Curiosity in the spotlight at Science Circus

Spin like an ice-skater without ice, compare your reflexes to a Formula 1 driver and see your fingertips under the microscope. The Benalla Indoor Recreation Centre will soon be overflowing with exciting hands-on science exhibits when the Shell Questacon Science Circus comes to town.

On Thursday 23 October from 5 pm – 8 pm, visitors of all ages can also enjoy spectacular shows with Science Circus presenters holding fire in their hands, lying on a bed of nails and revealing the intriguing science behind magic tricks.

“There’s heaps for people to try themselves, like the amazing experiments at our lab bench. You can create a cloud inside a bottle, play with a liquid magnet, and lots more,” said Science Circus presenter Karina Judd.

“We have over 40 exhibits, so there’s something for everyone to discover. My favourite is the glow-in-the-dark wall that lets you step away from your shadow like Peter Pan.”

The team is visiting primary and high schools in the Benalla region this week, presenting science shows for students and running professional development workshops for teachers.

“We’re really excited to see all of the students we’ve visited at schools joining the rest of the community at the public exhibition to enjoy more hands-on science. Experiencing the Science Circus is a great way for people to satisfy their curiosity about science and the world around us,” said Karina.

The Science Circus is made up of 12 young scientists who have taken a year away from research to share their love of science with communities across Australia. The Science Circus aims to spark an interest in science in the next generation of curious Australian minds.

“The range of scientists in the Science Circus shows that stereotypes of scientists aren’t always true. We have people in the team who have researched diverse areas from marine animals to astronomy, from robotic guitars to tsunamis,” said Karina.

The 12 presenters are currently studying a Master of Science Communication Outreach at The Australian National University. They spend three months of the year travelling across Australia with the Shell Questacon Science Circus to engage people with science and technology.

The Shell Questacon Science Circus is a proud initiative of Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre, Shell and The Australian National University. The programme has been travelling Australia for 29 years, inspiring over 2.2 million people across the nation with interactive science demonstrations.

“Steam On The Southern Line” with “The Spiral Flyer”

The Lachlan Valley Railway (LVR) have announced their upcoming steam tour in the Riverina. Dubbed “The Spiral Flyer,” lunch and dinner trips from Cootamundra to Junee are on offer, with connections from Temora and Stockinbingal aboard it’s Vintage CPH Railmotors. The train will run on the 11th and 12th October.

“We have been keen to come back to Cootamundra with steam, and I’m thrilled the opportunity has finally presented itself,” said LVR Secretary Treasurer John Healey. “Cootamundra has been a great support to us over the years as home to our CPH Railmotors, so it’s a great thing for us to bring our steam locos to town”

The LVR came through Cootamundra in March this year with Powerhouse Museum’s locomotive 3265 (pronounced Thirty-Two Sixty-Five) on the way to and from Albury. However, this will be the first time that the LVR’s own steam locomotives have been in Cootamundra since 2009.
Rides are available on the heritage CPH Railmotors from Temora and Stockinbingal to Cootamundra. Passengers then board the steam train hauled by steam locomotive 5917 (pronounced Fifty-Nine Seventeen) to the famous railway town of Junee where they have two hours to enjoy lunch or dinner. The train will return to Cootamundra, traversing the famous Bethungra Spiral, to meet the connecting CPH Railmotors back to Stockinbingal and Temora.

NRMA Business Motoring To Give Away Tamworth Experience of a Lifetime!

The 2014 Tamworth Country Music Festival saw iconic Aussie brand the National Roads and Motorists’ Association connect with Country Music for the first time. NRMA Business Motoring provides roadside assistance, fleet support and advocacy for 22,000 businesses across NSW and the ACT. Head of NRMA Business Motoring Matthew Beattie said supporting the Country Music business was a big part of the NRMA’s work in helping businesses across regional NSW and the ACT.

Since January, NRMA Business Motoring’s support of Country Music has grown to include the naming rights sponsorship of nation-wide tours including Golden Guitar nominated acts like Paul Costa and Kristy Cox, as well as helping kick start the career of rising star trio Georgia Fall.

“NRMA Business Motoring is all about keeping business vehicles on the road, so when we saw the chance to support exciting young bands touring like Georgia Fall who were going to spend many months on the road in 2014, it just made sense for us to get behind them as they arrive for success in the music business. ” Beattie said.

But NRMA Business Motoring is far from done with their support of the Tamworth Festival and will be back in a big way in 2015!

