Federal Priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the Move
Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade. This growth, combined with significant developments in Derby and around the Perth CBD, is placing increasing strain on an already Great Northern Hwy Broome Fitzroy Crossing over-stretched transport network. Halls Creek The continued prosperity of regional Western Australia, primarily driven by the resources sector, has highlighted that the existing Wickham roads do not support the current Dampier Port Hedland or future resources, Karratha tourism and economic growth, both in terms Exmouth of road safety and Tom Price handling increased Great Northern Highway - Coral Bay traffic volumes.

NORTH FREMANTLE RAILWAY BRIDGE COLLAPSE 1926 an Accident Waiting to Happen?
NORTH FREMANTLE RAILWAY BRIDGE COLLAPSE 1926 An accident waiting to happen? Heather Campbell In July 1926 very heavy rains in the South West of Western Australia caused ‘extensive washaways’ in the railway system1 and were thought to be responsible for the collapse of the Fremantle Railway Bridge on 22 July of that year. This was the second railway bridge across the Swan River and had been opened in November 1895. The first bridge, completed in August 1880, was for construction traffic for the Fremantle – Perth – Guildford railway line. This second bridge, was more substantial than the first and capable of taking heavier locomotives.2 The condition of the bridge caused comment almost from its opening. In December 1897 concern was expressed about its stability due to dredging of the harbour, the strength of the tide and the potential for cargo boats and steamers to collide with it3. Again, in October 1903, ‘some alarm’ was expressed but the foundations were found to be safe and secure4. None the less, in August 1905 questions were again being asked about the ‘dangerous nature of the substructure’ of the bridge.5 Fremantle Railway Bridge and houses on Riverside Road, Fremantle, 1907 (SLWA 009669PD) Location of the 2nd railway bridge, c 1890s? (SLWA MAPR0000346) Its condition remained a concern and in 1911: ‘… a couple of engine-drivers got a sudden shock the other day when crossing it. They swore that they distinctly felt the bridge rocking beneath the train, and heard ominous noises. The matter was reported at once, and the station masters from Fremantle and North Fremantle procured an engine and investigated things. -

Discover Swan River Kayaking
Tour Information Discover Swan River Kayaking Spend a relaxing morning kayaking on the tranquil waters of the Swan River at Matilda Bay. On this tour you will be expertly guided through the use of all kayaking and safety equipment before you venture out onto the water. The guided tour will take you past the iconic Blue Boat House, Eliza Sculpture, Old Swan Brewery and the Narrows Bridge, before beaching up at South Perth Foreshore overlooking Elizabeth Quay. Along the way you may encounter black swans, pelicans, or even the occasional dolphin. This tour is a great introduction to the popular sport of kayaking. Blue Boat House The Blue Boat House or the Crawley Edge Boatshed as it’s officially known, sits on the Swan River just below Kings Park and is a Perth icon. It has been around since the 1930’s and has weathered decades of storms and floods. In 2004, the boathouse was repainted a beautiful blue colour and re-launched by triple solo-circumnavigator of the world Jon Sanders and single solo-circumnavigator David Dicks. On our tour you will have the chance to visit the inside of the Boatshed and gaze upon the history still stored there. Eliza Sculpture The Eliza Sculpture is a bronze sculpture in the Swan River, near Matilda Bay. Eliza is named after Mount Eliza, the hill which Kings Park sits upon overlooking the river and the city, which was so called after the wife of Governor Ralph Darling, an early Governor of New South Wales. The name was given by Captain James Stirling.
