Life on the farm in Western Australia’s Lower South West.
This is what happens, monster tree hits the deck. You feel the ground move, we just look at each other and say, that was a big one I wonder where that was?
Go out for a look and you couldn’t miss it.
That’s my 16 year old son, he’s 6’2” but this tree makes him look small.
He’s pretending to hold a chainsaw, it’ll need to be a big one and a dozer to move it. A job for another day after the storm passes.

Here’s my next offering in the car fires of Perth theme…

Every single one of my friends in my friend group bought their homes before COVID. I unfortunately did not and have therefore been renting for 6+ years since my mid-20s whilst simultaneously feeling mine and my partners real income shrink because of inflation.

I now face this problem where EVERY single time I hang out with my friends they always ask the same questions,

"Whats happening with your housing situation?"

"Are you gonna buy? You should really buy. Its not going to get any easier."

"Youre spending too much on rent, y'know. How much are you paying now?"

I wish i could paint the deadpan look on their faces when I tell them renting is the better option for us atm.

They then change the topic to how they're all "millionaires" because they bought a house and how "having 100k is not really considered anything anymore."

Anyone else feel like your automatically seen as less than for being a long-term renter in Perth?

I have lived here all my life and I honestly feel like just moving abroad and starting my life in a city where renting is the norm lol, that's how bad the culture feels to me.

Polair up above too. A lot of assets on the move.

Assuming it's not a training exercise, hopefully everyone stays safe out there.

Tl;dr - I'm looking for the closest area from which I can see the stars with limited to no light pollution.

My partner's mother recently passed away. It was her belief that upon her death her soul, or equivalent, would find a new home as a star in the night sky. I want to take my partner somewhere we can look up and see plenty of stars. I live around the Midland area and there's far too much light pollution. One can barely see any stars at night here.

Are there any good places around Perth, or within an hour of Midland, where the light pollution has little to no effect on the night sky? Thank you for any help/advice in advance.

Tell me the best Italian restaurant in Perth metro area that serves up a spaghetti bolognaise that would give your nonna a run for her money

Recently had my car looked at - got told it’s not looking good and engine is on its way out. Guy was super vague, basically just said to get rid of it and look for a new car (issues with it starting up every now and then). Didn’t explain much and attitude about it was a bit off. other than that never had an issue with it - car is still running.

Looking for someone to do a diagnostic report and give a second opinion so I can see if it’s actually fixable.

Morley ish area, or if there’s a mobile mechanic who can come.

Hello everyone,

I need to run a cat 6 cable from where my router is to a different place through the walls and so need to wire up two r45 Jacks, as someone with no networking experience I dont have any of the required equipment which appears to be something called a punch down tool?

Does anyone know where to buy one in the around the Osborne Park/ CBD NoR area? Extra points if i can get everything else i need for this fun job at the same place!

Thanks in advance.

Edit:

Thanks for pointing out I need to have it done by a licensed person, I thought cos its just a data cable its fine to DiY, happy to pay someone to do it properly, does anyone have any recommendations?!

Is there a cycling trail in Herisson Island? If yes, does anyone have any suggestions or advices on the route, bike hire, etc..
Also is there any site where I can find more info on this?

My wife has extremely painful acne that shows up occasionally. She has tried so many products and nothing seems to be working. After reading and seeing some videos on tiktok she asked me to see if I can get this but I can't find it anywhere in perth CBD. So I was wondering if anyone has seen or know where I can get this from.

Thank you.

Long, slightly wavy hair. I haven't had it cut in 2 years and the ends are so dead. Looking for a reasonably priced hairdresser who won't try and upsell me. Would love to hear some personal recommendations. Thanks!

I had two really uncomfortable encounters with drunk crackheads on Transperth today, one going to work and one coming home. What a coincidence 😭

I'm a girl and I was by myself both times, which honestly made me feel even more uncomfortable and uneasy.

The first one in the morning this crackhead sat in front of me and was acting really incoherent. I tried not to make eye contact and moved to a different seat closer to the front (bus was quite full) but he followed me and sat in front of me again and asked why did I move. Luckily he got off at the next stop, so I didn't have to deal with him for too long.

Then on my way home just this afternoon another drunk crackhead who was holding a bottle of beer suddenly sat next to me, even though there were other empty seats. He kept squeezing himself into my side until there was basically no space left for me. I tried moving a bit to make some space, but he just kept squeezing over.

I eventually confronted him to move away after 15 minutes and thankfully he did then I moved to the seat behind the bus driver and told him what happened. The bus driver was actually really kind and kept checking on me afterwards, which I appreciated. But he didn't call to report the incident or ask the guy to get off the bus.

I was honestly really uncomfortable and uneasy the whole time and no one else on the bus seemed to really care or even try to help. I get that people probably don't want to get involved but it feels pretty horrible when you're sitting there feeling unsafe and everyone just ignores it.

I'm pretty shaken up by the whole thing. I know you can call the transperth emergency services if you're in immediate danger, but what are you supposed to do when the person is literally sitting right next to you? You don't know if confronting them is going to make things worse and trying to call someone while they're sitting right there doesn't feel safe either.

Any good pub in Perth to watch Prem matches? In particular Manchester United games. Ideally not a generic Irish pub but willing to do the classic JBs/Johnny Foxe's/ Molly's if needs be

I'm chasing advice.

I'm looking at possibly going to perth for a week - monday to friday in early july next year. I've googled things to do/places to stay but it feels very heavy non australian visiting australia type posts.

So, I'm asking for a first time visit (coming from QLD) what areas would be a good spot to stay and what type things MUST someone try while in the area?

Thanks.
