When Amber Wilcox couldn’t nd a night out where she could scream-sing and dance to 80s diva power ballads, she organised one herself—and turned it into an $11,276.50 fundraiser for Radiance Network South West Inc.
Amber, a Busselton mum of two who works as a business analyst in the mining industry, said the idea came during a period of burnout while juggling work, parenting and a side business.
“I was a burnt-out, tired single mum who worked whenever I could carve out space between running a household and keeping two small humans alive,” Amber said.
“I desperately needed a night out where I could scream-sing to my favourite 70s and 80s diva power ballads.”
When she realised nobody else was running that kind of event, she decided to create it herself.
“We sold 150 tickets for the night!” she said.
While planning the event, Amber remembered the support she once received from Radiance Network South West during a di cult period of parenting when her husband was FIFO and family support was limited.
“ ey were a complete godsend to me as a mum,” Amber said.
“I’ve never forgotten that kindness. is felt like a really meaningful way to say thank you, all these years later.”
e fundraising events grew from Amber’s budgeting concept Queen of Coins, which evolved into the Bangers
nights—packed dance oor events built around nostalgia, connection and letting loose.
e rst event in January raised $3,035.90, while a second 90s-themed night in March raised $4,695.60.
In April, Amber also shaved her head to raise additional funds.
“I’ve always believed hair carries energy and memories, so shaving my head felt symbolic—letting go of a heavy chapter and starting again from scratch,” she said.
e head shave raised another $3,545, bringing the total raised in three months to $11,276.50.
CJ Heins, a Peer Advocate at Radiance, said Amber’s generosity had made a major impact.
“She just went ahead and did this
kick-ass event,” CJ said.
“If you haven’t been to one of her events, you have to! It’s about women coming together for a quick spurt of amazing fun.”
Radiance Network South West provides free peer-led perinatal mental health and wellbeing support for parents across the region.
“ e support comes from lived experience,” CJ explained.
“We understand. We can walk alongside them. We’re not trying to x them at all—we’re just there to listen.”
Amber said the organisation lled an important gap for struggling parents.
“Radiance steps in with support, compassion and zero judgement,” she said.
“ ey create space for women to breathe, cry, reset and feel supported again.”
Amber’s thoughtful insight that turned a budgeting concept into a room full of scream-singing women, is now the foundation for her newest venture, Somatic Money.
Combining her nance background
with her Kinesiology Diploma and trauma-informed somatic coaching training, Somatic Money helps women calm their nervous systems and rebuild their relationship with money.
“When you’re calm about money, life feels a little less heavy,” Amber said.
“More than anything, I just want women and their families to feel supported and know they’ve truly got this.”
Amber is running a two-hour reset on 19 June. Head to somaticmoney. com.au to join the waitlist.
Another Bangers night is already booked for the 2nd of October—this time bringing the Diva back with the best of the Noughties.

Student doctors settle in
FROM THE COVER
Future doctors training in Busselton were welcomed by City of Busselton councillors and staff this week at a civic event celebrating the Rural Clinical School of WA (RCSWA).
The City has long supported the program, which places medical students in regional communities to gain hands-on experience in rural healthcare settings.
This year, 13 penultimate-year medical students are based in Busselton, undertaking placements across South West hospitals, general practices and the South West Aboriginal Medical Service (SWAMS).
The Busselton cohort is part of a wider group of 117 students from The University of WA, The University of Notre Dame Australia and Curtin University studying across 15 rural and remote WA locations.
RCSWA Busselton Lead Medical Coordinator Dr Sarah Moore said students had quickly embraced both the clinical and community aspects of life in the South West.
“This year’s students have already participated in several local events including the Busselton Jetty Swim, Busselton Half Ironman, and the Margaret River Ultra.
“They have also immersed themselves in a variety of clinical placements and made the most of opportunities to learn about our local Indigenous history and culture,” Dr Moore said.
“I am optimistic that this cohort will achieve great success academically and look forward to many of them pursuing
a career in rural medicine.”
Mayor Phill Cronin said programs like RCSWA played an important role in supporting the future of regional healthcare.
“The Rural Clinical School of WA plays a vital role in encouraging medical students to experience regional practice first-hand and we are proud to support a program that helps build strong connections between students, local healthcare providers and the wider community,” Mayor Cronin said.
“It is wonderful to see students embracing everything our region has to offer, from community events and cultural experiences to hands-on clinical training. We hope their time in Busselton leaves a lasting impression and encourages many of them to return to the South West to live and practise medicine in the future.”
UWA student Maddy Haines said the South West placement had become much more than simply part of her
medical degree.
“The doctors, healthcare staff and wider community have been incredibly welcoming and supportive, creating an environment where I’ve been able to grow both personally and professionally.
