Future of Bodallin Hall - Request for Comment
For a number of years now, the Bodallin Hall has not been used at all by the Bodallin
community and due to the lack of usage and ownership by the community, it has
fallen into disrepair. Whilst the Hall served the community well in its heyday, the lack
of usage in recent years has forced Council to seriously consider the Hall’s future.
Therefore, in response to the above, Council is seeking public comment from the
Bodallin community on the future of the Bodallin Hall. It is important all residents of the
Bodallin community have the opportunity to have their say on the Hall’s future as this
will enable Council to determine whether the building is retained or demolished.
Council can see no purpose in allocating funding to this building on a yearly basis
when there is no benefit to the community.
An assessment of the buildings immediate to long-term maintenance requirements
will be undertaken as well as public comment sought prior to Council decision on the
Hall’s viability.
Council is encouraging people to forward any comments by the close of business on
Friday 31st July 2020.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further please contact the undersigned on 9049
1001.

Comedy Gold Tour 2020
One of the funniest touring Comedy Shows going around Australia "Comedy Gold" is back and this year
the lineup is filled with Western Australia's most diverse, funniest, newest and most recognizable
Standup Comedians.
Introducing the comedians to you:
Your M.C Cameron McLaren is a giant of the Perth comedy scene and was awarded "Best Comedy at
the WA Fringeworld”. Cameron has sold out Fringe shows across the country and was handpicked by
the producer of Channel 7 to be the audience MC of Telethon. The West Australian described him in
this role as "There is a genuine sense of fun in his delivery…this proves infectious."
Cameron is fun and loveable but can flirt with the line if the occasion requires. The audience are
instantly put at ease with his silliness and you can tell he truly loves what he does.
First up is new kid on the block Frankie who is on her first comedy tour. A newbie to Standup Comedy
she is on work experience for this tour but don't be fooled she has a bright future ahead of her. Frankie
has great stage presence and a warm charm about her.
Next up is one of the fastest rising comedians on the Australian Circuit Emma Krause and the
interesting thing is she only started comedy at the age of 40. Yes, that's right, at 40 she said it was time
to let go of the idea of what anyone thought of her and live out one of her desires to do comedy, so
she adopted a 'Just Do It' attitude and has since smashed into the comedy scene!
Most recently, she auditioned for Australia’s Got Talent and she was encouraged by the judge’s
response.
“Emma... you need to keep doing this, because you do it very, very, very well.... I’d watch your
gig anywhere... that was fantastic!” - Shane Jacobson.
“I’m so glad you’re doing this, because I’m a Mum myself and if you don’t laugh, you’re gonna cry.”
- Lucy Durack.
Her comedy routine was chosen to be one of 30 acts that remained in the Australia’s Got Talent 2019
series as she progressed through to the Semi Finals.
Your Feature act is none other than Peter Rowsthorn who is a Comedy Icon and Veteran of more than
30 years on Australia's Stages and T.V's. One of the most recognizable and much loved comedians,
Rowsthorn is a high energy, fast paced standup comedian one minute and a measured character actor
the next.
Most recently, Peter has appeared regularly on "Thank God You're Here" series 1, 2, 3 and 4, popped
up on "Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation" and can currently be seen hosting the delightful “Can We Help”
on the ABC on Friday nights. But Peter is probably still best known as long-suffering husband and
pants-man Brett Craig on “Kath & Kim”.
W.A this is a great opportunity to reward yourself, get together with family and friends and come out
and have a great belly laugh whilst supporting local comedians and venues.

