2016 Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council - River Festival.
The River Festival is a fun-filled day of free activities for all age groups, bringing together the community and visitors to celebrate our river.
Held in the picturesque setting of Ray Morton Park, on the banks of the Queanbeyan River, this year the event incorporated:
the QPRC Enviro Expo; Walking on Water sessions for kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and tug-o-war; inflatable water balls;
a jumping castle; face painting; fantastic art and craft activities for the children; workshops for lantern making, build your own insect hotel and art journalling... and lots, lots more including the Clearwater Sculpture Prize and exhibition and great local food stalls.

The event for the afternoon of May 25, reflexive fire, presented a chance for the Soldiers to try their shooting skills again. After practicing first with an empty M4 rifle, competitors shot twice at a target from 25, 15, 10 and five feet away, facing left, front and right each time.
Technically called close-combat marksmanship, it’s a technique special forces have practiced for years to effectively react to and engage an enemy – hence the name “reflexive fire,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Wayne LaClair, of Camp Casey, located in Area 1 of South Korea. LaClair served as the observer-controller in charge of range events during the competition.
“It teaches you to instinctively ID your target, aim and shoot in what we call ‘controlled pairs’ [two shots] to down the target,” he explained. “It teaches muscle memory, just like athletes. It also cuts down on civilian casualties because they have to identify the target before raising their weapon.”
It’s an important skill for Soldiers, he added, and as far as the Best Warrior Competition, a difficult event because competitors can lose points for neglecting details like not properly charging their weapon. He encouraged the competitors to build the muscle memory and practice the skill as they develop as Soldiers.
