25.01.2022 If you are unhappy about SurfingWA's proposal to build its HQ at Trigg Beach and you live in the City of Stirling you might like to sign this petition and share this post.

23.01.2022 Happy first day of spring! What could say spring more than going on a walk in local bushland and meeting new friendly faces. From Sunday, the Friends of Ing...lewood Triangle are offering their first ever program of free Spring guided walks to raise awareness of the unique value of hidden gem and to recruit volunteers to assist in caring for it. The first walk is on this Sunday 6th September and bookings can be made through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/friends-of-inglewood-triang As Member for Mount Lawley, I am proud to join Member for Maylands Lisa Baker MLA in supporting the Friends of Inglewood Triangle, who have been volunteering for over 10 years to restore this special patch of bushland in the heart of Inglewood.

22.01.2022 This isn’t something to brag about. This project undermines all the good environmental work your government has done. The clearing of 30ha of Bush Forever 325, the destruction of two-thirds of the 3km Abalone reef, 900m of limestone cliffs and our natural beach.

17.01.2022 It's action time for turtle conservation! With the nesting season about to begin, our endangered native southwestern snake-necked turtles once again need your c...rucial support. We're starting this year's "TURTLE TRACKERS" volunteer program with the City of Cockburn and in partnership with Murdoch University, DBCA and Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia From this September up to January 2021, you can walk the fringes of Bibra Lake providing much-needed observation, support, nest-protection, and research activities which will hopefully save scores of our mumma and baby turtles. If you would like to be a part of these conservation efforts, please register your interest by contacting 9411 3444 or email [email protected]. Training will take place from 6pm until 7pm on Thursday 27th August at The Wetlands Centre Cockburn. And please, do keep an eye out for these precious creatures while driving around our lakes.

16.01.2022 Carnaby's pair mating - 8.22am, 1 August 2020 just outside Underwood Bushland in the Cancer Council bushland. It took about 30 seconds then I believe that they both flew off, although I didn’t see the female go. Marg Owen

16.01.2022 Save Ocean Reef urgently needs your help. Clearing Permit CPS 8947/1 has been granted by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER). This will see the clearing of 30ha of Bush Forever 325, the destruction of two-thirds of the 3km Abalone reef, 900m of limestone cliffs and our natural beach. This will also significantly reduce the scenic shared path used by up to 1,000 people each day. You only have until 11:59pm 30 October, 2020 to take action on appealing this permit.

Insects are our little workers, pollinating, composting, food chain! How can we look after them? What are the effects of fire, light and weeds? Why do we need to know what insects are around?

15.01.2022 Carnaby's flew into Bold Park this misty morning. They stayed an hour around Camel Lake in Bold Park, then another hour further up the dune and were heading south along Bold Park. Marg Owen

13.01.2022 Shameful actions

12.01.2022 The City of Wanneroo Council is considering a Business Case for the re-development of the former Quinns Rocks Caravan Park. While the residents don't have a problem with using the existing footprint of the old caravan park 1.9Ha, there is a huge concern with removing existing bush forever by a further 2.4Ha. No definitive plan has been given of which parts of the bushland will be cleared. The existing foreshore along Quinns Rocks and Mindarie has been eroding for a long time... and this particular piece of land is the last remaining coastal bushland left. Attend the Briefing Session 6pm, 15 Sep 2020 to ask your question and the Ordinary Council 7:00pm, 25 Aug 2020. You can also send your elected members emails to raise your concern https://www.wanneroo.wa.gov.au/councillors See more

11.01.2022 Underwood Bushland Grey Fantail John Gould noted of the Grey Fantail ‘While in the air it often assumes a number of lively and beautiful positions, at one moment almost mounting perpendicularly, constantly spreading out its tail to the full extent, and frequently tumbling completely over in descent.’... The purpose of this activity is to disturb flying insects, that form a large part of its diet. Unlike secretive birds or birds high in the canopy, the Grey Fantail often seems either curious or cranky as it flies at an interloper. In the Field Guide to Birds of Australia Pizzey notes of the Grey Fantail’s voice when breeding ‘tinny, but sweet animated song of fiddle-like see-saw character, usually ascending, often ending in several drawn-out notes of silvery quality; surprisingly loud, prominent in dawn chorus.’ This pair was actively moving around together, surely looking to spring and breeding.

09.01.2022 The Friends of the Gelorup Corridor EST 1995 have created this really powerful and beautiful video that describes the impact the construction of the Bunbury Outer Ring Road southern alignment would have on this wonderful bushland. #StopTheDamagePremier https://youtu.be/7A1xiI1w7f8

05.01.2022 BEWITCHED BY PERTH In 1921, people in the Eastern States often had a mental picture of Perth as a sandy little town, on a pleasant river known as the Swan. So... when they actually visited, they were in for a great and wonderful surprise. L.V.B of the ‘Age’ newspaper in Melbourne, quickly fell under Perth’s spell. Perth is a wonderful and very beautiful city he raved, endowed by nature and man, with glories which nothing but a vast earthquake or communal madness can destroy. From the high roads of King’s Park at sunset, he described the view as even more beautiful than Sydney Harbour. Men rave of the fascinating vistas of loveliness which Sydney Harbour perpetually offers to an admiring world; but to me no thing is more beautiful of its kind, than the view of Perth at sunset from King’s Park, which is not the least of the seven wonders of Australasia. Across the mile wide Swan River, the city with its towers and high buildings in St George’s Terrace, gleams in the glow of the dying sun - like a fairy city in an Arabian Nights story. While in the far distance, the blue slopes of the Darling Ranges suggest unfathomable mystery and soothe the spirit with thoughts of a peace which passeth man’s understanding. Below at the foot of wooded cliffs, sparkles the deep waters of the River Swan, "whose glittering bosom reflects the beauties of a Neapolitan sky. Behind the great park, "flowering gums, bush and native flora and fauna preserved for all time. Then as night falls, L.V.B describes the city lights gradually stretching along the water front and running out to the suburbs. Creating another "imperishable memory". And the south-west wind (the Fremantle doctor) coming through. Bringing with it, its own medicine and making all things new after a hot day. Can you remember a time when you were enchanted by the beauty of Western Australia? Where were you? Share your memories and photographs. These images from the State Library of WA's collection are of King's Park in the early 1920's, from near where L.V.B stood. For many thousands of years prior to his visit, Aboriginal people had been visiting Kings Park, land known as Mooro Katta or Kaarta-Gar-up in the Noongar culture. It remains today an important ceremonial and cultural place for the Indigenous people of WA.

It provides an insight into the event at the time but is not intended to be a definitive history.
