Men’s Shed– Harvey Bill James Bill was born on the 10th August 1963 at SJOG Hospital, Subiaco. His parents, Bill and Margaret, lived in Yarloop at the time. Bill still lives in Yarloop. Bill attended Yarloop Primary School and then completed his secondary schooling at Harvey Senior High. After completing school, Bill commenced work at the Yarloop timber mill. It was during this time in 1988 that he met his partner Darlene who was a Yarloop girl. Darlene was also employed at the time by the mill. Bill and Darlene have four children. Bill says although Darlene was only sixteen when they met, their partnership is still going strong. In 2012 Bill had transferred to the Dean Mill and while he was driving to work he suffered a major stroke which badly affected his right side. Bill has not allowed this to mar his outlook on life and with the support of Darlene and his family continues to enjoy life. When asked what Men’s Shed meant to him, Bill quickly answered that meeting up with the boys each week was a big thing for him together with the general camaraderie experienced within the group. He also looks forward to attending the Terrific Tuesday exercise classes and the afternoon indoor carpet bowls. Bill is a very active member of our team. www.swcommunitycare.org.au

Your Story
Bill and Elaine Jefferies Bill and Elaine met in 1966 while living in the Perth area and married in 1968. They have two children: a daughter, Simone who lives in Albany and a son, Kerran who lives in Karratha. They have five grandchildren and the exciting news of a great grandbaby due soon. In the seventies the Jefferies family moved to Greenwood where they set up their own glazing business– Domestic Glass Services. This kept them busy and working hard for ten years, after which they sold this business. They faced several challenges and then due to health reasons retired in 2004. Many a family holiday was spent camping at Koombana Bay Caravan Park and they came to really enjoy the area. When they retired they chose to move to Australind, where they have been ever since. Bill joined the Bunbury Fisheries Department as a volunteer and patrolled the beaches checking and reporting any suspicious behaviour or illegal activities to the authorities. He also discovered many secret and delightful fishing spots on his rounds! This cruisy couple have travelled fairly extensively and included river and ocean cruises in their trips. Among others they have cruised down the Volga River in Russia; along rivers in Vietnam and The United Kingdom and had a very eventful cruise around New Zealand. Vietnam holds special memories as it was here that 10

Australind - 9782 4050
Harvey - 9782 4000
Bill lost family and friends during the Vietnam War. On their trip, Bill and Elaine took 5 poppies to place at a memorial. These were the first ever placed there and this site has since grown with a vast number of poppies now on display.
More travel, exploring the Eastern States of Australia is on the cards, once travel restrictions have been lifted.
Bill and Elaine are both very keen gardeners and have a healthy-looking vegetable garden to harvest their fruit and vegetables. They are also delighted to have SWCC gardening assistance with Chris ensuring the lawns and garden beds always look neat and tidy. (check front cover photograph) Domestic assistance in their home, also allows Bill and Elaine to enjoy more time in their beautiful garden with their baby dog child– Bella.
