According to artist Marissa Lico the messier and aloof the artwork, the better, and that is the message she will deliver to her Dubbo audience when she visits.

Hang onto your books. That's the message going out from the organisers of the the Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair after a bumper drop off day recently saw roughly 9300 books donated. So anybody who has books to hand is being asked to wait until the day before the book fair, April 30, to drop off books at the Centenary Pavilion at Dubbo Showground. The book fair will be held in the pavilion on May 1 and 2.

As the weather heats, think about a day out for a picnic and dip. In Dubbo take yourself down to the Macquarie Rive for a swim, a paddle (thinking kayaking/canoeing here) or to just sit in the shade under a tree and throw in a fishing line. Further afield try Flat Rock (near O'Connell, off Mutton Falls Road at the Fish River) or Clarence Dam (or Dam Cliffs) - a free swimming hole that is both deep and cool (Chifley Road, east of Lithgow). Grove Creek, a hour's drive south of Bathurst, is worth the drive after recent rain, but make sure you swim away from Grove Creek Falls. Wallaby Rocks on the Turon River west of the village of Sofala is lovely, but doesn't have facilities so you'll need to pack for that. Lake Canobolas, has plenty to entertain (including flying foxes for the kids) as well as water to muck around in. Pack a bike and try out the 3km circuit around the lake or the mountain bike trails nearby.

Thinking of hitting the road for a camping holiday this year? A lot of people are and there are some great locations in the Central West and (way) beyond. You can start in Dubbo with visits to the Farmers Markets, Taronga Western Plains Zoo and the city's historic streets. Then hit the road heading west. Visit Silverton, Wilcannia and Walgett (try the thermal artesian bore baths), look at fish traps in Brewarrina and paddle boat in Bourke. The entire trail is 930km following the Darling River. Should take six days or so (depending on how much you linger longer). Don't forget to back the mosquito repellent and the sunscreen.
