If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you will need a heater for outdoor activities. In Southern Hemisphere you need to rent shade clothes so that it does not get very hot. As well as for those things you may have a travel table, bar table, bar serving equipment, adequate seats and many more. Your Christmas catering Company will help you with all these needs and more.
You can be glad that it is a good idea to hire some service staff to be careful about setting up a drink service and employees' Christmas party and if not, for some interested people. Professional catering staff are trained in alcohol service and have the training and experience to potentially be in most of the situations.


We welcome visitors most times of year, but the best time to tour the farm and gardens is spring, summer, and fall. During the growing season we often host Farm-Gate Fridays, where farm produce is available for purchase (announced on our Facebook page). Please contact us for directions to the farm.
If you are interested in spending some time helping out with farm work and other projects, we would be happy to consider your application. We can accept a limited number of guests through the warmer months of the year (May to October). A minimum stay of 2 weeks is preferred. Such guests are expected to put in approximately 25 hours per week, and in exchange will receive meals and a guest cabin to sleep in, if available (first come, first serve). Campsites and tents are also provided.
We can accept occasional farm help during the off-season. Dragonfly Cottage is an ideal option for winter accommodation, and we may also have one small winterized space available. However, because we have low labour needs during that time, summertime visits are preferred.
To apply: Please send us a message, providing a brief description of yourself, what interests you about the community, and any skills or experience you have that you can contribute.
Community membership is a major life-long commitment – like entering into a family. The process of becoming a full community member begins organically with us getting to know you, and vice versa. We would ask that you spend one full year living on the farm to find out if you are a good fit for the community, and if the community is a good fit for you.
The cost to become a full member is the value of one share based on current share price (currently somewhere between $40k and $50k), plus the cost to build your own home on a one-acre lot of your choice.
While we are not currently seeking new members at this time, we would be happy to get to know you if you felt drawn to membership here.
To begin the process: Please tell us your story, including your background, what elicited your interest in Snow Lake Keep, a bit about your goals and your dreams, and a description of your skills and experience that could help complement the community. We look forward to hearing from you.
We are excited to offer guests the unique experience of living off-grid in a queer-positive community environment in Dragonfly Cottage, a beautiful timber-frame house equipped with full kitchen, wood cookstove, hot shower, and wifi, and is within view of the Bay of Fundy.
Dragonfly Cottage is now available for nightly or weekly rentals.

I love Tactical Black Friday for several reasons. Mainly, I can justify some pretty BA purchases by telling my wife that they are on SALE!

Getting positive online reviews can be tough – even more so when you work in a field that's considered controversial or is embarrassing for consumers to acknowledge they frequent. For example, if you're in the cannabis industry or the plastic surgery industry, you might find it difficult to get your customers to leave online reviews because those individuals want to maintain their privacy.
Several review websites provide an option to leave a review anonymously. This may be the best option for your customers. Promising anonymity motivates customers who had good experiences with your company, but feel uncomfortable sharing their thoughts in a review. For instance, someone who underwent plastic surgery may want to keep it confidential, but can still give accolades to the doctor and staff who performed the operation.
These review websites give individuals the option to select whether or not they'd like their name and/or location to appear when they leave a review for a company. It's helpful if the anonymous reviewer provides some specific details about his or her experience so the review appears authentic.

