Media 2022

The following are references to Greens-related media items pertaining to the Riverina - Burrinjuck area of south-western New South Wales, beginning in February 2022, though with some useful earlier references. I live in Murrumburrah, which is part of the federal seat of Riverina, the State seat of Cootamundra and the local government area of Hilltops Regional Council. It is covered by the Burrinjuck Greens and the Riverina Greens groups, with some overlap also with the Central West and Queanbeyan Greens. The federal seat of Riverina extends north to Forbes, west beyond West Wyalong, south to Wagga Wagga and Lockhart and east to Cowra, Harden and Gundagai. Below is a list of relevant media outlets, followed by specific media references arranged chronologically, with the most recent at the top.

Photograph: Cindy Gough Stalnaker. One of only three known photographs of Beck and Page on stage together sharing lead guitar duties. This is the clearest, and in colour. Two others are known from a Fillmore West performance the following day. One of the most exciting and innovative British rhythm 'n blues / rock / pop band lineups of the 1960s involved the brief, six month-long pairing of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page in the Yardbirds. This short-lived collaboration took place between late June and early November of 1966. Unfortunately, there are no live recordings of the two legendary guitarists interacting on stage together, with Beck wielding a classic '59 sunburst Gibson Les Paul and Page the famous '58 / '59 Fender 'Dragon' Telecaster give
