Caterpillars

Own­ers of the Cape Lilac tree, will at present be expe­ri­enc­ing being invaded, by hun­dreds of  cater­pil­lars of the White Cedar  Moth.

Appar­ently these cater­pil­lars are mem­bers of the spit­fire fam­ily. The trunks of my trees were cov­ered in a car­pet of the crit­ters. This made it easy to spray them, but not before they had suc­cess­fully removed the entire leaves from the tree.

They head to the house cov­er­ing the patios and walls, this enter­tains and keeps the kids busy col­lect­ing them.

I have used Car­baryl dust around the doors  in an attempt to keep them from get­ting inside.

At night they seem to head towards the light and warmth.

I have found that prod­ucts con­tain­ing  Car­baryl to be the most effec­tive in con­trol­ling them.

Good luck to oth­ers with this problem.

Interpretive Sign Frames Found

Interpretive sign frames in the shed

Sig­nage frames stored in the caged area of the Shed

I have great news for the users of Magenup Lake. DEC work­ers found the inter­pre­tive sign frames in the bush where they were work­ing. You may recall that van­dals had ripped out of the ground some of the inter­pre­tive signs that had been placed around the lake. These signs were the prod­uct of a joint project between the Wandi Land­care Group and Green­skills and included the two large signs that can be found to the entrance to the lake area by the Magenup Eques­trian Cen­tre and at the Leslie Road bridal path. I was told that these frames are quite expen­sive to build so their return will be at a great sav­ing to the Wandi Land­care Group and Angela Jakob’s bush­care budget.

I haven’t heard about the pend­ing court case. The van­dals were caught. Hope the judge doesn’t give them just a slap on the wrist.

CONCERN ON LYON ROAD

Posted on by

A note to the res­i­dents of Wandi, to use cau­tion on Lyon Road around the sub-division.

These dis­play homes are now being vis­ited by fam­i­lies (strangers to the area) who may con­sider Lyon Road a quiet back street.

We all know this is not the case.  These vis­i­tors are park­ing on both sides of the road (ignor­ing the No Park­ing signs) and unknow­ingly putting their chil­dren at risk.

Vehi­cles are only slow­ing down along this strip when forced to do so due to congestion.

Regard­less of what any of us think about the tran­si­tion to rural that the coun­cil and the devel­oper have pro­vided, none of us want to be the one who runs over another, be it adult or child.

 

 

Illegal Parking on Lyon Road

There have been sev­eral cases of ille­gal park­ing of Lyon Road dur­ing func­tions held by Satterleys.

These car own­ers are pok­ing their tongues out at coun­cil because they will not be booked.

The Mayor of Kwinana seemed to brush off the offences sug­gest­ing rangers were off duty but that again raises more ques­tions in regards to ille­gal activ­i­ties after hours ?? You can read her response in the Wandi War­bler. I myself made sev­eral calls to the Duty Ranger (0411 078264) on the offend­ing Sun­day 20th Novem­ber and was put through to a com­put­erised voice telling me I was placed in a queue. What a joke. I should have been put through to a mes­sag­ing machine. I con­tacted the May­ors home and got in con­tact with the Mayor’s hus­band as Carol was away, but he was unable to help.

If you would like to add your views on this sub­ject, please reg­is­ter and post your com­ments so they are avail­able for oth­ers to see.

I have made photo gallery album show­ing all the offend­ers. Click HERE to see some pho­tos of ille­gal park­ing on Lyon Road. If you have some of your own to add, please send them to me for inclusion.

The Wandi Progress and Landcare Websites moved to new servers

I’d like to inform every­one that the Wandi Progress and Wandi Land­care web­sites have moved servers. Due to the great deals out there today, I was able to have sep­a­rate servers for both so now you can use their respec­tived URLs and go direct to the web site home page.

These are wandiprogress.org and wandilandcare.org .

The new servers also have other advan­tages, one being that Ithe WPA is able to acco­mo­date club web­sites com­plete with fully func­tion­ing email addresses through sub­do­mains if the free page offered is not sufficient.

I can be con­tacted by E-mail for more information.

Please feel free to leave com­ments on your thoughts and ideas.

Low life vandals at it again

What has become of the youth of today :( . On Tues­day, 19th July I was informed that an unfor­tu­nate act of van­dal­ism out on the nature trail around Magenup Lake. Some low lifes had pulled two of the inter­pre­tive signs out of the ground and dragged them behind their vehi­cle. I’m not sure where they entered the area but they left via the DEC gate com­pletely destroy­ing it.

I have included some pho­tos of the dam­age in the new photo gallery of the Wandi Progress Asso­ci­a­tion. You can see them by click­ing here

If any­one has any infor­ma­tion, can you please con­tact the Kwinana Police on 9411 4311.
