ALSO MAKING NEWS IN THE EASTERN RIVERINA:
WITH an Akubra hat, rail memorabilia and Hansard it's not hard to guess who is the subject of the Riverina's newest gallery.
Tim Fischer, former deputy prime minister and "all round good fellow" according to Lockhart mayor Rodger Schirmer, was thrilled to be on hand as a wing in his honour was opened yesterday.
The Tim Fischer AC Gallery is part of an extension of Lockhart's Greens Gunyah Museum into the neighbouring former Billabong Motors showroom and garage.
Deputy Prime Minister and Nationals leader Michael McCormack joined Mr Fischer in cutting a ribbon to officially open the gallery.
"There's a couple of initials after Tim Fischer's name and it's AC, now that is the highest honour that anyone in Australia can achieve," Mr McCormack told those gathered for the occasion.
"But AC to me for Tim Fischer stands for a champion, it stands for a colossus, it stands for a character.
"There's no greater Australian, ladies and gentlemen boys and girls, than Tim Fischer, no greater Australian."
