1975 - MOTEL HOSTESS

Motel Manager is Mrs Theresa Lane, one of six directors of the Mid-Western Investment Company owners of the new motel. Mrs Lane is highly esteemed in the town and district and had been a leading force in the development of tourism.

Mrs Lane conducts a property, "Broadfields" for many years. She sold her property two years ago, and was on a world tour, when she was invited to join the company of district people to build the motel. Having stayed at motels in all parts of the world, Mrs. Lane has the advantage of knowing from personal experience, the requirements of holiday makers and travellers.

Mrs Lane told the Guardian that just as the goldrush era of Australia's past was served by "the ten mils Inns", her company will be keen to see that the Ten Dollar Motel now continues this tradition of hospitality for the weary traveller.

"With the old Royal Hotel restored and updated and the 20 fine units providing the very best in accommodation and amenities, we, at the Ten Dollar Motel, will be able to give a high standard in tourist accommodation, providing visitors every opportunity to enjoy their visit to our town and district," Mrs Lane said.
