Hi everyone!

I'm from Germany and looking for a furnished room in Perth, ideally moving in around the early start of November. I'm not in Australia yet, so I'm currently trying to already get a survey about where i could rent so that i can spend the least time possible in living in a hostel.

What I'm looking for:

• Budget: around $200–250 AUD per week, preferably including bills
• A furnished room in a shared house or apartment
• Within reasonable reach of the CBD, ideally with good public transport connections
• Sharing a bathroom is absolutely fine
• Ideally a longer-term stay of at least 12 months

I'm fairly flexible, so if you have a room available that roughly fits these preferences, feel free to reach out even if some details differ or the rent is slightly above my budget.

If you have something available, please send me a DM with the location, weekly rent, what's included, a few photos and any other relevant details.

Recommendations for available rooms or suitable areas are also very welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Hey so as title says, I'm looking for recommendations of a GP, I'd prefer NOR but can go further if it's worth it, I gotta travel from a regional town anyway.

I have a really complex medical history, but I haven't seen a GP in ages, due to relocating and being bedbound with said medical history.

I am trying to get all my info together to try get to see someone to figure out what is going on and why I'm declining so badly but I need a dr who understands chronic illness and complex multi-system conditions, I know I will need to see specialists and things but I need a GP who understands what my symptoms are pointing to, to be able to organise the right tests and make the right referrals.

For physiological and financial reasons I can't afford to go back and forth too frequently so I need to know the person I'm seeing understands my health properly and the appointments and testing I pursue aren't needless, and that I don't have to spend multiple months of back and forth not getting very far.

Any recommendations of GPs you have seen who have been patient and understanding and empathetic, not just put you in the too hard basket or throw meds at you on a hunch, would be greatly appreciated, I'd very much like to start getting better 🥲

hello! wondering if anyone may know where someone could get some keys copied/cut that are cute!! i don’t want a boring key i want one that i can tell apart from the rest easily (like the old 2000’s ones with the designs on them, even if it’s something stupid) xoxo

You may have left one of the thousands of comments these self-posts generate in engagement. I guess let people enjoy things and all that and if people are enjoying themselves in the comments it shouldn't matter. Before I was sure of it, I finally saw somone call it out but people sided with the OPs. So I took a closer look at all these "what's your Perth habit / I have an anecdote about perth / what would you do in this situation / I moved here X years ago and yaknowhat makes Perth so much better." These posts are honestly impressively good, I found a few tells in their writing, but then I scoped their other activity and I realised:

• All accounts around 2 weeks old
• They all coincidentally enjoy writing in German every now and then
• Most of them never engage their own post
• Most of them comment in random subs, write a sentence with exactly one word spelled wrong
• The comments will have this weird formula of agree, restate, exaggerate
• The usual inconsistencies - Perth but Miami parking issues, 4 kids then 3, went to Chipotle etc

I guess this is just normal now but it kind of irks me. At least one of you has spent real time writing really good advice for someone moving to Geraldton with their young family who just got back from the beach as well as advising a male in their 20s how to handle a lost child in Coles. Then you have this bot giving people their thoughts on joining WA police. Don't do it, I've got PTSD, the sh\t I've seen.* You've seen nothin you bot. I'm not gonna have some bot ridicule my little wheatbelt town and tell people to avoid. Come visit physically us and form that conclusion properly you coward.

It just kind of irks me and this feels beyond karma farming. The intel they're getting under the pretense of nostalgia and sucking up to Perth is hyper specific, down to Literally asking the layouts Their local knowledge shows from their writing style. They literally talk just like us. They know a lot more about Mt Lawley's inner city layout and density after all the free corrections. One post to ausfinance got eaten up and it kinda hit me maybe the end user / game here is politics? Can we not mess with them a bit?

Hey people :) will there be a watch party or a cinema that streams the worlds finals ?

I'm looking to get a design like this tattooed on my upper arm.

What artists in Perth should I be speaking to for a design like this?

Thanks everyone

Looking to donate a bunch of clothes but looking for decent op shops in Perth (specifically Rockingham/Cockburn area). I want to donate to somewhere that a) accepts donations and b) charge actual op shop prices for their things. And/or give the clothes away for free to those who need (that's the ideal). Or even if any youth centres/homeless shelters/orgs are accepting 2nd hand clothes.

