CROWD PLEASER! Community cheers Goldfields Giants to victory in Kambalda A jam-packed Kambalda stadium hosted a crowd of more than 450 people when the Goldfields community came together for a fun and exciting night to watch the Goldfields Giants take on Perry Lakes Hawks recently. The very vocal crowd got to witness a 94-89 victory for the Giants on the evening of Saturday, June 15, 2019. The win means the team now qualifies for the State Basketball STORY AND PHOTOS CONTINUE ON PAGES 16-17 League play offs for the first time since 2015.

Message from the Shire President
May 2019
Kambalda residents would be noticing the flurry of activity in and around the swimming pool enclosure during the
past few weeks. The contractors are making good progress with the works at the site with major excavation of the old
pipe work and removal of tiles in the pool shell. The engagement of a project manager for the pool upgrade is making
oversight of the pool work much more beneficial for Shire staff, with regular updates on the progress of work, whilst
enabling our staff to continue with their own tasks.
The recent announcement by State Sport and Recreation Minister Mick Murray, that the latest application from the
Shire for state government funding for the pool refurbishment had been successful, is a massive boost in confidence
for the community and the Shire. The amount of $700,000 from the State now reduces the funding gap to only
$400,000, which will greatly reduce the amount of Shire own funding required.
Coolgardie residents may have noticed the installation of several new street bins along Bayley Street last week. The
reason for these larger bins being the volume of waste received by residents and passing travellers depositing into the
older style bins and the birds being able to access the open bin, pulling the rubbish out, which then blew around on the
main street. The new bins fit in well with the amenity of Bayley Street, and hopefully we will have a much neater street.
With the resheeting work on the Kambalda Airport road now completed, the Shire Road Crew has commenced
maintenance grading of our gravel road network, with the first of these being Coolgardie North and Jaurdi Hills roads.
With the increased mining and exploration activity in the Shire in recent times, this has meant large volumes of both
light and heavy vehicle traffic on our road network, thereby increasing the cost of maintaining these roads. Shire
contractors have replaced and widened several sections of the bitumen road to Bonnie Vale, where the road surface
has broken up and suffered surface damage. As part of the Shire strategy to maintain and upgrade the road network,
we are continually juggling mining contributions, Regional Road Group funding along with Shire own funds in an
endeavour to maintain and upgrade these roads into the future.
The Shire was privileged recently with a visit to Coolgardie by newly promoted Federal Minister for Families and
Social Services, Anne Rushton. Shire Staff, CEO and myself hosted the Minister, Member for O’Connor Rick Wilson,
Secretary to Department of Social Services Kathryn Campbell, representatives of local governments from the City
Kalgoorlie/Boulder, Menzies, Leonora and Laverton on a tour to learn and assess the implementation and positive
impacts following the implementation of the CDC trial in the Goldfields region.
The Minister and entourage also visited the Coolgardie IGA store and met with the new owners to discuss their
experiences so far with the use of the CDC transactions in their store. The message from the Minister was for all the
local governments to continue to collect imperative evaluation data from throughout the region in an endeavour to
continue and extend the use of the card into the future.
The St John, Shire of Coolgardie Primary Health Alliance continues to gain momentum, with the recent launch of the
new community transport bus. The service will officially commence in July, with volunteers currently undertaking basic
training to be able safely transport residents to and from destinations in both Kambalda and into Kalgoorlie as well.
This will be a really great initiative and benefit to many of our residents that require transport in the community.
The annual state basketball event was held in Kambalda on Saturday, June 15. The basketball game was preluded by
a Goldfields football league match between the Kambalda Eagles and Mines Rovers.

