PERTH CBD has lost out on WA Day celebrations after organisers didn’t get the cash they wanted from Perth city council.

The major events will return to Burswood Park where they took place in 2019.

Perth council had a chance to nab the big June 6 and 7 events but organisers Celebrate WA wanted $500,000 in sponsorship and the council was only willing to contribute $150,000 (“WA Day ultimatum,” Voice, April

17, 2021). The $500,000 would be

almost double what the council spends on both Perth Festival and Fringe World, which bring people into the city across a month each rather than just the two days of WA Day.

Fringe and the Perth Festival also bring in more people to eat and shop in the city: 355,000 and 325,000 respectively, compared to WA Day’s projected 130,000.

The return to Burswood was announced by Celebrate WA chair Michael Anghie, whose wife Sandy

WA Day heads to BurswoodAnghie is Perth deputy mayor (she had to step out of the chamber while the council voted, along with lord mayor Basil Zempilas whose SevenWest boss Maryna Fewster is on the board, and Cr Brent Fleeton whose day job is working

for the company handling PR for Celebrate WA).

The cancelled Perth possibility wasn’t mentioned but Mr Anghie said “we look forward to putting on the events that are loved by Western Australians and giving them

a good reason to get out and about to enjoy their special long weekend” after a tough year that saw the 2020 event cancelled.

Burswood Park Board GM Linda Kut was ecstatic about retaining the event, calling it “a highlight of

Burswood Park’s busy events calendar.

“The 2019 event was a terrific success, with tens of thousands of Western Australians of all ages and walks of life enjoying the celebrations in our beautiful parklands.”

BEWARE cracked footpaths or uneven paving: Vincent council won’t accept liability for injuries unless they’ve previously been warned about specific problem spots.

Vincent resident Chris O’Connor reckons locals should start reporting every trip hotspot after his experience of being palmed off when he had a fall on a hazardous stretch near the corner of Vincent and Fitzgerald Streets.

“Where do you stand if you happen to fall?” he pondered in response to his fall last year.

“Interestingly enough, on your own and apparently 100 per cent responsible.”

Mr O’Connor says Vincent administration were lovely and helpful when he contacted them about the fall, but after that he hit a dead end.

“My still-to-be resolved resultant shoulder injury necessitated my putting in an insurance claim that was rejected by the City of Vincent, using the Civil Liability Act 2002, which provides protection to councils based on the premise that if they didn’t know about the footpath hazard, then they cannot be held responsible for any resultant injuries.

“On that basis, I have since sent notifications to the Council of approximately 18 potential footpath hazards, with photos and addresses, which have unsurprisingly solicited an immediate response in fixing each problem.

“The council’s stated preference for reacting to these footpath issues after public notification, in my case after falling and injuring myself ‚Äî collateral damage I guess ‚Äî does need to be balanced with a more proactive monitoring and maintenance of those footpaths by the council.

“Until then, I suggest we all

• Chris O’Connor’s had 18 footpaths fixed so far after learning Vincent council only fixes what’s reported. Photo by David Bell

notify the council of potential footpath trip hazards. They will react!”

Mr O’Connor was told by Vincent staff that they currently review footpaths once every three years and the council seemed happy with that level of service.

Mr O’Connor, 68, says his main concern now is for folk who aren’t as sturdy and might suffer a worse injury.

The council’s upcoming draft Accessible City Strategy aims to make the town more walkable

Cold shoulder

for everyone but lists no change to the three year checks.

Mayor Emma Cole tells us “every year, we invest in Vincent’s footpaths and our various teams, from parks to engineering and rangers, proactively and regularly report damaged footpaths. Our community members also help us by reporting issues they find.

“This financial year, we are spending $200,000 on footpath renewal and last financial year we spent $380,000 on footpath and cycle way maintenance.

PERTH’S two biggest greyhound races – the annual Perth Cup and

the Galaxy – have again seen stewards stand down dogs due to injuries. Is it really worth betting on such animal suffering?

The dogs were competing in seven and eight-dog races, because Racing and Wagering WA has failed to introduce six-dog fields as per industry-funded research (2017). This shows smaller fields significantly reduce injuries due to less track congestion, especially at turns.

Six-dog racing is the norm in the UK and South Australia, but clearly betting revenue is more important than greyhound welfare in WA, despite RWWA’s claims to the contrary.

No-one would risk their pet dog like this, so why greyhounds?

SATURDAY April 17 saw the finals for Perth’s two

biggest greyhound racing events, with dogs injured in four races and one forced to compete with an existing leg puncture wound. Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds president Dennis Anderson says we need to stop betting on cruelty.

THANK you for your lead article highlighting an important cultural and heritage issue for Maylands and indeed, for WA.

However, it’s unfortunate that the “tea wars” angle on proposals to convert the Peninsula teahouse portrays Maylands residents and others in a squabble that we don’t need or want to have.

Everyone has a right to express her or his points of view.

I understand that a key issue underlying the WA National Trust’s proposal is lack of funds to complete its restoration of Tranby House.

Their plan to address the problem neglected to first consult residents, wildlife and urban bushland experts and other important stakeholders.

I am a Maylands resident who supports retaining and renovating the Peninsula Teahouse building. It is seriously run down.