“At the 2014 Festival, our team experienced just how amazing Tamworth can be. So as we build awareness of how NRMA Business Motoring can help with business vehicles of all shapes and sizes, we wanted to give others the chance to share the same amazing party as well!” Said Beattie

With the help of superstar acts The McClymonts, O’Shea and Jetty Road, NRMA Business Motoring is proud to launch “The Great Aussie Country Party” competition. This competition will run from October to Mid-December. The grand prize will see a lucky winner and their guest attend Tamworth for the 10 days of the Festival thanks to NRMA Business Motoring.

This “Country Party” prize package includes up close and personal experiences with The McClymonts, O’Shea, Jetty Road, flights for two (2) people to Tamworth from any capital city in Australia, accommodation for two (2) people for the entire 10 days of the Festival, two (2) tickets to the NRMA Business Motoring Country Music Cocktails, two (2) tickets to all other five (5) NRMA presented concerts during the Festival, two (2) tickets to Country Music’s ‘Night of Nights’ the Golden Guitar Awards and transfers and travel during the Festival.

There is no denying that this prize package is simply a ‘Money-can’t-buy” experience for the lucky winners!

“The festival is the ultimate party in the country. So whether you are a fan of Country Music or not, we are pretty certain that if you win this prize, you will be converted for life.” Surmised Beattie.

The competition is open to all Australian citizens, and can be entered at www.nrmacountryparty.com

Jimmy Barnes cancels appearance at Deni Ute Muster on doctor’s orders

It is with much regret that Jimmy Barnes has had to cancel his appearance at the Deni Ute Muster on Saturday, 4 October due to ongoing health problems.

Jimmy Barnes has been in hospital for the past few weeks after suffering further complications and setbacks as a result of elective back surgery. Despite all hope and assurances given that he would be well enough to appear, it is now clear that this will not be the case and his doctors have ordered complete bed rest and organisers wish him a speedy recovery.

Jimmy said today “I’m so sorry, Musterers. I’ve been hoping and doing everything I can to get myself well enough to join you next weekend but it’s taking longer to bounce back than we thought and I’ve had to pull out under doc’s orders. The Deni Ute Muster is one of the great Australian events and to miss out on their 16^th anniversary is heartbreaking for us all. Sending special thanks to our friend for stepping in for us at such short notice – Thanks Kasey!”

Having just announced a national tour starting in November, and released her 10^th studio album, Bittersweet, Australia’s much loved and Award winning Queen of Country, Kasey Chambers, is returning to the Muster stage and we couldn’t be happier. Kasey said today “Sorry that Jimmy can’t make the Deni Ute Muster due to doctor’s orders but I’m happy to be stepping in to fill those mighty shoes on Saturday night… I’ve always loved playing at Deni and can’t wait to get that chance again this weekend. Will have to brush up on my Barnsey songs tho …. eek!! Get well Jimmy!”

The Deni Ute Muster is an iconic “bucket list” event for all Australians and with less than a week to go, there’ll be plenty of men, women and kids, and their utes, descending on Deniliquin for the 2014 instalment of the “Muster”.

With only 5 days left until the Deni Ute Muster kicks off its 16^th birthday celebrations, the set-up is well and truly underway with Mack the Transporter and Lightning McQueen – two of the stars of the incredibly popular Disney-Pixar animated films Cars and Cars 2 – and the hugely anticipated, record-breaking, supercharged Holden GTS Maloo (declared as the WORLD’s FASTEST UTE) already on their way to Deniliquin.

Also on its way is the 1,000 horsepower JCB GT, a unique ‘one-off’ machine powered by a supercharged Chevrolet V8 big block engine and equipped with a belt driven supercharger and pair of four barrelled Holley carbs. The JCB GT will be operated by “The Dig”, the nickname given to JCB Demonstrator Matt Lucas who has travelled with the GT from the UK.

The JCB GT will be joined in the Arena by the JCB Dancing Diggers, whose stunning acrobatics have become a YouTube hit.

These exciting drawcards are only part of the popular attractions on tap at the 2014 Deni Ute Muster.

Over the two days fans will be treated to the Bull Ride Spectacular, The Australian National Circle Work Championships, Yarn Bombing a Ute, the Ute Museum, Holden Grunt Off, Holden Barrel Race, Show ‘n’ Shine, Carnivale Corner, the World Record Blue Singlet challenge, helicopter rides, the mechanical bucking bull, woodchop demonstrations and Whip Cracking Championships and many more attractions setting the scene for what will undoubtedly be one hell of a Muster!!

Muster MC’s, The Sunny Cowgirls will also take to the main stage on Saturday afternoon for their own performance that will certainly be one to watch. We also welcome back AFL Legend Billy Brownless, five time Olympic Medallist Melanie Schlanger and Olympic Swimmer Chris Wright as official Deni Ute Muster ambassadors at this year’s festival.

The 2014 Deni Ute Muster is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