Building a drought resilient Australia
Regional Australia is set to benefit today as the Australian Government gets on with the job of building national wide drought
resilience.
The Australian Government has invested $3.9 billion, which will grow to $5 billion, in the forward-thinking Future Drought
Fund (the Fund).
Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, David Littleproud, said this long-term, sustainable
investment will make $100 million available each year to help our farmers and communities become more prepared for, and
resilient to, the impacts of drought.
“Drought is an enduring feature of the Australian landscape. It has economic, environmental and social impacts on our
farmers, communities and landscape,” Minister Littleproud said.
“I’m excited to announce the Future Drought Fund’s programs are starting to roll out from July 2020.
“These programs will give farmers and communities the tools they need to prepare for, manage and sustain their
livelihoods during droughts.
“The programs have been developed based on expert advice from the independent Consultative Committee, led by Mr Brent
Finlay, a fourth generation farmer, as well as valuable input from communities and industry during last year’s national public
consultation tour on the Drought Resilience Funding Plan.
“The programs will help farmers to build resilience and prepare for future droughts.”
“We are funding farm business planning, greater access to information for decision-making, adoption of research and
technologies, and building the drought resilience of natural resources such as soil and vegetation in agricultural landscapes.
“Communities will also benefit through improved regional planning, strengthening networks, leadership and community
capabilities and small-scale infrastructure projects.
“This is the first suite of programs to be delivered under this initiative initially for one year. We will continue to monitor and
adapt programs to make sure they are building resilience and delivering for farmers and the community.
“I expect to make a further announcement on the allocation of the remaining funds after the roll out of these initial
programs”.
The Future Drought Fund is an important part of the Government’s Drought Response, Resilience and Preparedness Plan to
deliver the support Australian farmers and communities need to be sustainable and productive.
Further details on each program will be available as implementation arrangements are finalised at
http://www.agriculture.gov.au/ag-farm-food/drought/future-drought-fund
The eight programs, totalling $89.5 million, are:
The $20m Farm Business Resilience program will provide farm businesses with training to strengthen their strategic
business management skills and develop a farm business plan to build risk management capacity and drought resilience.
The $10m Climate Services for Agriculture program will fund the development and delivery of interactive digital ‘climate
information services’ for the agriculture sector to assist farmers to make real-time decisions.
The $3m Drought Resilience Self-Assessment Tool will provide an online self-assessment tool for farmers to self-identify
drought risks based on a range of social, economic and environmental indicators, and take action to build the drought
resilience of their farm business.
The $20.3m Drought Resilience Research and Adoption program will establish two regionally located Drought Resilience
Adoption and Innovation Hubs, and Innovation Grants will become available to research organisations, private sector,
industry, not-for-profit organisations and community groups.
The $15m Natural Resource Management (NRM) Drought Resilience program will fund regional NRM bodies to
undertake projects to build drought resilience of natural resources on agricultural landscapes, and there will also be grants
available to organisations, farmer groups and individuals to undertake NRM projects to build the drought resilience of
natural resources on small scales.
The $3.75m Networks for Building Drought Resilience program will support community-driven projects that enhance
drought resilience and strengthen networks, including small-scale infrastructure projects to make community facilities
drought resilient.
The $7.45m Drought Resilience Leaders program will develop leadership capability in communities and include a
mentoring component to foster uptake of innovative practices to build drought resilience of farmers and their businesses.
The $10m Regional Drought Resilience Planning will provide funding to consortia of local councils or equivalent entities to
develop Regional Drought Resilience Plans for agriculture and allied industries.

The Yilgarn Mixed Basketball Association would like to take the
opportunity to thank our sponsors Minjar Gold, Blackman Fabrications
and SHAC Electrical Services for their financial support for our
2019/2020 season.
We would also like to acknowledge the Shire of Yilgarn for their
support during the 2019/2020 season and their ongoing assistance
throughout this year. We would also like to take the opportunity to
thank the volunteers that came down each week to help:
The umpires: Stuart Anthony, Tony Dal Busco and Mark Watts who umpired every week and for those
who were shift workers and umpired when they could, Andrew Crafter and Gavin Chrisp. We would
also like to thank Kristian Lewis from Myelec who umpired for us during the grand finale.
The scorers: Felicity, Alexa and Kelly Watts who would help the scorer’s table every week from scoring
to selling water.
We would also like to thank Joel Kent for all his help with his training sessions for beginners and his
help with teaching people and coaching teams on game nights.
It was a very unusual season this year due to Covid-19 and the roof being re done at the complex but
we would like to thank everyone for their patience during this time, and thank everyone for a great
season and we would hope to see everyone back for the 2020/2021 season
Thanks

Did You Know?
Did you know the Yilgarn Agricultural Society was formed in 1926? The first show in 1932 was held in
the Mechanics Institute, opposite the present two-story café. It received whole hearted support from
the population. The following year in 1933 a similar show was held in Liddle’s garage, behind the
present supermarket, the Institute having been burnt by an arsonist.
The venue for the next three years was moved to the Greater Sports Ground, an area opposite the
present hospital. Pavilions were erected, using bush timber and second-hand iron and tarpaulins. This
was depression times and money was scarce. The livestock exhibits was one of the main features of
the show. Clysdale stallions gave exhibitions of their pulling power. Popular events included ladies
hack, gents hack, bulls and milch cows, pigs and sheep. The wool section had only one class ‘the best
fleece of merino wool.’
Trophies were also awarded for ‘Best Farm’ allocated on a points system for crop, fallow, stock, layout,
general condition of the farm, and economical working. The district cropping competition was judged
on about 50 acres, and fallow competition on 150 acres. Vegetable section was divided into reticulated
farms and non-reticulated.
Months of hard work by lady exhibitors was required for best display of farm and home products, with
the principal ingredients produced on the farm. This included cakes, preserves, pickles, sweets, home
cured hams and bacon, toilet soap, sand soap, cheese, candles, etc. However by 1937 farming was at
low ebb, with many farms abandoned because of the depression. Tractors had also taken the place of
those magnificent horses. So in 1937 the sixth show was somewhat similar to the first.
It was held in the town hall and advertised as ‘spring show and curio exhibition.’ It was to be the last
show until 1957 when the Yilgarn Agricultural Society was reformed.
