Variety of classic beauties cruise into
Ferngrove on their charity drive
Dr Ray Cockerill of the
Geraldton Mole and Skin Cancer
Clinic has recently conducted
his second Skin Cancer Clinic in
Frankland River. Dr Cockerill
has conducted 178 examinations
over his past two visits to
Frankland River checking the
wellbeing of our community.
The very important and valued
service was as a result of Daisy, Dr Cockerill’s daughter
asking her dad if he would provide the service.
Just a little of Dr Ray Cockerill’s background makes for
some interesting reading and insight into a delightful
man.
Ray graduated from UWA in 1975 and trained at Royal
Perth Hospital as well as Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.
His original intention was to train as a neurosurgeon but
became a country GP back in his hometown of
Geraldton after doing a locum for his father in law,
Dr John Saunders in 1976.
Dr Cockerill has been a procedural GP in Geraldton ever
since 1978. His expertise covered obstetrics, anaesthetics
and emergency medicine.
The Variety Creative Car Cruise celebrated five years on
the road in 2015, when over 90 participants and officials
and 24 cars set off on a trip through the state’s South
West this week.
The event officially started from the Bunbury Education
Support Centre on Thursday, taking the fleet of classic,
muscle, sports and modified vehicles through Nannup,
Walpole, Albany, Frankland River and Mt Barker before
finishing at the Harvey Dam on Sunday, 22 March.
A classic car lover’s delight, the line-up included a 1958
Cadillac, Series 62 Coup and a 1963 Holden EJ Panel
Van.
Ray has now largely ceased practicing in these fields of
medicine, in favour of focusing on skin cancer, which is
all he has been doing over the past five years.
Dr Cockerill has completed his Fellowship with the Skin
Cancer College of Australasia.
Dr Cockerill and his wife Jo love coming down from
Geraldton to visit the grandies (and the parents too!) to
do a few odd jobs and enjoy Frankland River.
To the good fortune of the Frankland River and close by
communities Ray is keen to conduct several clinics a
year for the foreseeable future.
Thank you Dr Ray Cockerill.
Entrants were not in a race, just a casual cruise for
charity, with each car crew committing to raise much

needed funds for Variety – the Children’s Charity of
WA.
Participants have contributed a minimum $4,000
donation ($3,000 for new cars) that will go towards
empowering WA kids who are sick, disadvantaged or
have special needs through the provision of practical
equipment, programs and experiences.
The Variety Creative Car Cruise is proudly supported by
89’s The Garage Door Specialists.
To find out more about Variety WA, or to register your
interest for the 2016 event, visit www.varietywa.org.au
or call 9355 3655.
Two meetings have come and gone already, times flying.
On 12 February was to have been our AGM but owing to
ill health and family commitments it had to be deferred.
With five members attending we had a quorum so a
General Meeting was held: One topic of interest was
agreed by all that CWA purchase a rain gauge to record
the towns rainfall and if agreeable the Community
Resource Centre be approached to position, read and
record so the public can read in The Franklander how
much rain we’ve had. We are also looking for
suggestions as to what local projects we can support any
ideas?
Our competitions for March is a pot holder, April a tea
towel. February’s raffle was won by Shirley. Our AGM
was set for 12 March.
AGM - Annabelle Capp chaired our meeting we thank
you Annabelle. Unfortunately our outgoing President
was unable to attend and has resigned due to family
matters and we are really going to miss you Clare.
After all the reports and audited bank balance were
presented we had the election of Office Bearers for the
new year. President Jo Jones, Vice President Barbara
Dawson, Secretary/Treasurer Shirley Williams, Reporter
is also Secretary's job & Craft Officer Barbara Dawson.
The outgoing Treasurer Ev Fish and Secretary Barbara
Dawson wanted a vote of thanks be recorded for Shirley
Williams for helping them out throughout the year.
Annabelle then congratulated all incoming office bearers
and pinned on their badges. We sincerely thank you
Annabelle. A letter of thanks to be sent to Peter
Northover for auditing our books.
General Meeting on the 12 March followed the AGM.
We welcomed a new member Denise Greehalgh.
Welcome Denise.
Our rain gauge has been presented to CRC so let it rain.

