Artist brings award winning series home

MARGARET River photographer Danielle Fitzgerald will open her rst solo exhibition, Venus 8: Flesh & Foam, at gallery ths this November as part of the 2025 Head On Photo Festival Open Program.

Created over four years in the backstage spaces of Perth clubs and in collaborators’ homes, Venus 8 is a documentary series made in collaboration with dancers and workers.

e portraits are co-authored, resisting stereotypes, celebrating identity, culture, and the complexity of humanity.

“Coming from a social work background, I’ve always been drawn to stories of resilience and visibility,” the artist explained.

“Photography has become my way of showing those truths with honesty and respect.

“ is work honours the collaborators’ resilience, solidarity, and the agency woven through each portrait.”

One collaborator, Valerie, re ected: “Being able to contribute to this project has put me in tears more times than I’d like to admit.

“It’s such a blessing to see myself represented as so much more than ‘content’ or a ‘product.’”

e project has already received national recognition.

e photograph Rinse was a nalist in the Galah Regional

Photographic Prize 2025 and awarded Top 30 Documentary at the Australian Photographic Prize 2025, while images Joy and Inbe-

tween were awarded at the Mono Awards 2025.

Danielle gained a semi nalist position in the ‘Exposure’ Category for Head On 2025, with an image from the series that will be shown in Bondi, NSW. is exhibition will mark the rst time the series is shown in Western Australia.

Danielle said it was particularly important for her to show the work in her hometown.

“To have Venus 8 shown in my hometown as part of an international festival is powerful.

“ ese stories were created here in WA, and it feels right that they’re rst seen in the place that

shaped them.”

She said support throughout the process had been essential.

“I’m incredibly grateful to Melinda and Shayne at gallery ths for supporting this work and providing a space in Margaret River where art can open conversations and community, and to Moshe and the team at Head On for their support in platforming artists and new voices,” she continued.

Venus 8: Flesh & Foam opens Saturday 15 November at 6.30pm at gallery ths, 4 Burton Road, Margaret River.

Warm hearts take cold plunge

e Margaret River Montessori School community turned out in true local spirit on Sunday morning, as 25 brave sta and families took the plunge o the Gnarabup Jetty for the ‘Big Freeze,’ raising funds and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease WA (MNDWA).

At the time of the plunge, a remarkable $2,825 had already been raised, with donations still owing in.

e event was held in honour of Sue Gaunt, a much-loved former teacher, founding parent, and long-time supporter of the school.

Sue helped establish the school in the early 1990s and has remained a guiding gure for generations of students, sta , and families.

Recently diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, Sue continues to inspire the community with her grace and positivity.

“My MND journey began

nearly 3 years ago when I was struggling to speak clearly,” she said ahead of the event.

“Since then, with the love and support of my beautiful family and friends, together with the support of MNDWA, I continue to remain positive and enjoy the simple pleasures life o ers.

“Each day is a blessing.”

For many of those who took part, the chilly dip was more than just a challenge it was a heartfelt show of love and solidarity.

“Sue has given so much to our community over the years.

“ is was our way of showing her that we’re with her every step of the way and we’re hopeful for a future without MND,” event organiser Trish Murray said.

Donations are still open - to contribute to the cause, visit MRMS Fighting MND at www.mndawa.asn.au/ my-fundraising/4433/ mrms- ghting-mnd

Join the mission to end homelessness

Local housing advocacy group Just Home Margaret River is calling for motivated community members to join their ght against housing insecurity.

Chairperson Ned Reilly (pictured below, far right) said as the only voice for the cause based in Margaret River, Just Home had lled a “critical gap” for locals since 2015.

“With the housing crisis only increasing in severity in the past decade, it is more important than ever for local people to have a say about this critical issue,” he said.

Now, the group is searching for new members who can bring skills and stories to the table.

“Just Home is a true grassroots organisation, with much of our activity in the hands of a group of passionate volunteers,”

Ned explained.

“Without the commitment and dedication of these volunteers, we could not achieve our goals.

“I encourage those in the community who are keen to ensure equity and fairness for local residents to consider joining our ranks.

“We look forward to welcoming new committee members to the organisation, in particu-

lar those looking to take on the roles of Treasurer or Secretary to advance our organisational governance and increase our sustainability,” Mr Reilly said.

If you are passionate about social and housing justice and have the capacity to volunteer your time with an organisation making a real di erence in the place you live, submit an EOI by 21 October at justhome.org.au

Lost children remembered

NICKY LEFEBVRE

The Friends of the Margaret River Cemetery have been working to create a special installation to remember babies lost across the Shire over the past 175 years.