“From experiencing local rodeos and exploring the region, to volunteering with the ambulance service and building strong friendships with fellow students, the experience has become about so much more than medical school alone.
“The South West feels like home for my partner and me.
“So much so that we recently bought a house in Busselton. As I continue settling into life here, I’m hopeful to remain in the region beyond internship and build my future medical career in the South West,” Maddy explained.

Festival cultivates sustainable message
HUNDREDS of people ocked to productive gardens, workshops and community events across the Margaret River region over the weekend as the Edible Gardens Festival wrapped up another successful year.
With sold-out workshops, packed open gardens and a soldout long table lunch, the festival drew visitors from across the South-West and beyond, all eager to learn practical skills around growing food, composting, sustainability and self-su ciency.
e third and nal day of the festival nished under sunny skies on Sunday, capping o a weekend lled with talks, demonstrations, garden tours and community connection.
Festival organiser Trev Paddenburg said the response re ected a growing desire for people to reconnect with food, nature and each other.
“In a world where people are feeling the pressure of soaring living costs, fuel prices, environmental degradation and a growing sense that ordinary communities are losing power to massive corporations and political interests, this festival o ered something deeply positive and empowering,” he said.
“People are looking for ways to become more resilient, more connected and less dependent on systems that o en feel broken or be-
yond their control.
“Growing your own food, sharing knowledge, supporting local growers and building stronger communities might seem simple, but these are powerful acts. It’s part of a quiet revolution.”
Across the festival, attendees explored productive gardens, swapped ideas and seeds, and learned from local gardeners,
growers and sustainability experts. e event also highlighted strong community collaboration, with volunteers, host gardeners, teachers, stallholders and local businesses all contributing to the festival’s success.
Trev thanked everyone involved in bringing the event to life.
“ is festival is built by community, for community,” he said.
“ e generosity of people willing to open their gardens, share their knowledge and donate their time is what makes the Edible Gardens Festival so special. e atmosphere across the weekend was incredibly upli ing.”
Festival organisers said the event also delivered positive environmental outcomes, with many attendees making use of the festival bus service, ridesharing or riding
bikes between venues to help reduce tra c and emissions.
Trev said the popularity of the event showed sustainable living was becoming increasingly important to many people.
“What we saw this weekend was hope in action,” he said.
“People want to feel empowered rather than overwhelmed. ey want practical skills. ey want stronger communities. ey want healthier food systems and a healthier environment for future generations.”
e festival was supported by the Shire of Augusta Margaret River, Margaret River Regional Environment Centre, Margaret River Mitre 10 and a wide range of local businesses and organisations.
Planning is already underway for next year’s festival.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON REDUCED SPEED LIMITS
RESIDENTS in the Shire of Augusta Margaret River are being called to share their thoughts on the region’s Safer Speeds Trial, 12 months on from the roll out of speed limit reductions.
The three-year trial began in May 2025 and covers around 550 local roads, in a partnership between the Shire of Augusta Margaret River and RAC - with support from Main Roads.
From Monday May 25, the community can participate in an online survey and access an interactive map, as well as attend in-person community engagement sessions over the next month.
The 12-month review is designed to help clarify the impacts of the trial so far and identify any areas where adjustments may be needed.
Shire President Julia Jean-Rice said the Shire was looking forward to hearing the community’s feedback in the 12-month review.
“Road safety is a priority for our Shire, and we are trialling this approach to help reduce the risk of serious crashes across our local road network,” Ms Jean-Rice said.
“Our roads are shared by residents, visitors, school families, cyclists and pedestrians. Now that the lower speeds have been in place for 12 months, we are keen to hear how it is going for our community.
“We appreciate the partnership with RAC and Main Roads in delivering this initiative and look forward to monitoring its impact over time.”
RAC Group Executive Social and Community Impact Terry Durant encouraged the community to provide feedback.
“One year on from the launch of the Safer Speeds Trial, the community has a great opportunity to tell us about their experiences on local roads,” Ms Durant said. “The trial is designed to create safer roads with fewer crashes, reducing the risk of serious injury and death and making town centres more welcoming.”
“Through the Trial, we aim to make a real difference in road safety across the community, for locals and visitors.”
The review will consider community feedback, along with findings from an interim evaluation, which will include analysis of speed and crash risk data.
The survey is open until Wednesday 24 June at yoursay.amrshire.wa.gov.au/safer-speeds-Trial-review.
leverage additional investment and support industry development, this funding
is designed to benefit the broader business community.”
Among the initiatives supported through the program is Innovation Cluster’s Future Founders program, which supports entrepreneurs aged between 16 and 25 through mentoring, leadership development and business training.