The Board unanimously reapproved the subdivision after Dan Ciarcia, the applicant's engineer advised the Board that the original SEQRA and stormwater findings were still valid.
The Board unanimously reapproved a second approval request pending county Department of Health and Transportation approvals.
The Board unanimously reapproved the site plan after Al Capellini, the applicant's attorney, explained that the applicant is waiting for the DOT to approve the contract between AT&T and a contractor for the relocation of the fiber optic cable on the site.
Twenty-seven people spoke at the continuation of the DEIS public hearing, eight in support of Costco, 16 opposed, and three comments that did not appear to be either pro or con. The Board voted unanimously to close the hearing and left a 30 day period to receive written comments.
A representative of Simon Properties, owner of the JV Mall, discussed proposed amendments in the parking, landscaping and signage requirements for the regional shopping center zone that have been drafted by town staff.
Parking: The amendments would replace the existing parking requirement language, which all agreed was outdated and confusing, with the following new language: the number of required spaces would be 4.25 spaces for each 1,000 feet of gross leasable space, which it was explained, is the current industry standard. It did not make sense, the representative said, to have more spaces just to accommodate parking needs for one week a year. (For other commercial districts, the requirement would be reduced from 5 to 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. Existing problems in the Turco parking lot were cited; that lot contains fewer than the 5 spaces .) Planning Director Tegeder asked Simon to quantify what the new parking requirements would mean when compared to the existing number of spaces.
Landscaping: There was no language in the proposed amendments but there was agreement that more trees were needed. It was suggested that it could be one tree per 12 parking spaces. The size of the trees could also be specified. The JV Mall representative suggested that the trees could be planted in diamond shaped islands that would not reduce the number of parking spaces. The company has used a similar approach in the Greenburgh and Hawthorne multiplex theaters.
Signage: The Simon representative proposed submitting a "signage package" with the revised site plan. The plan would be approved by the Town Board as part of the site plan approval process and would serve as a guide to prospective tenants.
General comments: Phase I of Simon's plans will be to "turn the center inside out" and create a new façade facing Route 6 to increase visibility along the road. The existing berm along Route 6 will be modified so that the parking lot will be shielded but the stores made more viable. The revised site plan should be ready for submission shortly. Phase II, which calls for an expansion of the mall, will be considered based on the company's experience with the Phase I changes.
Simon is expected to return to the Planning Board on December 3, and, after that meeting, the matter will be returned to the Town Board for a public hearing on the proposed zoning amendments.
On a referral from the Town Board, the Planning Board discussed issuing a new Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) to the Winery. There was some confusion over when the previous TCO expired and whether the Board was looking to extend the previous TCO of issue a new one. There is no currently valid TCO.
There was some skepticism among Board members as to what the owner, who was not at the meeting, had done since the first TCO was issued and they expressed concern about the need to made the site safe and efficient. Planning Director Tegeder asked what incentive the owner had to make the changes as he is already using the site. There appeared to be a consensus on the Board to have the Planning Department send a memo to the Town Board recommending that the TCO be limited to six months instead of one year.

Synopsis:In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, colour your hair, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five….In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world, or you can just jump off it.
Nineteen Minutes is New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult's most raw, honest, and important novel yet. Told with the straightforward style for which she has become known, it asks simple questions that have no easy answers: Can your own child become a mystery to you? What does it mean to be different in our society? Is it ever okay for a victim to strike back? And who – if anyone – has the right to judge someone else?
Comments:This is the third Jodi Picoult book I have read and I was not disappointed. I love the way Jodi writes in first person, jumping from character to character and from past to present. This can be confusing for those unused to her style, but life is rarely linear and the different perspectives enhance our understanding of the story, allowing us to empathise with different characters and preventing us from pre-judging behaviour.
Nineteen Minutes is an emotional look at the lead up and aftermath of a columbine-style school shooting. Picoult, however, has her shooter survive, allowing us to explore the effect of this event on the lives of the shooter and his family as well as those of the victims. It is often easy to lay blame when such a tragedy occurs, so easy to forget that the shooters family are as much victims as anyone else.
I found this book very scary. We cannot protect our children from being bullied, and we cannot always know what they are thinking or feeling. It is frightening to think that our children could have been any one of the characters in this book – the bullies, picking on those more sensitive than themselves; the girl pretending to be someone she is not, in order to fit in; the shooter himself – and we would be none the wiser.

