CRY OF THE FORESTS UNITED CINEMAS ROCKINGHAM–
CRY OF THE FORESTS UNITED CINEMAS ROCKINGHAM
United Cinemas Rockingham14 Leghorn St, Rockingham WA 6168Rockingham,The forests of the Southwest of Western Australia are found nowhere else on earth. They are part of one of the most biodiversity rich hotspots on the planet and they play a vital role in drawing down and storing carbon.
Yet we are cutting them down at the rate of 10 football fields every single day.
Logging is decimating these special places. Most of the logs end up as sawmill waste, charcoal or wood chips. Just 15 per cent is turned into useable timber.
Meanwhile climate change is impacting on the south west and rainfall is declining. The forests help create the rain that feeds the streams, environment and agricultural industries. But despite all this the destruction of these valuable ecosystems continues.
Cry of the Forests is a call to action to save our forests before it’s too late. It is an independent documentary film made in partnership with the WA Forest Alliance. - -

Kintsugi Workshop
Cambridge Administration Building1 Bold Park DriveFloreat,Presenting an established and popular part of our workshop program: an age old way to minimise waste to landfill.
Kinds is the Japanese art of putting broken ceramics back together with gold — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art. Every break is unique and instead of repairing an item like new, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the "scars" as a part of the design.
This workshop includes a gold repair kit with all necessary equipment and artist tuition.CRY OF THE FORESTS UNITED CINEMAS ROCKINGHAM AU–