A liquor license combined with extended trading hours are

totally unsuited to the tranquil residential location.

I walk by Tranby House several times a week. Before the Peninsula Teahouse closed it was well attended by local families, cyclists, kayakers and various groups. Its festive high teas for special occasions (byo alcohol) were booked months ahead.

It nestles by Tranby House/ museum, which attracts tourist buses, school groups and other visitors. The teahouse is not a heritage building, it is a converted caretaker’s cottage styled in keeping with Tranby House.

Tasteful renovation, new furniture and improved kitchen facilities will enable the tea house to be better utilised.

The lessees will improve online ratings by providing a wider range of fine foods, fresh produce and speedy service.

Holes to anchor the removable umbrellas shading tables on the bricked area beyond the oak tree will prevent them blowing over.

I see no need to pave the rectangle containing the old oak tree, or extend cover beneath its branches.

The cafe could provide a niche outlet for quality local and WA art and craft work. Information on hand about the traditional custodians of country, settlement times and later history and ecology of the peninsula would enrich customers’ knowledge of place.

Aboriginal people lived and raised their children along the Derryl Yerrigan for countless years, employing land use practices in balance with nature.

Speaking truth about the whole of colonial history and including Aboriginal people’s perspectives and stories is an essential part of WA’s reconciliation journey.

We are told that the traditional custodians of the land have been consulted.

In the spirit of respect and reconciliation I hope that we will soon hear their views.

Helen OxnamHardey Rd, Maylands

Work it out over a cuppa

Meanwhile, Perth Cup sponsor Sky Racing contributes nothing to greyhound welfare, nor does its parent company Tabcorp. All they care about is the betting revenue and so do governments.

That’s why in 2018, the WA government gave the dog racing industry $19.1 million. In 2019 it was $19.8 million and in 2020, this was raised by $2.3 million.

Given the racing industry

upped its revenue during Covid there’s no reason to give taxpayer dollars to this cruel industry.

Reform is not difficult. The Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds has a five-point plan for greyhound welfare: safer racing, whole-of-life tracking for greyhounds, a reduction in breeding, funding of sanctuaries and increased penalties for mistreatment.

A HISTORY of London Court was launched over Heritage Weekend telling the swank arcade’s 85-year life story.

Local history non-profit Museum of Perth recently branched out into a vacant shop there and set up the volunteer-run London Court Books.

Volunteer Nicki Blake set about writing the court’s history, delving into archives to discover the lengths founder Claude de Bernales went to in order to find specialist artisans to build it: “The project managers were incredibly lucky to find, living in North Perth, an expert on 15th century wood-carving — Edward G Madeley — to carve the window-boxes from local

PERTH council planners have objected to the huge number of car bays at a tower proposed for Elizabeth Quay, not wanting a supposed pedestrian precinct to become a motorway.

The state government’s planning superbody DevelopmentWA gets the final say.

The Barnett government instituted a limit of 0.7 car bays per apartment at Elizabeth Quay towers but under Labor there’s already been developments go through far in excess that’ll add hundreds of extra bays to the quay (“Car Quay,” Voice, March 27 2021).

A new design by Element for Lot 4 wants a total of 204 bays for 168 apartments, blowing past the 0.7 limit to 1.2. There’ll also be 90 bays for office tenants instead of the 67 Barnett’s planner’s envisioned when laying out the rules.

The developer argues the bays are needed to make the project viable because the wealthy residents will want to own cars.

City of Perth planning staff advised councillors to stand firm over the limit and tell the richies to take the bus, train, or ferry.

Their report says the limit should be heeded given “the increased traffic likely to be generated by other developments located adjacent ... and the high accessibility of the site via alternative means of transport”.

Councillors will decide whether to kick up a fuss over the parking blowout at the upcoming April 27 council meeting, and their recommendation then gets passed on to DevelopmentWA.

The state-appointed commissioners approved the last big car-friendly tower in mid-2020, with chair commissioner Andrew Hammond saying they needed to support development during Covid.

A CAUTIOUS operation has seen the Maylands swan mosaic removed for preservation.

The swan was installed at Maylands Waterland to mark 1979’s “WAY 79”, the 150th year since the founding of the Swan River Colony. The sesquicentennial swan was ubiquitous back then and ended up on a swag of cultural items including coasters, ash trays, tea towels, bottle openers, and a massive one made up the tiling of Waterland’s largest pool.

Back in 2019 just before Waterland was decommissioned, Bayswater councillor Catherine Ehrhardt moved they preserve the swan so it could later be mounted.

Cr Ehrhardt reports the swan was carefully removed in two pieces to reduce the risk of cracking, and it’ll be reinstalled at the new replacement water park later this year.

Stage one of the $3.5 million replacement Waterland is on scheduled to be open by November 2021 with a splash pad, water creek, wading pool, play areas and picnic and barbecue spots, while stage two with its bigger leisure pool is still a ways off and would need another $3.7m to fund it. Bayswater council’s looking for state or federal funding before diving in.

A SCHEME amendment is underway to prevent any housing development on a Maylands peninsula park.