Remove the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility
Posted on June 17, 2020 August 21, 2020 by safesteps
Graham Perrett, Federal Labor MP has introduced a private members bill in Canberra aimed at removing the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility from the Family Law Act.
safe steps, alongside other specialist women's, family violence and legal services strongly supports the bill to promote safer outcomes for women and children navigating the family law system.
safe steps has a long and proud history of advocating for policy reform in regard to family law
Inquiry after Inquiry has recommended that the Family Law Act should be amended to urgently remove or replace the presumption of 'equal shared parental responsibility'.[1] safe steps has strongly supported this recommendation in several submissions.
About 3% of separated parents use family law courts to make parenting arrangements. These are predominantly families affected by family violence, child safety concerns and other complex issues. Even in this context, orders for a child to have no contact with one of their parents are extremely rare.[2]
The safety of victims-survivors of family violence must be front of mind when considering reform to the Australian Family Law System. The rights of children, but also gender equality and the rights of women, should be enshrined in objectives and principles.[3]
Instead of misleading rhetoric about the Family Court, what is needed is informed, compassionate decision makers who understand the many complex ways in which family violence presents, including the ways that perpetrators (the majority of whom are men), use the legal system to inflict further harm on (most often) women and children.
One victim-survivor consulted by safe steps expressed her hope that an improved decision-making framework for parenting arrangements would "look for and enable the child-focussed parent" rather than protecting perpetrators.[4]
Women's Legal Service Queensland has created a petition calling on the Prime Minister, Australian Attorney-General and Minister for Women to prioritise children's safety in family law by removing the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility from the Family Law Act.
Up to 85% of family court matters involve domestic violence. The presumption of equal shared parental responsibility (ESPR) shifts focus away from child safety, placing children at risk of further abuse. End ESPR. Sign our petition here: https://t.co/0vc8ZvbGCF pic.twitter.com/XjesMOXKwZ

You can see the problem - the ID is sent with the INSERT command, which causes it to fail (it's the autogenerated primary key). Any idea why this happens?

A: Its seen that your map is not updated . before doing any thing update your map model.
if you want to set it by code :
You can not insert a specific value into a column which the IDENTITY_INSERT property is Off.
You should set it on by this line code in sql :
SET IDENTITY_INSERT TABLENAME ON
and then Update your entity model map.
then run your application

A: I managed to solve the problem: what happened here is that SaveChanges() modified CountryList elements by setting it's ID's to those corresponding to the newly created rows in the database. In this case this is just an unwanted behavior of Entity Framework, so I have to recreate the CountryList for each call to the function, and that's it!

Hungama to offer free PRO subscription to Aircel subscribers
Riddhi Mukherjee
Hungama has tied-up with Aircel to offer its ad-free PRO service free for two months to Aircel subscribers. The PRO service, which was launched in June this year, is normally available for a subscription fee of Rs 110 per month through Google Wallet, after a 30 day free trial period. The company also offers daily, weekly and monthly plans using operator billing.
Hungama's PRO service users can stream unlimited number of music tracks and videos. They can also cache unlimited songs and videos to their phones for offline listening/viewing.
Last month, rival music streaming app Saavn had partnered with online marketplace Snapdeal.com to offer Android users making purchases through Snapdeal's mobile site free subscriptions to its premium service Saavn Pro for two months.
Earlier this year, Hungama COO Siddharth Roy had said during a TRAI seminar on regulation of OTT services (essentially Internet companies) that if consumers have a difficulty in paying for mobile data (necessary for accessing Hungama's app), the company would be willing to find ways of subsidising mobile data. The Aircel partnership seems to be a move to indirectly subsidise mobile data, though it's also a marketing/promotional effort.
Net Neutrality?
Over the past couple of years, several telcos have partnered with web services to offer free access to the service. Aircel itself had tied-up with Wikimedia Foundation to offer free access to Wikipedia on mobile phone to Aircel subscribers, in July last year. In the same month, Idea Cellular & Opera Software had partnered with Quikr to launch Sponsored Opera Web Passes that offered Idea subscribers 10 MB mobile data for 24 hours for 1 paisa & one-day Facebook or Internet access for Re 1. In May this year, India's largest telco Bharti Airtel had inked a deal with mobile messaging app WhatsApp to launch WhatsApp-only data packs.
These deals provide bandwidth and commercial consideration to certain sites or services, which is anti-net neutrality, as far as we're concerned. All sites and services should be equally accessible, the access speed at the telco/ISP level should be the same for all, and the cost for access should be uniform across sites.

ECDPM is planning to organise and facilitate an informal knowledge platform between European, African and Chinese stakeholders on sustainable private investments in African agriculture. The platform aims to strengthen mutual understanding and lesson learning as well as provide a space for trust building and enhanced international partnerships. As Africa is preparing for the AU's Year of Food Security in 2014, our long term goal is to gradually build a platform for mutually beneficial partnerships for food security and agricultural development. Ultimately, we aspire to create a forum that can help Africa respond more efficiently to its food security challenges, while also assisting public and private partners in further developing their support and contributions.

