On October 14, 1968, a magnitude 6.5 quake shook Meckering and it's surrounds, destroying roads, railway tracks and buildings. When the dust literally settled, $2.2 million worth of damage had been done to the central wheatbelt town, and injuring over 20 people. Alice Snook has been collecting peoples stories from the quake, and they've been compiled into a book called 40 Secondswhich launches this month. If you'd like to get hold of a copy or find out about the launch event, Alice can be reached via email at gwaesnooke@icloud.com or by calling 0448 907 251.

We might not be travelling as far and wide as usual thanks to Covid-19 and our state's border closure, but my son and I have just had a quick getaway to a town a couple of hours east of Perth, and it is worth telling you all about! I'm a big fan of travel for random reasons, and this one was pretty random. The destination was dictated purely by my 10-year-old son, and meant we ended up staying near the town of Meckering, in the wheatbelt region of Western Australia. Meckering's only a memorable name to most West Aussies because a particularly bad earthquake struck there back in 1968. On our trip, we learnt more about that, but also got to enjoy some big views and the quiet of farm life - and in this episode, I chat about our experience with my son, as well as giving you my thoughts on why this kind of trip is valuable and worthwhile, too. Check the show notes for some photos of Meckering and surrounds.
