Truck Brekky Form Success: Heavy vehicle safety was under the spotlight recently at a breakfast forum hosted by Parkes, Forbes and Lachlan Shire Councils. Over 60 participants attended the fourth annual Central West NSW Heavy Vehicle Breakfast Forum, to explore the current road safety and freight issues affecting the local heavy vehicle industry. The Councils’ Road Safety and Injury Prevention Officer, Melanie Suitor, says the forum has become a
regular fixture on the road safety calendar. “Events like this forum are essential in providing opportunities to share information, network and discuss local issues,” she said.

Smoke, Rust and Noise! Parkes and District Historical Society will be hosting their annual Smoke, Rust and Noise day this Saturday from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

In November the small train was ran for the first time in 25 years and will be tearing up the track once again on Saturday. Charity money this year will go towards the educational side of the museum collection. Make your way to the Henry Parkes Museum and explore the tractors and small engines at a ticket cost of only $5 for adults before enjoying a BBQ lunch at 12.30pm for only $6.
