VILLAGES Carinda Part 1
Season 3, Episode 7, Nov 18, 12:59 AM
In this Episode we hear interviews from people in Carinda NSW, Weilwan Country. This episode features stories, memories and reflections about Carinda.
Located in the heart of New South Wales, Australia, Carinda is a small remote town on the edge of the stunning Macquarie Marshes, one of Australia's largest inland wetlands, Carinda offers breathtaking natural and diverse beauty.
This episode of Outback Outloud dives into the heart of Carinda, unearthing its vibrant past and the resilience of its community. The iconic Carinda Hotel, immortalised in David Bowie's "Let's Dance" music video, stands as a testament to the town's unique history. While the bustling days of a bygone cinema may be gone, Carinda retains its warmth and character. The Far West Store, Town Hall, pub, and petrol station continue to serve the friendly locals.
A celebration of this rock and roll connection is the annual "Let's Dance Carinda Festival," drawing music lovers and residents together for a joyous weekend. The Carinda and District Race Club, established in 1915, adds to the town's rich history with its annual Picnic Races, a highlight for locals and visitors alike.

Bronko, a seasoned shearing contractor, offers a firsthand account of the sheep shearing industry's evolution, from his early days learning the trade to the impact of technological advancements and the shearing strike.
Joy and Jan share memories of their childhood in Carinda, reminiscing about the "party line" phone system – a shared line with unique ring patterns for each household, a reminder of a simpler time.
Julianne Lamph adds a touch of local poetry with her piece "Boo."
Jude, Simone, and Bec, the heart of the "Let's Dance Carinda" festival, share their insights into this community-driven event. The festival not only celebrates David Bowie's music but also honours the Carinda Hotel's unique place in Bowie's legacy.
