Victor Churchill Dale is a self-taught bush poet from Coolgardie.
His poetry has been presented to the likes of the Governor-General and the Queen.
I caught up with Victor in Leonora on WA Day weekend, where his framed poem about the exciting journey of the Goldfields Cyclassic: Leonora Golden Wheels and book of semi-autobiographical poetry were part of the winners prize.
Go Vic Dale. He is a legend
A few weeks back, the Community Shed in Greenbushes, Western Australia, Australia received a $6000 Federal grant to build a gazebo to allow activities such as sanding to be done outdoors. Now, men’s sheds around my electorate of O'Connor can apply for grants of up to $10,000 to support men’s health and wellbeing. Applications are open until July 16 and I encourage all sheds to apply: mensshed.org/development-grants.

Surf lifesavers do an incredible job keeping O’Connor's most visited beaches safe.
Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) was in Parliament House this week and I got to meet two young heroes, Rhys and Marcus, who were awarded for their bravery in rescuing a 13-year-old boy from a rip on a remote regional South Australian beach.
The Federal Government helps support SLSA activities, like the Rip Currents Campaign, which help keep our swimmers safe.

I was inspired to run for Parliament following my involvement in a decade-long campaign to deregulate the wheat industry, which brought about the end of the Australia Wheat Board’s monopoly.