Hi everyone,
School holidays are now upon us and if you are looking for ways to entertain the kids, our amazing Community and
Recreation staff have put together a variety of programs to keep them busy. Details of all these great activities are on page
6 and 14 of this Rambler.
Thank you to everyone who came down to support the Goldfields Giants vs Perry Lake Hawks basketball game in
Kambalda - what a great win by the Giants. We received excellent feedback from the players on our amazing facility, staff
and especially, the community that made them feel so welcome. The Shire is looking forward to planning next year’s game.
We held our inaugural Community Conversation day in Coolgardie on Saturday, June 22. What a fantastic turnout by over
30 community members who took the time to give valuable feedback on the exciting projects planned for Coolgardie.
There will definitely be more Community Conversation days in the near future for both towns.
The staff have working tirelessly these past few weeks for the end of financial year as well as planning for the future year.
We have posted our Corporate Business Plan and Long-Term Financial Plan on the Shire website if you would like to read
more. Staff have also been working on developing their action plans in each Department.
I have recently held some fantastic meetings with local residents who took advantage of my open door policy. Please
contact Bree my Executive Secretary on 08 9080 2111 to make an appointment if you want to chat.
Take care,
James Trail
Chief Executive Officer

Furry friends visit park for community action day
RSPCA Western Australia came to Coolgardie
Park on Tuesday, June 11, to deliver a community
action day.
The RSPCA regularly holds action days like these
for communities around the state, and offers
various free services during the event.
The event saw around 20 community members
attend with their dogs.
A huge thanks to Kalgoorlie Animal Hospital who
provided free health checks, de-sexing vouchers
and microchipping, while RSPCA WA inspectors
and our own Shire rangers, Wombat and Yvette,
monitored the event and had a chat to members of
the public.
Other benefits of the event included free dog food
and free flea and worming treatments. Around
15 dogs were vet checked and they were all very
well behaved.
Thank you to RSPCA WA for organising the event
and the Shire of Coolgardie Rangers Yvette and
Wombat for assisting.

Coolgardie Community Recreation and Resource Centres
Creative journeys at art therapy workshop
Art therapy classes were
held at the Coolgardie
Community Recreation
Centre on Sunday, June 23
and 29, 2019.
We have had a great turnout
when these classes are
offered, and look forward
to holding more again in
the future.
Art therapy is a form of
psychotherapy involving
the encouragement of free
self‑expression through
painting, drawing, or
modelling, and can be used
as a remedial or diagnostic activity. The practice helps one discover their inner self, explore their feelings and emotions and express
themselves subconsciously through art.
Our participants all went on a relaxing journey through their mind and the result was some beautiful artwork and stories of
empowerment. The first stage of the workshop involved a warm-up, during which participants drew a collection of circles and then
painted the resulting pattern in colours that each person was drawn to the most.
After a quick break for lunch, we jumped into the main activity of creating a picture of ourselves – imagined as a superhero. This was
a very thought-provoking exercise that brought our a lot of stories and emotions to the surface.
A huge thank you to Carlie, our art therapy guide, who delivered the workshop, and we can’t wait for more in the future.

The first wedding in Coolgardie
Clara Saunders was living in Southern
Cross with her mother and sisters when
Evan Wisdom - the licensee of the
Exchange Hotel in Coolgardie - returned
to Southern Cross looking for a woman to
assist Mrs. Fagan, the wife of the manager
with the domestic work.
Although Clara was only 15 at the time,
she was mature for her age and keen to
take up the opportunity. She already had
experience helping her brother-in-law in
his hotel while her sister was pregnant with
their fifth child.
It was April 1893 when she came to
Coolgardie, and quickly made friends with
another girl named Florrie Cheshire.
In June of 1893, Paddy Hannan was
travelling back to Coolgardie following his
find at what became known as Hannans.
On the way he ran out of water. He filled
his water bags with brown water from a
clay pan, which resulted in him getting
dysentery. He carried on to Coolgardie to
seek help.
The little Irishman went to the Exchange
Hotel and asked for a room, but there were
none available. Clara, seeing how sick he
was, offered up her own room and looked
after him. She mended a hole in his water bag, gave him Early in the New Year, Mrs. Fagan left for Hannans with

declared it an “accidental death”. Clara went to the funeral
(Jack’s grave is in the pioneer cemetery) and as she had
neither Mrs. Fagan nor her best friend Florrie there for
support, she felt terribly depressed and alone.
Arthur Williams, who ran the billiards room at the hotel,
tried his best to comfort her, but it took some time for her
to recover from Jack’s death.
Shortly after the tragedy, Evan Wisdom left the hotel and
Coolgardie. Mr. De Baun asked Clara if she would take
over the dining room at his hotel, The Great Western, and
she agreed.
In the meantime, Arthur Williams had been doing all he “The couple was pelted with

