Visit from District 9455 Governor Jon Bilson
with highly interactive and informative speech
joined by Rotary Club of Morley,
Club
President Ian Bresland.
AGM this week, we heard from DG Jon Bilson,
seen here with President Richard
. Jon gave us some key messages from RI
before taking a refreshing approach
in leading an interactive session with members
answering some key questions
as to how we can keep Rotary relevant in 2020.
Members were reluctant to go home, continuing
the discussion informally after
the meeting.
What an EPIC night! In total,
10 heads shaved and
$112,000 raised for the
Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research
! The Rotary Clubs of Perth and Crawley extend a HUGE THANK YOU
to the Perth Community for your support towards this event.
To stand on stage with this amazing group of individuals driven by "Service Above Self"
is truly inspiring. Rotary is, without doubt,
Perth Rotary -
Western Australia
Thanks to Anita Bourke the club raised approximately $7000
at our Saturday stall in support of Nokor Tep Womens
Hospital Cambodia.
Intimate link between Land Use and Transportation.
This was the subject of the talk given by Sarah MacAuley
and Tim Campbell both from the RAC.
Emphasis was put on the effects on traffic of Covid
and how things will look in the post Covid era.
Our guest speakers tonight were Monique Barker and Suzy Stanford
and they talked about how the Fitzroy River, Western Australia’s largest river,
stretching over 700km from the East Kimberley to the coast at King Sound
is under threat from large scale development in its catchment.
The Fitzroy River has a National Heritage listing for its outstanding cultural values
and supports a huge array of wildlife, including
18 species of fish found nowhere else in the world.
It is a critical breeding ground and nursery for the
critically endangered Freshwater Sawfish.
Life on the River is unpredictable.
When it rains, floods bring wetlands to life and restore the River.
Between floods the river often stops flowing and animals
hang on in permanent pools
fed by underground water.
In some years there are big floods,
in other years there is almost no rain.
There are irrigation projects seeking to take water from the Fitzroy River
including for 325 Gigalitres and another for 50 Gigalitres.
In comparison, the whole of Perth and Southwest WA
uses just over 200 GL of water each year.
It is feared this level of irrigation will decimate the Fitzroy River
and leave it in a similar condition to the Murray-Darling
catchment.
Monique and Suzy were looking for support in protecting this unique ecosystem.
