ACE PHOTOGRAPHS THE WA DAY EVENT AT THE MUSEUM OF THE GREAT SOUTHERN

Each year a team of club members photographs the WA Day celebrations at the Museum and we couldn't have hoped for better weather on the day.

Everything came to a standstill while the Fireys
investigated the source of the alarm.

The day began in spectacular fashion when the Museum fire alarm went off and three fire truck were quickly on the scene,  Fortunately for everyone, it proved to be a false alarm and it was back to business.

A welcome to country ceremony was given by Noongar elder Larry Blight and throughout the day there was a steady stream of performances by local groups and individuals.

Jamie the clown was flat out all day entertaining the kids and his extremely popular balloon creations ensured there was a very big queue waiting to get their hands on one.

The tongue plays a big part in the creative process.

There were plenty of budding young artists on hand to grab a brush and create their own masterpiece and the face painters from the Girl Guides were kept very busy throughout the day.

Larry Blight demonstrated traditional Aboriginal tool making techniques and here he's explaining the process to a very interested young girl.

This year there was a vintage and veteran car display and this magnificent 1906 Darracq attracted a lot of well earned admiration for the amazing quality of the restoration.

It was an excellent day and a large crowd enjoyed a wide range of entertainment and activities and thanks to our club members who helped out with photographing the event.