The park and small lake between Maylands Brickworks and Peninsula Road is owned by Bayswater council but is currently zoned “medium and high density residential”.

The residential zoning came as a surprise to many locals when it was discovered a couple years back while plans for the future of the brickworks precinct were considered. It was left open to future housing by its former owner Stirling council when the Peninsula Estate housing development was laid out in the late 1990s.

While there are no current plans to develop it, Bayswater councillor Elli Petersen-Pik

proposed they protect the park so a future council couldn’t sell it off if they found themselves cash-strapped.

“It’s a public open space full of mature trees, we don’t want to lose it,” he says.

Formally rezoning it to “local public open space” would also stymie any potential state government plans to take it off the council and develop it.

But the state’s WA Planning Commission will have the final say over the scheme amendment so Cr Petersen-Pik is encouraging locals to have their say in hopes of convincing the state the park shouldn’t be developed.

So far local group the Friends of Maylands Brickworks are on board, having made a deputation to council last year calling for the park’s preservation.

Consultation’s open now via engage.bayswater.wa.gov.au.

Noongar activist Ken Colbung was invited to perform the didgeridoo at the opening event, and used the occasion to hand governor Wallace Kyle a notice evicting white people on behalf of WA’s Aboriginal community, done up in the style of a housing commission eviction. It sparked fury from Sir Charles who called it a cheap stunt.

Apart from that moment of praxis the rest of the celebrations were remembered by historian Geoffrey Bolton as a “sanitised version of the past” when he reflected on them a decade later.

“Nobody tried to replicate the heat, the insects, the dysentery, the alcoholism, the boredom and the discomfort which were so intimate a part of daily life in the Swan River Colony,” he reflected.

Not just another micro partyIN the recent elections, the

Legalise Cannabis Western Australia Party made world

history by becoming the first, single-issue cannabis party to ever win a seat in a state or national election. LCWA won two seats in the Legislative Council, Sophia Moermond in the South-West and Dr Brian Walker in East Metropolitan.

The historic nature of this victory, however, was eclipsed by criticism of the “group voting ticket”, whereby, through group preferences, micro parties were able to harvest the votes of their opponents eliminated in each round of ballot counting.

ReformThis criticism, along with

ensuant calls for electoral reform, was undoubtedly compounded by the success of the Daylight Savings Party in the Mining and Pastoral Region, where Wilson Tucker secured a seat with only 98 primary votes (0.2 per cent).

Because LCWA and DST similarly owe their electoral wins to the preferencing system, the media tended to conflate the two, despite significant distinctions between them.

First, as a small party established shortly before the election, LCWA managed to garner more total primary votes than all the other minor parties, surpassing Australian Christians,

This week’s SPEAKER’S CORNER is by Legalise Cannabis Western

Australia Party spokesperson Moshe Bernstein. “A historic victory for legal

cannabis” argues that his party’s success in winning two seats during the March state election isn’t comparable to

microparty vote rorts which have been blamed

for undermining democracy.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, Western Australian Party and Liberal Democrats, all of which held seats in the previous Legislative Council.

Furthermore, unlike the daylight savings issue, which failed four referendums, public support for legalising cannabis far exceeds the +2 per cent of the primary vote LCWA’s candidates received.

According to the 2019 National Drug Strategy Household survey, a plurality of 41 per cent of Australians supported legalising cannabis with 37 per cent opposed. That percentage of support is only expected to increase.

Recently, Virginia became

the 17th US state to legislate the regulated sale, consumption, and cultivation of cannabis. Recreational cannabis is legal in Canada, Uruguay, and Georgia and in 2021 is slated for legislation in Israel, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Luxembourg.

The reason for the clamour to enter the bourgeoning market of legal cannabis is that legalisation is proving successful, with none of the doomsayers’ predictions come to pass.

Back in 2003 WA premier Geoff Gallop’s government decriminalised the possession of up to 30 grams and cultivation of up to two plants.

With his “Tough on Crime”

policy, in 2011 premier Colin Barnett rescinded the law, recriminalising cannabis to have another ‘crime’ to get tough on.

The current Labor Party’s state platform on decriminalisation, purported to conform with “the provisions of the Gallop government’s Cannabis Control Act 2003”, has stealthily removed the allowance for cultivation from its original.

DecriminalisationWhile the unabridged 2003

decriminalisation model is a negligible first step, it still would not alleviate the concerns of LCWA’s electorate or the plurality of Australians supporting full legalisation.

• Merely decriminalising cannabis [where you take away the criminal charge but maintain possession as an illegal activity] perpetuates the black market.

• It fails to harness the entrepreneurship enhanced by a regulated industry.

• It denies WA’s farmers access to the nascent global cannabis market.

• It ignores those in need of medicinal cannabis, the current system stymied by the plant’s illegality.

• It disappoints WA taxpayers, losing out on the multi-million-dollar bonanza of cannabis revenue.

• It forsakes our children, some of whom might purchase cannabis

of unknown potency or harmful additives from unscrupulous street dealers (who do not check IDs as do legal dispensaries).

• It neglects the environment, since the cultivation of cannabis as biomass crops effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

• It disregards the social and health services which could be augmented with commercial cannabis proceeds packing the state’s coffers.