One of the program’s success stories is Busselton entrepreneur Max Tas, who launched cleaning business Spik n’ Span as a teenager and has since grown it to employ more than 20 staff.
“When I started, all I had
was a mop in the back of my car and a goal to grow the business. I didn’t know where to begin,” Mr Tas said.
After joining the Future Founders mentoring program, Mr Tas said it helped him “set goals, focus on growth and learn the language of business”.
Now a member of the Busselton Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr Tas said he hoped his journey would inspire other young people to pursue business opportunities locally.
Furtherto Dr Carole Peters Letter (Prescribed Burn Smoke Doesn’t Pass Pub Test, Letters, May 20).
Dr Peters commentary regarding cigarette smoking in pubs and clubs indicates the governments attempt to manage public risk in con ned private recreation areas.
While this may have a positive impact on employees and patrons, Dr Peters seems perfectly happy to continue to expose re ghters and rural landholders to severe bush re risk, by not supporting prescribed burning.
History tells us that prior to prescribed burning, our landscapes were ravaged by severe bush res across vast areas.
No broadscale prescribe re was implemented prior to 1961, and yet a million acres of long unburnt bushland was razed to the ground during the bush res in Dwellingup and Karridale of that year.
History is telling us a story here, and those who ignore it do so at their own peril.
A recent example of this will be burnt in the memory of Dunsborough residents who experienced an extreme bush re in the heart of their townsite.
Recommendations for a prescribed burn contained in the management plan for the Marri Reserve were ignored.
Fuel levels accumulated over 40 years, to a point where a high intensity bushre was inevitable, given a source of ignition.
is event is now a matter of history, do not ignore it!
While Marri Reserve is showing strong signs of recovery, the aftermath of the 2025 fire was heartbreaking for locals and visitors to the region.
Small region, big reputation
KIM SEIDLER WINE NEWS
THE Margaret River Wine Region has earned its place among the country’s most celebrated small-batch wine regions, producing more than 20 per cent of Australia’s premium wine despite accounting for less than 3 per cent of the nation’s total wine production.
It is a region that is not defined by scale.
Instead, Margaret River’s strength lies in its deep commitment to quality — wines made with care, character, beauty and a sense of Place that people across the globe recognise and love.
When The Real Review announced its Top Wineries of Australia 2026, Margaret River had every reason to feel proud.
Although the top honour went to a Yarra Valley winery, Margaret River claimed the second-largest share of producers on the list, showcasing the region’s standing as one of the country’s most respected wine destinations.
With a 9.3 per cent share, Margaret River performed exceptionally well, sitting just behind the Barossa Valley.
Five local wineries made the Top 50, led by Cullen at number eight, Moss Wood at 21, and Stella Bella at 34, with Vasse Felix at 36 and Howard Park at 46 rounding out a strong result for the region.
Aaron Brasher of The Real Review said Margaret River’s success comes down to two things: exceptional terroir and passionate people.
“The region has absolute suitability to really high-quality viticulture, which in turn makes for great wines,” Aaron said.
“Its ultramaritime climate ensures moderate temperatures and a low incidence of vineyard disease.”
“Grape growing is paramount in making great wine, but it also takes
passionate people to drive the process from vineyard to bottle, and in Margaret River, there’s resolute commitment from the region’s stakeholders to make the best wines possible.
“And it clearly shows in the results.”
Cullen and Moss Wood, both pioneers of the region, continue to set the standard and have long held places near the top of the rankings.
“We’re very pleased to be ranked so highly,” Moss Wood Winemaker and General Manager Hugh Mugford said.
“It’s a great recognition, and particularly encouraging to see a number of Margaret River producers achieving strong results alongside us.
“Our approach at Moss Wood has
always been viticulturally focusedaiming to produce the highest quality wines we can from our own vineyard, which we manage ourselves, by hand.
“It’s a long-term commitment, so it’s rewarding when that work is acknowledged.”
Stella Bella, now in its 25th year, is also earning growing recognition for the strength and consistency of its wines.
“Stella Bella is producing benchmark styles from the region, and their inclusion in the Top 50 this year is a testament to this,” Aaron said.
“Vasse Felix, Howard Park and Larry Cherubino also appear in the Top 50, so Margaret River as a region continues to really punch above its weight!”
and the region as a whole.
“It is absolutely amazing to achieve such a great rating in the Real Review again.
“Our focus on creating wines of individuality and quality from our southern Margaret River sites is as sharp as ever, and this rating is undeniable evidence that we are doing just that!”
“Well done to all the other Margaret River producers who rated well.
“We’re honoured to be listed alongside such great producers.