Ferngrove as part of their cruise through the SouthWest. Ferngrove are proud supporters of Variety WA.

Bushfire Information Session
Mr Steven McDonald and Ms Sarah Matthews
presented a very well-run & informative
presentation to a small but attentive group of
Frankland River residents last week.
Areas of concern from the group attending
included:
 Is there a Shire / FESA Evacuation Plan?
 Where are we to go to?
 Who will organize the evacuation?
 What do we have to bring?
 When will we go?
 Who will tell us to go?
 How will we be told?
 What should we do to reduce the risk of being
burnt or property being burnt?
 Is there a register where we can advise
somebody that they have left our residence and
are safe and our location’?
Further information sessions along with some
practical advice/ demonstrations as to dealing
with house (kitchen) fires are planned.

Doctor Visit to Frankland River
The Frankland River Community Centre enjoyed
the resumption of the Plantagenet Medical
Centre’s GP visits. Dr Fitzpatrick came to the
rescue as Dr Sabin was not able to attend the
Clinic as was intended. Thank you Dr Fitzpatrick
for stepping up and providing Frankland River
with your GP services.
Dr Fitzpatrick’s visit coincided with Dr Ray
Cockerills Skin Cancer Clinic.
Patients were coming through the door, going to
their respective medical appointments without
any hitches thanks to the great organisational
skills of Sue Tremayne and ably assisted by Beck
Ettridge. Worked like clockwork.
Dr Fitzpatrick had a full book for the day and Dr
Cockerill saw a total of 96 patients with some
returning for further treatments.
Great effort by the local community to support
the service that has been provided at the
Community Centre.
The Plantagenet Medical Centre will have a GP at
Frankland River every second Tuesday from now
on.
Should you require the services of a GP at
Frankland River, contact the Plantagenet Medical
Centre on 9892100 to make your appointment.

RAINFALL FIGURES FOR 2015
We have received several comments on the recent lack
of rainfall figures for Frankland River in our monthly
round-up. Figures are now reported direct to the Bureau
of Meteorology (BOM) and sourcing these figures from
other locals recordings is not always possible prior to
printing.
We have also been requested to reproduce data direct
from the BOM website, this intellectual information is
copyright and reproducing in any form requires written
permission from the Commonwealth of Australia.
The BOM website holds a wealth of interesting data
from our area and is an excellent source of information
including climate statistics and rainfall figures and we
encourage everyone to take a browse at the figures and
statics that has been gathered over many years.

When browsing the following notes may assist:
 Gaps in the record is due to missing valid daily
observations within that given month. This can be
caused by failure in the observatory equipment,
where an event has suspect data or where the records
are kept manually and the observer is away
 Data recorded in italics represents observations that
have not been fully quality controlled.
We would like to sincerely thank the manual recorders in
our district who kindly share their records with us each
month, your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank

Nunijup Patchwork Group News
Autumn Movie Night
th
On the 19 of March the Nunijup Patchwork Group
celebrated its’ 19th birthday. The Group was formed in
1995 under guidance of Denise Beech and started with
10 members. We now have 19 members.
By 2010 the Group moved to that Tenterden Hall, a light
and spacious venue.
During the years Presidents and Secretaries came and
went, but not the Treasurer. Lorraine Parsons has now
been in that position for an amazing 19 years. Through
good times and bad times she has always been cheerful
and efficient.
Our Autumn Movie Night will be held on
Saturday 11 April starting at 7:00pm. In the final
stages of planning the movie title will be
confirmed next edition.
Mark the date in the diary, book the babysitter
and join us for a few child free hours mid school
holidays.
Rainfall
Our birthday lunch, attended by nearly all our members
seemed the ideal time to present Lorraine with Life
Membership to the Group for her outstanding service
and commitment. Well done Lorraine.
Statistics gathered from the newly installed rain
gauge reports 8 wet days, 13 dry days and
36.6mm of rain for March.
The Group meets twice a month and new members are
welcome.
To date Frankland River has experienced 19 wet
days and 61 dry days during 2015. Recent
evenings have been considerably cooler with the