• Finally, decriminalisation falls short of the legal standard established in 2018 by Mexico’s Supreme Court ruling that cannabis prohibition was unconstitutional and a violation of human rights, specifically “the right to the free development of personality”.

Only the regulated sale, consumption, and cultivation of cannabis, comparable to the management of alcohol, can expedite all of the above considerations.

While electoral reforms may pose challenges to the LCWA Party, it would be mistaken to presume that its recent historic triumph will be its last.

Though a new party, only four months old, LCWA is driven by abundant enthusiasm, an unwavering commitment to the justness of its cause, and the assurance of broad public support.

Ultimately, the Party’s final victory will take place on that very same day when cannabis is at last made legal in Western Australia.

The skills that got awayby STEVE GRANT

AN exhibition paying homage to WA’s fishing community, as well as trying to preserve some of their dying arts, headlines a bumper contribution to the Australian Heritage Festival which opened last weekend.

Fish Shack Exhibition will take over the B-Shed on Victoria Quay, with everything from fishermen showing how to make sticky cray pots and mend their nets in traditional methods to artworks and a real(ish) fishing shack with a coffee machine to reflect the importance of the Italian community to the local industry.

The exhibition was the brainchild of local artist Sandy McKendrick.

“This started off because I was a teen in Freo and one of the reasons I loved living here was because it was an active port,” McKendrick says.

As she started exploring whether that love could be channeled into an exhibition, she discovered the fishermen were glorious storytellers and the idea took off.

“This has given me a gorgeous opportunity to stick my head in and speak with the fishermen and they have all been really generous with giving information and their resources.”

But she also discovered celebration wasn’t the only thing on their minds.

“Over the last few years a

lot of the skills from the fishing industry, from stick pot making to net mending have been dying out and a lot of young people had no idea that they were so big here,” McKendrick says.

She’s collected enough nets to trap a blue whale, but instead will drape them around the exhibition

so they old blokes can demonstrate how to mend them. There’ll also be workshops on how to make the best, most reliable mats from recycled crayfish lines, which spend

their working life under tension and drenched in salt water so they’re virtually indestructible.

Splicing and whipping exhibitions will reveal how to turn old rope into bracelets or quoits.

McKendrick says she’s also keen to build up her collection from stories and materials provided by the community itself.

“We’ve got a big screen of sailcloth and a great big map of the Mediterranean and beyond, so people can go and write a letter or a story about the many places they come from,” she said.

While she’s already been given a treasure trove of photos, she’s hoping to get more and will be bringing a scanner along so they can be added to a rolling display.

“Another of the things I am doing is in the middle of B-Shed there’s a ticketing office, and I’m turning it into a fish shack with a coffee machine, and I hope the fishers and their families can come in so that I can sketch them.

“There isn’t really a place where they can come and talk about what they’ve done.”

Fish Shack Exhibition was due to open yesterday (Friday April

16) and will be running until May 2 in B-Shed.

Other events lined up for the Australian Heritage Festival include a look at Fremantle through the historic films of much-loved former mayor Sir Frederick Samson. Produced by local mixed media gurus Genrefonix in collaboration with the Samson family and the City of Fremantle, the online collection is a fascinating look into life in Fremantle, from troops marching through the city on their way to war to visiting dignitaries to the Samson family’s quiet moments. There’s also a walking tour by local historians Mike and Joy Lefroy, which can be booked through https://www.freddysfilms.com.

QUIZ: CULTURE IN YOUR WORKPLACE

Award-winning cultural program open to all with Wisdom In Your Life

If you’re looking for more Wisdom In Your Life, and workplace, the Best Cultural Psychology and Coaching Company in 2020, operating from the magnifi cent Goolugatup Heathcote Cultural Precinct in Applecross, is there for you.

Led by Psychologist Roslyn Snyder, and Aboriginal leader Shaun Nannup, Wisdom In Your Life is a social business that helps individuals, families and workplaces to empower themselves and others in all aspects of their lives, including work.

“In the news we have been hearing about the culture of the ‘Canberra Bubble’ and how that is a Culture of Silence, that allows bad behaviour to go unchecked,” Roslyn told us.

“Culture at work has a signifi cant infl uence on the psychology of individuals and their families, and infl uences things like productivity, sales, sick leave, and retention, which are important to a business’ bottom line. Shifting a workplace from a culture of distrust, or worse, can signifi cantly improve business and ensure toxic infl uences have less impact.”

The award-winning Wisdom In Your Life is teaching resilience, integrity and culture, as well as mental health

development and Aboriginal cultural lessons in workplaces across WA including:

• Understanding the emotional landscape - decision-making

• Connecting to your core nature - professional interactions

• Introduction to workplace integrity - integrated workplace culture

Herald and Voice readers are invited to experience workplace training at half price by contacting Wisdom In Your Life this week.

A range of programs are available including customised workshops for companies, workplace and corporate integrity, resilience, capacity-building, mentoring, leadership, new and transitioning workers, and an annual on-Country workshop.

“Facilitators are professionally trained to deliver these programs, and more than half of our facilitators are Aboriginal,” says Roslyn.