“This kind of recognition is invaluable for the region and helps reinforce our status as producers of world-class wines.”
Aaron believes Margaret River’s standing in the Australian wine in-
dustry is beyond question.
“It’s fitting that Margaret River accounted for nearly 10 pe of wineries in this year’s Top Wineries ranking,” he said.
The Real Review Top Wineries Awards recognise and reward excellence in wine through nationwide Top Wineries lists and major honours, including Winery of the Year and Wines of the Year.
The Top Wineries certificate is awarded annually to a select group of producers who consistently produce outstanding wine.
Margaret River’s strong performance reflects not only the five wineries that made the Top 50 but also the dedication of every producer, viticulturist, winemaker, and cellar hand working across the region.
The commitment to quality and the passion of our region’s winemaking teams continue to firmly place Margaret River on the national and global wine map.
Congratulations to Cullen, Moss Wood, Stella Bella, Vasse Felix, and Howard Park on your Top 50 placements.
And to all the Margaret River wineries who contribute to this regional recognition—whether you made the list or not—your collective dedication to excellence is what makes Margaret River Australia’s second-best-performing wine region.

Ginger and his sister Tuppy have always been together and need to find a new home together. They’re 12 year old friendly cats who are comfortable with visitors and they’ve lived happily with other cats and a couple of dogs. Ginger is a sweet, cuddly gentleman who enjoys long naps during and loves snuggling up with his favourite human, whether it’s on the couch or in bed. He also loves bird-watching from the window! Tuppy is the sweetest girl who loves to find the perfect spot to curl up and nap the day away. In the evenings, she loves a good play session with her favourite toys, especially when her human dangles them just right! Tuppy makes the cutest little noises when she gets pats, and her absolute favorite time of day is dinner time. Their adoption fee is $250.
Hi, I’m Lola a 10 year old lady who’s shy at first and will find a cozy place to chill while I settle, but in a quiet home I’ll soon come out of my shell. I love having my own space and will usually pick a favourite room where I feel safe and relaxed. Once I’m comfy, I’m incredibly affectionate with a loud, happy purr – and if I’m not getting enough attention, I’ll gently head bump you or demand pats! As a mature lady, I enjoy a calm lifestyle and spend most of my time lounging, but do have the occasional playful burst and love chasing laser pointers and feather toys. I’m happy to sleep on the bed or curl up in my cozy cat bed. I have a great appetite, so my food intake will need to be monitored as I can overeat if given the chance. Although I get along with my male foster cat, I would thrive best in a quiet home as the only pet, where I can relax and feel secure. My adoption fee is $150.
GEOCATCH is inviting local residents who live near the Broadwater Wetlands to play an active role in protecting its wildlife from predation by feral animals, with the launch of a new threeyear biodiversity project.
Hi, I’m Rosie! A 7 month old soft, silky, shiny and sweet girl. I’m a bit like a delicate rose that’s soft to touch and pretty to look at but if you try to pick me up my thorns can prick you as I don’t really like be lifted. I can be shy but also loving and follow you watching everything you do. Especially if you’re in the kitchen (where my favourite thing is – food - or the toilet. Once I trust you, I just want to be with you. I love toys and my carers laps, so if you’re sitting on the sofa, watch out as I may jump up and make myself at home! When I’m getting cuddles, I purr so loud I can be heard in the next room. Once I start feeling safe I don’t mind new people or visitors but will keep my distance. I’m not sure about loud children. I’ve made good friends with my carers dog and love their cats too. Being outside in a safe environment is fun but I mostly like being inside curled up somewhere warm sleeping away the day. At night you’ll probably find me snuggled in between your feet. My adoption fee is $330.
To kick o the project, GeoCatch is hosting a free community information evening on 9 June at Tonic By e Bay, where locals can learn more about the Broadwater Wetlands and discover how they can get involved as citizen scientists.
e initiative will focus on monitoring and managing the impacts of rabbits, foxes and feral cats across the Broadwater area.
Hi, I’m Chip or as my foster carers like call me, Chippy! I’m a 1 year old shy tabby boy who needs some love and understanding. But, once I feel comfortable and confident, I will quite happily acquire your favourite spots on the sofa or chairs and call them mine. I can be chatty at meal time, but only to ensure I don’t miss out. I love my chirpy ball and worm toys to play with and I like to sit and watch the world go by from the windows. I’m litter trained and enjoy my food, so I have a special puzzle to get my biscuits from. I do like eating treats from your hands and call upon you to brush me, scratch me under my chin, or give me a head massage. I’m not a huge fan of being picked up or sleeping on beds, but am trying out different ones during the day. I will, however, find a spot close enough to make sure I can still see you at night. I really am a nice boy who just needs some patience and time. My adoption fee is $330.
