WANTED: Novels! Hello friends. Our wonderful little not for profit bookshop London Court Books is volunteer-run with all proceeds supporting the work of the Museum of Perth. We are running low on novels (we have an over supply of non fiction). If anyone needs to clear out some space on their bookshelves for more books, and would like to donate a bag or box of books - they can be dropped at any time to a nominated home address near the city with free on-street parking (email info@museumofperth.com.au for details), or to our gallery at 410 Murray St in Perth from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. Thank you for your support. ❤️📚 (fb)

🌿 Our Wilkinson Homestead Garden is Thriving! 🌿 We’re thrilled to see our training garden behind the historic Wilkinson Homestead in Gosnells featured on the front page of this week’s Gosnells Examiner! Built almost entirely from recycled materials and maintained by participants in our training program, the garden is more than a place to grow food – it's a space of learning, healing and community connection. With guidance from our Heritage Gardens Coordinator Andi Benson, participants are learning how to compost, build worm farms, grow food sustainably, and connect with one another in meaningful ways. From harvesting fresh organic produce to gaining confidence, skills and friendships – the impact has been incredible. 🌱 Thank you to all the volunteers and job seekers who’ve helped turn bare ground into a thriving, welcoming and productive community space, and to the City of Gosnells and Mayor Terresa Lynes - City of Gosnells for their ongoing support. We’re proud to play a role in building both greener gardens and stronger communities in Gosnells. 💚 Learn more about Wilkisnon Homestead here: https://www.gosnells.wa.gov.au/About_our_City/History_and_Heritage/Places_of_historic_interest/Wilkinson_Homestead_Museum 📷 Photos by Richard Polden, as featured in the Gosnells Examiner, 3 July 2025. #MuseumOfPerth #WilkinsonHomestead #CommunityGarden #Gosnells #Sustainability #WorkfortheDole #HeritageInAction #GardenTherapy #SkillsForLife #LocalLegends Matt Keogh (fb)
