Family and Business Friendly Search Engine

What’s your family looking at?

The Internet transmits straight into our family homes. What is being let into your home?

Wotuseek.com is a free search engine. It aims to be a competitive alternative to the major search engines on the internet. What distinguishes Wotuseek.com from any other search engine is that it filters out Adult content and hate content. This is a permanent feature that is regularly updated, welcoming feedback if inappropriate sites are missed by the filter (so they can be filtered out for future families). Unlike most of the major search engines, Wotuseek.com does not profit, promote or advertise pornography. We have already removed approximately 200,000,000 inappropriate sites!!! (That is not a misprint!)

Hi my name is Simon Clayson, I am one of the Directors of Wotuseek.com. I am married and a father to a little girl and a little boy. Wotuseek.com was born out of frustration with the major search engines returning random and inappropriate Adult sites when I was searching for business purposes. This was more evident when I was searching for children’s sites for my daughter, (such as nursery rhymes) with adult sites produced in the search. I did not want to see those images and I definitely do not want my son or my daughter to see such degrading and inappropriate images. What if I was not there while my daughter was searching?

Wotuseek.com has been designed to search the internet like any other search engine. You will be able to find anything BUT Adult content. It is very useful for Educational or Business use. We are also removing gambling sites as part of our ongoing filtering activities.

Wotuseek.com is providing an additional service to its users. There is a link for anyone who has problems with addiction (internet/pornography/sexual) and would like assistance to overcome this addiction.

We would love your support. You can access Wotuseek.com and make Wotuseek.com your permanent search engine. You will not only be supporting a search engine with family friendly beliefs but sending a message to the other search engines to clean up their act!


We appreciate your time and attention. Please forward this to everyone you know.
From the team at Wotuseek.com

ANZAC Day

Kings Park War Memorial

The Last Post

The Ode came from 'For the Fallen', a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon and was published in London in The Winnowing Fan: Poems on the Great War in 1914.

The Ode

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

We went to the ANZAC Day Dawn Service, and I was surprised to see the number of people gathered. News reports say that there were 40,000 people there, and judging by the sea of people I saw, I'd believe it. There were a number of video screens, so everyone could see what was happening. It was a moving ceremony with a solemn address.

Lest we forget.

Point Fraser

Today we rode our bikes down to Point Fraser, just off the Causeway in East Perth. When we first moved to Perth, this was just a carpark, then some lawn and aging playground. The City Of Perth started a redevelopment project and the first stage is now open. There is a car park, playground, amphitheater, and art.

The aim of the project was to recycle the storm water and runoff from East Perth, to recreate a mini-wetlands, and provide another recreation area close to the river. I think the result is fantastic, and like other developments along the Swan River foreshore adds tremendous value to Perth.








There are many seats along the pathways. Along the back of the seats are parts of a story, so if you follow the path you can get a picture of life in Perth. There are also snippets written in the paths. A couple of the seats also had snippets written in braille, made of raised chrome dots on the concrete background.

The amphitheater faces the river, and consists of four grassed tiers.

Behind the recreation area is a carpark, a bus bay, and roundabout.






There is a board walk over a spring that feeds into the river. Other board walks skirt some of the developed wetland areas and contain a marker with street signs and directions.

There are also free public BBQs throughout the area.












The playground in the center has swings and slides, a climbing wall, as well as a Liberty Swing, designed for children with mobility problems. This swing appeared on ABC's New Inventors program.

There is also a lookout which provides an excellent view of the playground and river.

There is a bust of explorer Nicolas Baudin, and a short biography of his life. This bust was donated to the City of Perth by the Terra Australis 2001 committee to commemorate the bicentenary of the Baudin Expedition.
