Blacktown City Show

The Voice of the Show – Carol Heuchan The Carol Heuchan is a lady of many hats. She has been a professional horsewoman for most of her life, training riders and show horses and competing successfully in thirty-four Royal Easter Shows. She is also a highly qualified National Judge and has judged internationally. In 2003, her first book was published and led her to the world of Bush Poetry which she took by storm, amassing a swag of awards. Twice Australian Champion and nine times Laureate award winner, five books and five CD’s (all award winning), she is also the winner of the richest prize in poetry history – a thirtyfour thousand dollar tractor! Carol has been on the winning team in the World Poetry Debate and has been part of numerous Australia-wide radio programs and featured in the ABC television series “Bush Slam”, shown many times on national prime time television. She has just completed her eleventh International performance tour of the U.S. and has another awaiting confirmation. Carol also has numerous bookings for some of the biggest events in the Southern Hemisphere for 2018. Needless to say, Carol Heuchan is in great demand as an entertainer, compere, writer, guest speaker, judge of horses and poetry, and horse events commentator (anything to get out of housework, she says!)

You may have heard her voice at the Royal Easter Show where she was the very popular Main Arena Commentator for six years. Carol has had a long association with Agricultural Shows. Combining this connection and passion with her talent at the microphone, ensures Blacktown Show will be worth listening to!

One of Australia’s oldest professions, and one of Blacktown City’s favourite sports in earlier times, is again one of the attractions at this year’s Blacktown City Show. In the early days no-one thought of woodchopping as a sport, just another novelty show attraction. Brawny, hard-drinking axemen took part in informal contests, but there were no rules as such. Gradually rules did evolve and by the beginning of the century, woodchopping became established as an important event at any big show in Australia and New Zealand. The advent of the chainsaw ended the era of the axemen in the forests but the sport lives on and is still thriving in Australia.

Levi Pendlebury The Village Blacksmith

The understanding of metal is as important part of our history as farming or agricultural. I’ve believed this since I was 13 when I first saw a blacksmith. Now at 32, it gives me great pleasure to share some of my

knowledge and metalworks to the public. Learn about the first tools, and how the industrial revolution began, and be lucky enough to take some - thing home made by Levi, the village blacksmith.

Ras’s working & high jumping dogs

Ras’s working & high jumping dogs will be at this year’s show with demonstrations of not only man’s best friend’s amazing ability to handle and muster stock but also you can bring your own pooch along for the high jumping contest. Kylie & Darren Adams, both successful competitors in cattle dog trialing, will have their dogs on hand and explain some of their training techniques and how & why working dogs are used on farms around Australia every day. The dogs used are known as New Zealand short haired collies (think Footrot flats) and bred solely for

their knack to control all kinds of livestock, from sheep & goats to cattle & the ducks that will be used today. The light hearted yet informative demonstration starts with basic breaking-in methods through to actually working a flock of ducks within meters of the crowd with two dogs working as one to manoeuvre the ducks under the control of their master. At the end of each show Darren & Kylie will bring the dogs out into the crowd so as the young & old alike can get up close and have a pat with these amazing hounds. Not only will you see working

displays but also a high jumping competition in which you can enter your own dog to try and scale the wall and be declared champion. The contest is open to all dogs and they must clear a wall that increases in height with each successful attempt. Ras’s dogs have been named champion high jumping dog at the Sydney Royal Easter Show three times and have jumped over 2.5m high. As well as the collie’s jumping we will also have some little mini foxie’s jumping incredible heights that are sure to be a crowd favourite.

Once again you are more than welcome to come up and say Gday for a ‘Pat & Chat’ after the show.

Blacktown City Show

A popular spot at the Blacktown City Show with the young at heart is the Animal Farm Nursery. We would like to welcome Rhonda Hall, the principal of All Animals – Animal Farm Nursery, who is again organising this year’s display. Rhonda will have many new animals at the Show as well as the old favourites. With over 20 years experience, Rhonda said her main aim is to let

Animal Farmyard Nursery Fun

children relate to animals in the most positive way. It also gives children a chance to groom, feed and care for a great variety of animals, teaching them respect for all creatures and minimises the chance of accidents, Rhonda said. Finally we try to leave them with wonderful memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Be sure to visit All Animals Animal Farm Nursery at this year’s Show.

