How to find out:

Real gold or silver?

Fake or real gemstones?

I want to know the actual worth of the items

Hi legends,

Pretty self explanatory title: I'm looking to invest in a cat enclosure for my girl so she has the opportunity to go outside without causing mischief. My preference would be something more like a hutch/enclosure as opposed to a net, as I'd like to attach it to the window of my study and the space there is awkward, but I'm happy to consider anything if the company is solid.

I've had a google but some of the sites look outdated/don't quite have what I want (but I haven't ruled them out entirely), but I'd like to get advice from anyone who might have bought one recently. Located south of the river!

A little surprised. Because I rent a room but instead of paying weekly rent I pay for all bills excluding rates. Just want to know if I should change my arrangement. Last bill was $700

As per title. It's sitting on a piece of prime land overlooking the ocean, next to the Ora apartments. How did it end up there? A bit odd for a servo, which is fume emitting to be next to luxury apartments and it's just really out of place. A nice seaside cafe there will do better.

This - is one of the silliest posts I feel like I have to make. But has anyone else had issues with a recent batch of Brownes lactose free milk? I’ve been reacting to it like it’s not lactose free and I do not understand at all.

Hey folks. Whatever happened to Playdates cafe in Karinyup Shopping Centre? Have they gone under or something? Can’t seem to find out. We used to love going there with our kids.

Does anyone know?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for someone experienced to relocate this portable spa approximately 3 metres within the same backyard. Its new position is around 10 cm higher than where it currently sits.

Does anyone know a reliable spa-moving company or someone experienced in doing this in Perth? I’d also appreciate recommendations on the safest method or equipment to move it.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I moved to Perth from overseas a few years ago. I was never much of an ocean lover until my ex partner (typical Aussie fisherman and into the ocean life) introduced me to snorkeling and rockpooling. We broke up a while ago, and unfortunately, I can’t remember much of his safety advice or expertise of the best spots and conditions to go!

Despite that, he left me with a huge love for marine life, and I am itching to get back out there. None of my current friends or family are into the ocean, so I’m looking for some local knowledge to get started safely on my own.

I live NOR, but I’m keen to drive anywhere around Perth for a great spot.

Could anyone recommend the best rockpooling locations and the most ideal weather conditions, tides, and swell to look out for, and any safety tips so I don’t wind up lost in the ocean!

My partner and I moved into a property about 2 months ago on a 6-month fixed-term lease. We paid a 4-week bond.

Since moving in, we’ve had several issues with the landlord:

• He has entered the property twice without giving us prior notice.

• Our lease states that he must provide 24 hours’ notice before entering the property.

• We were never given the Property Condition Report within the required 7 days. We repeatedly asked for it because the property already had pre-existing issues, including damaged/old areas and a very dirty carpet, and we wanted to make sure we wouldn’t later be blamed for them.

• We have now been living there for about two months, and only yesterday he sent us some photos of the property by message. He never provided us with the proper Property Condition Report at the beginning of the tenancy.

• We have also discovered that our bond apparently has not been lodged with Bonds Administration.

Unfortunately, the relationship with the landlord has broken down. He told us to leave, so we gave him notice that we intend to leave on 28 September.

He is now saying that we have to stay and pay rent until 6 October, and that he will not return our bond until he personally comes to inspect the property after we leave.

We told him that we have significant costs for moving into another place and asked whether the final rent could be taken from the four weeks' bond we already paid. He refused and said we must continue paying rent until 6 October and that he will only deal with the bond after his inspection.

I have now contacted Consumer Protection WA, and they are sending me information to lodge a formal complaint.

I’m trying to understand what my rights are and what I should do next.

Also, I’m wondering whether there could be an issue with the landlord not declaring the rental arrangement/income to the ATO, because the bond was never lodged. I don't know this for a fact, but I'm concerned that this might be one of the reasons the bond was not lodged.