Hi I’m Rollo
A 1 year old super playful, chatty and loving young boy. I love playing with my foster-cat friend and doing zoomies. I am super friendly and affectionate towards all humans and love a nice snuggle especially rolling onto my back for pets when I see my foster humans coming! I haven’t been exposed to dogs or young children. However I’m a very confident boy and my foster carers think I would warm up quickly to other pets or children after a gentle introduction period. I love my older cat friend at my foster home and would happily share a home with other friendly felines. I would best suit a family or home where people are home often to give me lots of pets and cuddles as I’m super social. If you think you could be my new family, I would love to meet you and show you how affectionate I can be! My adoption fee is $275.
Reducing feral animal populations will deliver important bene ts for native wildlife in the wetlands, such as the Quenda and Black Swan, and threatened species including the Western Ringtail Possum and the Snake-necked Turtle.
Hi, I’m Monty! A friendly 7 year old tabby and white, laid-back boy who enjoys spending my days snoozing and soaking up love and attention when I desire. I give the best head butts, enjoy a good pat and will reward you with a loud purr to show how happy I am! I enjoy sleeping on a bed, couch or mat and like it when my carers lay down with me. I’m a good eater and am litter trained. Im a sensitive boy and am looking for a quieter home as I don’t do well with a lot of noise or young children. I love being outside so my new home must also have a secure outside area for me to chill in and sunbake! I got along well with the female dog in my previous home but am untested with cats. I would prefer to be an only pet unless my new home has a calm dog. My adoption fee is $275.
Hi, I’m Bella
A 2 year old beauty with no beastly behaviours. I love scratches and pats, and adore toys with bells. I can be very shy to start with, but given time and space. I enjoy everyone’s company. I used to live with another cat, but have been a solo pet with my carers. I am untested with dogs and children. I love to play with all sorts of toys, and entertain my foster Mum with my zoomie antics. I enjoy the comforts of being inside and love to watch the outside world through windows. My ideal home would be a safe space where I can play and nap, and keep someone special company. My adoption fee is $275.
Community participation will be vital in helping build a clearer picture of where the feral species are occurring and how they are a ecting the wetlands’ fragile ecosystem.
the community, we can better understand where these animals are and take more e ective action to protect vulnerable species like the Western Ringtail Possum.
“ is project gives local residents a meaningful way to contribute to conservation in their own backyard.”
Hi, I’m Rue! A 4 month old sweet boy who can be a little timid at first but once I get to know and trust you, my true personality shines. I’m incredibly playful and curious, always exploring and entertaining myself with my favourite toys. I absolutely adore food and am not shy about letting my carers know it’s mealtime! Expect some very cute, baby-like “demands” when I’m hungry. I get along beautifully with other cats and will happily seek them out for cuddles. I have a soft spot for cosy blankets - that’s my cue to come over, make biscuits, and settle in for a nap with you. At night, I’m a total snuggle bug and love curling up on my carers chest for a good sleep. I also have a playful habit of proudly carrying my toys (especially hair ties!) around the house like little treasures. My adoption fee is $330.
An adoption fee of $300 applies for cats and $700 for dogs which assists to cover the costs of desexing, microchip, microchip ownership transfer, flea and worm treatment, vaccinations and vet checks. Successful applicants for dogs will be contacted for an interview and a property inspection (as it is vital we rehome our animals to a safe, secure and suitable home). If you are able to offer any of these animals the best of homes, please email busselton@safe.org.au, contact 0488 518 963 or visit www.safe.org.au
A limited number of participants will contribute to on-ground monitoring and data collection, helping to guide future coordinated feral animal control e orts.

Celebration from paddock to pint glass
A LONG-table feast celebrating local farming, regenerative agriculture and cra beer will take place at CBCo Brewing next week, with guests invited to settle in beside the paddocks for an immersive dining experience built around food, avour and sustainability.
e Inquest Dinner, to be held on Friday, June 5 from 5.30pm, will bring together brewer Britt Aikman, farmer Asher Cohen and Head Chef Leon Turk for a one-night-only event showcasing produce grown and raised on-site at the brewery’s property.
Set among 70 acres of farmland, the evening will feature a seasonal shared feast paired with CBCo beers, with stories from the paddock, brewery and kitchen woven throughout the experience.
General Manager Mike Lane said the event was designed to highlight the connection between the land, the food and the beer.
“Beef and lamb raised in the paddock from this last season will be the heroes of the night,” he said.
“ e evening will begin with guests entering the main paddock arena with the re pit in full swing, met by canapés and an awardwinning Goldy lager as the sun sets over the back of the brewery.”
