am responsible for making sure Broken Hill has a high profile in terms of the industry and this involves advertising, website, presentations and networking.

I also oversee the operations of Broken Hill Studios promoting it to potential tenants, film-makers, government officials or other agencies. This is a diverse role as the intention for the site is for it to be a hub for a vast range of activity, from film to production support offices, education, art, events and tourism.

In addition to this, I also provide production support and direction to the Economic Development department on the materials that we print or produce to promote Broken Hill as a place to live, work, visit or invest.

So although my role is a varied one, ultimately it’s all about presenting Broken Hill as a place that is creative, dynamic, capable and located within an accessible and scenic location.

How did you become involved in the industry? What experiences have you had?

I managed to get my foot in the door doing work experience during my time at University; it was at a Melbourne advertising agency called Publicist Mojo.

Mojo has produced campaigns such as Tourism Victoria, Cadbury and Coca-Cola, to name just a few.

They’re very well known within the industry and it was a terrific experience to start out my career. Those same contacts that were made at Mojo recommended me to another agency. I started at Cummins & Partners after I finished my TV Production Degree, first as as a Junior Producer and from there I worked my way up the ranks of TV Producing. During that time I managed some great

clients both large and small. My most recent work was with Badjar Ogilvy, another agency on the international landscape and one of the largest agencies in Melbourne.

It’s a high energy career path as a TV Producer managing staff, meeting deadlines and expectations while aiming to deliver advertising that satisfies both agency, client and consumer. But the rewards are definitely there and my teams have even won some awards along the way!

What other roles have you had previously?

I’ve been working in the industry for about 17 years in various roles. I am from Broken Hill which is a great place to fall in love with the movies and Bobbie Pickup (a well known local talent agent) provided me with my first industry experience as a runner on a Telstra television commercial that was shot at Belmont Station. I also worked at the local TV station, GTS BKN, performing various roles like filming, voiceover and editing. Then I went on to University and received my bachelor’s degree in TV Production and my short film was shown at various festivals.

Since then I have worked as a TV Producer for various global advertising agencies. As a TV producer you really manage the full spectrum of activity from scripts, locations, to talent, wardrobe, working with different creative teams, filming, all facets of post production and results - all within budgets and timeframes. This has all provided great background to the work I am doing now.

What advice would you give to someone considering a career in this industry?

Its good have some formal education from a reputable school or university, like Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), Charles Sturt University, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and so on.

It’s also good to get as much experience and training in the film industry as you can. Plenty of us work for free early in our careers just to gain experience and it’s through practical experience you really start to become familiar with how productions work. It’s also great networking as the industry is relatively small so people talk and obviously will recommend. Watch films, documentaries, TV shows and even the ads in between.

Listen to radio commercials. Read the magazines and subscribe to on-line sources of creative information.

Critique, learn, admire and understand the work that does go into them.

Realize that when you are starting out sometimes all you will be doing is making coffee. It happens to the best of us, even Spielberg had to do it. [continued on page 42]

What have you found unique about working in Broken Hill?

Working in Broken Hill enables me to work closely with some major film professionals who have worked on high profile films and TV shows. It’s understandable why they want to come here when Broken Hill is one of the most recognized filming locations in the world. This is very inspiring. As are the many local’s that have been involved in filming over the past 40 years.

Of course, the major benefit for film makers is that Broken Hill has brilliant infrastructure, great accommodation for crews of all sizes, connections to major cities, Broken Hill Studios, unique locations within an hour from the City and of course our can-do community.

But the real rewards come from seeing the productions go to air and the great PR and accolades that Broken Hill receives.

Broken Hill has an amazing cinematic history that not a lot of small regional towns have and that’s something to be very proud of. There is still plenty of opportunity ahead as the internet, social media and changes in film production make this location more accessible. For Broken Hill this means taking our iconic images further than any marketing budget could ever achieve.

Stonegrill is a unique ‘interactive’ dining system that allows fresh food to be presented - literally cooking - on a 400 degree celcius heated stone. “it’s quite an amazing experience” says Adrian, “the customer is able to let the steak cook to their exact likling, and the best part - the last mouthful is just as warm as the first, no longer is your steak cold by the time you get to the last piece.”

The Stonegrill system is also a healthy option. Steaks cooked on the stonegrill have had the fat removed.

You basically get a lean, hearty sized steak sizzling to perfection with you in the drivers seat.

commenced operating in June this year, the Stonegrill has proven to be a very popular addition to the existing menu.

The Stonegrill is available for lunch and dinner 7 days a week, as well as all your favourite club meals already on the menu.

In addition to the Stonegrill, Club Legion welcomes to the team a new chef, Brenton Rogers. “Brenton brings a wealth of experience to the club.” says Adrian. “He has a reputation for consistently producing quality meals and Brenton is excited by a new challange and looking forward to offering this unique dining experience to Broken Hill exclusively at Club Legion.”

REAL LIFESTYLE: Natures Solution To Stress Essential oils have been prized for centuries for their health-giving properties & soothing scents - natures gift to the body & soul. Aromatherapy is the modern development of this ancient art, using essential oils to enhance wellbeing, alleviate symptoms of illness & to promote good health. The reasons for its growing popularity are many, not least being the gentle, natural approach to healing & its soothing effects on the body.

Essential oils are derived from various plants. They are pure plant essences & are made up of numerous organic molecules & contain the DNA or hormones of that particular plant. It is these pure plant hormones that affect our olfactory system, which is our sense of smell. Think of your favourite smell & it will no doubt induce a memory or a feeling. For instance when you smell apple pie baking in the oven, the combination of apple & cinnamon invokes that warm, contented feeling that we get when we eat the apple pie, but the smell itself triggers that sensation.

