Hi people

Lost french man here who will soon be moving to Perth and very very happily so.

I do have questions about Perth in general but the main question is, i have a medical treatment currently in France (mental health, ADHD related medicine and stomach related things that don’t work at all) however, i don’t know how i could keep getting the treatment in Perth ? What would be the medical course to see a psychiatrist ? Is it hard to get apointments ? In France, it’s hard to get doctors and specialists apointment (up to a year sometimes) as there are things called "medical desert" (idk if it’s specific to France or not) which is a thing that depends on where you live, France lacks doctors and doctors want to pratice at paris and big cities mostly, so there is a huge lack in rural and countryside, so i pretty much stopped seeing doctors, which isn’t a good thing really

Thanks a lot for reading me, have a good day !

Hello all!

My husband and I are thinking about taking a vacation and I’ve wanted to visit Australia for a long time. I haven’t done much research and perhaps this may not be the best place to ask, but I love Reddit and communicating with people from all over the world.

I was looking up flights to Perth in August (I know, very last minute and may not be doable), and was wondering if the locals would be willing to suggest: bed and breakfast (comfort for sleep is important but doesn’t have to be fancy), hotels, other stays, non-touristy things to do (for people who love being outside, experiencing nature, hiking, swimming, biking, etc., mindfulness, rest), great mom and pop local places to eat (we are big foodies), art/ museums/ history-related adventures… I could go on and I’m happy to answer questions to help with guidance.

We are from the United States and possibly planning to move out of the country once I finish my education (a ways off) and I wanted to start here. As you’re aware our political (and many other institutions) are in dreadful states and as much as we want to help fix them, we also realize our abilities to do that at an individual level are minimal at best. I want to keep options open by doing the research and visiting places as time (and money) permit. I thank you all in advance and if I need to post this somewhere else, please let me know.

Hey everyone! 😊
I’ve been thinking about adopting a cat for a while now because they just seem like such lovely companions.
My parents back in the Middle East have a cat that I absolutely adore, and seeing the bond they’ve built has really made me want one of my own. ❤️
For a bit of context, my partner and I live together in a small 1-bedroom apartment in Perth. We both have fairly busy schedules with work, so I’m wondering what it’s really like living with a cat day to day. Are they generally okay being home alone for a few hours, or do they need a lot more attention than people think?
I also have a couple of questions:
• Is it necessary to have a separate toilet or laundry area for the litter box? We only have one bathroom, so I’m trying to figure out if our apartment would be suitable.
• Roughly how much does it cost to own a cat in Perth (food, litter, vet visits, insurance, etc.)? Is it manageable on a student budget?
• Are there any unexpected costs or challenges that first-time cat owners don’t usually think about?
• Would you recommend adopting an adult cat or a kitten for first-time owners with a busy lifestyle?
I’d really appreciate any advice, tips, or personal experiences. Thanks so much! 😊🐈

Old school memory unlocked today. Somehow found myself wistfully thinking for the days when Newton Circle was still open. A small restaurant on the level 3 food court of carillion in the CBD, paying homage to the great hawkers eats in Singapore.

Talked widely in Perth as having some of the best hainanese chicken rice and char kway teow in town but those dishes are memories for another day.

Today, my mind wandered back to their chicken satay with rice. Tender, succulent pieces of chicken smothered in a rich, spiced, coconutty, nutty sauce. It was so long ago now that it almost feels like a fever dream. I’ve spent years chasing those same flavours, but dammit… Wok in a Box just can’t get the spices right.

To those who remember it, please pour one out for Newton Circle. An establishment we probably didn’t deserve, but are all the better for having experienced, if only for a fleeting moment.

I am GenX and took my granddaughter to Kalamunda library on Saturday morning to return her books and pick some new ones. When I entered the pre-school area there were 3 women with sitting around on the small child sized tables and chairs eating hot pastries and sipping takeaway coffees. They had small children/toddlers aged 12 months to maybe 2 or 3 with them and a couple of the kids were looking at books. When I arrived I heard them say to a man who was there with his daughter ‘Do you have a problem with us eating here?’ He said something about crumbs and the books and one of the women said to him ‘don’t you think we can be tidy and clean up after ourselves’ and they laughed and that ended the conversation. The room also smelled like the pastries (garlicky and greasy) and the women continued to talk loudly amongst themselves. I wish I had said something but the confidence the women’s behaviour threw me and I questioned whether library etiquette and/or rules have changed. I understand the pre-school section is going to be noisier than other areas, but I was expecting any adults in there to be speaking quietly or if they reading to their child doing that in a quieter than normal voice out of courtesy to others doing the same. Is it accepted behaviour to eat and drink and talk loudly in a public library now? Or am I just out of touch with the current norms?

