When you want a job done, ask a busy man. OTHR's President, Shane Moorhead fits that description perfectly. Shane was born and raised on a farm in Oberon. In the mid 1980's he set up Moorhead Engineering which employs 15 people and specialises in lathes and metalwork. Shane designs and manufactures machines for the timber industry and has exported his Moorhead Perfect Rounder to New Zealand and New Caledonia. Shane is a volunteer for the Angel Flight organisation and flies his Piper Cherokee 6 plane to pick up sick people in outback NSW and take them to Sydney for medical treatment. He has been an active member of the Oberon Apex Club for 15 years. In 2006 Shane was honoured with the Oberon Citizen of the Year award.
Shane is shown here with baby daughter Ellie at the very successful Father's Day celebration and opening of the OTHR restoration project at Tarana in 2005. |
