Roger Welch sees things clearly.
As an eye surgeon his clients rely on this.
As a photographer he has amazed us all with his beautiful photos of Wooli ‘s wildflowers and sea creatures.
Here are more of Roger’s pics showing our wildflowers, marine park residents and slithery beauties.
Recently Roger saw an opportunity not to be missed.
This happened when the Protect Wooli campaign received tax deductibility status from the Australian Tax Office. It means that from now on each donation to protect Wooli can be claimed as a tax deduction. Contact us if you’d like to know how.
Roger ‘s $5000 donation is the first to take advantage of this welcome new development. However, his generosity toward Wooli started long before the tax man decided to help. When Roger ‘s earlier donations amounting to $6000 are combined with his long and valuable involvement in both the CCPA steering committee and DuneCare ‘s successful rehabilitation of the dune it is very clear that he is a worthy member of our Hall of Fame.
Wooli was a family place for Joy Henderson since way back when her parents Norma and Arthur Allan retired there in the late 1960 ‘s. This was in the days before electricity and the water tower. Joy and her family watched tip trucks driving down Main Street, with loads of enormous boulders to build the breakwater. They experienced the much-needed improvements to the infamous Wooli Road. It is still a long way to travel from Melbourne but back then it was the last section of road from the Pacific Highway that was an adventure in itself.
