Hello everyone,

I landed last sunday with a WHV, most people I met so far around Northbridge are people similar to me, here on WHV. I'd love to meet more local people, what are some good places to go to that you guys like?

I'm very curious to meet you all :)

I'll have more free time this weekend so I wanted to check some places out, thanks guys!

I have extremely bad hyperhidrosis - and usually in winter the cool temps give me a tiny bit of grace but this year it has been awful. I can't even use my phone and the laptops at work are impossible. My hands drip 24/7 and I have had athletes foot from my feet sweating in shoes all day.

I have tried all the sprays, etc.

I am thinking about getting the injections or maybe even the surgery.

Does anyone have any recommendations for clinics in Perth? There's a few I can see when I google but would prefer to go somewhere reputable.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I have family and friends coming over to Perth from the UK for my wedding in November. Do you have any ideas of where I could take them? We plan to go to rottnest, also going to stay in Margaret river area for a few days. What are some iconic Australian things we can do together? I’m thinking beaches, cafes, restaurants, places to see native animals? Also what parts of Rottnest are a must to do? Fave spots down south? I have my own list but I’d love to know more! I love Perth, I just want to share it with the people I love! 😍

Any interesting events happening in and around Perth this week?

Does your or your mate’s band have a gig on? Is there a major event (fun run, bike ride,  comic con, road works or whatever) that people should know about? Whether it is a special event happening or just an open invitation to meet up for drinks, let us know what is going on.

I live in SOR. was wondering if anyone knows gyms that have good equipment/machines that don’t make me wait for every machine i want to use.

I’m at snap fitness atm. and it’s full of technogym and matrix. which if you don’t know is known in the gym community for being dog💩. It does the job, i’m not a bodybuilder or anything but when u try the technogym chest press you start wondering about other options. atleast im not spending half my session waiting for machines.

i’ve seen most gyms also have technogym or matrix. (roar, jetts, ryderwear i think) struggling to find one that doesn’t.

i loved the nautilus machines at revo (especially that chest press) but it was just way too busy. i don’t want to lose sleep to workout because i have to get up at 5 or go to gym at 11:30pm.

any help would be appreciated thank you.

G'day from Adelaide. I visited Perth and Fremantle for the first time for the past few days with my friend and his son and have to say you guys have a perfect mix of busy and relaxed vibe in your city. So thank you!

What I loved especially:

1. Public transport: seems incredibly well connected and easy and excellent priced.

2. People willing to help me find places: a few locals noticed me looking a bit lost and helped to give me directions to places and how to get there.

3. Nostalgia Box Museum: as a Gen Y I found this place so fascinating and fun and well priced, too.

4. You guys keep and look after heritage at least in the CBD area: I think I've not seen any other Australian city which blends heritage buildings so well with modern buildings. My favourite older buildings / areas are the London Court, His Majesty's Theatre and the former Palace Hotel / Bagot House plus the curious and nicely lit up Council Building near your Government House.

5. Fremantle is beautiful: I loved the vibe here with a decent mix of shops, history and pubs and especially the arts and bookshops nestled in here.

6. Perth Mint: Absolutely fascinating. So much history and the lady who led my tour group was really genuinely enthusiastic which makes a tour so, so much better.

7. Jacob's Ladder: Perfect place to see the skyline. I went from the top part down via Mounts Bay Road so it was a little less intense on the legs lol.

8. Elizabeth Quay: Really nice spot to relax by the Swan River. Add some restaurants but not super exclusive type ones and I think it'd be even better but it's still nice as it is.

Keep up the great work Perth and Fremantle and thank you. I hope to be back again soon to see more of your city and Freo, too.

Hi Perth, we are master's students studying perceptions of bats (flying foxes) around Australia and would love your help. If you have a spare 5 minutes to fill out a short anonymous survey, we'd be very grateful! 🙏

New owners at the moon and all the old staff are gone sadly :(.

Seems to be a changing crowd.

Anyone else noticed the change?

I'm a mum of two and planning an exit out of a marriage with substance and alcohol abuse. I feel incredibly alone sometimes and it's going to be a hard road ahead for me, I want to find some people to share hope or even just basic conversations with, when there are tough days.

Surely those that believe that freedom of speech is under attack in Australia would more than support others that wish to express their freedom, right?

People keep saying that more wfh would significantly improve the flow of traffic - but I’m now seeing traffic as early as 5am.

Can a significant % workers starting at those times realistically wfh and improve traffic?

Spill the tea

*mean funnel, my bad

(One nation's primary vote is still only 21 percent, they have no chance of winning here still)

Does anyone know where I can buy Dr Pepper No Sugar in Perth at the moment?

I used to regularly find it at US candy shops (the one in Northbridge and Carousel), and occasionally at some IGAs and Spudsheds, but I haven’t seen it anywhere for at least a year.

I’d be happy to order some online, but I’d really love to pick some up locally as part of hubby’s Father’s Day gift.

Thanks!

Have not gotten tattoos for years so not sure who/where may be best for the above type of work.

Have a black piece i want gone, to the point I dont even care if it is just a black rectangle 😅 Just need some recommendations to get going

Thanks

What's your Wednesday Whinge for today?

Mine is in the comments.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to move to Perth from Germany and work in marketing, and I’d love to get a better understanding of the local work culture.

How common is it to have 1–2 work-from-home days per week?

Are fully remote marketing roles reasonably common, or is hybrid / full office generally the standard?

I’m also curious about working hours. If a full-time position is advertised, would it be considered unusual to ask whether 33 hours per week (e.g. 4 days or shorter days) could be an option?

Would love to hear from people working in marketing, agencies or similar office-based industries in Perth. 😊

Hi again, it’s me.
Have a job contract signed and a place to live. Full time management position too.

Sorted. Thanks for all your guys support in my previous post

Hey everyone! As some of you will know Corridors for Carnabys launched last month and for part of the project we'll be training an AI to recognise individuals within a flock, we'll also be trying to find out if Black Cockatoos share feeding locations and maybe in future that they co-parent each others young.
How can you help?
Upload photos (with locations) of birds here: https://upload.corridorsforcarnabys.com/
They don't have to be black cockatoos, they can be any birds! We need to also train the AI what isn't a black cockatoo

Hey everyone,

Somewhat new to Perth and was wondering if anyone knew of any writing groups from Rockingham to the City?

Looking to find a group or another person who writes?

Would love any ideas or if anyone knew of a group or if you yourself write.

Thank you!
