Garage Sale Trail launches in Isaac Isaac residents are being encouraged to choose to reuse at the nation’s biggest garage sale!
Musician Josh Pike is one of around 350,000 Australians who support the annual Garage Sale Trail.
Garage Sale Trail is a multi-award winning sustainability and community campaign powered by local Councils, on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October 2017. Isaac Mayor Anne Baker said it’s about bringing communities together and promoting reuse. “Garage Sale Trail is a unique opportunity for residents to clear out their pre-loved items, find treasure, meet the neighbours and have some fun. “Council is proud to be actively involved in bringing this national initiative to our region. “Garage Sale Trail helps people think about how we can all take responsibility for the waste we create. “Recycling is great but reuse is even better. It extends the life and value of what we buy and takes pressure off the planet’s resources. “It’s an idea that’s good for the planet and good for community too. “Connected communities are the happiest, healthiest and most resilient,” Mayor Baker said.
The event exists to create positive social and environmental change in communities across Australia. Registration is free and open from today (August 10) at garagesaletrail.com.au Facts and Figures •

Colleens walk for cancer update contributed by Colleen Nicholas
The WA south coast was keen to send me off in spectacular fashion I think! What a week!! As each new day represents one step closer to my final destination I think my resilience to all things Bibbulman seemed to increase as well. These last few days have led me over sand ridges, that gave me incredible views to the coast and the pounding, enormous sea. I ascended through Peppermint and Sheoaks, climbed a couple of stiles that covered barbed wire fences. These boulders were absolutely huge. They look as if a giant has just thrown a tin of marbles and they have landed randomly. I crossed large granite slabs with massive boulders about. There were creeks to cross but thankfully no boots full of water. More ridges to climb that gave excellent views over Light's Beach before I descended to do the crossing of the beach. Of course, my heart was in my mouth again as with the high seas the waves were coming right into the inlet past the wooden stairs I had to reach. So - I watched the waves for a while to work out the sequence and the best time to do the dash!! I was a 100 metre sprinter from way back, but I think I still have some degree of speed and hurdling left in me! A very quick dash for the wooden stairs between waves and an enormous hurdle over the last deep wash!! Eat your heart out 'Bolt'. I did mine with a 17kg backpack! The two days before my arrival in Albany saw some horrendous weather. I was caught in several wild rain
squalls with very strong wind gusts and to top it off several episodes of hail where I had to turn my back to the wind as it was blasting the face. I kept thinking "far out" what on earth am I doing walking this challenging track in a crazy storm with hail! The dawn of my final morning on the track and the rain bucketed down till 8am. I waited till it eased before leaving the hut. There was no holding me back as I was on a mission to complete this journey. I was a like a horse bolting for the yards after a big days’ muster. I had to keep reminding myself to stay focused!! No slipups on this homerun. I appreciated all the last sections of the 12.5kms. It was hard on the feet to walk for kilometres on bitumen. I felt as if the cars were driving too fast, too much noise and too many houses. I think I have become a scrubber' - used to peace and quiet! However, I am sure I will adapt quickly. It was strange arriving at the Southern Terminus. I kept thinking ""ho hum! Yep, I have just walked from Kalamunda to Perth but no big deal. So, I signed off on the last register and was on a mission to have a hot shower. How amazing that shower was. The boots and socks are definitely "on the nose"! I just hope a sniffer dog at the airport does not start doing backflips as an inspection of a garbage bag holding the offensive items would cause an immediate gagging reflex!! Perhaps I will frame the socks as they have caused me such angst, pain, debate, discussion of yes or no, gritting and gnashing of teeth, frozen my feet, caused loss of toenails and a blister to be proud of and the worst 5 minutes each morning pulling them on. On the other hand, when dry they have warmed my feet and protected them. So I cannot warrant binning them. Too much life left in the pairs that have walked the 1000 kilometres to waste. I arrived in Albany with all the food supply finished. So I would have been chewing on imaginary food if I had been delayed! So ends my adventure. It will take time to digest it all as at the moment find myself rather "Hmm! Yep. Sooo?" Isaac... helping to energise the world

Colleens walk for cancer final update contributed by Colleen Nicholas
My Last Journal from the Bibbulmun Track "The Way is your Destination" Konfuzius A question I am asked many times. Why? Why would one do such a crazy thing as to plan a walk of 1000 kilometres? An answer - I love a challenge, I love the sense of adventure. I enjoy walking and doing it solo. I thrive on the peace and solitude. But I also grow and develop on pushing my perimeters and comfort zones. We are never too old for that!! Last year I completed the Camino in Spain The Way of St. James. It started in St. Jean Pier du Port in France and I went over the Pyrenees into Spain, through Santiago and on to Finesterre on the coast. An awesome adventure of 916 kms. I decided that I would love to do the equal Australian challenge and more importantly to do it as a fundraiser for Cancer. This became a whole new focus and it was a journey of wonderful love, support, donations and amazing interest from so many special people. I thank Melinda, Richard and Christina, Bruce and Laura, Leonard and Sarah and my special grandchildren. They have believed in me enough to enable me to go for 8 weeks (even trained me to use a compass to find my way home!) Also, my Mum and Dad. I realize this has been a challenge for them. It is just as well Dad does not have a Weather App on a mobile phone or he would have demolished all the data checking up on me. A very special and HUGE thank you to Shontae for managing my Facebook and other media. I did the walking. Shontae the talking. You are amazing Shontae. Many thanks. To all the wonderful supporters, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for your donations to the Cancer Council. The funds are way beyond what I ever dreamed or aimed for. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I sorely needed those at times when the going was tough and it helped me to continue my journey. I realize I have compared myself to an animal in many journals. Piker bullocks not wanting to come out of the scrub! A duck frantically paddling the canoe! Howling like a dingo on top of an exhausting sand dune! Backing up to the wind and hail like a cow! Bolting on the home run like a horse! I assure you I have not lost the plot due to isolation or challenges! Interesting that one can have the comparison! I have huffed and puffed, been totally exhausted, exhilarated, been in awe and amazed. I have wept and I have laughed with joy. It has proved to be an amazing experience. I hope that everyone has enjoyed reading my journals. I have attempted to paint a picture for all those unable to do such a walk, to share and experience some of the Bibbulmun Track. I will inform you all of the final fundraising total for the Cancer Council when it is complete. Amazing support, thank you once again.
If you have donated items to St Vinnies and left them on the footpath or at the back of the building on Sunday July 30 or Monday July 31, please call in and ask for Caroline. Isaac... helping to energise the world

CLASS DESCRIPTION Gut and Butt Blast Is a target class that focuses on strengthening and toning the nine core divisions of the abdominal plane, simultaneously blasting the three muscles of the buttocks, hamstrings and quadriceps. This will increase fat metabolism at rest and help slim and tone those problematic areas. Although not targeted, general whole body conditioning applies and while challenging, is more than suitable for any fitness level. Open gym This is your opportunity to use the gym facilities, there will be a basic weights program and WOD on offer for your utilisation, or you could just be creative and do your own training.
Muscle is metabolically active tissue, so the more muscles you work the more calories you burn. The more calories you burn, the more productive your workouts will be and the faster you will lose fat. Circuit training This is a form of body conditioning or resistance training using high-intensity/low-intensity aerobic energy. It targets strength building and muscular endurance. An exercise ‘circuit’ is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. It is highly enjoyable and recommended to all levels of fitness. Lets lift This program has been designed to target the eight large muscle groups in a 45 minutes whole body workout. This is achieved through the use of barbell and dumbbell weights.
