🚨🧡SES Cow Patrol!🧡🚨
All through May, Mooriel is proudly wearing orange in support of SES volunteers and WOW Day (Wear Orange Wednesday) on May 20.

From storms and floods to searches, road crash rescues and bushfire support, SES volunteers step up when communities need help most. Across WA, these volunteers give countless hours helping keep communities safe.

As we head toward winter storm season, WA SES Murray Volunteer Unit is encouraging everyone to get prepared before the wild weather arrives.

⛈️A few simple things can make a huge difference:
✅ Clear gutters and downpipes
✅ Trim overhanging branches
✅ Secure loose outdoor items
✅ Check roofs for damage or leaks
✅ Make sure drains are clear
✅ Have torches, batteries and emergency contacts handy

SES units are always looking for more community-minded volunteers. Training is provided, friendships are formed, and there are many ways to help, from frontline response and rescue support through to communications, logistics and admin roles.
📞 Murray SES: 0428 928 319 for more information if you're in the Waroona/Pinjarra area
So here’s to the SES and their volunteers. Wear a splash of orange, support your local SES, and if you know an SES volunteer, give them a shoutout below 👇

🍀 How will you celebrate St Patrick’s Day tomorrow?
A pint of green beer🍺 and a hunt for four-leaf clovers?
Tell us in the comments and make sure to tag your favourite Paddy 🇮🇪

Fun Facts:
☘️ In Ireland the day was once a religious feast, with pubs required to close. The law changed in the 1970s, and today it’s a global celebration with around 13 million pints of Guinness enjoyed worldwide on St Patrick’s Day.
☘️ Saint Patrick wasn’t Irish at all.
Born Maewyn Succat in Roman Britain, as a teenager he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland. He spent years enslaved working as a shepherd.
☘️ Green wasn’t the original colour of St Patrick’s Day - it was blue.
☘️ The first recorded St Patrick’s Day parade took place in St. Augustine in 1601.
☘️ St Patrick’s Day goes green in creative ways - in Chicago the river is dyed bright green, while in Australia pubs often serve green beer.

💜 February 24th is National Animal Remembrance Day, also known as Purple Poppy Day. Mooriel is dressed in purple to honour the animals who served in war.

They didn’t volunteer. They didn’t understand the cause.
They simply did what they were trained to do.

In World War I alone, more than 16 million animals served.

🐎 Horses and donkeys carried troops and hauled artillery.
🐕 Dogs ran messages, located the wounded, and today detect explosives.
🐫 Camels supported Australian forces in desert campaigns.
🐦 Pigeons delivered life-saving communications.
🐘 Elephants hauled heavy loads in Asian theatres.
🐱 Cats kept ships and trenches free of vermin.
🐬 Dolphins and sea lions continue to assist in naval operations.

Many were injured, exhausted, or killed, sent wherever they were needed, without choice.

💜 The purple poppy symbolises their service and sacrifice.
Lest they be forgotten.

A heartfelt thank you to Waroona’s Charity Knitters for the beautiful poppies pictured.

She didn’t whisper Valentine’s Day.
She declared it.

Black shimmer.
Red roses.
A heart in full bloom.
