FREE COMMUNITY TALK: WELLINGTON DAM ARCHAEOLOGY
A 1930s forest valley preserved beneath Wellington Dam

Wellington Dam was built in the early 1930s, and when the reservoir filled, it swallowed a working forest valley complete with jarrah trees, timber tracks, and corduroy roads. The cold, fresh water has kept it all in remarkable condition. On their weekends, Patrick, Aren and Andrew are systematically mapping the site using multibeam sonar, technical diving, and underwater line mapping adapted from cave diving techniques.

Come along to hear what they've found, and please get in touch if you have any information about the valley before it was flooded!

The Marri tree has won 2026 Eucalypt of the Year 🍃

The Western Australian native can be found from Geraldton to Albany.

Menang Elder Vernice Gilles spoke to Andrew Collins on Regional Drive about the tree's significance.

"Their gum is used for the art of making glue," she said.

"It's melted down and it's added with dried kangaroo droppings and crushed charcoal to make a really thick paste."

She said it can also be used as a medicine.

"We've used it as an antiseptic... any abrasion, you can put that gum on it and it will ease it," she said.

"It's really good for settling the tummy down."
