04.01.2022 I am delighted to learn that an engineering assessment of the condition of Western Australia's unused Tier 3 rail lines will be commissioned by the McGowan Gove...rnment. I am a long-term campaigner for the re-establishment of freight on rail in regional Western Australia and last month met with the Rail, Tram and Bus Union WA Branch (RBTUWA) state secretary Craig McKinley. The RBTUWA, along with stakeholders such as the Wheatbelt Railway Retention Alliance, has done a fantastic job in pushing the Government to match its words to action through the announcement of this assessment. As recently as last year I tabled a petition to WA Parliament in August 2019 with over 3,000 signatures calling for the reopening of Tier 3 rail lines. We know that rail is good for the regions and makes roads and travel safer for tourists and residents, it decreases the costs associated with road maintenance and brings work crews into regional towns. It is my hope that an engineering assessment will provide the government with ample justification to support the recovery of these lines from a negligent operator and begin the regeneration of regional rail infrastructure.

04.01.2022 An excellent exhibition, which would tie in nicely with coming to our LKBHPA meeting - Gomm Park Hall, 2pm Saturday :)

02.01.2022 Kalgan Creatives: This will be the first year of our local mini 'Art-Trail'. Artists from the Kalgan/Lower King area are supporting the exhibition, with many major Art and Craft works, and also smaller items e.g cards and prints. Great opportunity for Christmas shopping! :)

01.01.2022 MONSTER SWELL WARNING FROM AUTHORITIES "Please don't go near the beach or on the rocks today or tomorrow. We don't want our volunteers put in danger". The So...uth coast is set for a battering today, with swells up to 10 metres. There's some concerns from authorities that some might try to brave the conditions to surf or go fishing. Daniel Pell, the District Manager for marine in the Lower South West and Great Southern. "It's not very often we get a forecast of up to 10 metre swell and up to 50 knot winds off shore," he said.
