Join WCC members on the bus trip to the impressive Amaze Miniature Village (formally called Abingdon Miniature Village). This wonderful attraction has an extensive display of scale-model miniature buildings and railways. Many of the models are replicas of well-known historic buildings from Abingdon Village, parts of the United Kingdom and Germany. Set amongst four acres of beautifully manicured gardens it is a superb must-see attraction to visit. The grounds provide you with a self-guided tour past the ornamental lake and miniature steam and diesel trains, canals, locks, and barges to the town of Abingdon, the oldest continually inhabited town in England. The entry cost includes the maze, miniature village and mini golf. You will have free time on the Mandurah Foreshore where you can purchase from many of the meal venues. Lunch at own expense.

Noel Coward’s play, A Song at Twilight, is a bittersweet comedy - the story of a cosmopolitan author caught in his declining years between two women, his wife of convenience for twenty years, and one of his former loves. When a past lover arrives bearing questions that pierce the silence of decades, long-buried secrets and unspoken truths emerge. This is a poignant drama of identity, betrayal, regret, and the haunting cost of silence - where sharp wit and tender reflections give way to unexpected confrontations, and every whispered revelation strikes like a thunderclap. Collect your ticket on Enrolment Day or from Melissa in the Pod.

Theatre 180 presents the incredible true story of the rescue of six Fenian prisoners from the fortress of Fremantle Prison in 1876, one of the most daring and audacious prison breaks in Australia’s history. Two years in the planning, it involved espionage, secret letters, undercover operatives who travelled from Boston to Western Australia to enact the plan, a love affair, a rescue ship masquerading as a whaleboat, a desperate boat chase and the threat of war against the might of America. The main FP gates are about 200m from the East Workshops performance venue. The gates next to the East Workshops can be opened for mobility access requests (to be advised to Melissa before 12 March). Book before 19 February. You will be advised when tickets are available from Melissa in The Pod.

Having to make decisions on whether to visit Antarctica is fraught with challenges – those of guilt, uncertainty, the fear of the unknown and the different; the prospect of long journeys (at least for us Aussies!) and, perhaps, the personal, mental and physical doubts you might have about yourselves. The big question is: are we doing the right thing by going? Anil, a Geochemist/Exploration Geologist with 40 years of experience in the minerals sector, will explore the compelling reasons to visit.

Lynne is a palynologist specialising in pollen and spore morphology and its many applications. Her work with police, and as a private defence witness, has seen her investigate murders, rapes, terrorism and the provenance of illegal drugs. Lynne will take us through some historical cases such as Oetzi the Iceman, the Shroud of Turin, the Bosnia Herzegovina mass graves and some of her personal cases not related at her last talk. Enter the fascinating and beautiful world of microscopic pollen and spores described by Lynne and hear about her often emotional, humbling and humorous journey working in the forensic arena. If time permits, she will revisit the Rayney case.

John is a passionate musician, teacher, performer and composer who is currently studying a Master of Musicology at WAAPA about the music of the early years of European settlement in WA. In 1829, free settlers from Great Britain and Ireland arrived at the Swan River Colony bringing their music with them. What role would this have played in the establishment of a colony at the far reaches of the British Empire? There is evidence from diaries of the early settlers that some of the music produced in the first ten years began to adopt a distinctly Western Australian focus. Using musical examples, John will explore how, where, why and by whom the music was performed.

The first book for 2026 is the new novel by Jane Harper, Last One Out. On the surface it is a mystery thriller about the disappearance of a son and his parents' desperate quest to discover what happened to him. However the novel also portrays a town under siege by an encroaching mine and is a moving and memorable story about the struggles, loyalties and conflicts of the people. A second book will be selected later in the term.