The Road to Old Coolgardie
A poem written by Victor Churchill Dale (copyright)
There are no mile pegs on the road A man must pride his yesterdays
Nor is it kind by scenic view Accept the value in his past
Furrowed ruts of the big dray wheel Should he wrestle with tomorrow
Are broken in the horse’s shoe Against where time may call her last
Summer leaves on the distant haze Fate deals her hand the unseen card
And winter brings her bitter cold While law of chance sits in between
A man must search his sanity A hungry family far away
When he’s drawn to the lure of gold Or the prayer that’s beside my dream
My soul is driven on the dream Seven long days from Southern Cross
Where water holes are far and few I walked with the strong and hardy
And I’d trade a year of Sundays I camped those days among good men
To taste a good old English stew On the road to old Coolgardie
My boots groan with the heavy load I walked the road many would follow
And the miles pass me in their grace In the days when our years were bold
‘Til the twinkle of the campfires I came the way of pioneers
Sits gentle on the stranger’s face We walked the outback lure of gold

Monthly focus from Ranger Services
Have you recently taken on the joy of owning a pet or just moved to town with pets?
If you answered yes, are they microchipped and registered with the Shire of Coolgardie?
If you answered yes again, then high five to you and thank you for being a responsible pet owner.
If you answered no, then here’s what you need to do:
1. Arrange with your preferred vet to get this done or organise a time and date with our local Ranger, Kevin, aka
“Wombat”, to have your pet microchipped at a cost of $65.
2. Gather your pet’s details including their microchip number and sterilisation certificate.
3. Attend your local recreation centre with your pet’s info and complete a registration form and pay the required fee
as per below: (Please note a 50% discount off the below prices are available for pensioners who present a valid
pension card.)
Dogs Sterilised Unsterilised
1 year $20 $50
3 years $42.50 $120
Lifetime $100 $250
Cats Sterilised ONLY
1 year $20
3 years $42.50
Lifetime $100
Why register and microchip your pet?
• In the event of your pet getting lost or stolen, microchipping is an excellent way of identifying your beloved pet and
being able to reunite them with their rightful owner.
• If for some reason your pet escapes and is found wandering, if it is wearing its collar with registration tag, the
person who has found your pet can call the Shire and provide the tag number. The Shire can then attempt to

we have had a busy term 2 within the
Shire of Coolgardie.
Whilst during term 1 we focused on
building awareness and referrals into the
service with lots of community activities,
term 2 changed direction with focus on
service delivery.
Many families have been provided with
screenings of their child’s speech and
language skills, and functional skills for
learning through the speech pathologist
and occupational therapist. Some
families have also commenced further
sessions to work towards their goals set
by parents and therapists.
We were lucky enough to have two
fourth-year OT students with us in term

services to clients referred to OT.

The concept of judging is one of the most misunderstood in the Christian DETAILS

quote Jesus’ words “Judge not, that you may not be judged” (Matthew 7:1). Jesus goes on to say “For with

The idea that a person should never judge is absurd and impracticable. We allCommunity
Coolgardie judge at times. We make judgements

on who we will allow into our house, who we want to be our friends, whether Centre
Recreation one school or hospital is better than
another, and we judge one politician or political party as better than another. People also choose one faith or
ideology as being superior to another. Coolgardie Community 9080 2111

The kind of judgement Jesus warned us of was a self-righteous, judgemental attitude where we look down on

someone else while ignoring the flaws and sins in our own life. InCardMatthew
Shop7:3 Jesus said “And why do you look on

the splinter that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?” He goes on to
command that we take the plank out of our own eye before attempting to remove

One time while Jesus Himself was being judged by His critics He said “Don't judge by appearances. Judge by what
Warden Finnerty’s Residence 9026 6028
is right.” (John 7:24) In reality, proper judgment can save a person from much grief in this life. Judging righteously
encompasses not playing favourites, not judging before you have all the facts, and ensuring you are not judging
while being in a state of denial. Judging righteously requires humility and not putting oneself in the place of God.
