Dungog

I'm talking, when he was on the podcast, I'm getting messages from London, people going, oh, mate, I want to get out to that.

I think he was playing in Dungog in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, so we've got next

year, Settlers Arms.

I just, what I find is that I change clothes a lot and I stick them in the top, right? And I take my shirt off.

If I'm at a gig like I was Saturday in Dungog, you're in the middle of a paddock, and late at night I was wandering around the paddock with a torch looking for my fucking glasses.

But I found them.

They were actually still hooked to the shirt that I'd taken off.

The City of Wollongong is progressing a microbat management plan for West Dapdo Road as planning continues on infrastructure works in the area.

And Dungog Shire Council has adopted a new corporate brand, replacing a crest-style logo used since 1958.

Mayor Digby Raywood says the design reflects the shire's rivers, hills and communities, while positioning it as forward-focused.

The rebrand will roll out gradually to limit costs.

One can return via the Brandon Hill Road, the approach to which is gained through slip rails known to residents in the neighbourhood, though not perhaps too easily found by a stranger.

There was one

up at the Dungog.

round this year at the AORC or whatever they're calling it now.

AEC.

YeahAnd, uh, the pr- their preference was for people to become poor, so we just stopped building dams.

And it's l- it's lunacy because they come up with this idea that, uh, if you build a dam at Dungog at the headwaters of the Murray-Darling Basin, um, w- you know, 15, 1600 kilometers from Adelaide, that somehow that will affect the water for Adelaide, which is insanity.

It's...

They have no idea about the hydrology of how it's getting absorption.

Mm-hmm.

And, uh, back then I was president of Radio Dungog.

We're a community radio station here in Dungog.

And, uh, one day I was down at the local IGA doing a bit of shopping and my mobile phone rings.

And, uh, it's a, a lady on the phone and she's from Dolly's management.

And I'm sort of in aisle six at the Dungog IGA and I'm talking to a lady from Dolly Parton's management.

And, uh, she said, "You're in Dungog?" I said, "Yes." And she said, "You look after the local radio station, the community station?" I said, "Yes, that's right." And she said, "How would you like some double passes to give away on the radio?" And I'm there going, "Oh, gee, that, that sounds good.

Of course, we'll take that." She...

And I was really glad I did.

I, I went to a place called Dungog in the Hunter Valley, which is again, not that far from my hometown.

It's probably about an hour north of my hometown in Newcastle.

Uh, so it's about probably two and a half hours north of Sydney.

He did not, however, stay long at Grafton.

He found employment at Dungog on the Williams River, afterwards went to Scone, where he worked for a month or two, and then made his way back to Sydney.

Restive over the long delay in publication and anxious to get a critical estimate of his work, Kendall, in January eighteen sixty-two, made copies of some pieces and sent them to the Cornhill Magazine with a letter pleading for special consideration on account of the author's youth and the indifference of Australians to anything produced in their own country.

A reduced facsimile of this interesting letter is printed here.

In 1868 also, a prize was offered in Melbourne for the best Australian poem, the judge being Richard Hengist Horne, author of Orion.

Kendall sent in three poems and Horne awarded the prize to A Death in the Bush.

In an article printed in Melbourne and Sydney newspapers, he declared that the author was a true poet and that had there been three prizes, the second and third would have gone to Kendall's other poems, The Glen of Arrawatta and Dungog.

The result of winning this prize was that Kendall decided to abandon routine work and try to earn his living as a writer.

Around the grounds, boys, before we get to a break, full-time in the NRLW, the Raiders 25 have defeated the Knights 18.

And we've got a text in here from Clemo from Dungog, says, proud moment today, boys.

My youngest daughter, eight years old, Alia, she played in the halftime game for the Clarenstown Cobras in that NRL women's game today.

They played at halftime, go the Cobras.
