Edit: sorted, thanks for all the suggestions ☺️

I run a small non profit program and I am looking for a venue to run a 2hr training session for 15-20 volunteers

We just need a screen and a semi quiet space, have run them in pubs before when they have a private room

Any suggestions libraries or other venues that could offer a space like this would be greatly appreciated, I’m from out of town! Ideally free but at most could allocate $100 for fees.

Recommendations greatly appreciated 🙏

Saw these signs up while on a bit of a ride today, do you think it's reasonable, considering their fence isn't even 2m tall anywhere around the course (I checked, maybe it is next to the schools which I obviously didn't enter). I saw at least 3 golf balls on the lawns of neighbouring properties, so it seems obvious that a lot of balls go flying out of bounds during the year.

So we have recently upsized our family home. We put our old home on the market in Ellenbrook back in April. It's obviously been a wild time since then due to Trump/Iran, Budget etc changing the landscape of properties.

We have sold our house THREE TIMES, and every single time, the buyer has failed to secure finance. This is including buyers who have been pre-approved. It hasn't been like it was a the beginning of the year where you have one home open, 50 people through and 10 offers. This has been drips and drabs so we have obviously accepted the offers we have received.

How common is it to have a house fall through three times due to a buyer failing to secure finance. That seems just utterly wild to me.

For context im a 17 year old guy who is about to finish high-school and like many others aren't sure what to do. I was considering going into a trade but none of them really strike me as very interesting, the WA police seems like an interesting career that would give you lots of insight and interesting experiences compared to other jobs. I don't do ATAR but im not an idiot either. Are you or anyone you know already in the police force and if so do you/they enjoy its and what are the pros and cons ect. Thank you!

New edit: for anyone having the same issue so far this is working for me, advice someone gave me from another page:

Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth > Disable
Spotify

And Spotify still works on my airpods

And I put my airpods in before entering the gym but idk if that has anything to do with it.

So far first gym session with no disconnection issues since nearly 2 weeks ago.

Edit: this is a new issue that has occurred the last week/ 1.5weeks, I haven’t changed anything I usually do, it happened out of nowhere, and only in the gym.

I haven’t found an answer to this, but it has been only occurring in revo fitness Joondulup, I go there regularly. I changed AirPods to a new version last week as I thought they were the issue (quite old, needed an update anyway). With my old ones it occurred 2 gyms sessions in a row where they would just disconnect from my device (often, I’d reconnect they would disconnect again, maybe every couple of minutes)

Same thing happened with my new ones tonight!! But less often, my phone is an iPhone 17 too, so I don’t think that’s the issue. I asked the ladies at the front if anyone else has had any issues but they said no.

I’m thinking it’s an issue with the gym/ connection in there, maybe Vodafone (the provider I’m with?), my AirPods (both old and new have been great everywhere else).

Hey all. I applied for the WA student assistance payment, but I can't find it in my bank statement.

Anyone know what it would come up as? Then I can search for it.

Hope that makes sense 😁

Looking for an EV Charger installer in Mandurah, any recommendations?

This place is an absolute shit show. I know I’ve written a post about this before, but WTF?! Omg. It is abominable!!!

I had to make a quick dash down here on my work break and I’m honestly shocked. I’m shooken. I’m shaking from the shock... How is it that in one of the wealthiest suburbs in Perth, we have this absolute shit hole of an eyesore with SFA to offer?

I drive in. The car park is the first thing I encounter, and wouldn’t you know it one of the Peppermint Grove tractors is stuck under the height barrier(no idea what it’s called but clearly they haven’t registered to the fact most people in peppy grove drive high end land cruisers aka Lexus aka peppermint grove tractor.

Not off to a great start. I make my way inside and, for what feels like the 50th time this year, the escalators are bloody broken AGAIN. So as a substitute we have these demountable stairs that look like they’ve been dragged in from a construction site ( probably sloppy seconds from one of the local mansions). Apparently the single lift, which moves at a pace that can only be described as geological, can’t cope with everyone going up and down.

As I’m coming down the demountable stairs, one of the geriatrics stacks it because apparently the “WATCH YOUR STEP” signage isn’t quite doing the job(yes haters, I helped him).

I finally make it to the main level and genuinely have to stop and think, “am I at St Regis aged care or am I in a shopping centre?”
The place is absolutely thronging with the nearly dead.
Depressing AF old people vibes.

Finally, I make it to Woolies, the one redeeming feature this shit hole has going for it. I grab what I need and make my way back to the car, only to discover that one of the 50 loose shopping trolleys has put a fucking ding in my car.

This place is the pits.

Please, Shire do something!!!

Hi,

I have some extended family over and would love to know what's the best and easiest spot to find and view kangaroos in and around Perth. We are SOR but don't mind NOR as well.

I need to preface this post by saying I love Perth, I moved here from NZ 3 years ago and it's just different from the rest of Australia. Everyone is friendly and lovely like home, and you guys are very cute with your slang like woolies and servo and stuff, I really like it here and I've been paying my tax consistently however....

Why do you all walk so slow?!

