I didn't get up there in time to see the protest in Cranbrook and got there after the event. On my way I saw the following...

Tenterden 2.4
LA105 (Albany)
LM101 (Mount Barker)
LM201 (Mount Barker)
LJ201 (Cranbrook)
LK201 (Katanning)
LG201 (Gnowangerup_
2 x white TE station wagons
1 x white TE sedan
(One possibly TE218?)

I saw on GWN news
LK102 or LK105 (missed the last number - from Katanning)
TE204 (white HWP markings)

Just caught the tail end of WIN news
TE218 confirmed

Just saw 7 news
LN201 (Narrogin)
LR102 (Dumbleyung)

Hi Wes,

Are their anymore protests planned down there planned over the weekend?

Personally I think those folk have every right to protest about the closures.

Just because a small country town has a low crime rate, surely this doesn't justify closing a local police station in my opinion.

Deterrent factor.......

Not that I know of Tom. I agree with you mate.

The LN and LR vehicles were with the protest between Dumbleyung and Kukerin.

How big was the turnout in "Mumblebum" (what my mate called the place when he worked there...)

There was a few, numerous SJA Vehicles and Fire Vehicles came also. I was there with SJA but joined LN boys as I knew them all. Shire President came in and gave a short speech also.

Good to hear the support is there from the community... shame it's not seen by the big-wigs in East Perth.

Nothing ever is seen out of the city, unless it's bad
