19.01.2022 These wonderful calico dolls, stitched so skillfully by the Chittering-Bindoon CWA group, are on their way to the Perth Children's Hospital. Known as 'surgical ...dolls', they are used in hospitals to assist staff in chatting with children about where on their body their surgery will be - a great practical way to assist families whose children are soon to undergo surgery!

16.01.2022 Recently I heard someone I admire say something very dismissive and sarcastic about how lovely it would be if only scones could save the world. The implication ...being that baking is far less important than actual political action and meaningful debate. That may be partly true. But I’d like to take a moment to stand up for scones. They’re cheap and simple and this round version is categorically Australian. They bind the Country Women’s Association together, which in turn has networked and supported rural Australian women for almost a century. They’re great for afternoon or morning tea, which represents a break in your day to stop, drink tea, nibble a scone with jam (or lemon curd) and breathe. And I think that perhaps baking a batch of scones shouldn’t necessarily be seen as non political. My goodness we are saturated in capitalism and surrounded by commercialism and told every day to devalue the domestic (because it is female) and so dammit I will go and make scones and feel powerful doing so. Not only can we transform basic ingredients into something delicious, no one can tell us what is meaningful and purposeful, we figure that out all by ourselves. Scone baking as revolution. 3 cups self raising flour + 80gm butter + 1 cup milk. Mix, not too heavy handed (my grandma used a knife), roll and cut, then bake hot, 200 degrees, 20 mins. Teach your daughters and your sons and maybe just maybe scones can save the world, or, at least, mine. See more

06.01.2022 Did you know that a total of 932 million hours was volunteered during 2016?? Are you a Volunteer that is motivated to volunteer as it allows them to give someth...ing back to the community?? Regardless of why you volunteer, this certainly follows the ethos of CWA in bridging the gap, lending a shoulder, rolling up the shirt sleeves and rubbing in some elbow grease :D This week we salute you and pay tribute to your dedication and contribution to our CWA Network (both locally, statewide and Nationally), through our charitable work with the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) - THankyou!
