Workshop on how to beat weeds
S
INTRODUCED SPECIES CHOKING OUT NATURAL VEGETATION
control them. “A frightening
fact about bridal creeper is it
has 90 per cent of its biomass
underground, consisting of a
massive tuber system, which
helps it to survive droughts,”
Mr Warburton said.
“Controlling these weeds
requires lots of physical work,
with back pack spraying and
chain sawing.”
A team employed by Wheatbelt NRM has spent months
walking hundreds of kilometres of the Avon Valley from
Beverley to West Toodyay plotting infestations.
Pockets of tamarisk and
bridal creeper have become so
thick that native vegetation
cannot survive.

EMIRATES PRIZE TAILOR-MADE FOR COMPETITION NOVICE KATHARINE
KATHARINE Stewart-Robinson doesn't usually enter competitions, much less win them.
In fact, the winner of our Win Your Way to
London prize draw says this was the first
time she had ever bothered to enter a competition, and was blown away to hear that
her name was drawn ahead of more than
40,000 other entrants.
As well as the lure of the main prize – two
business-class airfares with Emirates and
seven nights’ accommodation at the Caesar
Hotel in central London, valued at $17,800 –
Katharine believed other components of the
competition were made for her.
Readers were asked to find the Emirates
Western Force rugby balls hidden throughout the paper and use them to fill in a coupon.
“I like rugby and I used to work with Qantas. I was interested in their partnership with
Emirates and I have been looking at a way to
use Qantas frequent flyer points to get to
Europe this year,” Katharine said. “When I
saw the competition, I thought, this is looking like something I would be very interested
in. But I swear this is the first competition I've
entered; the gods must be crazy or something.”
Katharine's long-term partner Terry immediately anointed himself as her travelling
partner and couldn't wait to tell his mates.
Four people – Terry Parker, of Ocean
Reef, Tania Rapana-Stowen, of Gosnells,
John Wallace of Peppermint Grove, and Carol
Mills of Leeming – won consolation prizes of
a double pass to a Western Force home
game.

THE $565 million Southern Inland Health Initiative will deliver funding and upgrades to
Northam’s health services.
The initiative, funded by

More than 30 sites across the
southern inland catchment
will receive funding to strengthen the clinical services they deliver.
Towns linked to the Northam
network include Beverley, Cunderdin, Goomalling, Toodyay,
Wongan Hills, Wyalkatchem
and York.
Northam Hospital will receive a significant infrastructure upgrade.
Beverley Hospital, Cunderdin Hospital and Lodge,
Goomalling Hospital, Wongan
Hills Hospital and Lodge,
Wyalkatchem Hospital and
York Hospital will all receive
minor upgrades as part of the
early works program under way
during 2013.
Thirty-six sites underwent
building condition audits in 2012.
A concept brief is being finalised, followed by a site master plan and then the actual design work will start.
The major redevelopment
work at the hospital campus
will start in 2014.

NATURAL resource management group Wheatbelt NRM
has surveyed and mapped a
150km stretch of the Avon
River for tamarisk and bridal
creeper weeds.
Both species, which choke
out native vegetation, are listed as weeds of national significance.
Wheatbelt NRM has organised a free, half-day workshop
in York today.
ABC TV personality and
Gardening Australia presenter Josh Byrne will make an
appearance and discuss how to
prevent environmental weeds
escaping from your garden.
Byrne will also provide advice on gardening in the Avon
region.
Wheatbelt NRM’s project
officer Greg Warburton said
tamarisk originated from the
Middle East and was introduced to Australia as a garden
plant and salt tolerant re-vegetation species.
“This weed is also found upstream of bridges where it was
planted to protect pylons during flooding,” Mr Warburton
said.
Bridal creeper was introduced from southern Africa as
an ornamental plant.
The workshop will help
people identify Weeds of National Significance and how to

with Moccalisa, the art that inspired the Art
On The Menu exhibition.
FIVE years ago, Eyers Rocket publisher
Scott Arnold-Eyers saw artist Stephen
Choi's huge portrait Moccalisa, which was
made entirely from coffee beans.
The work sparked the idea for a charity
exhibition that combined art with food,
which is finally coming to fruition.
Run by his publication Menu Magazine,
Art On The Menu will make its way into
four currently top-secret venues around
Perth towards the end of the year.
Mr Arnold-Eyers is putting the call out
for submissions from all artists who would
like to either donate or contribute their
work for the exhibition.
“Anyone is invited to put anything forward, but the pieces have to be food, cafe
or restaurant related in some way, shape
or form,” he said. “Photos, drawings and
sculptures are all welcome, as long as the
piece is relevant to the theme.”
Mr Arnold-Eyers said artists should get
in contact with him either via phone or
email to discuss their creations.
Artworks will be auctioned on each exhibition's opening night, with profits going
to chosen charities, including Beyond Blue
and Cystic Fibrosis WA.
“Every year we do something that's a bit
crazy, so this is our crazy thing for the year,
I guess,” Mr Arnold-Eyers said.