Seeding canola in dry soil
Timing is the key to successful seeding of canola in dry
soil. Assessing this risk has been made a little easier
thanks to a guide recently produced by DAFWA. The
guide identifies the best tactics, which are a result of trial
work in the Wheatbelt during 2013 and 2014. If you
would like more information about this topic, contact
Kelly.

One way the team at WeedSmart
do this is by providing
information to growers via their

include ‘Can planting a tight crop improve weed
control?’ and ‘Pre-emergent herbicides need to be more

Worms
Summer drenching has been confirmed as the main factor causing high levels of drench resistance in WA.
Most adult sheep have low worm egg counts in summer
(and a drench at that time isn’t warranted) so delaying a
drench until late March or April is recommended by
WormBoss. Want help with your worm decisions?

Uralla Update
Life remains pretty hectic here at Uralla with a record
number of animals arriving on our doorstep. Our good
news story this week is the successful release of Debbie
the joey I wrote about in the last Uralla news. Thankfully
Debbie fully recovered and it was a really happy
occasion to release her and watch her hop away towards
the other kangaroo’s that were grazing off in the
distance.
We really hope that we will see that day for one of our
other little joeys. Charlie arrived a month ago after being
found caught up and hanging upside down in a fence. By
the time he was rescued he had cut his legs down to the
bone and sustained nerve damage. At that time he was
unable to weight bear and we were unsure if the nerve
damage was permanent or not. Luckily for Charlie he is
now able to stand and hop slowly around, he still has
some nerve damage to his feet and his wounds have a
long way to go before they heal but he has improved a
lot since he arrived. He has a sweet and patient nature
and is very accepting of the care we need to give him.
His human mum Margaux has given him a lot of love
and attention making his time here at Uralla less scary
for Charlie. He still has a long way to go but we remain
optimistic about his future.
Page 9, 23 Mar 2015
call as soon as possible. Don’t try to feed the joey as the
wrong milk will kill it. Sometimes very little joeys will
be in the pouch still attached to mum’s teat, pulling the
teat out of the mouth can damage the fragile joeys jaw so
it is much better to cut the teat from the mum and leave
it in the joey’s mouth. Naturally the joey needs
experienced care as a matter of priority.
Uralla is open for visitors 7 days a week and admission
is free though we do ask you to ring before visiting to
arrange the best time for you and the animals.
We are available to take animals 24 hours a day and can
be contacted on 98561065.
Until next time,
John and Mandy ENGLISH
Our latest project at Uralla is the construction of a flight
aviary. This is financed by a grant from Lotterywest for
the materials and is being constructed with the help of
our fantastic volunteers. With our injured/abandoned
bird numbers increasing the flight aviary will be
invaluable in allowing the birds to build up their strength
again prior to release.
We would like to give a huge thanks to Hughie and
Gunwarrie for the generous donation of grain, likewise
many thanks to Tim Parsons for his donation of oats. We
have also had a donation of some bales of hay which is
really appreciated. It is really great to get such local
support and thanks also to the numerous people who
have donated blankets and towels to ensure all our
animals are kept warm and clean.
Uralla will be holding a sausage sizzle at Bunnings on
Easter Sunday April, 5th and we hope to make this a
successful fundraiser.
We currently have our French Revolution at Uralla with
8 of our 9 volunteers being from France, Bianca from
Hong Kong is well and truly outnumbered. All are doing
a fantastic job and we have a really great team with us at
the moment.
On a final note I would just like to mention that we are
once again at the time of the year when female
kangaroo’s may have joeys in their pouches so please if
you come across a dead kangaroo on the side of the road
stop and check the pouch. If you do find a joey wrap it in
something warm, keep it nice and quiet and give us a
