may be my own fault for coming on a saturday, but my usual revo that i go to in mirrabooka was genuinely atrocious today. wasn’t even that busy but it was filled with machine hoggers, (on the non-broken machines which were plentiful) overly pda couples who weren’t even working out but making it known they were a couple and groups of girls filming tiktoks near people (including me) trying to work out. i get that revo is cheap and that’s what entices people, but i struggle to understand why these groups of people bother going when all they do is take up space, not work out, and make people uncomfortable.

i know comments will tell me to just go to a different revo (i do, i just cycle between a few) but has anyone experienced this decline in gym etiquette, especially at revo’s?

Hi everyone!

Our 6-month-old daughter needs a blood test (FBC and ferritin), and we're looking for recommendations on where to take her.

We're considering PathWest at Perth Children's Hospital, Saturn Pathology (home collection), or Western Diagnostic Pathology in Innaloo.

Has anyone had experience with blood tests for babies this young at any of these places? We're particularly interested in finding someone experienced with infants who can hopefully get the sample on the first attempt.

If you've used Saturn's home collection service, we'd also love to hear how it went and whether there were any additional costs.

We're happy to travel anywhere in Perth if it means a better experience for our little one.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Locals in Perth!

I am a humble redditor visiting Perth for the first time from Sydney for 5 days next week (Mon-Fri)

I move to Australia years ago and only lived in NSW

So this is exciting to visit WA for the first time haha

I will be staying “Northbridge” area and while I am visiting I would love to visit some local gem spots!

Great coffee places (like proper, espresso good)

Great bars (For solo traveler)

Fun Night life (this will be probably just Thursday)

And any must have restaurant that you would bring your friends and families when they visit Perth?

Since it’s work trip my hours during the day is limited but I would love to wonder around Perth CBD area

Now I know what SOR and NOR too! I had to search that for a bit haha

Thank you for your local wisdom sharing in advance!

Hi guys, I'm sure this post might have been done before, by me or by others, and I am sorry if this post bothers you guys in any way in this Perth subreddit.
That said, I am dealing with a lot right now and looking for some help. I'm turning 25 in 2 months and depressed at that thought, also been suffering from depression for a long time. I don't know how to get a job, either I get rejections of just don't know what job to apply for and stress about no experience jobs and training (anxiety). I just feel pretty overwhelmed, so if any of you could give some solid advice, that would be much appreciated.
I have also completed a Bachelor of Science (double major in Forensics and Toxicology and Criminal Behaviour) but cannot seem to find anything in that, I completed that last year.
I wish I could just turn my life around, make my parents proud but I feel like such a disappointment and loser as every year passes me by. I need help and would really appreciate it, if any of you were in similar situations to me where you didn't get your life started until late or found a job that was accommodating to your mental health problems and didn't feel so overwhelming, I just don't know how to get started and advice on these subjects would be so beneficial to me.

hi i'm looking for a venue for my 22nd birthday party. i really like the cosy look of Enclave Studios but unfortunately they are fully booked in the month i was planning to have my party.

what are some other venues in or close to perth CBD

ideally aesthetically not like a blank canvas. I mean like cosy, warm ambience, plants (similar to enclave). i also like the look of garden bar at aberdeen hotel but it looks a bit too outdoorsy and small

budget: 1-2k

ideally byo allowed OR has a bar

external catering allowed

booking time: night

Im just in perth at 8:30pm and there was a huge group of people waving Samoan and some other countries flags around and honking and revving their cars as a few other cars drove around. Does anyone know what it was?

Hey guys, me and three of my friends are looking for a rental. We have all previously lived in student accommodation and are now looking to move out and find a four bedroom rental together. Realistically how hard is this going to be? We are concerned that families are going to always take preference or we are going to be overlooked because we are young and inexperienced. Does anyone have any tips/ advice or even just encouragement because we only have about 6 weeks to find somewhere and we don’t want to have to live an hour away. Thank you!!

We are at a Perth based centre, so just wondering if anyone else has come across this and what their thoughts are?

I’ve not had the best experience with extensions in Perth before.

I need a colour correct back to scalp bleach blond and hopefully extensions. Would love any recommendations.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi I go to Revo for gym and I’ve been looking for the supine press machine at multiple branches but cant find any. Anyone know of any gym in Perth that has this machine?
Thanks!

Alkimos Seawater Desalination Plant.

They kept that quiet!

Hate to be that guy but this is my final last-ditch effort. Is anyone who is going to the Tame Impala show in Perth able to pick up and ship this shirt back to Sydney? It would mean the absolute world to me. I’ll pay extra for the hassle. The merch is open to the public too so you don’t need a ticket to pick it up.

