Representation | 
1974 | 1973 AG-QUIP # 1
1974 AG-QUIP # 2 Second successive year organised by 2MO Gunnedah & 2TM Tamworth radio network. Current Accounts January 1975 Pg 28 included the above in report by WO (Bill) Shearman then Manager Gunnedah who attended 1974 AG-QUIP together with 5 other CBC Managers and CAGA Tamworth Manager and Assistant.
1975 Frank Maundrell says: This photo of our Ag-Quip site is reproduced from Current Accounts, January, 1976 and is of the site at the 1975 event. Staff in the photo are not identified. Ag-Quip was (and still is) a major exhibition of rural machinery and services held annually at Gunnedah, NSW in August. I don't know the commencing dates of either Ag-Quip itself or the CBC participation. I know it became the major activity of CBC North West Region and was continued under NAB, at least until the Districts were disbanded. |

Photo 5 side view with residence. Frank also advised: "Anyway, fortunately an elderly lady happened by and spoke to us. She went on to tell me about the Telegraph Hotel and Caxton House. She now lives in Caxton House. I was sorry not to have more time available to talk to her in greater depth. She told me about an old friend of hers, still alive and living in Gunning, who was a daughter of the Manager when 103 Yass Street was built in the 1930's. She had lived in both buildings! I have spoken to similar elderly people at other towns and they are often a great source of information. They usually love talking about their town. I was so pleased to hear the information and get some more photos, I forgot to ask the name of the old Manager and his daughter! It only occurred to me when it was too late. C'est la vie! Being there now, it is hard to imagine what it was like, only a few years ago, when the main street was the Hume Highway!" |