Tasty beastfoodSTEPHEN POLLOCK

I WAS en route to one of the best-named restaurants in Perth – the Fat Dragon.A stalwart of Mt Lawley, the

Chinese has seen off countless food fads and trends over the years, as well as the recent economic decline in the suburb.

So what’s its secret?Well the owners know their

market – serving old-school Chinese that’s high quality and competitively priced.

It’s a bit like the AC/DC of Chinese restaurants – if it ain’t

broke don’t fix it.The red-and-black colour

scheme in Fat Dragon is perfect for autumn, creating a cosy vibe that conjures up images of 19th century opium dens and Bruce Lee doing the splits.

It felt a bit classy, but not too staid or forced.

As well as an inside dining area there’s a large alfresco with bistro blinds, heaters and fairy lights, making it a stylish all-year-round option.

The Fat Dragon’s ethos is “emphasis on freshness and above all flavour” and that was on full show in my beef black bean and chilli ($23).

The chunky pieces of red and green capsicum were literally

glistening and tasted super fresh, as did the thinly sliced onion and carrot.

It was a moreish dish with the salty black bean sauce complementing the tender slices of beef and fluffy fried rice, which was teeming with BBQ pork, egg and shrimp ($13).

The dish was rounded off with a smattering of spring onion and some tasty slices of mushroom.

My portion was huge, but it was so addictive I couldn’t help scoffing it all, with my young son saying I looked like one of the “Hungry Hippos” in his board game.

You can’t get much more old- school than lemon chicken ($25)

Usually the fillet is battered and sliced into wedges in a serving boat, but this incarnation had goujons.

“The crispy batter is light and not greasy, and the chicken is very succulent,” my wife said.

“A poorly made lemon chicken has a sickly sauce, but this has the right balance of tart and sweet.

“It’s a comforting and very satisfying dish.”

On Sunday night the service was pretty slow and there was a delay between my main arriving and my wife’s, creating a bit of a stuttering feast, but the quality of the food made up for it.

The young waitresses were pleasant, but the older lady who took our order and was in charge never cracked a smile, although she was helpful enough and to the point.

Our two young kids shared a Hongkie-Style Chicken Chow Mein ($17.50).

All the ingredients were super fresh and vibrant with the kids enjoying the thin noodles and tender slices of chook.

The mains were so big we didn’t really need the mini spring rolls ($8.80), but in for a penny in for a pound.

These specimens had a crispy carapace – that trademark crunch on your first bite – and were crammed with a delicious medley of vegetables.

The Fat Dragon is perfect for an old-school Chinese brimming with flavour and fresh ingredients.

They also do lunch, takeaway and are fully licensed.

The restaurant definitely lived up to its name and I waddled home like a fat, Scottish Bruce Lee.

Corrosion Control Australia (CCA) has been involved in product development in the fi eld of corrosion control and energy saving coatings for many years. The Perth-based group recently developed a way to include the anti-corrosion treatments and energy-saving membrane in one system called the ‘Roof Recovery System’.

COOLBOND is an eco-friendly water based coating system that protects your roof from the elements, and reduces heat transfer through your roof and walls. This is great news for homeowners in WA exposed to coastal conditions where airborne salt and pollutants combine to damage and corrode metal and masonry surfaces.

CCA recently completed a diffi cult access job for homeowners in White Gum Valley. Lisa and Tracy Rieniets fell in love with the area and bought a charming property, but it wasn’t without its challenges. The previous sealing of the internal ceiling cladding to roof had not been done correctly, allowing swarms of bees to fl y in.

Heat-Proof Your Roof!Reduce your energy bills this summer

TESTIMONIAL“I would recommend CCA solar-proofi ng for every roof in Australia. Our two-storey home has no ceilings and a tin roof. Upstairs was sweltering hot in summer. We were hoping for some improvement when we had the roof painted, but the results have far exceeded our expectations. Day one post-treatment it was 30.5°C and you could not tell the difference in temperature between the lower and upper fl oors. On the second day, it reached 40.3°C. We didn’t need our air conditioner or fans - at all.  We are amazed!I can already see there’s going to be a noticeable reduction in our summer power bill. That the solar proofi ng is non-toxic too makes it such a winner. It’s good to know we can reduce our carbon footprint in such a simple, eco-friendly way. To me, that’s sustainable living at its best. We can’t thank you enough Terry and Sean, for all you have done to help us.”  Tracey Rieniets

In luckby STEPHEN POLLOCK

LUCKY OCEANS will be joined by a who’s who of the Fremantle music scene at his 70th birthday bash later this month.

In an amazing career spanning Nashville to North Fremantle, the talented guitarist has played with the likes of Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Originally from Philadelphia, Oceans enjoyed his first big break with the US band Asleep at the Wheel, who got their debut recording contract after being praised by Van Morrison in Rolling Stone.

A grammy quickly followed and Oceans – renwoned for his pedal steel guitar playing – was soon rubbing shoulders with the likes of Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris.

“A lot happened at the Palomino Club, Los Angeles’ premier Country Music Venue, which Asleep at the Wheel played regularly,” Oceans says.

“Peter Fonda come to one of our shows and hung out on our bus with us.

