When I was a kid on holidays in the Lower Great Southern from Katanning, my family would often pop up to Pwakkenbak/Mount Barker Hill for a bird's-eye view of the Stirling and Porongurup ranges. So I'm proud to be associated with federal funding for the new boardwalk up there, which is now a prime recreational resource for the people of Visit Mount , and will increase visitation to the area. A fantastic vision by the Shire of Pl community to match the fantastic view!
Beautiful views from up there. I won a photography competition in my younger days taken from up there when Kodak put out their first panoramic cameras.
Well worth the visit.
It is a lovely addition to Mt Barker Hill
DaveO let’s go
It is an amazing view.

Great to see the first episode of ABC Australia’s Mystery Road: Origin hit our screens this week. Filmed in the Goldfields, many O’Connor viewers will spot familiar places and faces.
I was privileged to get a sneak peek behind the scenes with Bunya Productions during their 10-week shoot late last year.
Enjoying it!

Great to hear that the Middle Island Gilbert’s Potoroo population is growing!
Just before the election I was pleased to announce $248,140 to help protect and restore a key mainland population of the threatened Gilbert’s Potoroo at Mount Gardner as part of the former Government’s Threatened Species Strategy Action Plan.
This funding for the Gilbert's Potoroo Action Group will help control feral predators and reduce pressure on newly introduced potoroos, with actions
including feral predator control (baiting, trapping and Felixer grooming traps), non-lethal control of native predators like the South-west Carpet Python, and a feral predator surveillance monitoring program.

Gilbert's Potoroo, the rarest marsupial on earth, is having babies in its brand new home on Middle Island and researchers are celebrating.We are so excited to have been successful with our application for that $248,140 grant and are working hard at the moment getting that project up and running in collaboration with Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia. Looking forward to having some news to report on those outcomes soon too!

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 Australian Wheat Board’s monopoly.