Mr Lane said guests could expect generous, avour-driven dishes
centred around locally raised meat and produce.
“Canapés will consist of some classic styles and avours, with big pops of avour utilising great techniques and ingredients from our surrounding lands and oceans,” he said.
Guests will then take their seats before moving into a hearty main feast featuring rib roasts, recooked llets, slow-cooked lamb shoulders and cutlets.
“ ere will be crispy and creamy potatoes, seasonal vegetables, lashings of gravy and our brewery chimichurri with yorkies on the side, all sitting alongside our hero beer for the night, Inquest Imperial Stout,” Mr Lane said.
CBCo says the event also re ects the brewery’s broader philosophy around regenerative farming and sustainability.
SUNDAY BRUNCH IN BUSSELTON GETS A LEVANTINE UPGRADE
After a week spent at a computer and Saturday at kids’ soccer, brunch with friends was a solid reason to escape. We’d heard about INARA’s new Sunday Brunch and being fans of their dinner offering, decided to check it out.
Weak autumn sunshine wasn’t quite warm enough for alfresco dining, so we sat indoors beneath a mural map of the Levant painted by artist Tom Ansell. I picked a Turkish spiced coffee, while my friends ordered limoncello spritz and a sparkling thyme mojito.
We splashed out on the Chef’s Brunch 7-dish, $75 set menu – partially so we didn’t have to interrupt conversation to study the a la carte menu. The food came out as it was ready, but roughly in 2 tranches – lighter, vegetarian bites first followed by richer, heavier plates.
Firstly, an almond-shaped pide studded with haloumi and drizzled with honey. Sweet, salty, sublime. Shakshuka slow cooked eggs in fragrant braised tomato had a generous scattering of coriander on top. Zucchini, mint and feta fritters and
e brewery raises its own livestock on-site, including Lowline cattle and White Poll sheep, using rotational grazing systems designed to improve soil health, cycle nutrients back into the land and support biodiversity.
“We embrace regenerative agriculture and strive to use agriculture as a way to restore the landscape, rather than trying to control it,” Mr Lane said.
“It’s about more than just growing food; it’s about healing the land, replenishing what has been depleted, and fostering biodiversity for generations to come.”
a plate of charred baby peppers were swiftly devoured, sauces mopped up with fresh baked flatbread.
A watermelon and crushed strawberry dish was a surprise favourite with its sweetness offset by lime syrup –something I wouldn’t have ordered but thoroughly enjoyed.
Feeling satisfied, we thought brunch was done - then two more dishes appeared. Silky ‘shish barak’ duck handmade dumplings in fesenjun, a sour Iranian sauce. Followed by spiced lamb kofta, a plate of oversized chargrilled meatballs.
The experience struck the right balance between indulgence and authenticity. In a town where brunch means eggs and smashed avo, this homage to Middle Eastern cuisine felt refreshingly different.
INARA’s Sunday Brunch runs from 9am each week. Definitely worth the early start.
The Inquest Dinner will bring together the three essential components of the CBCo Margaret River story - the brewery, the kitchen, and the farm - to celebrate the region’s top quality produce and talented chefs and brewers.
Asher Cohen oversees the CBCo farming operations on the brewery’s 70 acres of farmland.
The CBCo Inquest Imperial Stout is the star of the show at the fireside dinner.

Beetles pull off stunning comeback
THE U12s Busselton Beetles went up against the Barbarians last weekend, a side they had comfortably accounted for in previous meetings, and even with six players missing, con dence still remained high.
But this was a very di erent Barbarians out t.
Clearly putting in the hard work and no longer willing to play the role of easybeats, they started hard and surprised the Beetles early, forcing them to scramble from the kick-o , striking rst and keeping the pressure on to go into hal ime leading three tries to two.
Coming out ring in the second half, the Barbarians unleashed an onslaught of pressure and running rugby, pinning the Beetles deep in their half and scoring at will as they crossed the line four more times, with the Beetles powerless to stop them.
Added to that were some well-taken conversions, and the scoreboard was suddenly blown out to 40–10 and the game looked gone for all money.
But, unbeknownst to everyone, things were about to turn.
And it didn’t come from one moment or one player.
e forwards li ed, with Wendy and Rylan determined to contribute to their undermanned team,
and Marcus making a strong impact in his rst game of rugby. e backline also switched on, fed by Brooklyn (Zinnie) with the cleanest, crispest delivery from the set-pieces and rucks the SW has ever seen.
And Hyrum wasn’t going to let this one get away; his bone-crunching tackles and direct attacks set the tone as he dragged his side back into the contest.
With numerous busting runs, he created space out wide to put wingers Jai and Isaac away, who showed real speed to score three quick- re tries between them. Another try followed and suddenly the gap had closed.
