The Breath of Winter
Winters white blanket covers the skies
Through the cool of the day a lonely
crow cries
There is a chill in the air as the moisture
hangs low
Your breath can be seen in a morning

There is not a breath here not even a

And the sun hides away behind the low

And Carnamah is hidden in an ominous

Ranger Services and Emergency Management
The Shire’s existing Emergency Management & Ranger Services position has been
made redundant as a result of an organisational review, and ceases on 30 July 2021.
The function has been split in two and the following arrangements will be in place from

The ranger service will be provided by WA Contract Rangers. Should you have need of
a ranger in an emergency, please contact the Shire or call Matt Sharpe directly on 0459

contact the Shire for all other situations.
Arrangements for the provision of emergency management services are almost com-
plete and further details will be provided once this is finalised.

weed. The darkness prevents seeds emerging and the heat of
summer will often dry the weeds sufficiently to prevent
massive re-seeding issues.
Despite best efforts I have found that the weeds can still
germinate from a compost. You can also find that vegetable
seeds such as pumpkin and zucchini may do the same thing. I
always maintain it is how you deal with this that matters.
Weeds can be pulled out and added to composts again,
pumpkin seedlings and zucchinis can be replanted in a better
location. If you have the time to do this it is easy to manage
the garden. Time is always a factor though.
There are some downsides to composting. The process in
itself invites insects to appear in garden areas. They are
useful in a garden but can cause annoyance when they
venture into other spots. I have noticed a significant
increase in cockroaches around compost areas and this is a Contact

garden, birds and spiders are also natural predators.
I have been adding cardboards to the compost too which
assists with recycling. Shredding the cardboard or paper
assists in breaking them down. Best thing to do is try it for
yourself and see if it is a practical way of recycling.

They decided to follow along with all the caravanning fads
So Grandma and Grandpa have decided to become travelling grey nomads
They found the perfect time to pack up and get out of their town
They left NSW a day before they went into a two month lockdown
It was clear that Grandpa had never driven a caravan before
On the first part of the journey all Grandma did was swore
“There is only one way we are going to get there and safely arrive”
Grandpa is now the passenger as he let Grandma drive
Now driving like a grandma is a term we often hear
I don’t think she has ever learnt to get out of second gear
In Adelaide the police pulled her over and insisted an exam
As she was the one responsible for a 235km traffic jam
So to South Australia I had to fly to get the caravan
Because Grandma and Grandpa both earned a lifelong ban
We were so close to the border but Grandma stopped for the latrine
We were 20min too late and ended up in quarantine
Fourteen day in Bordertown stuck in a tiny caravan
Wasn’t on the itinerary or even in the plan
They even sent out some nurses to administer a Covid test
Roadhouse food and rest rooms are something I now detest
After fourteen day in hell we were finally ready to go
My sanity had become a thread that was decaying very slow
The car spluttered across the border as it had been sitting way too long
But finally we went across the boundary to the state which I belong
SA was far behind us and in Western Australia we drove
Then we saw some kind of commotion coming from up the road
We hit a line of traffic we were in for more delays
Then McGowan locked us down for another 14 days
