Bus trip. Join us for a fascinating walk through the iconic brick-lined Swan View Rail Tunnel, opened in 1896 and designed by C.Y. O’Connor. At 340 metres long it was WA’s first and only rail tunnel at the time and is reputed to have spooky and haunted vibes. After the tunnel, we take a leisurely walk along the John Forrest Heritage Trail into John Forrest National Park, passing the park falls along the way (bring morning tea to have at the falls). Total walking distance is 3km along a flat gravel path. From there we’ll be picked up by bus and taken to the iconic Parkerville Tavern for lunch (at own cost) before returning via the scenic zig zag drive. Bring a torch if you can as the tunnel can be damp and dark, and wear suitable shoes and clothing.
Meet at East Fremantle Community Park carpark, corner of Moss & Marmion Streets at 8.15am for 8.30am departure.

4 Thursdays. If one believes that everything is material and everything can be rationally understood (and certainly much can be), gone is the mystery and enchantment of living. This misses the possibility that life can be filled with sweetness, meaning and purpose. We’ll explore these ideas by drawing on philosophical thinkers of the ancient world, theological thought, poetry, and French Existentialism.

This original Australian musical which premiered in 2019 tells the tale of Andrew George Scott, his descent into a life of crime, the love he shared with his accomplice James Nesbitt and, ultimately, his execution.