With only minutes remaining, the group rallied—“there was still time to win this,” was Hyrum’s call to the team.
From the restart, he tackled the opposition ball receiver and stripped the ball clean.
Backing himself, he cleared the defensive line to dot down near the posts.
With the scores at 40–39, everything came down to the conversion.
Hyrum stepped up and nailed it. Final score 41–40. From 40–10 down to a one-point win—it was one for the history books.
e U10s Busselton Beetles were on re in Australind, combining with players from the Bunbury Bulls and Barbarians to take on the Margaret River Gropers.
Slick hands and strong support play were the order of the day.
Finley Ollerenshaw continues to impress with his all-round game, and his combination with halfback Bertie Davis again delivered results.
Finley broke through the Gropers’ mid eld early, only to be pulled down near the 22, but Bertie was right there in support—scooping up the o oad and racing away to open the scoring.
Not content with one, Bertie added another with a textbook blindside dart from the scrum
that had defenders, spectators, and even a few coaches looking the wrong way.
e tries kept coming, with new signing Jude Hull making his mark with a brace.
Known for his presence and power, Jude also showed real pace, nishing a strong 30-metre dash to the line.
Rugby isn’t just about the tries though—it’s the small wins around the pitch that set them up.
Returnee Corbyn, along with Wylie Doble, both put in solid performances, helping deliver clean ball at the right time and keeping the Gropers under pressure with committed defence.
Ultimately, the Beetles prevailed, with the Bunbury-based players making a strong contribution.

Magpies extend their winning run
JASON CROWE
BUSSELTON won their eighth consecutive match on Saturday afternoon, when they defeated Carey Park at Kelly Park.
The Magpies started slowly, kicking the only goal of the first term, the Carey Park dominating general play, but they could not buy a goal in the first term, kicking six behinds, a tale that would come back to haunt them as the match went on.
The second quarter would be the same for the Panthers, controlling play without being able to put a goal on the board, and eventually the Magpies made them pay.
Liam Creighton started to dominate the forward line, snapping a good goal to put Busselton twenty points in front.
Moments later, Spencer Groenenberg, who had been playing well in the Colts competition, kicking his first goal in League football to extend the margin further.
Creighton then made his claim for goal of the year when he dribble kicked a ball from the behind post to give Busselton a 33 point lead at half time.
Harrison Allardyce extended the margin further at the start of the third, before the Panthers finally kicked a goal, which led to three quick goals in succession, courtesy of Brian Hughes, Taj Houlahan and Connor Gadecki.
The margin remained at 33 points at the final break, but any thoughts of a big comeback from the home side were snuffed out when Liam Creighton kicked his fifth for the match, as Busselton marched on to a forty point victory.
Jalen Hoffman and Ben Ganzer were amongst the Magpies best, while Reece Payne and Zane Verhaaf played well for Carey Park.
The Panthers have a big match in round ten, when they play seventh placed Harvey Brunswick Leschenault, with Carey Park currently sixth on the ladder.
Busselton meanwhile, will head to Collie to face the Eagles.

Accurate Bulldogs Down Sharks
AN incredibly accurate Bunbury defeated Dunsborough by 80 points at
PC Payne Park on Sunday afternoon in round nine of the South West Football League season.
While the Bulldogs eventually ran away with the match, the contest was far closer for much of the afternoon.
Bunbury’s efficiency in front of goal proved decisive, kicking ten straight goals before registering a behind, while their clean field kicking created far easier opportunities inside 50m.
The opening quarter was played at a frantic pace, with Trae Field kicking Bunbury’s first goal after the Sharks opened with an early behind.
Matt Russo responded with another brilliant running goal from deep in the pocket, continuing his excellent season. Russo finished with three goals and now has 31 for the year.
Bunbury then took control, kicking three quick goals before adding four more in the opening ten minutes of the second term to establish a 39-point lead.
Jake South worked hard for Dunsborough and stopped the momentum briefly, while Dylan Wicksteed kicked a brilliant goal for Bun-
Tough clashes for Busso as Wests cop 3-0 defeat
BUSSELTON Women’s South West League fought out a hard-earned 1-1 draw with Marist on Saturday in Busselton in a tough and physical contest.
Busselton struck first through Chelsea Pickford, whose shot at a short corner forced a deflection off a Marist player and into the back of the net.
Despite Busselton maintaining strong intensity early, Marist gradually worked their way into the match and capitalised with an equaliser to level the scores at 1-1.
Busselton continued to battle strongly throughout the game but was unable to score again to get the win.
Best players for Busselton were Chelsea Pickford, goalkeeper Kym Hender and Tiffany Jecks.