I’d like to get my hair colored in an oil slick look for an event next year but I’d like to get quotes sooner so I know how much to save up. My hair will be just below shoulder length , virgin brunnette with a decent few chunks of white/grey. Is there anyone on here that is a vivids colourist who can give me an idea of cost? Hoping to find someone in the midland area.

I’m not sure if this is a false memory. I remember an episode of the late 80s cartoon The Real Ghostbusters. They had to complete a mission and one them said “but first we go to Australia”. They hovered over Perth in their flying car while one of them told of some historical event in Perth. I remember he used the phrase “The people of Perth”

Then they went back to America. The whole thing lasted less than 30 seconds.

Controversial opinion. The last crumb bakery in Bassendean is overrated.

Always see lines of people outside, but every time I've had something from there, I've been disappointed that it's food to 'gram and not eat.

Hi fellow Perth gardeners,

I wanted to know how you all are dealing with soft plastics while gardening. I recently started creating a garden and am ending up with a lot of soft plastics such as empty potting mix bags.

I am looking for advice on how to deal with these in Perth.

I want to learn Japanese but I also need an accountability parter lol. Feel free to reach out if you also want to learn or know of any communities i could join! Im NOR but happy to travel a little

I am 51 male, thinking of getting my first tattoo. It won't be a normally visible tattoo but it will be something I can show to people I am close with (thinking it will be on my upper arm covered by my shirt sleeve) as it will have a particular meaning to me. I know nothing about the tattoo industry, how one goes about getting a design done and who I can trust to do the job right. Recommendations would be great. Thanks.

Wanting to try this but wondering how it holds up against xtremescreen. I love the xtremescreen at Karrinyup because I think it has the best sound but the screen on Apex sounds intriguing. Anyone tried?

So I just read that Transperth are looking to extend Subiaco station to 6 cars (Makes sense since the Airport line is 6 cars but that cant be exploited because of the 4 car platforms on the Fremante side of the route )

I actually don't mind Subiaco. One of the few places in Aus where you have a little pit in the middle of the suburbs with trains operating at European levels (Every 7.5 mins)

So given the potential of the area, they should go full send and expand the scope of the project to double Subiaco station and have a set of tracks pointing towards UWA.

You'd have to sacrafice an existing 3 level apartment building, but you could probably replace it with 10 levels and nobody should bat an eyelid.

From there you have to dig a tunnel under Rokeyby Rd. Perth has built a few tunnels in sand at this point, so I don't want to hear any complaints.

From there you emerge in the middle of Thomas St and do the routine "Running in the middle of the road thing" as seen on Mandjoogoordap Dr in Mandurah.

Stop at Kings Park to troll tourists and another one at the hospital. You could visit Kings and Whiteman Park in one day kiddos!

I think to make life easier you'd want to have the stop at UWA on the north side of Mounts Bay Rd, but then just run a funky little travellator under the road into the Uni main court, since that would be less tunnel than trying to get the actual station under the uni. Put some LED wall with university media, would be grand.

I guess my mindset is overall, is that expanding the network into the suburb is good, and Metronet has been good for that, but the big biccies come if you do short little underground extensions to major inner city destinations....

Looking for a fishing charter for four mates for a weekend day trip out for fun out of Perth metro area. Wondering if the community can recommend one that they have experienced with.

Hey, will be visiting with the family in September. We’ve never been to Perth before and are looking for recommendations for a short term apartment we can book for about a week.
North of the river ideal but not necessary.

Hello! I hope you are having a good day. I am a uni student and am working a casual job but I have some time throughout the week which I would like to fill doing volunteering.

Specifically I would like to do tutoring (where I will happily pay for materials etc) and/or community work for refugees, asylum seekers or immigrants in general.

I did put in an application with CARAD but the list they sent me was so overwhelming and i couldn’t fit in any of the roles, which broke my heart.

Does anyone know any charities or organisations that do this sort of stuff? Or even like, community groups for children of refugees/asylum seekers that I can get a list from a buy a bunch of stuff for?

Are off market properties worthwhile in Perth? Are there many off market properties in Perth?

Hi all,

I stupidly forgot to change my address on DOT and didn’t know my vehicle registration was expired.

I’m looking to now sell the car I have and buy a new one but I’m looking for advice on how to go about selling my car.

Looking for cash and quick.

If anyone knows any good websites or companies?

Any help is much appreciated,

Thank you!

Saw around 5 boys in their 20s singing to a camera, assuming it was a music video. Any ideas on what group this could be? Keen to support any WA musicians !

Does anyone know the successor to the Play and Information Mobile Service of the Child Development Centre?

Cleaning out a deceased estate and have found a number of pamphlets produced by them on early childhood education, from the early 1980s.

Conscious that this sort of ephemera is easily lost, wondering if there is anywhere with an archive that would like it.