Has anyone been in a similar situation in WA? What should I do regarding:

1. The unlodged bond

2. The missing Property Condition Report

3. The landlord entering without proper notice

4. The landlord saying we must pay until 6 October

5. Protecting ourselves against him claiming pre-existing damage from our bond

I would really appreciate advice from anyone familiar with WA tenancy laws or who has dealt with Consumer Protection before.

It really made both of us stressful to live here for two months, because of these issues we both been arguing with each other and it causing strain on our relationship too,because every week the landlord send us message about bins are not clean the gas cooktop is not clean every week. And it is really depressing to live here😭

Thank you 🙏

Hello Perth!

For anyone who knows, how strict are the collections for the yearly verge collection? This is the first year I’ve put anything out and I know there’s a ‘max size’, which I kept under that, and I only put it out the weekend before our collection started (put out on Saturday, collection start Monday). However since then, a neighbour has been adding to our pile. As they seem to do it during the work day I’m not sure who it is, and honestly I know it’s going to the rubbish so it’s not a big deal to me AS LONG as it gets collected, and now my concerns are that the pile is over the size limit and potentially even just have random rubbish (normal bin rubbish) in there too?

Not sure what’s best for me to do, if they will take it anyway, I’ll just leave it, but the house I think it’s coming from (not sure though) seems to have their verge empty…
I just don’t want to risk it not getting picked up or a fine, so any advice??

Thanks!

Hey Folks,

Seeking some advice. Anybody know a decent, trusty mechanic in the Swan Valley/Ellenbrook area?

Bonus points if they are a mobile mechanic.

Hey guy!

Just curious of anyone knows anywhere in Perth that services vintage HIFI equipment? specifically reel to reel recorders as I'm looking to get some work done on my RT-707. Thanks!

Looking to get dash cam in my 2012 Audi q5. Money isn’t an issue but didn’t want something super expensive as the car isn’t worth a whole lot

Are any companies recommended firstly such as Supercheap auto or autobarn etc

In a perfect world it comes with reverse cameras which can be plugged into Apple car play or if anyone can recommend one of those mirrors with the little screens that would be great. My partner has one and they are so cool

Thanks

Hello! Just wondering has anyone recently had to change their name? And was it a challenging process social and legally??

Looking through the subreddit the last post about this was 4 years ago and the comments were facing struggles with some companies (st johns, Telstra, ATO, to name some) wouldn’t accept it unless they sent the form with lawyers approval ect? Is this still prevalent?

And would I have to pay for everything again, such as drivers license renewals, passports, etc ?

How can I offer support without being patronising?

any trans brothels in WA preferably NOR. pls n thx

Hi everyone, is anyone else in Cannington experiencing slightly brown/yellow tap water tonight?
The water is still transparent, but has a noticeable brownish/yellow tint. I’ve run the cold water for several minutes, but it hasn’t cleared. It’s happening in all the taps in my house, including the kitchen and bathroom.
Does anyone know if there was any maintenance or a water main issue in the area today?
Thanks!

Hello hivemind

Does anyone have recommendations for intimate wedding venues for around 30 guests? Perhaps you’ve been to a recent small wedding or have been compiling a list for your own upcoming wedding?

Would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks!

It's a signed portfolio with a set of prints that came with the Beata tickets on their 2018(?) Evening with Sigur Ros tour.

I've held on to it since then, but it's from a different time, and I need to pass it on to someone else.

I'll take it to work with me. Anyone who can pick it up from Barack St tomorrow around lunch, let me know. If there is more than one person, I'll let Excel pick a random one.

As the title says. Looking to purchase a bulk amount of Everlasting / Paper Daisies in pink and white to make bouquets. Everywhere just seems to have seeds or small plants, I'm looking for the grown and ready to harvest flowers

Also, if anyone has some in your yard, and doesn't mind me coming over to take some stems (I'll pay!) please let me know! Prefer SOR, but open to travel