Anaxi delivers personalized activity feeds that help engineering and product management teams keep schedules on track.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With most software engineering teams overwhelmed by the volume and velocity of work, Anaxi announced today an iPhone app that delivers personalized activity feeds for software projects on Jira Cloud and Server, and GitHub. Now, users have the ability to sort the flow of information in Jira and GitHub relevant to their own needs — effectively helping them to identify the signal from the noise.
Typically, engineering teams are making constant updates in Jira to track their work developing new features, fixing bugs and handling customer requests. Sorting and prioritizing all of that information is a daily pain point for engineering and product managers who perform triage on all of that information to define priorities for their teams and keep schedules on track.
The Anaxi app lets users create dedicated feeds based on filters, such as project, milestone, sprint, component, priority or assignee so they see only the information most relevant to them. New information is highlighted in the feed so that users can immediately act on the most current information.
Anaxi, maker of project management software that helps engineering organizations increase collaboration among different teams, currently offers a free version of its app for the iPhone. The Anaxi app doesn't directly access user's data, the communication is restricted between the client (iPhone app) and the data sources (GitHub, Jira Cloud or Server). Anaxi's apps are designed to connect directly to the users' Github repositories and/or Jira projects. The feeds are built locally, and remain secure and inaccessible, even from Anaxi itself. Individual users can use the Anaxi app with no impact on other team members. Any action performed on the Anaxi app is written back on Jira and GitHub, so other team members will not see any difference.
For more information and to see examples, go to https://anaxi.com/features/iphone-app.

Home Campus Life SUMA brings people together with week-long celebration
SUMA brings people together with week-long celebration
Published by , Author: Kathryn Kinder - Rocket Contributor, Date: April 19, 2018
During the week of April 16-20, the Student Union of Multicultural Affairs (SUMA) held their Unity Week. The week that happens every year consists of different types of events, ranging from fun to more serious in nature.
On Monday the 16, there was "Painting with a Twist" in the Smith Student Center Commuter Lounge. Tuesday the 17, there were two events. The first was "Awareness of Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence" that was near the Starbucks in the Smith Student Center. The next event later that night was "Bridging the Gap" that took place at the Alumni House. Wednesday, the event held was a "Discussion with Payton Head" in Eisenberg. Thursday consisted of a powderpuff football game that was held at the Intramural Fields. The final event for Unity Week will be held on Friday, a "Cultural Showcase" on the patio outside the Smith Student Center.
"Unity Week is a week dedicated to working with different clubs inside and outside of the Office of Inclusive Excellence (OIE)," said SUMA President Jesse Nwabueze-Ogbo. "We aim to show awareness, and really showcase different activities that'll bring people together, and for a lack of a better word, Unite."
Josiah Cole, the vice president of SUMA, explained that SUMA's goal as a club is to bring people and organizations from all kinds of different backgrounds. That means racial, religious, cultural, gender identity and more.
"We want to help them find things in common, and learn to understand each other," Cole said.
Both Nwabueze-Ogbo and Cole said that being in charge of the club is, at times, challenging, but worth it in the end. They agree that having fun and bringing people together makes it that much more worth it to be a part of the club.
SUMA is a unique club on campus because they are a huge part in bringing together the SRU campus and all the different people who make up the campus.
"Everyone has their own comfort zone, which is absolutely normal and expected, but I think once we start getting even a little bit outside of that and into somebody else's world, it can really transform and improve our lives," Cole said on this being the core of SUMA.
SUMA is all about bringing the community and campus together, which is such an important goal, especially in the world today.

Q: Calling tftp get command from c source code I'm calling system command
system("tftp -m binary 192.168.1.1 -c get myfile  > /dev/null") ;

it works fine when tftp server is running but it makes my c program  crashed  when tftp server is off.
Is there a way to check  whether the server is available or not in c source code ?

A: I think your problem lies not in the availability of the server, but the fact that tftp (at least on my Ubuntu box) does not support the command-line arguments you've provided.  As a matter of fact, the only command-line argument that it does support is the name of the server.
However, you could try piping commands into tftp (simulating an interactive session), like so:
system( "echo -e \"binary\\nget myfile\\nquit\" | tftp 192.168.1.1" );

If the server isn't available, it'll time out after a few seconds and return control to your program.

