Gates From Australia Hall Find New Parkes Home
Ornamental gates once gracing the Australia Hall at Orange have moved to Parkes. Hand-wrought in 1886 by R Venables of Orange for a hall built by Irish enthusiasts after a raid by Redmonds in the early era, the gates later served as a picture theatre feature before removal. Venables, now in Parkes, repurchased them on a visit to Orange and brought them to Parkes. A Berlin inventor has devised a new way to fell timber using a sink steel wire looped about the tree and driven by an electric motor, burning a channel through wood quickly. A 20-inch diameter tree can be felled in about six minutes with a thin chalk-marked charred butt and minimal visible defects.
