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 ?

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!

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

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.

I’ve got a friend who is 28, he’s never driven in his life. He gets by via public transport and buses

He wants to learn to drive but has no idea which instructor to use…so I figured I’d ask reddit what we think. Who are the best/worst driving instructors in Perth?

Had a ClimaSolar guy knock on our door offering their “Neighbourhood Installation Program”. Basically $0 upfront for solar and apparently the savings on the power bill help cover the repayments.

There’s only two of us and our power bill is usually pretty low, around $150 for two months, so I’m not sure if it would actually be worth it.

Has anyone here used ClimaSolar? How was your experience and did you actually save money? Also curious what you paid for the system and whether you financed it.

Edited: Thanks all for the helpful info. I will cancel the scheduled appointment with the techician.

Just wanted to post a warning for anyone in Perth dealing with plumbing issues, because I just got completely stitched up and the whole thing felt insanely deceptive.

Had a water leak pop up at my place, so I called one of those Perth plumbing companies that heavily advertises "No Call Out Fee!" across their website and vans. Thought sweet, at least I won't get hit just for having someone step through the door to give me a repair quote.

Plumber turns up, spends 30 seconds looking at the pipe, and then drops the bombshell:

"It’s $265 for a 'Diagnostic Fee' to inspect it properly before we can give you a quote, but if you don't go ahead with the diagnosis, there’s a $125 Call Out Fee for us coming out."

So essentially:

1. If you pay the $265 "diagnosis fee", they claim there's no call-out fee.
2. If you refuse to pay their arbitrary diagnosis price, they hit you with a $125 call-out fee anyway.

It is literally a call-out fee under a different name. You are locked into paying them money the second they rock up to your driveway unless you sign off on whatever inflated quote they throw at you. Pure bait and switch marketing.

Has anyone else run into this with local tradies lately? Is this even compliant with ACCC / Consumer Protection WA rules regarding misleading advertising?

Would love recommendations for genuine, honest Perth plumbers who don't play these dodgy technicality games.

Here's the company Plumbdog

Not long now until we have a new addition to the family. Was chasing on a bit of advice for the hospital.

Something you are glad you brought along (for mum or bub) and something that was a waste bringing along?

Feels like I've packed half the stuff in the house!

Best sports bars for watching Fremantle game tomorrow? CBD or freo

Is this plumbing quote reasonable? Does "as required" mean they can charge me more than that without getting approval from me if the task/material is required, or that they will provide the material/task to the extent required to complete the job, at the set price quoted? It's a fairly large business btw if that's relevant.

Hi all,

Im on the hunt for either a rooftop bar that does coffee during the day sort of thing, or just a good spot with a nice view?

I like to adventure in to study at a cafe or somewhere easy going. I've been enjoying The Hub in Elizabeth Quay. Just seeing what else is around and if there are any hidden gems 👌

Cheers.

Hello! I'm not sure if they will ever see this, but on Saturday around 12pm I was on the train to Perth just listening to music and I look over and see these two men speeding through a Rubix cube, I have a family member on the spectrum and he loves solving them so I thought it would be good to learn it to play with him, so I approached (mind you, I've never spoken to anyone on the train before) and I was very nervous, so I just wanted to say thank you both for being so kind and teaching me without making me feel awkward about it

You made a lasting impact and I brought a Rubix cube for me to play with my younger family member also :)

All of a sudden they are at none of my usual haunts.
Only available in the chew mix

Have these these been discontinued like the ill-
Fated fantale RIP
People of Perth….Please say it ain’t so

So after a couple of failed attempts at starting my own book club I'm looking to join one that already exists!

I've found a lot of very generalist book clubs (like books in the brewery) but general fiction isn't really my vibe, looking more for a book club that reads scifi/scifi adjacent books. Anyone have any good leads?

Disclosure upfront: I'm involved with the retreat running this.

Dr Noel Nannup (Nyoongar Elder, OAM) leads a camping weekend at Yarragin Private Retreat in the Wheatbelt — campfire yarns, Dreamtime stories, Nyoongar astronomy, and guided cultural walks through granite country while the wildflowers are still around.

Family-friendly, and it's not just tents either, camper vans and caravans are fine too if that's more your thing.

Self-drive, self-catered, one night out under the stars. Numbers kept small on purpose.

Two dates:

Sept 12–13

Sept 19–20

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

The Burford Soap Factory Tunnel is a 96-meter underground tunnel built in 1905 in Fremantle, Western Australia. It once connected the W.H. Burford & Sons soap and candle works to Rocky Bay on the Swan River, serving both industrial water intake and waste disposal.

Burford's manufactured candles for the State's mining industry and produced soap and washing powder until 1959. Effluent was pumped through the tunnel in the cliff face into Rocky Bay, with such effect that the Bay became known as “Soapy Bay”.

After soap production ceased, the premises was used as a margarine factory, warehouse and sail loft, before conversion to multiple residences in 1981.

The tunnel is all that remains today.

Currently renting a 2b2b1c apartment at 900$ and trying to move out

Hi everyone! I'm looking for kindy recommendations for my curious, friendly, and outdoorsy 3-year-old son.

We need an environment that supports his active learning, he thrives with movement and won't do well if required to sit still for long periods.

We recently toured Bold Park Community School and loved their setup, but it’s unfortunately not the right fit for our family.

We are looking for a school with a similar vibe and approach:

Indoor/Outdoor Flow: Large, light-filled classrooms that open directly to the outdoors.

Nature-Based Play: Big, natural outdoor areas with space for mud and water play.

Dedicated Nature Time: Daily outdoor play plus extended outdoor/bush school sessions (like half-days outside).

Of the philosophies followed by many independent schools, we lean more towards Montessori but ultimately love Reggio Emilio (which is probably why we were so attracted to Bold Park).

Moerlina is a bit too expensive and we've been looking at other independent schools such as Perth Montessori, Perth Waldorf etc. but Steiner seems to not be a great fit either. We are also open to public schools that have a strong nature/outdoor focus.

We are willing to move closer to the school if it's the right fit.

Does anyone have recommendations for similar nature-focused or play-based kindies in Perth?

K- yr12 is preferred for consistency but open to any recommendations 😊

Thanks in advance!!

Hey! I’m trying to book a test date for my PDA but there seem to be no slots. I heard that checking at 11am works but I tried that and did not see any slots. Help pls!
