25.01.2022 SUPPORTIVE SIGNS FOR ROAD SAFETY An overhaul is needed for the way road signs are positioned around our State. Vince Catania MP Member for North West Central ...says inadequate signage is contributing to too many accidents on our regional roads. Today in Parliament he tabled a petition with 3000 signatures calling on the State Government to allow an independent, bipartisan committee look at Main Roads' signage policies and practices. #RegionalAlways Western Roads Federation, Caravan & Camping WA, Caravan & Camping Industry, Tourism Council Western Australia, RAC WA, Kimberley Pilbara Cattlemen's Association

16.01.2022 The discovery of gold across the Murchison, more often than not, meant the immediate rise of drinking posts. In Sandstone this thirst for alcohol was met by the... Brewery, constructed in 1907 by Irishman JV Kearney. Kearney chose his site atop a beautiful piece of breakaway. This elevated position allowed the beer to sink by gravity to coolers below and on to two large vats. From here the amber ale went through a huge tunnel driven into the face of the breakaway. Find the Brewery along the Sandstone Heritage Trail, accessed from the Sandstone-Leinster Road. : http://ow.ly/LdFd50yzc4U