“One night, Jerry Lee Lewis was in the audience, flicking his lighter on in appreciation of the band and then he stormed the stage, taking over the piano playing a ferocious

boogie woogie.”But Ocean’s life was turned upside down

when he fell in love with Boston Globe photographer Chris Haddow – originally from Broad Arrow in WA (now a ghost town) – and they got married and moved to Fremantle in 1981.

Since then he’s become an integral part of the local music scene playing with bands like Jim Fisher’s Outlaws, Zydecats, and Nansing and the Jam Tarts, whose Sunday Sessions at the Seaview Hotel were legendary.

He’s also forged a career as a well-respected broadcaster; his eclectic music show Daily Planet on ABC Radio National enjoyed a dedicated following for many years.

“As a broadcaster, I’m proud of the musicians I’ve helped by putting them on air, of the people that took up music as a result of the show and the high-level musical community that we built,” he says.

“As a musician, I’m proudest of my projects as musical director (The March 2021 Songs for Freedom at Point Walter) and as co-musical director for Perth Festival’s opening concert Home in Langley Park, 2014. I’m proud of the albums I recorded here – Dude Ranch, Zydecats, Secret Steel and Purple Sky (with Paul Kelly and Kasey Chambers), of my Sonic Sessions series, of my compositional work with cutting edge arts organisation Big hART, and of evolving a unique pedal steel style.”

Lucky Oceans will be joined by a host of established and new musicians including Dave Brewer, Peter Evans and Jim Fisher at his 70th Birthday Bash at Freo Social on Friday April 23.

Darkest AgeIndustrious fi lmmaker

Isabella Jacqueline is currently shooting her new teen crime drama Darkest Age.

A feature fi lm adaptation of Jacqueline’s short fi lm of the same name, Darkest Age follows teen meth dealer Sam, who becomes obsessed with one of his classmates.

Obsession turns to chaos when everything begins to spiral out of control for the pair.

Jacqueline already has 26 acting credits to her name including a major role in Jordon Prince-Wright’s independent WA western The Decadent and Depraved.

Darkest Age will be Jacqueline’s fi rst feature fi lm as director following fi ve short fi lms.

Darkest Age stars Perth Film School graduate Harrison Green, debut screen actor Gabriel James Nash and Alla Hand, who’s best known for her performance in the WA Screen Award-winning Pinch.

Shelley Q, Susan Stevenson, Imogen Rose Flint and Jeremy Pickett co-star.

THE WA screen industry is a resilient and slightly lucky beast. While production companies around the world were forced to press pause during covid-19, WA fi lmmakers were busy making loads of short fi lms, television series, documentaries and feature fi lms. Here’s a rundown of what’s being made in-and-around Perth:

Lights, camera, action, Perth!It Only Takes a NightNew Australian feature fi lm

It Only Takes A Night will begin fi lming in Perth next month.

Melbourne-born actor Eliza Taylor (The 100) is set to star in the new romantic-comedy written and directed by Perth-based fi lmmaker Callan Durlik.

Durlik’s screenwriting credits include feature fi lm The Naked Wanderer and short fi lm Runner, which recently screened at the WA Made Film Festival.

It Only Takes A Night follows four best friends on a girl’s night out. They end up on a path none of them expected and fi nd out it really does only take one night to change your life.

Most recognisable for her role as role as Clarke Griffi n in The 100, Taylor has an impressive list of screen credits including Neighbours and Patrick, a 2013 remake of the 1978 Australian classic. Taylor will also be an executive producer.

It Only Takes A Night stars George Pullar (Moon Rock for Monday) and Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts’ Ana Ika, making her feature fi lm debut.

How to Please a WomanEnglish actress, television

presenter and comedian Sally

Phillips (Bridget Jones’s Diary) has joined the cast of new Australian feature fi lm How to Please a Woman, a warmhearted look at sexuality and vulnerability in all stages of life.

Phillips plays 50-something Gina, who launches an all-male house-cleaning service.

When the business grows out of control, Gina must embrace her own sexuality if she is to make a new life for herself.

Appearing alongside Phillips is Erik Thomson; fresh from fi lming Blueback in WA and recently seen on the big screen in another WA-made fi lm The Furnace.

This heartfelt comedy-drama is the debut feature from WA writer-director Renée Webster, whose directing credits include ABC’s The Heights. How to Please a Woman begins fi lming in Perth on Monday.

The CanaryWA fi lmmakers Emilie Lowe

and Peter Renzullo are calling on the public to help fund their new feature fi lm The Canary.

Lowe and Renzullo are promising audiences a visceral and compelling period drama that

Sally Phillips

utilises Western Australian cast, crew, locations and businesses.

“The Canary is a timely and ever-relevant story surrounding the gender roles, female empowerment and defying subjugating social standards,” Lowe tells the Voice.

Set during the eighteenth century, The Canary follows protagonist Claire, who is adrift on a lifeboat after the ship she is travelling on sinks.

With only a caged canary for company, Claire must fi nd the power to defy the social standards of her time; utilising her inner-strength, determination and newfound ingenuity to survive.

Written and co-directed by 21-year-old Lowe, The Canary gives a voice to the female struggle with Claire battling against her inner-demons and the hostile environment.

