Narloo Easter 2021 Trip

used in calendar

Track Care has a long association with restoring Narloo Homestead. So this year, Track Care and the Four Wheel Drive Club of WA are jointly planning to visit the former pastoral lease, Narloo Station in the Yalgoo Region (not Gnarloo Station on the coast north of Carnarvon).

The trip is still in the planning stage, but it will not be all work. Plenty of interesting activities are already on the horizon such as:
🚙Working bee and minor repair work on the Narloo homestead and facilities – so that’s the work bit!;
🚙Surveys of the station tracks to determine suitability for 4WD use;

🚙The premier outdoor screening of the movie ‘Road to Ruin’ presented by Geoff Lewis of Seriously Series;
🚙Photography workshops by Westralian Images;
🚙Camp oven cooking and Travel Buddy Oven workshops;

🚙Ian Glyde (State Manager WA & NT Hema Maps Pty Ltd) will workshop navigation devices / products;
🚙Austravel Safety Network members will talk about their not-for-profit High Frequency (HF) Radio Club, which provides an affordable recreational HF radio network for its members that can establish vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle to base communications (i.e. radio-telephone).  This service can establish verbal communications with anyone connected to an in-service landline or mobile phone.    

👍Plus, more!

Landscape and Nature Photography Exhibition

From dazzling wildflowers to scenic wetlands and soaring cliffs, the Western Australian Outback is a place of wonder – and the source of some very special landscape and nature photography.

This month, Partnership for the Outback, Create Ranger Parks and Track Care WA are delighted to present a showcase of stunning photography from the Pilbara, Mid West and Gascoyne in The Heart of Our Outback: Landscape and Nature Photography Exhibition running until December 10 at the upstairs gallery at The Jaffle Shack in Subiaco.

As a supporter of Create Ranger Parks, we’d love you to see the amazing photography on display, share the beauty of our WA Outback and inspire you to wander out yonder.

One of the best ways of ensuring that our natural wonders and wild landscapes are protected and can be enjoyed by all of us is by investing in national parks.

We look forward to updating you on what you can do to make sure that new national parks, jointly managed by Traditional Owners, continue to be created as a part of our COVID economic recovery into 2021.

We hope you get enjoy this wonderful exhibition!

At the opening event Kingsley Kau (photographer), Tim Nicol (PEW Charitable Trusts), Linda Gonclaves (Partnership for the Outback) and Graham Weber.

Another successful NRM Grant application !

Track Care is finishing 2020 on a high! We have been awarded a 2020 State NRM Program Community Stewardship Grant of $5650 to erect signage to protect a wetland within the Wandoo National Park.

The Wandoo National Park has the Warrigal claypan wetland, which is a seasonal shallow and vegetated clay-based wetland. This type of wetland has high conservation values such as containing a large number of local endemic plant species, including priority and threatened flora.   This type of wetland is also noted for its richness in aquatic macroinvertebrates and is a habitat for a variety of frog species. Most of the wetlands in the south west have been cleared and drained after European settlement, and only those that still remain in near pristine condition are located in national parks and nature reserves.
