    Forrest’s Elbow in its original “glory”!
  • Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:
    It happened in 1947, when Jack crashed on the first day of practice at the severely downhill and adverse camber left hander leading onto Conrod Straight, known variously as The Elbow, or Devil’s Elbow. His left elbow was badly mashed, but after receiving medical clearance and having the handlebars of his Norton specially bent so he could reach the controls, Jack started in the title races on Easter Saturday. In the meantime, Harry Hinton had dubbed the corner “Forrest’s Elbow”, much to the amusement of everyone (except Jack) in the pits. In the Senior TT, Jack was soon into the lead and pulling away until his Norton expired – a heartbreaking finale to a painful weekend. But at least the name stuck, and ‘The Elbow’ has been Forrest’s Elbow ever since. www.oldbikemag.com.au/jack-forrest-man-gave-elbow-sport/

Royal Visit 1954 - Bathurst

  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Information via correspondence with a member of the public: The person holding the hand of Queen Elizabeth II is ... Louis Le Breton who was Station Master, Bathurst. The photo depicts the moment when he is introduced to her and he welcomes her to Bathurst. The Queen complemented him on how beautiful his Railway Station was kept. He had many healthy plants about the station and kept an immaculate Railway Station.
