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. - -

Transition Town Vincent Movie Night - The Human Scale
Floreat Athena Soccer Club41 Britannia RdMount Hawthorn,Half of the human population lives in urban areas. By 2050, this will increase to 80%. Life in a megacity is both enchanting and problematic. Today we face peak oil, climate change, loneliness and severe health issues due to our way of life. But why? The Danish architect and professor Jan Gehl has studied human behavior in cities through four decades. He has documented how modern cities repel human interaction, and argues that we can build cities in a way, which takes human needs for inclusion and intimacy into account.
'The Human Scale' meets thinkers, architects and urban planners across the globe. It questions our assumptions about modernity, exploring what happens when we put people into the centre of our planning.

Kintsugi Workshop

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–
