Lodernde Flammen, starker Wind und zerstörte Häuser: In Parkerville, nahe der australischen Westküstenstadt Perth, kämpft die Feuerwehr gegen einen außer Kontrolle geratenen Buschbrand. Die Behörden gaben eine Notfallwarnung heraus.
Usman Khawaja to 'fight' cricket authorities' decision on Gaza message
Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja says he will "fight" the decision to bar him from making an on-field statement in support of Palestinians. The batter had planned to wear shoes bearing the words "all lives are equal" and "freedom is a human right" at a Test match with Pakistan. The International Cricket Council did not allow this as it considered the statements "political", Khawaja said.
From the WA Department of the Premier and Cabinet:
Where can I collect free RATs?
WA's free Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) distribution program has concluded.
Register your positive result
There is no longer a requirement for the Western Australian community to register positive RAT results with the WA Department of Health, in line with other States and Territories. The RAT Register has now closed.
I went and rode the new trackless tram vehicle that the Stirling council (in Perth) has on loan from CRRC, It is massive! So much bigger than it looks in photos. It was a pleasant ride but I still have concerns about the technology which are hard to voice without sounding like your are against new transit developments. Mainly, there have been concerns about the weight of the vehicle and it damaging the bitumen surface it runs on, requiring a reinforced concrete track. #Perth#Tram#lightrail
Is it hot right now in #Perth?
“Today's maximum temperature so far is 35.8°C, and the minimum overnight was 22.2°C. The average of the two is 29 °C , which is hotter than 99% of daily average temperatures at Perth Airport for this time of year over the period 1910–2021. The really hot and cold days (top and bottom 5%, respectively) are outside the dotted lines.” #heatwave#climatediary
A map of Perth, Scotland (one of my favourite places).
Gathered the street & building data from #openstreetmap in #QGIS then exported everything into #inkscape and did all the styling there. All vector apart from the parchment texture.
OK people in #Scotland. I'm looking for a few days holiday in the East of Scotland next summer - either #Perth, #Angus or #Fife areas.
Want a pet-friendly hotel with easy access to #woodland or #parkland to exercise dog. Happy to pay a bit extra for dog - but not the £50 per day some are asking. Want a hotel that also serves evening meal.
And ignore the wowsers who claim, "If you can't see the water, they're underwear" and get those racing bathers / budgie smugglers back onto the #HayStMall.
This is the sort of ethnic wear that led to #TheTriffids.
Hear the absence of meaning, direction and purpose in the following?
Western Australia: "West Aussies should expect to be hit by COVID up to 3 times a year if governments fail to treat the virus seriously, a leading epidemiologist has warned"
Although they're no substitute for Melbourne's trams, I do like Perth's CAT buses.
The CAT (Central Area Transport) buses are free, frequent services that serve the inner city area. The 5 routes are colour coded (red, blue, yellow, green & purple).