Antique Machinery Sydney Antique Machinery Club is back again this year. They will be easy to find by the sound of old engines running like they did when Grandpa was a boy. Come and have a look and a yarn with the Club members who have brought a few samples of their hobby for you to enjoy in a good restoration they run as badly as they did when they were new. Tell them about your own favourite memory of old machinery from when you were growing up in the (so called) good old days. The Club was formed to bring together people with an interest in old machinery, particularly old engines and tractors and the equipment driven by them. The Club promotes the preservation and restoration of this equipment and its members provide advice and assistance to each other. The Club meets monthly at Hawkesbury Showground, between Windsor & Richmond and organises one major rally each year on the third

weekend in September. They also attend many events run by other organisations, and conduct displays of their machinery. A 1/3 scale Fowler traction engine, built by one of our members, will be moving around the Showground and is worth a close look when you see it.

At

Mt Druitt Indigenous Choir

present, the band consists of 28 members ranging from ages 6 to 23. The band has regularly performed on a number of major occasions like ANZAC parade, Sydney Royal Easter show, Christmas Tree Lightups and yearly town festivals. Aside from its regular perfomances, BCCB is actively performing in local schools, churches, hospitals, nursing homes and even jail houses. BCCB is based in Sydney, Australia and meets

every Sunday at 2:00 to 5:00 pm for regular practice and rehearsals. The band aims to develop young generation’s musicality and instil responsibility and commitment through community involvement and mission work. We welcome new members. For enquiries, please contact us via email at info@ bccbsydney.org. For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face. — Psalm 11:7 (NIV)

The choir has now become very popular and have sang at thirty venues last year – not many choirs have this many opportnities. They perform by invitation at functions around the city and country. The local Aboriginal language Dharug is being taught to the choir, as well as the English songs, so they can portray the links directly to their culture in performances. Their website is www.onegoodday.org.au.

Blacktown City Show The group was form in 2014 to showcase the variety dances from Bolivia, the ages range from 5 years to late 50’s having a kids group and adults, where disability is not an issue. Anyone can dance Typical dances like: Caporales is a traditional Andean dance originated in La Paz, Bolivia. [1] Caporales were presented to the public for the first time in 1969 by the Estrada Pacheco brothers, who were inspired in the character of the ‘Caporal’ this is the overseer of the black slaves and was usually mixed race, wore boots and held a whip, a dance that belongs to the region of the Yungas, Bolivia[2]

Tinku, a Bolivian Aymara tradition, began as a form of ritualistic combat. In the Aymara language, it means “meeting-encounter.”[1] During this ritual, men and women from different communities will meet and begin the festivities by dancing. The women will then form circles and begin chanting while the men proceed to fight each other; rarely the women will join in the fighting as well. Large tinkus are held inPotosí during the first few weeks of May. The Tobas were a tribe of warriors who lived in the Chaco region of Bolivia. When the Incas came to conquer them, they were amazed by the rich culture of fierce warriors that

they encountered. The Incas greatly admired the Tobas dance and they were taken from their Amazonian homeland by the Emperor Tupac Yupanqui. The dance and music of the Tobas has been reinterpreted by subsequent people of Bolivia like the Aymara and the Mestizos. Diablada or Danza de los Diablos (English: Dance of the Demons), is an original and typical dance from the region of Oruro in Bolivia. characterized by the mask and devil suit worn by the performers.[4][5] The dance is a mixture of religious theatrical presentations brought from Spain and Andean religious ceremonies such as the Llama llama dance in honor of the Uru god Tiw (protector of mines, lakes, and

rivers),[6] and the Aymaran miners’ ritual to Anchanchu, Morenada (Dance of the Black Slaves)[1] is a music and dance style from the Bolivian Andes characterized by a mixture of African and Indigenous elements.[2] The origins of this dance, the three main hypotheses say that the dance could have been inspired in African slaves brought to Bolivia to work in the silver mines of Potosí, another theory states that it would be inspired in the Afro-Bolivian community living in the Yungas region of La Paz, and the third main theory links this dance with the Aymara culture due to the findings of cave paintings in the Lake Titicaca shores in the Taraco peninsula.

In 2008, two machinery and truck enthusiasts started talking about old trucks and clubs and, in the absence of a club in Sydney, decided to form one themselves. They set about planning, and historical registration was granted by the RTA and The Western Sydney Historical Truck Club (Inc) had its first meeting in December 2009 and hasn’t looked back since. The Club holds its major event, “Haulin’ The Hume”’ every two years, where trucks travel the old Hume Highway to reminisce the good ol’ days and to raise funds for Autism Spectrum. Many of the truck drivers, transport industry companies and sponsors have

family members affected by autism, so there is no hesitation by people to support the event. We have trucks from all over Australia who travel from their home State just to participate in this one event. Today, the Club has 112 members who enjoy regular get-togethers which include breakfast runs, family run days and sometimes just a barbecueand-movie night. We also attend events in support of other clubs and groups in country areas, throughout the year. We try to have something every month and they are always well attended.
