Rob Turner has lived (and survived) an adventurous life which culminated in self publishing Home the Hard Way.

It is the story of his attempted world circumnavigation (1992/95) starting from Sydney, and thwarted in Saudi Arabia  and the enforced return to Perth against the prevailing winds and currents in his 7.1 metre badly leaking yacht with a largely unusable engine. De-masting, skipper overboard, pirates, strandings and near misses with massive ships are just some of the adventures which make this a fascinating talk.

The talk will be followed by light refreshments.

Baby massage is a gentle way for parents and their infants to connect and to gain benefits including:

• pain relief and discomfort from colic and wind
• improves sleep and reduces stress
• promotes bonding and trust

This is a small group exercise for parents and their babies aged 6 weeks to pre-crawlers to get a taste for baby massage and how it can fit with your parenting.

Jane Tetley is an infant massage instructor and nurse with a background in midwifery and child health.
