Quairading welcomed over 150 members of the Sikh c

Quairading welcomed over 150 members of the Sikh community on the 25th of November for a historic plaque unveiling.

Funded by Sikh Association of Western Australia and supported by the Shire of Quairading, a plaque depicting the Wheatbelt Sikh history has been installed at the Old Quairading Railway Station.

The Sikhs arrived in Australia in the late 19th century, primarily serving as cameleers or traders. Many led camel trains, serving as the backbone of the heavy haulage industry in remote areas, including the Goldfields region, Rabbit-Proof Fence, and various country towns. These camel trains were crucial in supporting mining projects and connecting isolated regions.

The unveiling of the plaque serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role of the Sikhs in facilitating trade and infrastructure development in remote and challenging terrains within the Wheatbelt region.

Following the unveiling, a delicious and festive vegetarian lunch was held at the Quairading Town Hall.

Council would like to express their thanks to the Sikh community for hosting this momentous occasion.

Council would like to express their deepest gratit

Council would like to express their deepest gratitude to our Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades after a challenging few weeks fighting fires in our Shire.

We appreciate your amazing efforts to protect our property, crops and livestock in very challenging conditions!

Quairading has had 11 fire incidents in the last month, including several grass scrub fires requiring water bombers.

In the early hours of Monday the 27th of November, an intense dry lightning storm caused multiple incidents in the region and we thank those who fought fires all through the night.

A reminder to our community, if you see a fire, your first job is to report it's location to 000 immediately.
