On Tuesday, these “Save Lancelin” stickers started appearing on cars around town. By Thursday, they were spotted on the counters at several businesses in Lancelin including Have A Chat General Store where Mika (left) and Kellie were happy to show them off and give them away to customers. So what’s it all about? Not 100% sure, but it’s a sentiment I think most will get behind. Keep a look out… Read More
So far, more than 1.3 tonnes of live lobsters have been sold for collection at the Lancelin jetty.

If you look at this diagram you will see that most of Lancelin’s dunes are the subject of mining tenements (green outline). Even the off-road area which is administered by the Shire is included. BUT, it is unlikely that the off-road area would ever be mined as it would take all stake holders, shire, residents etc. to agree to it and there is no appetite for that. So what is… Read More
Over the next couple of months you’ll find 66 of these signs along our coast. What are they? They are BEN (Beach Emergency Number) signs, and here’s how they work. Let’s say you’re on the beach in Lancelin or Guilderton, and someone needs urgent help. Assuming you’ve noted the nearest BEN sign number, you’d simply quote that to the emergency services and they will know where you are. At present,… Read More
