Wyangala Dam: A 100-metre jetty is set to be installed at Wyangala Dam, with the state government committing $100,000 to the project.

The facility will be available for use year-round, and will also allow for other activities such as fishing.

At the Age Of Fishes AGM: In December last year Dr Alex Ritchie was presented with a Life Membership to the AOFM (presented) by Ms Sharon D’Elboux (Chair). Dr Alex Ritchie, is a Palaeontologist, Senior Fellow at the Australian Museum of Natural History and the ‘Father’ of the Canowindra fossils. In January 1993, after a 20 year search, an exploratory dig by Dr Alex rediscovered the source of the 1955 fossil fish slab and with local community support and earth moving equipment (provided by Cabonne Shire Council), he supervised the 10-day major excavation of this world-class fossil fish site.

Congratulations: To local paramedic Gary Murphy and his wife Amanda who are celebrating their 15th Wedding Anniversary
today! The couple were married in Orange on January 18, 2003 and have two sons William and Ronan. They settled in Canowindra in 2010.