Salvos are a definite no-no for me personally. And I'm leaning away from Good Sammy's and Vinnie's but can be persuaded.

(Hopefully I have the correct flair and yes I'm a new account with low karma but I genuinely just want the communities opinions on this and my friends aren't sure so I turned to Reddit)

Noticed an older gentleman taking photos of our shed over our fence.

Went and asked him what he was doing and he said he used to live here 20 or 30 years ago and needed to take photos of the asbestos clad shed for insurance.

Apparently someone "cut their arm and got sick from the poison in the cladding" and he needed photos of it for insurance. The cladding is the old Hardie plank style stuff.

The guy was nice enough and definitely used to live here going off the info he had about the house, but it just seemed so odd and he wasn't giving much away.

Who would be making a claim, and why would cutting yourself on asbestos make you sick? Any ideas?

Located around the Scarborough area

I was driving by Toyota on Stirling highway about 10.40 this morning and saw a duck had been hit on the road and about 9 tiny ducklings were on the road. People were out of their cars trying to help. Does anyone know if they were saved?

Hi! I’m an IMG from the Philippines who hasn’t undergo post graduate internship. I moved here after my MD graduation and I’m currently on partner’s visa. I want to pursue my medical career here but I’m anxious about not getting a job placement or an internship. Has anyone been in this situation before and still able to become and practice medicine here? I really need help and guidance, I don’t know anyone in the medical industry here in Perth. Thanks!

I saw a guy being taken away on a stretcher on the Wellington St side today at 6.30 pm. The fella looked suspiciously still. Does anyone know what happened? They would have covered him if he’d passed, right?

Hi,

I moved into my new rental and have been busy with the moving and everything. I finally got around to completing the property inspection report 4 days into being moved in, which is due the 7th day into moving in.

As I was completing the report and got to the water retic section and checked our water retic I noticed we had a leak and the top cap cover was snapped off, however in the report which was done 3 days prior to us getting the keys/moving in, it wasn’t leaking and the cap was on.

I’m unsure how and when it was broken/started leaking and I reported it straight away to my property manager and it got fixed the next morning.

I then got emailed an invoice for me to pay $425 for the repair even though i’m unsure how or when it was even broken and if i’m even the one responsible for this?

Iv read some things saying that I should not have to pay this since i’m in the 7 day period of moving in and filling out the report, and don’t know how or when it happened. I’m not sure what’s true and what’s not, do I have to pay this ??

Hello guys, does anyone have an adults among us costume they are willing to sell, just broke mine and in dire need

Thanks

Looking for some suggestions for a wedding venue in peel and surrounding areas.

Love the idea of a farm stay/country style venue with reception area attached. Loved the walk around of Mardella Meadows just wanting to see some other venues with a similar style.

-Approx 80 people

-Late spring/summer wedding

-Options of catering by venue or outside catering

-Prefer somewhere that has tables and chairs already so don't have to hire externally.

-On site accommodation for 1-2 nights for up to 8 people

-Also needs to be young kid friendly and

-Wheel chair accessible

Obviously budget friendly would be fantastic

Cheers,

A soon to be husband more scared of the cost than the day

Hi everyone!

I'm currently looking for work from home opportunities, preferably in administration, data entry, customer service or similar roles. I have over 8 years of experience in retail and customer service, along with minimal experience (and hoping to gain more) in administration and inventory control.

I'm reliable, organised, have great attention to detail and am always willing to learn new skills.

If anyone knows of any companies hiring or has any recommendations, please feel free to comment or send me a message.

Thank you so much.

Note: I'm based in Perth WA if that helps down narrow the opportunities but I'm aware it's a competitive market especially with people who are more qualified than me out there so if anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be amazing. 🥺

Took the family down the Lake Kepwari last weekend to blow off some steam.

The kids found a 256GB Sandisk Extreme MicroSD card which is loaded with drone and GoPro footage.

I haven’t had the time go in-depth yet but was able to spot a few number plates in the campsite footage

I believe the owners to have been visiting the lake sometime late September, and general WA touring prior.

If this could be you, or someone you know, please reach out to provide verification and we will reunite you with your footage.

