2019 Veterans Commemmorative Service
On Friday 31 May, educators from Catholic Education’s Jarara Indigenous Education Unit accompanied a large group of students to the Hyde Park ANZAC Memorial for the annual Indigenous Veterans Commemoration Ceremony around the Pool of Reflection. Conducted by the NSW Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Veterans and Services Association, the ceremony commemorated the service and sacrifice of Indigenous veterans who have fought for Australia in every major conflict since the Boer War.
The students were part of a traditional Smoking Ceremony in a beautifully serene and respectful service commemorating those veterans who were often overlooked upon their return.
Student representatives from the following schools were in attendance:
Catherine McAuley Westmead
St Clare’s Catholic High School Hassall Grove
Xavier College Llandilo
Bede Polding College South Windsor
McCarthy Catholic College Emu Plains
Nagle College Blacktown
St John Paul II Catholic College Schofields & Nirimba

Experts call time on the Lone Pine in Simpson Park, Muswellbrook
An insidious disease has taken its toll on a local icon and plans for a replacement are already underway.
The Lone Pine in Simpson Park had suffered a significant decline in health and Council Parks staff, after constantly monitoring and providing additional water and other nurturing treatments to the historic tree, sought urgent advice from an expert.
On Friday morning arborist Hugh Taylor, from Australian Tree Consultants, confirmed what Parks staff feared – the tree is dying and beyond treatment. Mr Taylor believes the sudden demise is due to Pine Wilt Nematode (Bursaphelenchus Xylophilus).
The Muswellbrook Lone Pine will be removed and existing soil replaced and sterilised by sunlight for a period of three months. Drip line irrigation will also be installed at the site in preparation for replanting.
The Lone Pine species, Pinus halepensis, is known to be initially fragile and requires considerable care to ensure the tree survives and thrives. A replacement has been sourced by the Muswellbrook RSL Sub Branch from Yarralumla Nursery in Canberra, where the seedlings are propagated.
The original Lone Pine, also known as the Aleppo Pine, was a solitary tree on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey and marked the Battle of Lone Pine in 1915. The pine was the only survivor of a group of trees cut down by Turkish soldiers who used the timber and branches to cover their trenches during the battle.
Two pine cones were brought back to Australia, one by Keith McDonald of the 23rd Battalion and the other by Lance Corporal Benjamin Smith of the 3rd Battalion, who, grieving the loss of his brother in the battle, sent the pine cone home to his mother.
The cone and its seeds were kept in a drawer for around 13 years before an attempt was made to grow some trees, of which two survived.
One was planted at the Australian War Memorial and the other at Inverell, in northern NSW. Each year seeds are carefully collected from the Lone Pine growing at the memorial to produce much sort after offspring – one of which is making its way to Muswellbrook.
✈ WWII RAAF Jet Fighter Plane--in Forbes, NSW, AUSTRALIA ✈
Here is a quick vid, made today, Wednesday, 28th March, 2012, of the WWII RAAF jet aeroplane displayed on a memorial stand in the park beside Lake Forbes, in Forbes, NSW, Australia. Plane is said to be a de Havilland Vampire.
Things must've been quite cramped for pilots, back in those days. (Although they flew fast, and probably not for too long a period.)