A: system("echo -e \"timeout 1\\nget myfile\" | tftp 192.168.1.1");

I used timeout options instead of quit command because actual latency which makes my program watchdog reset is performing on get command execution. So quit can not prevent this.
On the otherhand I decided to call tftp command on a bash script  starting my c program.
I think  that calling tftp commad on a real time c program is faulty.
Many thanks Ethan .

Since the rise of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq has descended back to its fractured state status. The U.S. left the country in what it believed to be the capable hands of Maliki—fully expecting him to reunite factions within the state. However, rather than uniting the Shia and Sunni populations, Maliki pursued his own sectarian agenda at the expense of the country. Shunning the Sunni population from leadership, Maliki successfully threw fuel onto an already raging fire.
It was in this environment that ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) gained a stronghold. The group is made up of Sunnis, some of whom were left from Saddam Hussein's underground resistance. Deemed more violent than al Qaeda, partially because of their indiscriminate tactics and their strategic and tactical knowledge, they are actively seeking to control territory bordering Iraq and Syria—acting as a pseudo-state by imposing laws and taxation.
Last week, militants attacked and captured the city of Mosul, and have continued taking strategic cities in the north. Wednesday, the group took control of Iraq's largest oil refinery, successfully annexing one of Iraq's most important economic resources. Iraqi security forces are slowly falling by the wayside. After fighting and falling in Mosul, they finally abandoned their posts, leaving ISIS to seize and utilize key U.S. supplied weapons and vehicles including Black Hawk helicopters and over $400 million in cash. Of all supplies, the U.S. should be most concerned about anti-aircraft missiles. While other weaponry will give ISIS an edge, anti-aircraft weapons pose the largest threat, especially considering that all U.S. military plans are based on the use of air power.
In response to the ongoing attacks, the U.S. has considered a range of options for engagement, from drone strikes, to providing air security, to Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRG) forces. While these options are problematic in light of ISIS's probable control of anti-aircraft missiles, it has become all but a given that air power is all that the U.S. is willing to contribute to the situation. Although President Obama okayed the deployment of 275 troops to protect the U.S. Embassy, they were also "equipped for combat" should the need arise. It seems the U.S. is learning from its past experiences and the realization that al Qaeda cells inevitably resurface, more dispersed and driven than ever, as they have in the Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Somalia. While these threats are often more local, as is the case with ISIS, the fear is that they will, as in the past, become global if not kept in check.
Moving forward, the U.S. is hoping to gain control of the situation via an unreliable proxy—attempting to make support conditional on Maliki's outreach to Sunnis and the formation of a multi-sectarian government. Thus far, Maliki has done none of what the U.S. (and many around the world) is requesting, but is calling Sunni leaders allegedly supporting the opposition traitors and accusing them of genocide. In the wake of his stubbornness, the U.S. has been left few options. Compelled to intervene for fear of the growing ISIS threat, the Obama administration has begun contemplating a partnership with Iran. This, too, comes with its own set of caveats and potential regrets.
Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama have made no secret of their willingness to work with Iran, especially since Iran has already offered its neighbor help. Some, including Senator John McCain, find this potential partnership disturbing and ill-advised, especially in light of the historically rocky U.S.-Iranian relationship and drastically different long-term agendas. In the short term, however, cooperation may be in everyone's best interests. The IRG trained many of Iraq's militias and may be perfectly suited to partnership with its neighbor. If this becomes a reality, the U.S. could decide on its level of involvement. Granted, if a partnership with Iran does come to pass, it is clear that the U.S. will want oversight and be more than happy to take on a hands-off, managerial role. Support for a U.S.-Iranian alliance is strong in Iran, where it is believed that the union would only strengthen diplomatic relations. President Hassan Rouhani has said that many including Kurds, Shias and Sunnis are ready to sacrifice for a more inclusive and stable Iraq, and this inclusiveness may be pushing the U.S. forward.
A major stumbling block in cooperation is Iran's nuclear dream. The U.S. has clearly stated that the two issues are mutually exclusive and will remain so. Actions, however, say otherwise; Iran has been pushing for a deal that would allow for the expansion of uranium enrichment. While the U.S. and other Western states are saying that imposed limits are permanent, their willingness to engage at all shows the issues are not, in fact, separate.
If this is the price for Iranian, rather than U.S. boots on the ground, will the U.S. take the bait? There is a clear need for cooperation in the region. Allowing Iran to take the proverbial lead on the ground could be a great option, but the U.S. should proceed with caution. Giving Iran so much power may lead to unforeseen consequences, further ignite the current capabilities of ISIS and threaten U.S. lives. Americans are not prepared to enter another war. Doing so must be done carefully and strategically.
Addendum: As this article was going to post, news arose that the U.S. was pushing Maliki to step down as a condition of U.S. support. While not an official condition, the prime minister has rejected this stipulation. Note the above article does not reflect this development.

