Cockatoo hydration station installed in Dwellingup
Dwellingup welcomed the installation of a 'Cockitrough' last week, which will provide essential hydration for native birds, including threatened black cockatoos. The Cockitrough supplies birdlife with multiple troughs, wooden perches and above-ground protection from predators and humans and, most notably, a permanent fresh water supply all year round, essential during dry periods when natural waterways dry up. Shire president Douglas McLarty, deputy shire president Ange Rogers and Councillor Stuart Kirkham. Credit: Supplied Designed and supplied by the Town of Victoria Park, this low-maintenance solution was especially made for black cockatoos, which regularly roost within the forested areas of the Dwellingup townsite. Shire of Murray president Douglas McLarty said one of the shire's key focus areas was working to ensure the natural environment was cared for and appreciated, and managed through the Environmental Sustainability Strategy. 'We are lucky to share our environment with many significant birds in Murray, including three species of black cockatoos,' he said. 'These are just a few of the species we endeavour to support within our sustainability efforts.' The Cockitrough is located near the Dwellingup Trails and Visitors Centre.

IN PICTURES: Thousands flock to Great Southern for historic Albany Classic street race in city's CBD
Albany once again played host to its beloved annual street racing event over the WA Day long weekend, with more than 5000 spectators crowding into the CBD to see the Albany Classic. A total of 115 cars of all makes, eras and models lined up to race around the iconic street circuit that lapped the city centre, with their drivers hailing from all across the country. The pit lanes were set up near the Albany Town Square, and attendees of all ages stopped in to see drivers get ready to race and to have a closer look at their favourite cars after they had sped around the track. Races ran all day and the event was full of all the thrills and spills expected on a street circuit, with more than one driver meeting the concrete barricades on a corner. The Classic has been running for almost 90 years in Albany, and Albany Classic Motorsport Club president Glenn Badger said support for the event was still on the up. The event was staged with the help of hundreds of volunteers, who set the event up in the dark on Saturday night, and packed the concrete barricades down again after race day.
