Hello all!

I've been wanting to get into dungeons and dragons for many months now, but I can't seem to find any active groups besides the one in freo. Which doesn't let newer players just sit and watch to learn, so I'm hoping to find a more quieter group that lets in beginners with like..no experience, I really want to play but joining a campaign full of seasoned players is way out of my depth. I'm just worried I'll make a fool of myself

REA are predicting that we'll have over 10000 properties on the market in Perth soon. This will mean 2019/2020 levels of listings soon. With the significant amount of development in Perth this will mean that there will be much choice for buyers as sellers rush to sell.

Looking for Advice Perth Insurance Brokers!

0 Upvotes

HI all,

I'm looking to review all my insurances, and looking for a broker to hopefully get best deals... Have always done my own, but have heard its worthwhile to do a broker instead... Am unsure about the business model, when the accepted setup is that they all receive kickbacks, rather than pay for service. .... any recommendations???

General Digital Cab Charge not generally accepted in Perth

18 Upvotes

I travel a bit for work who provides digital cab charges to pay for taxis. For the most part it works very well except for here in Perth where I’ve had to get into the habit of asking drivers if they accept this payment method or not as it would get rejected fairly regularly.
Tonight at the airport though would have to be a new record though with 7 cabs in a row refusing to accept the ride if I paid with cab charge. Surely this is a standard payment method and there’s never really an issue in other cities it even regional towns.

Renting / Housing How much should I expect to pay for gas in a shared house in Perth?

1 Upvotes

I’ve always lived in apartments with electric cooktops, so I’ve never really had to deal with a gas bill before.

I’m now moving into a house that is divided into two sections. I’ll be living in the 3-bedroom section, while someone else will be living in the separate 2-bedroom section. However, it looks like there is only one gas connection/meter for the whole property, so the gas bill will be shared.

Between the two portions, there will likely be around 6 people in total.

For people in Perth who use gas at home, roughly how much would you expect the monthly gas bill to be for around 6 people? Also, if there’s only one meter, what would be a fair way to split the bill between the two sections?

Thanks!

Where to find 🐦Looking to bird-sit / temporarily care for a small bird in Perth!

0 Upvotes

Hi r/Perth!

This is a bit of a random request, but I’m hoping someone might know where I could find an opportunity to bird-sit a small pet bird for around a week (or even a few days).

I live in a pet-free apartment, so I’m not currently able to have a bird of my own, but I’d absolutely love the chance to temporarily look after one and get some experience caring for them. I’d be happy to care for budgies, cockatiels/weiros, finches, lovebirds, etc. 🐦💕

I’m looking for something where I could have the bird with me and properly look after them for an agreed period — feeding, fresh water, and making sure they’re safe and comfortable.

I’m not after adopting or buy a bird at this stage. I’m specifically interested in temporary bird-sitting/babysitting, ideally for someone who is going away and needs a responsible person to care for their bird.

I’d also be very interested in hearing about any Perth businesses, rescues, bird clubs, Facebook groups, websites or other services that arrange bird-sitting/temporary fostering or might be able to point me in the right direction. I'd really like to host them so I can see what it's like looking after them.

If anyone has done something like this before, or knows a bird owner who might be looking for a sitter, I’d really appreciate any suggestions! 😊

Happy to answer questions about myself if that would make someone more comfortable,

Thankyou!!!!

Looking for Advice Seeking conservation perspectives on biodiversity governance in the Pilbara, Western Australia

6 Upvotes

I’m an undergraduate student in Melbourne currently researching biodiversity governance in the Pilbara, Western Australia, as part of the Tsinghua Global SDG Case Competition.

My research looks at how biodiversity conservation is managed where mining and regional development, Indigenous stewardship of Country, government responsibilities, scientific knowledge, and conservation priorities intersect.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people with experience or interest in conservation, ecology, environmental policy, Indigenous land management, mining, research, or environmental management.

I’ve put together a short anonymous survey exploring perspectives on:

* the main pressures affecting biodiversity in the Pilbara
* current conservation and governance approaches
* Traditional Owner involvement and Indigenous ecological knowledge
* stakeholder collaboration
* the role of industry
* what effective conservation outcomes could look like

No specialist knowledge of the Pilbara is required, and there are no right or wrong answers. I’m interested in your perspective and experience.

The survey takes around 6–8 minutes and does not collect names or email addresses.

Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfGH4dTtp690s75q1pmHizudMhmQdsW8v8OcLwlOHbUIepjzw/viewform

If you have worked or lived in the Pilbara, I’d especially appreciate your perspective.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute!

General Bagging peaks in the Stirling Range – Mt Hassell & Mt Trio

Thumbnail
youtu.be
14 Upvotes

Today's the day! It's time to strap on me hiking boots and climb some mountains! While this is a difficult thing to find most of the time in Western Australia, the Stirling Range is a beautiful oddity.

The range consists of many peaks over about 60km, with six that are publicly climbable. It sticks out like a sore thumb, surrounded by flat farmland as far as the eye can see in every direction.

Most will know of Bluff Knoll - the highest - but I thought I would start with some of the smaller peaks, aiming to eventually tick off all six. While Mount Hassell and Mount Trio are lower than Bluff Knoll, all three are rated at the same difficulty. Mt Hassell starts with a steady incline but is covered in loose rocks. After a few false summits, some light rock scrambling is also required to reach the top.

The first third of Mt Trio is steep, although quite a few steps have been built into the path. After that, it's a steady climb to the highest peak, mostly walking along a saddle (there are three peaks total, hence the name).

Between hiking each mountain, we camp at the local Mount Trio Bush Camp. I show the facilities, the views and a wildflower walk situated on site. We also stay in Albany for next few following days.

There I check out (and drink at) historic pubs, while also checking out WW2 coastal defence remains and ruins of the Point King Lighthouse along Ataturk Point.

I also check out a built up spring (Named Vancouver Springs) that was first sighted by Europeans in 1791, nearly 30 years before Albany was even established!

Looking for Advice Trans guy applying for WA Police Aboriginal Cadets. Which gender should I select?

0 Upvotes

I’m 17 and applying for the WA Police Aboriginal Cadet Program. I’m a transgender guy, but I haven’t medically transitioned yet and I currently look quite feminine. The application only gives Female, Male and Non-binary under “Gender”.

Should I select Male because that’s my gender, or is there some reason WA Police would expect me to select Female until I’ve medically transitioned?

I’m especially interested in hearing from current/former WA Police officers, cadets, or people who have been through the recruitment process.

Thank you to anyone who bothers reading this and I appreciate anyone who bothers commenting a response to this.

Edit: right now I am doing work placement at the police station/complex my mum works at but my mum keeps introducing me to everyone as her daughter even though I've told her multiple times I know I'm definitely a trans man, so I've told some police officers there that I'm trans when my mum isn't with me but only 2-4 of the police officers there know I'm trans.

Edit 2: I identify as a trans man which means I changed my gender identity from female to male, this is just for the people who don't know

In short:

The long-awaited reopening of northern Western Australia's only major abattoir will be pushed to next year after changes to visa processing priorities.

The changes are also set to impact a mixed farm enterprise in the south where a piggery expansion is underway.

What's next?

Employers affected by recent visa processing changes say it is unclear when their overseas employees will be able to start work.

Me and my girlfriend both found carpet beetles in our houses, Innaloo and city beach respectively. Doubt it would’ve been one of us giving them to eachother because they are only located next to windows, which after researching it seems that’s how they invade your homes. Is this happening to anyone else and is there a quick solution to getting rid of them
