Welcome
Emma
The Committee has worked tirelessly to develop
a 5 day event that will provide entertainment and
family activities and most of all, a taste of Leeton’s
hospitality.
Once again the Leeton community has rallied
behind the SunRice Festival with five Ambassadors
being supported for the 2014 event.
Jane is 24 years old and has lived in Leeton all
of her life. Completing her education, Jane gained
employment in the retail sector whilst also studying
Business Administration. Currently Jane is employed
by SunRice, working in Information Services on the
Help Desk.
The commitment shown by the Festival
Committee and the sponsoring organisations for
the Ambassadors is to be commended. These
people give up their valuable time to enhance and
enrich the broader community of Leeton Shire.
I hope that you enjoy your Leeton SunRice
Festival experience and look forward to seeing you
again in 2016.

Julie is currently employed by SunRice and is
actively involved in the Phantoms Rugby Club of
which she is representing in the SunRice festival.
She and her committee are fundraising for the Rural

over the years, which often goes unnoticed.
Coming from a Pacific Island background she

This year we will have something different to
entertain and educate locals and visitors alike.
Alan Hocking well known chain saw sculptor will
be demonstrating his incredible talent of taking a
log of raw timber that most of us would see as just
fuel for the fire. But Alan can see birds, animals or
even a piece of furniture. With a roar, his chain saw
comes to life and with a few deft strokes a piece of
art takes shape. During the day these articles will
be available for purchase. He will also be running a
short workshop on chainsaw sculpting. This will be
enough to put you on the road to a new artistic hobby
and perhaps a new source of income. Make sure you
don’t miss this event. Go up to Allen and say hello,
He’s a real nice guy and will be only too happy to
answers your questions.

Historic Hydro Motor Inn
Roxy Theatre
Built in 1919 to house the executives who came
to build the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, this
historic building still operates as a hotel. Boasting
25 comfortable accommodation rooms and the very
popular Freckled Duck Bar & Restaurant, the Historic
Hydro is well worth a visit.
One of the few theatres still operating in NSW for
the purpose in which it was built, the Roxy Theatre is
of particular historical interest due to its continued
function as a cultural, social and entertainment
venue, not to mention the amazing Art Deco style
of architecture.

Leeton Art Deco Features
35 buildings have been listed on the Australian
Institute of Architects’ register of significant 20th
century buildings, including buildings such as the
landmark Roxy Theatre which has been screening
movies since 1930. The centerpieces of the town’s
Art Deco features are the water towers which were
designed by noted architect Walter Burley Griffin,
who also designed the layout of the town centre.
Also heritage listed is the Historic Hydro, a Spanish
Mission-style building built in 1919 to house the
Managers of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.
A Heritage Trails booklet containing information
on individual buildings and a map is available at the
Leeton Visitor Information Centre.