The Headless Horseman
An article by leavearly
Legend of the Black Swamp
"When the lands were wide and the fences few, uneasy was the stockman when the sun was down and his thousand charges scattered for miles around the camp fire …
"He would remember the story they were telling around Bourke … that the Headless Horseman was again haunting the plains at the Black Swamp near the border … "
From the mists of time a shadow emerged and a legend began.
We are sitting at a roadside rest area on the edge of the Hay Plains, the flattest area in the Southern Hemisphere.
Saltbush plains stretch as far as the eye can see. And here at the Black Swamp the Cobb Highway takes one of its very few bends.
We are about halfway between Deniliquin and Hay, waiting for the sunset. And anyone who has been to western New South Wales will know how spectacular they can be.
This is the heart of The Long Paddock, a 600km-plus tourist drive that pays tribute to the heritage of drovers while promoting the old stock route from Moama on the Murray River to Wilcannia to the north of Broken Hill.
It crosses five rivers – Darling, Lachlan, Murrumbidgee, Edward and Murray – and in an interesting concept uses artistic works to highlight the story of the land. I havent seen it done to this extent before.
To stop and view The Headless Horseman sculptures at the Black Swamp at sunset is one of the great outback Australian experiences.
The Headless Horseman sculptures are part of a Long Paddock series … 11 major art works and 52 information points along the route.
The Headless Horseman, created in metal by Castlemaine sculptor Geoff Hocking, is between Wanganella and Boorooban.
In the mid 19th-century drovers told stories of a headless horseman who appeared suddenly at a campsite, mounted and wearing a cloak, who would spook the animals and cause a stampede. It was said to be the ghost of a drover who died at the swamp. Yet there's more to this legend.
Ali McLean from Booligal, a good hour's drive north of the Black Swamp, is one of those involved in the Long Paddock touring route.
As the sun started to sink behind the sculpture, Ali told me the ARTback project started in 2009 to create five sculptures along the route.
It was to encourage visitors to the region and attracted 180 submissions, leaving the committee to choose the ones considered most appropriate.
The Headless Horseman sculptures stand four metres high, made from laser-cut steel with a rusty patina, and set atop three-metre long red-gum posts.
They depict a cattle drive, with two mounted drovers, cattle dogs and a separate character … the headless horseman.
The legend was perpetuated by a local butcher from nearby Moulamein, who was a small-time cattle duffer stealing from the herds camped at the swamp and selling his goods through the pubs across the district.
The Black Swamp not only hosts a legend but helped open up the plains country. A shallow basin almost one kilometre across, the swamp is covered with lignum bushes and partly fringed with black box trees. When full, the water is about waist deep.
It was thought it got its name from the dark colour of the water from decaying plant matter but early maps show a tribe of Aborigines usually camped there. This is supported by the presence of at least one large midden on the perimeter.
The Black Swamp hosted a coach changing station from 1859 when Edward Smith built a cottage as well on the low sandhill at the eastern edge of the swamp. Eventually he started the Black Swamp (Trotting Cob) Hotel that closed in 1887.
Ali tells me there is another sculpture at Ivanhoe – The Pioneers, a spectacular three-dimensional mural by Wayne Strickland that documents the history of the district.
Three sculptures at Hay started a whole new program. In the area known as Bushy Bend, on the northern eastern side of the Murrumbidgee River, you will find Lang's Crossing, Cobb's Wheels and Murrumbidgee Landscapes, all by John Wheeler.
At Pretty Pine you will find Smoko, by Geoff Hocking.
There are two works in Deniliquin, both by Jonathan Leahy … Shod, a half bullock shoe in honour of the bullock teams that carted the wool bales to a wharf for shipment. Those wharves could have been at Hay or Moama.
The other is Cut, a circular saw blade and log to honour the timber industry.
Two more artworks are in Mathoura … The Drover and Horse by Corey Thomas plus the Timber Cutters by Geoff Hocking.
In Moama, near the Kerrebee Sound Shell off the Cobb Highway, you will find The Barges, also by Geoff Hocking (2012).
Ali, from Sydney originally, tells me about life at Booligal, made famous by a Banjo Paterson poem: Hay and Hell and Booligal.