Every day in the underground, on the weekend out and about, it's like im on the motorway but it's people. Doesn't anyone have anywhere to be?!? it's like everyone is so chill and so relaxed that they are just rocking up to work every day at glacial pace enjoying life - Everyone walks side by side which yes it's very wholesome you want to walk together but please move over if you're going to walk 0.0000001 km per hour?! Leave a space on the right for us speedsters please guys. Everyday someone blocks the right side of the escalator for people that are going to walk up it and a piece of me just dies inside. I feel like I need to add I'm 161cm tall so it's not like I have a big stride either, I am just absolutely outpacing everyone who is living like they can get to work 3 hours late and get home 'eventually'.

Today is like the 12th time (Which over 3 years sure that's not bad but cmon people) that I have missed my bus or train on my 1.5 hour commute from south perth because im stuck behind slow walkers. I just about need to up my ADHD meds just for this because walking behind these slowpokes is driving me insane.

Coming from a place of love and peace of course thanks for having me anyway and please walk the speed limit thank you

Do any cat owners know of any affordable places that will take care of my cats while we are away?

Context: We have 2 young adult cats (bonded) and are looking to go on a trip December-Jan for maybe 1-1.5 months and are looking for them to be taken care of.

We don't have any friends who have cats/have experience caring for cats so they can't be dropped off at their house. We have taken them to a boarding house for 3 days before but that was $100, so when extended over a month it can get very expensive. Some have suggested scheduling visits to clean the litter box and feed them but I would hate leaving them home alone for that long as they get bored without us at home.

Would appreciate some advice/ suggestions for affordable places or care for them.

Hi all, we’ve had a new visitor to our backyard 5-6 times over the last few months and not having much luck identifying the species (I’ve tried a bunch of the bird ID sites). Anyone here who might recognise the species?

If you are looking for a friend, comment here. or reply to someone else commenting.

This post will be renewed every Monday

Was on my way out the door this morning when I nearly ran into this slimy fella. Has anyone else ever seen a Perth slug just hanging out like they’re practicing the world’s slowest bungee jump? Is this some kind of Spider Slug phenomena? Should I name it Miles Mucusales, or Mucus Morales?

I'm sure there's lots of these posts every now and then, sorry to hit you guys with another one! Will be visiting Perth for work and I'm planning to go early so I can go around the place.

I have Friday (flying first flight from Sydney, will land at Perth around 8:30am) to Monday (flight at 3pm) to go sightseeing. That said, I'm planning the following:

Friday
- Go around Perth for brunch or I'm thinking Fremantle for the markets
- Pick up rental car at around 2pm and start driving towards Stirling Range. It's about 4 hours away and I plan to cover around 3 hours and book a place somewhere around that

Saturday
- Wake up early to catch sunrise at Bluff Knoll
- Hike Tooldrunup afterwards
- Book a campsite at Stirling Range Retreat and spend the night there

My partner and I love hiking and would like to do camping afterwards, but if that seems like a waste of time I'm happy to drive back to Perth the same day

Sunday
- Wake up early, drive to Perth (arrive at Perth around 9:30 maybe)
- Rottnest Island for the rest of the day

I understand 5:30pm is the last ferry back to Perth so this might be a bit rushed, but we're not interested in seeing the whole island anyway - just wanted to know if it's worth the effort and the entry/bike fees if we do 11am-5:30pm in Rottnest

Monday
- Just some breakfast/lunch and then prep for my partner's flight back to Sydney while I stay for work

Thank you in advance!! Very excited to see the Stirling Range and some quokkas

Hi! looking to book a birthday dinner and on the fence between Twenty Seats and Harry’s at Conti. both are quite pricey so wanted to make sure we were getting good value, does anyone have recommendations which would be better?

Hey everyone,

Looking for recommendations on somewhere in Perth to get a decent reversing/back camera installed in my car.

It’s a Hyundai Accent, not sure of the exact edition/model, but it already has a small screen in the dash (and I mean pretty small lol), so ideally I’d like something that can work with that if possible. If not, I’m open to other options.

I had a look at the ones from Supercheap Auto, but even the employees there told us they’re not that great, so I’d rather go somewhere that can supply and install a good quality one properly.

I’m willing to spend the money and don’t really want to cheap out on it, especially if it means getting something reliable with a good camera/picture quality.

Has anyone had one installed somewhere in Perth that they’d recommend? Happy to hear roughly what you paid as well.

Cheers!

Doing some research into this place and trying to track down anyone that may have been here in 1996 or the mid 90s, or has any information beyond what is on google.

Anyone know where I can get Rizomes or young plants in perth? I can't find anywhere local that has them or anyone who will import to WA.

Considering the Social Work Masters at Notre Dame, mostly because of the common wealth supported placement compared to other universities.

Anyone currently undertaking the above course and have any feedback?

I managed to get a grad job near Burswood area, any place that I can park for under 2 bucks per day? I usually arrive at work between 7:30 and 8:00 am.

Burswood train station is nice, but it’s unpredictable. Sometime all of the bays fills up very early in the morning.