Working this weekend, the volunteer group placed 269 images of teddy bears to the cemetery fence to remember the lost children under the age of two - 89 of whom were stillbirths - to mark International Stillbirth and Pregnancy Loss Day, today Wednesday October 15.

“From the 1870s through to now, we wish to remember these children,” group spokesperson Pauline Graves explained.

“Whether they were born in a tent in a forestry camp

and buried in the bush; to early settlers who spread across the South West corner who also lost babes who were buried in cemeteries or elsewhere, and to all the others who died across the decades.”

Twenty six of the children also had siblings under the age of two, who had also passed.

The bears hold a name and date of death, with some families suffering the loss of multiple babies.

“So many families walked away through hardship or circumstance and left their babies here with us.

“We thought we’d like to shine a light on them all this year.”

Bio-advice from experts

LANDHOLDERS can now access expert advice on how to protect and restore the environment on their properties, thanks to biodiversity assessments offered by Nature Conservation Margaret River Region’s (NCMRR) expanded team.

The assessments are a response to demand from landholders wanting to better understand their biodiversity values and the steps they can take to support nature.

An assessment looks at vegetation and waterway condition, habitat values, and how well a property connects to other areas of remnant vegetation.

It also identifies current and future threats such as invasive weeds or feral animals, and provides a tailored plan to help landholders protect what remains or rebuild what has been lost.

Program manager Cass Jury said the expanded team was well placed to meet growing interest.

It also includes former NCMRR general manager Drew McKenzie, returning to lend his extensive expertise, alongside biodiversity officer Ben Howell.

“Biodiversity in our region is under real pressure, but the first step is understanding what you

have and how you can look after it,” Ms Jury said.

“Every patch of bush, every creekline, every stand of trees matters. When landholders act, they’re helping create healthier habitats not just on their property but across the whole landscape.”

The team has already carried out biodiversity assessments for Heytesbury Wine Group, Cape Mentelle, the National Trust and many private landowners.

“With summer on the way, it’s the ideal time to learn more about your property, what threats it faces, and how to support nature,” Ms Jury said.

“It’s exciting to see landholders taking ownership of biodiversity protection.”

For landholders needing help with weed control or revegetation, Nature Conservation also has a Bush Regeneration Team that can be contracted to carry out hands-on conservation work.

Biodiversity assessments start at a few hundred dollars for smaller properties and are priced according to land size, type of habitat and level of detail in the report. For more information or to get a quote or book an assessment, visit www.natureconservation.org.au or phone (08) 9757 2202.

Call for turtle trackers to step up

ENVIRONMENT

IT’S nesting season for the snake-necked turtle and Nature Conservation Margaret River Region is calling for volunteers to sign up as turtle trackers, helping to protect this vulnerable species in the Margaret River (Wooditjup Bilya).

Through the turtle tracker program, volunteers are trained to monitor nesting turtles, record their activity and install protective nest guards to improve the survival of hatchlings.

Nature Conservation’s Lauren Scanlon said the program was a unique opportunity for the community to play a hands-on role in protecting local wildlife.

“These turtles have been living in our waterways for millions of years, yet we still know surprisingly little about them in our river systems as a lot of the research has focused on wetlands,” Ms Scanlon said.

“By becoming a turtle tracker or logging a turtle sighting, locals can make a real difference to their future in the Margaret River.”

The snake-necked turtle is one of the South-West’s most unique animals, with its long, snake-like neck, dark patterned shell and ancient lineage.

As one of only a handful of freshwater turtle species in WA, it plays an important role in river ecosystems – and is well worth protecting for future generations.

Members of the community can also contribute by recording sightings via the free Turtle Sat app, which helps researchers map the distribution and nesting activity of turtles across the South West.

All data collected feeds into Murdoch University’s Saving Our Snake-necked Turtle (SOSNT) project, supporting vital research and conservation outcomes across WA.

Snake-necked Turtles face a range of threats including:

- Predation by foxes, roaming cats and dogs

- Disturbance of nests from recreation activities

- Habitat change and invasive grasses such as Kikuyu, which can trap hatchlings

- The impacts of climate change on freshwater systems

Locals are reminded not to pick up or move turtles.

Turtles crossing the road can be helped by stopping your vehicle and allowing them to cross safely.

“Every sighting logged and

every nest protected brings us one step closer to ensuring the survival of these special turtles,” Ms Scanlon said.

The Turtle Tracker program is funded and supported by the AMR Shire.

Break-ins result in postponement

MARGARET River BMX club has made the di cult decision to postpone its 2025/26 season start, due to multiple break-ins at its onsite shed.

“Unfortunately due to the numerous break-ins to the shed supplied by the Shire in our o season, we have decided to postpone season 25/26 from October Term Four, to February Term One,” the club announced on Facebook on Monday night.
