The 2018 April autumn event is promising to be rather good..... there are a some brand new setters (and an old hand)! It will be held in bushland north east of Perth, featuring gently rolling hills, and well defined creek lines. There is wildlife to boot with the iconic long neck turtles sticking their necks out and mobs of emus making the most of the daylight. With a dash of farmland and open bushland its an event to be enjoyed by all.

Still looking for volunteer - Safety Coordinator. Pls contact John Herzfeld.
