Our April edition is out now (from 1 April)! Pick up a free copy from key locations around the area, and letterbox delivery to selected Western suburb streets occurs beginning the 2^nd week of April.

This edition features articles about ANZAC Day – including a list of local locations to commemorate ANZAC Day on 25 April. We have another special feature story from Maurice Serico titled ‘The Empty Valley’. And a Q&A article with three of our local Ryan candidates in the forthcoming election – hear from Elizabeth Watson-Brown, Maggie Forrest, and Rebecca Hack.

Fundraising Week: 28 April to 4 May – please support us and donate to The Western Echo. Or visit us in-person at The Gap Village on Tues 29 April or Fri 2 May.

Our regular columns include ‘For the Love of Books’ by volunteer writer Sarah Krause and ‘Col’s Chat’ is with Lou Bennett  – who is off to Gallipoli this month for the 110^th anniversary of the landings.

Don’t miss our monthly fun Photo Quiz, guessing where Colin Bushell (photographer) has been this month with his camera.

And please support our local advertisers, community groups, and events.

Happy reading,