While the result highlighted the importance of maintaining intensity for the full match, it was still a solid team performance and a well-deserved result against a tough Marist side.
Wests South West League Men returned to action on Saturday after a bye round, hosting Marist in a hardfought contest that ended in a 3–0 defeat.
Despite missing coach and key player Tom Payne through injury, Wests fielded a strong side and matched Marist’s speed and skill throughout the game.
The visitors applied consistent pressure, forcing goalkeeper Caspian Ensor to work hard between the posts with a number of important saves to keep Wests in the contest.
Wests showed plenty of determination and resilience across the match, competing strongly despite the result.
Best players for the day were Luke Wedderburn, Nick Jennings and Dave O’Brien.
The club would also like to acknowledge the umpires.
Umpiring is a vital part of the game, and without their commitment there would be no matches played.
Like players and coaches, umpires give up their time to support the sport and deserve to be treated with respect at all times.
We encourage all players, coaches and supporters to show appreciation for the work they do and help create a positive environment for everyone involved in the game.
bury as the Bulldogs headed to half time leading by 46 points.
The third quarter belonged to Bunbury, who kicked six goals to one, before both sides added four goals in the final term.
Jake Green provided a highlight for the Sharks with a superb running goal from 50m after three bounces along the wing.
Harry Creasey, Haydn Busher and Brenton Hilton were among
Bunbury’s best, while Darcy Miller and Jake South battled hard for Dunsborough.
Bulldog Dylan Heasman celebrated his 150th game with a goal after the siren, while the Sharks suffered a blow with Caleb Stephens sidelined after a heavy collision before half time.

BUSSELTON SWIMMERS DELIVER STRONG PERFORMANCES AT NATIONAL
SOUTH West swimmers have performed well at the Australian National Age Multi-class, Open and Age swimming championships held on the Gold Coast in April.
Grace Ferguson (18) and Kyle Naude (16) took part in the MC Age and Open Championships, and 8 swimmers took part in the Age championships.
At the Age Nationals, Grace was a bronze medal winner in the G16-18 MC 200m freestyle, together with a 4th place in the G1618 200m Individual medley and a 10th place in the 400m freestyle. Kyle, in his first nationals, fin-
ished a very respectable 9th place in the B16-18 200m freestyle and 10th in the 50m breaststroke.
Both swimmers then competed at the Australian Open, where Grace finished 7th in the Open MC 50m butterfly and 12th in the Open 100m butterfly.
Coach Andrew Sexton said
“Both athletes acquitted themselves really well in their events.
“Grace especially had a wonderful 5 days in winning her bronze medal and competing against the top Open MC athletes in the butterfly events.
“Both athletes have now been
selected on the WA Development Pathway which shows the interest at a state level in developing them ahead of future competitions.”
At the Age Championships, Busselton’s swimmers had a fantastic series of results.
Macy Dargue (16), Mia Forrest (15), Madison Rayne (16), Brooklyn Rayne (16) and Marcus van Rooyen (16) all came in the Top 20 in the National results with some fantastic swims and personal bests.
Mia came 18th in the G15 200m breaststroke, Brooklyn came 20th in the G16 50m freestyle (and was selected onto the WA Devel-
opment Team due to her time), and Marcus was 16th in the B16 200m breaststroke.
One of the highlights of the week was watching teammates, Macy and Madi, racing together in the B final of the G16 100m breaststroke where Macy came 14th and Madi, 18th.
“It was a fantastic trip this year,” Coach Sexton said.
“We have shown fantastic growth as a team, and the results have been very gratifying.
“Macy, Mia and Lily Morelli (13) were all first-time qualifiers this year and to have Macy and Mia in
the Top 20 is fantastic.
“What is even better is that Mia, Macy, Madi, Brooklyn and Marcus, together with Archie O’Beirne (18) have qualified to attend the Australian Trials for Commonwealth Games in June.
“This is a huge boost to their confidence going forward and hopefully it will inspire them through the winter months ahead.
“It is also gratifying that our other team-mates like Pamoana Pirikahu (16) and Archie had 100 percent and 67 percent PBs respectively in their races and had a real crack at their events even
if they didn’t turn out quite as we would have wanted.
“Perhaps as a coach though, the most heartening thing is that numerous of our swimmers overcame real nerves and some disappointing races before they brought the best out of themselves and each other.
“Becoming a champion is not an easy process, and I believe a number of our swimmers have learnt a lot about themselves as resilient young people rather than just as swimmers, which I know should make next year even more exciting.”
After a slow start to their clash with Carey Park, Busselton managed to take control of the match and claim their eighth win in a row this season. Photo: Sharyn Newlands