Apparently Paterson's version of Hell related to the One Tree Hotel at Ulonga, midway between Hay and Booligal.
Today it is an attraction, showing country life at its hottest, driest and flattest. While last drinks were served at the pub in 1984 it is now used as an events centre.
Ali's journey from Sydney to Booligal started with an invitation from her school friend to come out west to a rugby reunion for the Hillston Hay Cutters.
That's where she met Hamish McLean.
At Booligal they have about 28,000 acres that is a bit on the small side by outback New South Wales standards, Ali says. But they run dorper sheep on saltbush because of its drought tolerance in extreme conditions.
"The strong flavour of the saltbush gives the meat a softer taste with better marbling," Ali says, "a bit like waygu beef in that regard."
The dorper breed was developed in South Africa in the 1930s and introduced into Australia in 1996.
It is becoming one of the fastest growing sheep breeds due to their potential to adapt to the many varying climates and grazing conditions that Australia has to offer.
Dorpers were bred to produce a high quality carcass under extensive conditions, thus have the reputation of rapid weight gain, excellent carcass conformation and fantastic fat distribution.
Booligal, which means windy place, large swamp or place of flooded box trees, is on the Lachlan River and at the heart of the Long Paddock.
The term came about from graziers being able to turn their stock out onto "the long paddock" in times of drought or to take them to market.
It started with the Victorian gold rush in the mid 1800s, Ali tells me, when cattle were brought down from Queensland.
"There was no way of keeping meat fresh on the gold field in those days so they made sure there was plenty of live stock."
Today, property owners can apply to Local Land Services to use the stock route when feed is short. Yet they have to move the stock every day.
While Local Land Services controls it, the drovers themselves know when it is needed or can support it.
People have a romantic idea about droving, Ali says, such as Paterson's famous Clancy of The Overflow.
"As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing,
For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know."
But it's bloody hard work, I am reminded. You have to get the animals watered every day.
Really, the drover's life hasn't changed much since the 1870s.
THE BLACK SWAMP
The legend of the Headless Horseman arose when a drover named Doyle died at the Black Swamp in the early 1850s.
The drovers would tell of having seen the ghost of Doyle while they were camped at the swamp.
The said Doyle was riding about the camp at night on a short-legged horse – a trotting cob.
Overlanders began to dread camping there, believing sight of the apparition spelled their own doom.
Writers at the time did not state the manner of Doyle's death but the legend persevered in the form of a headless rider mounted on a trotting cob. The legend has been handed down through the years.
J.E.P Bushby's Saltbush Country tells how he would appear suddenly, mounted on a cob, a cloak wrapped around him – but without a head.
"He passed through the camp like a phantom, causing the cattle to rush and the dogs to shrink away … terror would follow … cattle, dogs, drovers all in a wild stampede."
Advantage was taken of this legend by the Moulemein butcher to augment his meat supplies.
When the bush telegraph told of the approach of a mob of "old Tyson's" cattle he would camp at the Black Swamp and await their arrival.
His technique was to throw a cloak over a wooden frame on his shoulders, giving the appearance of the stump of a neck but having no head.
He approached the resting herd at a trot, knowing that cattle on strange ground are easily spooked.
Having put the cattle on their feet he would cut off a few head, drive them into the bracken around the swamp and later drive them leisurely to slaughter, to end up on the cutting carts of Moulemein, Hay and Deniliquin.
The Horseman was wise enough to confine his duffing to small numbers so was never molested by the attention of the troopers.
These activities continued until the fencing of the runs made the movement of stock too difficult.
Charlie Lee, who drove the Deniliquin-Hay coach for years, claimed that he saw the horseman in action.
The story goes that Charlie saw the trotting cob taking its headless rider home to die.
Perhaps a fitting postscript to what is one of the finest legends in the whole outback of Australia.
