2011 CANOWINDRA SHOW

THINKUKNOW EDUCATION PROGRAM Cowra CWA Evening Branch is inviting parents to a FREE awareness evening at Cowra Services Club Wednesday 21 September at 6pm. This is the first program to be presented outside the metropolitan area and is essential for any parent, guardian or grandparent of children that have access to the internet, mobile phones and online games. Young people should have fun online and with mobile technologies, but should also know how to always stay in control. Just as you try to protect your child in the real world, you would also like to keep them safe in the online world. Helping to equip young people with online safety skills will help them to get the most out of the Internet and to stay in control whilst doing so. The presentation will demonstrate how young people are able to navigate the online world safely and will include information about online grooming, inappropriate content, cyber bullying, scams, fraud and identity theft. Presenters will also offer ideas on: how kids can have fun online, how to help them stay in control on the net and how to report when things go wrong. The program is aimed at adults and the presenters have asked that young people not attend. Further information is available at: www.thinkuknow.org.au ThinkUKnow is a partnership between the Australian Federal Police and Microsoft Australia.

Music is the language of us all!

Early responses to pre-release copies & performances of Dust of Uruzgan:

Fred Smith Dust of Uruzgan

Every now and then you hear a song and you think to yourself I wish Id written that Fred Smiths album Dust of Uruzgan is chock-a-block full of songs like that. Arresting, insightful and packed full of gritty detail, Fred Smiths songs bash down the doors of national understanding and conscience. If there is any justice in the world, this album will be a major hit. These songs are a clean, clear window through which we can look at our involvement in Afghanistan. And look we must. John Schumann (ex Redgum) The presence of Fred Smith over the weekend was the highlight. Why this man isn't regarded as one of Australia's best-known songwriters is beyond me. His new material based on his experiences in Afghanistan is powerful, his guitar playing is understated and his lyrics incisive, deft and challenging."Dust of Uruzgan" is the bestsince Eric Bogle's "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" or Redgums "Only 19.
