Jessica Storm: I love the series Pretty Little Liars.
Ilona Chignell: I can watch the movie Titanic over and over again.
Willa Thornton: I love Bluey.
Brax Nash: I want to learn why it is important to keep our earth safe and rubbish free. I think we need to look after our environment so we don’t cut down trees and make birds lose their homes.
Aidan McTiernan: I want to learn how to be friendly to the environment and how to protect it.
Charlotte Ballantyne: I want to learn more about the environment and hope to also get some ideas and inspiration for ecological art, which I enjoy making for fun. I would like to make an animal or even a poster.

Rose Jones: It opens up a whole new world of Wiradjuri culture and history that should’ve been taught in schools years ago. It is a great step forward to create better understanding.
Kevin Bloomsfield: I love the exhibition. It will create more cultural awareness in our community and for visitors.
Amanda Corcoran: It is a visual presentation of Wiradjuri culture that will help to share it with the non-indigenous community to broaden understanding.
Fleur Wells at ProVision Optometrists: Any prejudice for anyone who isn’t accepted for many reasons.
Colleen Smart at Francene’s Craft: Mental Health is a real concern with recent floods and COVID. Everyone should be equal, period.
Debbie Prior at The Book Dispensary: Mental Health touches everyone in one way or another, we should all remember this.
Sue Henry: It is a good idea. I know people in Forbes, and it is also good to know what is happening over there. I no longer buy the paper so it is good to pick up one publication with all the news in it.
Jenny Short: It is a great idea, and good for resource sharing. I worked in Forbes many years ago and it will be good for people from Parkes to go over to events and activities in Forbes and vice versa.
Sue Ridley: I like it, and we are close enough to go over to Forbes if there is something interesting happening, and for Forbes people to come here.

Chloe: I have two guinea pigs and they are very cute. They are called Zulu and Pippa.
Elvie Collins: My garden – I love growing things and it is good exercise and very rewarding, especially planting flowers.
Rita Carpenter: I love to crochet, especially blankets and knee rugs. I find it very relaxing and it keeps my mind occupied. I’ve been doing it from a young age when my grandma taught me.
Trish Davies: My favourite possession is my car. I can’t do without it. I’ve had a Mazda for the past four years and love driving it out of town to visit friends.
