A little slice of history came to the Coonamble Cannonball on Sunday 15 June in the form of a badge.
Builder Garrett Mooy brought his great, great grandfather Cornelius Mooy's Coonamble Jockey Club membership badge from 1909.
Cornelius Mooy moved to Coonamble in 1890, along with his two brothers Rolef and Jacob and their mother Classje.
The family had emigrated to Australia in 1857 and moved to Mudgee where Cornelius and two sisters Katrina and Johanna were born.