Most importantly, enjoy the rest of your week, you bloody mad dogs 🐕 🤙

I was on the train, I don’t have motion sickness never threw up without knowing I was going to throw up. Felt a bit dizzy but not like I was going to vomit any moment. All of a sudden I throw up in my bag luckily I didn’t dirty the seat. I get out onto the station feeling a bit okay in terms of the vomiting situation. Anxiety kicking in no bathroom at the train station so I couldn’t get more tissues then I already had in my purse. I tried cleaning myself up I was more worried about the mess I had made. I was meant to go to a meeting I thought it’d be better to go home. I felt a bit better I think I was sat at the train station for a good 30 minutes. Went on the next train, barely went to the next stop and I wanted to throw up again. I threw up on my way out. Completely terrified of the situation. I felt bad. Cupping my vomit in my mouth as I’m trying to find a bin atleast which are both a mile away!! And lucky me again no toilets at this station either . I had another three stops till I could get home. So I sat this one through.

Got electrolytes and water from the gas station nearby, sat at that station for two hours. I just felt sleepy at this point, my phone was dead, I was a mess, my clothes somewhat covered in vomit, I tried my best to clean it off with water, I couldnt catch an uber in this state. I prayed I don’t throw up again, went on the train station by station. And finally got home. Extremely embarrassed, I apologise for whoever had to witness this, I feel very bad. I am introverted and have social anxiety, so this was a terrible nightmare and I’m traumatised. I will feel guilty forever and I will not be catching the train ever again. I’m sorry. Worst day of my life, I wanna disappear.

Does anyone know how I could’ve handled this situation any other way 🥹 I might just overthink about this for a while.

Update: it’s been a solid three hours I’ve been home still have a headache, finished the meeting, by the end of it I felt like throwing up. But it ended thankfully. Everytime I drink water/liquids I wanna throw up but, drank 200ml of electrolyte water threw that up as well. If sleep don’t fix this, I’ll visit a doctor tomorrow. I’m taking tomorrow off 🤕. Thanks everyone for your comments it really helped me feel better, knowing all of you went through the same shi and hope no one goes through stuff like this and if you do I hope yall get over it (praying I’ll stop thinking about it soon 😭)

Hi. Just moved to the city area and started getting back into fitness. It gets a bit sad running by myself hence considering doing Parkrun on Saturdays. Used to love Parkrun back in Brissy a few years ago. Im in the CBD close to Northbridge, which Parkrun do you recommend? Ta :).

WA has some very strict laws around Criminal Confiscation which the above video touches on. The second link is to a parliamentary petition to reform the associated laws. Some unfortunate West Australians have lost their home due to the simple act of growing a couple of cannabis plants. See below article for an example.

https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/easy-prey-how-state-of-wa-took-a-man-s-house-over-five-cannabis-plants-20220223-p59z5i.html

The petition is as follows:

To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned ...

draw to your attention the fact that the Review of the Criminal and Civil Justice System in relation to Criminal Property Confiscation and Unexplained Wealth Legislation, conducted by former Chief Justice Wayne Martin AC KC, was tabled in Parliament in 2019, yet its central recommendations remain substantially unenacted more than seven years later.

This is of grave concern, given that the Martin Report identified serious failings in regard to the operation of Western Australia’s criminal confiscation regime, including disproportionate outcomes, unjust impacts upon family members and third parties, inadequate judicial discretion, reversal of the onus of proof, and the confiscation of property unrelated to proven criminal offending.

The report further recommended substantial reform, including repeal and replacement of major parts of the current legislative framework.

Your petitioners therefore respectfully request that the Legislative Council does everything within its power to ensure that the Government:

1. Urgently acts upon the principal recommendations of the Martin Report;

2. Prepares and introduces replacement criminal confiscation legislation as soon as practicable; and,

3. Ensures that any new legislation restores proportionality, judicial fairness, and appropriate safeguards for innocent parties.

And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray.

Please consider signing the petition and hopefully we can see the legislation reworked to target the big players and not those that are growing a couple of weed plants.

New to the area! I'll be attending an event in Perth CBD tomorrow evening, and I'd like to go for dinner beforehand. I'll be on my own, and I'd prefer somewhere where I can have a cocktail with dinner but this is not essential if the place is otherwise worth it.

Where do you recommend?