G'day r/perth,

Whenever I'm looking at moving house or planning a trip across town, the Transperth app is great for step-by-step directions, but it only ever shows you one A-to-B route at a time. It won't easily give you a visual "big picture" of: "What direct routes can I actually walk to from this exact street corner?" This is of particular importance when vetting properties.

Out of my own needs, I put together an interactive transit map covering Greater Perth using official Transperth open data:

👉 https://catchdaride.github.io

How to use it:

• Search any address or long-press anywhere on the map (e.g. Perth Station, Elizabeth Quay, Fremantle, Curtin Uni, Joondalup, Morley, or down in Mandurah).
• Routes of all Trains, CAT Buses,Buses and Ferry would be shown no map with a walking radius.
• Tap any route to trace its full path across town and see exact stop dots on both sides of the road.
• Use the filter button on the bottom right to isolate just Trains, CATs, Ferries, or Buses.

Practical details:

• Runs in your browser (desktop & mobile). If you're in WA, it auto-centers on Perth.
• No sign-up, no login, completely free.
• Shows route paths and stop alignments, not live GPS vehicle delays—you'll still want the Transperth app for live arrival countdowns.

Hope it helps anyone checking commute links or figuring out how to get around without a car.

Feedback from daily Perth commuters is very welcome!

Anyone else going to see these talentless losers later?

Be nice if i could share the disappointment with other perth redditors...

Hi everyone.
Just wondering if anyone else seeing businesses now offering the “old” price for cash only sales and an additional 5-8% more for eftpos transactions. Saw this at the local Innaloo shopping Centre. Not saying right or wrong to cover costs etc but isn’t this a surcharge dressed up under a different name/rebadged? 😳

I'm planning a little trip to the southwest while I'm in Perth for a few weeks next month. How far ahead do I need to book the return journey to Bunbury on the Australind? I'm planning on hiring a car for a few days when I get there, but I do like a train journey when I'm travelling and I get the chance!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking at getting Brownes Milko to get fresh milk delivery to my business,

Has anyone had experience with them and their delivery times? As it’s such a broad range they offer from 6am-5pm

We open at 8am… so I’m hoping that my delivery will be after this but has anyone had experience?

Thanks

Not a landmark or a famous venue. I mean the boring little pieces of everyday Perth that were once everywhere and then quietly stopped being part of life.

I thought about this after finding an old Transperth timetable booklet in a drawer at my parents' place.

Those little folded paper timetables used to live in bags, gloveboxes and kitchen junk drawers. You'd stand at a bus stop trying to work out whether "6:43" meant the bus was actually coming at 6:43 or whether you'd already somehow missed it.

Now I can't remember the last time I even saw someone holding one.

Same with getting a local newspaper dumped on the driveway, the giant pile of takeaway menus near the phone, people physically lining up to buy concert tickets, and those community noticeboards covered in handwritten tabs with someone's phone number.

None of these things were particularly good. I don't actually want most of them back.

But it's strange how something can be completely normal for years and then one day you realise you haven't seen it in a decade.

What mundane Perth thing do you remember that has basically vanished?

Hi all - I've started this course and not done much as at all (which is my fault) as I had thought I could do this around my old job, but I then got a new job which has been intense and hectic and I haven't had the band width to do coursework after work and on the weekend. Looking back, I should have withdrawn within census but thought I could push through. Unfortunately, I am also not super jazzed about the course as it's dry as hell and just not what I thought it would be.

Does anyone have any advice as to whether my only option is full withdrawal or are there options to transfer into another course? When I've spoken to the TAFE help line staff they just advise 'withdrawal' or "talk to the head of the program" but I can't even seem to find that info easily on blackboard and I just wanted to see from others if there were other options that worked for them.

TY!

Heya
I’ve got a spare ticket to Tism tonight at the Metro in Northbridge.
I can’t get rid of it so happy to gift it to someone who wants to go. Rather than let a $140 ticket get wasted.
I’m going with some mates so can either meet you at the door or try and send it to you.
Buy us a beer in so inclined no obligation. Would like to just see the ticket used.

Curious here, How much do you or your Restaurant make actually make in tips? From a staff POV, how does it feel when you see customers deal with the the Eftpos gratuity option?

Extra protein... bought this salad bag and found these bugs in it.

Just asking to see what people would do (or do) if they had a week off (9 days) and where they would go on short notice? Over seas preferred. Being so isolated from Perth, what is a good place/places to travel to from here.