The Canary will be co-directed by Peter Renzullo, who recently directed the award-winning WA feature fi lm Anticipation.

You can fi nd out more about the crowdfunding campaign at readyfundgo.com

Fading Numbers20-year-old fi lmmaker Aron

Attiwell is in post-production on his concept short Fading Numbers, Australia’s largest independent holocaust fi lm.

“Fading Numbers highlights the plight of holocaust survivors and the continuation of their legacy in a world of mixed messaging around the holocaust,” Attiwell told the Voice.

The fi lm’s title is a reference to the identifi cation numbers tattooed on prisoners’ arms in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. As the tattoos fade, so do the number of survivors left.

With 75 volunteer crew using professional industry equipment, the fi lm recently wrapped shooting in Perth.

“We will be distributing the fi lm to high schools all across Western Australia and eventually Australia to educate students on the holocaust, as well as entering the fi lm in global festivals,” Attiwell says.

Local audiences can expect to see Fading Numbers early next year.

A scene from Fading Numbers.

It is a mini big band (with 7 brass instead of 13) and 2 vocalists that does a mix of classic big band repertoire and modern tunes done in a Swing or Latin style - Benny Collins alto sax, Tom Greble tenor sax, Alex Boyd baritone sax, Marty Pervan trumpet, Ricki Malet trumpet, Steve Bickley trombone, Kieran Hurley bass trombone, Tom Salleo piano, Pete Jeavons bass, Mike Pigneguy drums, Sarah Ramsey and Reece Clark vocalists.

Miss Peta Lee is known as an exponent of the bluesier side of jazz with her voluptuous voice and big personality. Baritone saxophone player Damian Drac Denyer is steeped in tradition and brings anything from a whisper to a wail swinging from his horn - with Adrian Galante piano, Danny Moss Jnr bass, Bronton Ainsworth drums.

Metro Big Band with Erin Royer, The Metro Big Band is a showcase of talented and enthusiastic musicians under the guidance of Musical Director Erin Royer with a huge repertoire of swing and jazz, soul and Motown, blues and Latin and rock and pop – with 5 saxes, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, piano, guitar, bass and drums as well as male and female vocalist.

usually has one or two interesting features or

talking points.This Bayswater abode has a

front deck that looks like the prow of a ship cutting through a tranquil lake of grass.

It’s just one of the lovely features in this five bedroom, two bathroom home, which was built in the mid 20th century and has been restored and enhanced over the years.

High ceilings, large rooms and plenty of natural light create a spacious feel synonymous with homes of this era.

The polished wooden floors really pop, adding a lovely contrast to the neutral tones on the walls and ceiling.

The owners clearly have good taste and a nice sense of style, blending the old and new with aplomb.

Highlights include the stylish kitchen, which has vintage pendant lights and bold hexagonal tiles that blend into the splashback, and a dining room that features polished concrete floors.

The house has a nice indoor-outdoor flow with sliding doors in the dining room connecting to a large decked alfresco out back.

There’s heaps of space on the deck, making it perfect for a large family gathering or hosting a

dinner party for friends.Off to the side is a small patch of

grass with a modern pizza oven in the corner.

Complete with storage for wood, this is a superb addition to the garden and I could imagine whipping up some margheritas for friends and family.

With five bedrooms and two bathrooms you’re never going to

run out of space when people come to stay.

The huge main bedroom is a cracker and features a lovely ensuite.

The bedrooms, living spaces and home office are split over two levels, so there’s plenty of scope for a parent’s retreat, teenage den or if a visiting family want an area to themselves.

The home includes off-street parking for four vehicles (partially covered), a large secure storage shed/workshop and reticulated gardens.

Situated on a generous 481sqm green-titled block on Drake Street, this home is close to the centre of Bayswater, a street away from Hillcrest Reserve, and within walking distance of sought-after

primary schools and Chisholm College.

This large family house has plenty of style and features and a competitive price tag to boot.

Jackson, and is produced by the original SAW team of Mark Burg and Oren Koules. The film is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman and written by Josh Stolberg & Pete Goldfinger. In Cinemas May 13

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)There are four planets in Taurus; the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus. The universe

has clearly got it’s attention on you. Life is challenging you to open your eyes to new horizons. You may be having trouble imagining that there are such things. There are. Lift your nose to possibility.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)The Moon has a go at raining on your parade early in the week, possibly

triggering a wave of uncomfortable emotion. The good news is that this is a passing storm. It won’t last long. For the rest, you are comfortable with the societal and personal changes that are now being called for.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)Mars has just crossed over from Gemini into Cancer. You have a powerful new

guest in your midst. The initial omens are good. He has pleasant bonds in place with the Sun and with Jupiter, which means that he will bring vitality and expansiveness into your universe. Can you feel your fi re?

