At Parliament House in #Perth Western Australia for a rally of civil society against proposed changes to the Environment Protection Act, making it easier for businesses to destroy our precious land.
Perth is having a really bad summer. Yesterday it was over 40 degrees and around 40,000 people were told to stay indoors and turn their air conditioners off because of a fire emitting sulphur dioxide fumes. In the south of Perth a bushfire came up to people's back fences but fortunately property damage seems to have been prevented. #Perth

Will be going to various museums, Rottnest Island/wadjemup and the Busso pier underwater experience, plus some beaches and breweries. No hiking/really long walks. Open to other tips!
New at my Patreon... I spent two days in the middle of nowhere, rolling across the Nullarbor Plain aboard the Indian Pacific train. Here's what it was like:
Huntingtower Castle, west of Perth, is a beautifully atmospheric time capsule. It was originally two separate tower houses built three metres apart that were joined together in the 1600s to form one. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/perth/huntingtower/index.html
