125 netballers from Great Southern, North West and Wheatbelt Goldfields netball associations were immersed in the grand heritage of The Perth Mint while learning about the value of gold to our nation ahead of the State Cup in October.
The regional netballers were treated to one-hour guided tour of the historic Perth Mint, including the Gold Exhibition and the original melting house, experiencing the emotive journey of gold discovery in Western Australia.
Sponsored by Ramelius Resources, Kellerberrin’s Black Ant Art Gallery was overflowing for the official opening of the 2019 Wheatbelt Art Prize, with artists, residents and sponsors enjoying over 150 pieces of local art on display.
The exhibition will remain open for two weeks and the artworks are for sale.
Supported by KCGM, Saracen Mineral Holdings and Ausdrill, their Black Dog Blue Dog Walk saw Todd Belcher, his partner Charlotte McCully and their two canine companions cross the finish line of an epic 630 km journey from Kalgoorlie to Perth, to raise awareness of mental health in the mining industry.
The two-week trip and six-month campaign aimed to raise $100,000 for the Black Dog Institute.