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)The Sun is in Taurus, bringing you to ground. He is supported by three

other planetary presences with pretty much the same agenda. Keep life simple. There is no room for any grandiosity right now. As you bring your gaze to the mundane, you will discover a surprising amount of magic.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)The rising Moon brings her show to Virgo early in the week. She joyously emphasises

the law of constant change. Are you ready? Imagination, as intoxicating as it is, is preventing you from experiencing the possibilities inherent in realness. Identify your voice clearly; and then trust it.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) Venus is fi nding her way through the lush pastures of Taurus. She is moving

in close quarters with the Sun, Mercury and Uranus. You are being drawn down from your usual airy heights, to the earth below. Feast your senses not your mind. It is time to be realistic about the possibility of change.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21All the planetary weight is in Taurus, on the other side of the

sky, challenging you. It is especially testing you around self-perception and relationships. It is not easy to perceive oneself clearly, minus the mirror of relationship. Let the truth bring you to ground. Listen, and adjust your position.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)Life is certainly requesting a rethink. This is a good moment to lay down any

preconceptions you might have in your personal life, or in you understanding of what’s going on in the world at large. Look again. The presence of four planets in Taurus is an invitation to return to simplicity.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)There is a certain obstinate resistance to change in the air. It’s not easy to let

go of what’s familiar. It takes courage to go into the unknown. Yet, at key points in history this is what is required. Loosen your grip on what you know for long enough to conceive of creative, positive possibilities.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)The planets suggest you are fully engaged in all sorts of personal and collective

manoeuvres. The most dynamic relationship you have going now is one of resistance. You are locking horns with one who is as stubborn as you are. Add awareness and the outcome will be a wise compromise.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)You are ready for change, even if you can’t see what that change could

entail. We know in our hearts when one adventure is done and dusted and it’s time for the next one. The Virgo Moon early in the week will make you want you to keep things tidy. Creative shifts aren’t always tidy.

THE story of Anzac Cottage - the Mount Hawthorn house built in 1916 by community volunteers

for returned WWI veteran Private John Porter and his family - is well known to many.

But there are other less well known ‘renovation rescue’ stories of local volunteers who banded together to support the families of returned servicemen in Vincent.

After WWI, life was tough for many widows and incapacitated veterans, and their families. Charities such as the Ugly Men’s Voluntary Workers Association of Western Australia helped those in need.

The ‘Uglies’ as they were commonly known, set up a training college and employment service for returned servicemen after the war. They also gave out relief payments and organised busy bees to build or fix homes for veterans and war widows in the Perth suburbs.

RenovatedThe Uglies renovated the home of war

widow Agnes Brackenridge at 13 Blake Street North Perth in July 1917.

After her husband Douglas died in action in France in 1916, Agnes was left to raise a family of five children in what was described in the newspapers as ‘a little hovel’.

The Ugly Men’s appeal saw a team of volunteers transform the timber cottage into a more substantial, watertight home for her five children. Agnes and her family remained in the home until her death in 1942.

In 1919 the Ugly Men pitched in again to refurbish the family home of returned soldier William Marshall at 210 Carr Street Leederville.

Our beautiful historyIn this week’s tale from the Vincent Local History Centre, we hear of the charitable efforts by returned servicemen who rebuilt their lives while rebuilding homes.

Marshall had migrated from England to Australia in 1910 and built a two-roomed house for his young family.

In 1916, he enlisted in the 16th Battalion AIF and left his wife and two children at home while he fought in WWI.

After being held as a German prisoner of war from 1917-1919, he returned home to Leederville. The Uglies built a wooden extension comprising of a kitchen and dining room at the back of the tiny house, which remained the Marshall’s home until the 1950s.

What about your home?If these stories inspire you to find out

whether your home has an interesting wartime connection, the City of Vincent Local History Centre, in collaboration with Anne Chapple from Friends of Anzac Cottage, are offering an Anzac-themed house history workshop on May 12. The workshop will highlight the information and resources that can help unlock the stories and secrets of your home.

Following the workshop, participants are invited to Anzac Cottage in Mount Hawthorn for a guided tour.

Epic Epic rideride

TWO brothers have embarked on a punishing seven-week bike ride from Fremantle to Sydney to raise funds for service personnel and first responders suffering PTSD.

Brian and Ian Schumacher, both in their 50s, dipped their wheels in the ocean at Bathers Beach before starting the epic 4400km trip.

Funds raised from the coast-to-coast ride will be given to the charity Integra Service Dogs Australia, which provides assistance dogs to former and current serving ADF veterans and first responders with PTSD.

Brian, who has sons in the police force and army, decided to do the charity ride after the bushfires of 2019/20 put first responders under enormous pressure.

“The impact of providing vulnerable people with a support dog that gives them renewed purpose,

greater confidence and unconditional support is life changing – and it saves lives,” Brian said.

Integra’s dogs are trained to become emotionally tuned to their handler and provide unconditional support through the trauma and stresses of everyday life.

It costs approximately $35,000 to train and place an assistance dog with a veteran or first responder suffering PTSD. Brian and Ian lost their sister Merilyn to suicide in 1997 after a long battle with mental illness, so the brothers have a passion for supporting mental health initiatives.

Brian rode almost 1000km from Hay NSW to Maitland NSW in January last year in support of his brother Ian, who was on the second leg of his Maitland SA to Maitland NSW ride in support of families who had lost a loved-one through suicide.

To donate to the Integra Coast-to-Coast Ride go to isda.com.au/coast-to-coast-ride/

• Brian and Ian Schumacher leave Fremantle with a guard of honour from the local RSL.