Or when you first open a jar of coffee, you get that exhilarating, heady jolt that enlivens the senses; this is our olfactory system working, it relates smell to feeling.

The organic molecules & hormones of the essential oils are also able to penetrate the skin to therefore have an effect directly to our internal systems. Some oils such

BY KATE PRYOR, AURA CLINIC & SPA

as those known for their antiseptic properties, are more effectively applied (in diluted form) directly to minor wounds. Others, like those that help pain or stress, may be applied through massage or bathing.

Essential oils are not only derived from various plants, but also specific parts of the plant. For example, only the roots of ginger, the flowers of lavender & the leaves of rosemary are used. Some plants yield oils of quite different therapeutic properties from their different parts: the orange tree yields orange absolute from its flowers, bitter orange oil from its peel & petitgrain oil from its leaves & twigs.

Aromatherapy is easy to use at home & has wonderful benefits to relieving stress, below are some favourite tried & tested blends. Using multiple essential oils will actually enhance the properties of each of the oils. (a blend of three is best) You can use these blends in a vapouriser or oil burner, added to a bath or as a body rub. Any time you use your essential oils as a body rub make sure you add them to a carrier oil, such as Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil or for very dry skin Avocado Oil. Allow your massage therapist to melt your worries away with these natural stress busting blends!

RUGBY LEAGUE The Outback Rugby League heats up this month, with a close ladder in the lead up to the Grand Finals.

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

LAST YEARS (2012) PREMIERSHIP WINNERS

A FIGHTING FINISH FOR RUGBY LEAGUE The month of August will see the Outback Rugby League season come to a close with the Grand Final to be held on 25th August. With the positions on the ladder still open it’s going to be a fight to the end. FR spoke with NRL Development Officer, Matt Kiddle to get the low-down on the current state-of-play in the lead up to this nail-bighting finish.

With such a close ladder there’s bound to be mixed opinions as to who the favourites are coming into the finals. “I think all of the top 4 have a good chance of winning the premiership” says Matt.

“The Boomerangs have the finals experience to take them all the way while the Saints and Eagles have very strong sides across the park. The Geebungs have a very talented side and when they hit top gear they can beat anyone in this competition. You would be silly to take any game lightly from now on in, every point will count and the ladder will be swapping around every round from now on in. It’s very exciting as a player and a rugby league follower to see a competition this close and not knowing who is going to win each week.”

As the competition heats up so will the atmosphere and this sets the stage for great crowds. “The crowds have

PLUS

been outstanding this year” says Matt, “...every club has been getting a lot of supporters to the ground to cheer their side on. I know at the Menindee local derby there would have been over 100 cars surrounding the oval to cheer on their side. It creates a great environment for the players and makes the game more enjoyable to play.”

The performance of teams this year suggests there’s a great future for the competition going forward. “It has been a while since the competition was this close” says Matt. “it’s great to see all positions on the ladder still open and been fought for by teams. It’s not often the minor premiership race is this close, there are still 4 teams who have a chance of winning that direct path through to the grand final.”

When asked if the Saints have a chance to win the premiership Matt responded, “The belief is certainly there within the playing squad that we have the ability to win this title. When we play our best footy we are very hard to stop and we have shown that this year, but only in patches. So come finals time it will be important to play a full 80 minutes of quality rugby league, if we can do that we will be very hard to beat.”

The park contains a series of pieces that point to the history, art and culture of Broken Hill along with the greenery that makes it so welcoming from first glance.

The Black Lion Inn is an iconic pub in Broken Hill which opened it’s doors on the 16th December 1900, under the name of “The Federal Palace Hotel”. In the 1950s the name was changed to “The Federal Hotel” and is now known as “The Black Lion Inn”.

Almost directly in the centre of town, Kintore Reserve is a great spot for tourists and has a retired wooden head frame, originally put to work in the 1800s.

The building was built in two parts, the original building (front part) housed a hotel with 24 rooms and a dining area.

There are also two enormous Pro Hart sculptures depicting the life the miners of Broken Hill, a plaque dedicated to the Brushmen of the Bush and a sculpture done by TAFE students, depicting the most famous mineral found in our town.

The two story building originally consisted of a barber shop and other small shops and has since been purchased and converted into apartment style accommodation. The hotel was remoded in 1971 and has evolved over the years and now accommodates a cocktail bar and beer garden areas.

Combining two of the strongest aspects of Broken Hill’s culture, those of art and mining, Kintore Reserve has become a unique and beautiful reflection of the town itself.

THE NAMING OF “BROKEN HILL” Recently FR Creative Director, Josh Cowdrey, was asked by a visitor where the name “Broken Hill” came from. Not really knowing how to answer the question, we decided to research how our beloved town got it’s name “Broken Hill”. After a quick Google search, we discovered a short explanation on Wikipedia.

Silver ore was later discovered on this broken hill in 1883 by a boundary rider named Charles Rasp. The “broken hill” that gives its name to Broken Hill actually comprised a number of hills that appeared to have a break in them.

The broken hill no longer exists, having been mined away.

Broken Hill is Australia’s longest-lived mining city. In 1844, the explorer Charles Sturt saw and named the Barrier Range, and at the time referred to a “Broken Hill” in his diary.

The area was originally known as Willyama. Before Charles Sturt’s naming of the town, the surrounding area was referred to by the local Aboriginal population as the “Leaping Crest”.

Keep It Real Our tourism and film industries put Broken Hill on the world stage and bring in over $60 million dollars* each year.

That’s REAL money and REAL jobs for our community. So it pays to be a local that knows a bit about your home town.

For more information on what people from ‘away’ are here to see – log onto www.brokenhillaustralia.com.au or call into the Visitor Information Centre.

We are all part of the story. *Source Destination NSW and Broken Hill Film, Studios and Precinct Business Plan
