ALBANY REPAIR CAFE OPENING

As photographers we would be well aware of how much gear we send to the tip (or hopefully recycle in some way) and it's good to see a group of locals getting together to give things some extra life.

Indu's hard work finally becomes a reality.



Indu Scott and her many helpers get together at Scots Church in Albany, York St. on the 2nd Saturday of each month to see if items can be repaired or give advice on a wide range of topics.



Noongar elder Larry Blight gave the welcome to country address which highlighted some of the indigenous connections to the concept of recycling. 




It's a free service and something that is a breath of fresh air in our current throw away society and it was very interesting to see the range of skills involved and the enthusiasm of the many participants.

The home cooked treats were sensational as it always is with these types of events
