Save the Scott River, No Wind Turbines

25/10/2025

The year is 2035 — Western Australia has closed all its gas and coal-fired power stations to meet fanciful and crippling net zero targets and we’re solely relying on wind and solar to power the state.

We’ve just spotted the Augusta Margaret River Shire President and CEO heading to Perth in one of the Shire’s ageing electric fleet vehicles for a rally on the steps of Parliament House, to overturn the WALGA overlord and long-standing Premier Roger Crook, who is now in his 4th term.

Ideology is so entrenched in the system now that the Prez and CEO are calling for common sense politics to return and “if it’s good for China, it’s good for us.” Roger has just sold exclusivity rights to China to extract oil and gas from the West Australian basin for the next 50 years… in return for wind turbine and solar panel manufacturing — bolstering our clean and green image with Tourism WA.

The Prez and CEO are in dire straits… The wind factory at the Scott River has sent residents and ratepayers in the entire southern half of the shire ‘bat s**t crazy’ and they are refusing to pay their rates and walking the streets like zombies. Ranting things like ‘fix the jetty’ and ‘we told you so’.

They called it progress; we called it a warning. They called it consultation; we saw a press release. They call it unforeseen; we call it exactly what we said. Long story short: we were managed, not led. That’s how we got here — Don’t get me started on DIGITAL ID ⚠️

I visited the Albany Wind Factory over the weekend. I immersed myself in the space for a little over an hour…

What I came away with is deeply concerning.

The turbines here are one-third the size of those proposed for the Scott River — this site is tiny in comparison.

There are three distinct layers of noise:
• the low mechanical hum of the gearbox turning
• the whoosh of blades cutting through air and echoing off the tower
• and a sharp, high-pitched whistle as each blade slices past

After an hour in the impact zone, I felt nauseous and had to leave. The noise drives you mad, the blade flicker in the sunlight feels like watching a bad D-grade movie, and the infrasound makes you feel physically ill.

It’s deeply unethical that our own State Government would consider subjecting Scott River residents to this. The Shire of Augusta Margaret River, state planning committee members and the Premier of WA should visit one of these facilities — and experience the torture first-hand.

Stoked to have picked up Best Shiraz 🏆 and Best Red Wine of Show 🏆 at the Wine Show of Western Australia over the weekend for our 2023 Reserve Shiraz

Produced from less than two acres of vines planted in 1975, this true small-batch wine yielded just six barrels. The tiny yet remarkable block sits beside our family home on Caves Road in Wilyabrup — a vineyard that’s quietly delivered some of our most distinctive and highly awarded wines over the years.
