Visiting Perth, Mid June to Mid July

Hello lovely Aussies! I am visiting your beautiful land for a month this summer. I apologize and please delete if this post is against the rules, but maybe you can point me in the right direction. I will be staying with family who have been there since last summer, but I’d love to hear tips about how best to enjoy your city...

Would recommend staying a week down south around Busselton or Margaret River if possible. It will be less hot, but still hot enough to enjoy the beaches, and there’s so much to see down there: breweries/wineries, forests, caves, and heaps of beautiful coastline.

Also check out the Perth beaches, Perth hills, spend some time around Fremantle. If you’re staying for a month and you’re near a train line you might want to get a SmartRider. Lmk if u have any other questions!

Oh sorry, only just noticed the “June-July”, when you said summer i thought you meant Perth summer, whoops! Yes, probably not swimming weather I’m afraid.

For breweries, I’m a fan of Rocky Ridge in Busselton, and Gage Roads in Fremantle is right on the river mouth so worth a visit at sunset. Most breweries are very family friendly!

Giants Cave and Calgardup cave are the best imo. For nature stuff closer to the city, check out Kings Park, Herdsman Lake, and Bold Park.

No trams here but the train system is pretty great i reckon.

Shame, i thought Furiosa was awesome, although there were only about 5 people in the cinema. The critics seem to be giving pretty favourable reviews too, would definitely recommend going and checking it out. Hope this isnt the nail in the coffin of Mad Max.

Lovely fellas! I’ve been seeing a few red wing fairy wrens this week I’m WA, bloody tricky to get a pic of them though - well done!

UQ students standing in solidarity with Palestine

UQ has a very strong relationship with US weapons manufacturer Boeing. Students are protesting this relationship, as well as showing general support for Palestinians, by staging a camp-in on campus.

Some photos I took of the camp as I walked past them this morning.

One opening at Curtin Uni (WA) today as well. Curious to see how universities handle it, the demands seem pretty reasonable to me.

Where to now for North?

Smashed by a fairly ordinary Hawthorn side, with some big injuries including Day, Lewis, Jiath, Wingard, and Breust.

The big question: Is the issue North's list? Or has the game gone past Clarko as a coach?

"Meanwhile, North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson concedes his side is still a long way off the pace after forecasting the match would be an indicator of where his rebuilding outfit sits in its development.

"He was left in no doubt and North has now lost 26 of 27 games since success in Clarkson's first two outings at the helm early last year."

It’s their first proper year with Clarko, not gonna judge too much until the end of the year. They’ve really suffered from (A) being a minnow club that doesn’t naturally attract talented players with experience, and (B) terrible luck at the draft until the last two or three years. Their midfield appears decent and Larkey is elite but they’ve been hurt by being denied access to players like JUH and Jed Walter.

It feels like Freo and most suburbs are stuck between a rock and a hard place. We desperately need more places to live in, and NIMBYs are usually blamed for opposing this. But when you look at the absolute shite that developers are building for people to live in, I find it hard not to empathise with them somewhat. Once heritage is destroyed and replaced by a concrete jungle, that cannot be undone.

I feel like the B series only arrived on the Freo line a few years ago, might have to go out of my way to check these new ones out.

I don’t hate him but I wish people would watch his videos with a bit more critical thinking. I’ve talked to a few left-wing people that were swayed into voting Labor (or in one instance, Bob Katter) because he did a video before the last federal election that ridiculed preferential voting. I watched this video and it was filled with straight-up misinformation (I’ve worked as a vote issuer/counter many times before). In my experience he’s not actually made Australia more progressive, I don’t know any of his viewers that have switched from LNP to Labor, but a few that have gone from Greens to Labor. I don’t know if they still do it but he used to have a brigading group on Facebook, which always spread his videos around and filled them with positive comments on Reddit and the like. I know he’s popular outside of that but it’s hard to determine exactly how organic his reach is.

Never been so happy to have a 25+ point loss. McGovern, Yeo, and Hunt were amazing, and this Harley Reid guy goes alright too!

Volatile communication in plants relies on a KAI2-mediated signalling pathway (www.science.org)

Cool paper from my field. In every plant species there’s a hormone receptor sitting there but we don’t know what the hormone is yet! Finding the ligand has become a bit of a holy grail for many researchers. This study finds an endogenous ligand for a divergent homologue of this receptor, not of much consequence to most plant...

Wonder where the disagreement has come from. Stadium maybe?

Surge in WA emissions puts Australia’s net zero targets in doubt (www.theguardian.com)

I don’t imagine theres much room in the WA electorate to vote further to the ‘left’ than Labor. But still, a couple more Greens, or even Teals, could really help push the WA government faster down the path they’re already slow walking down....

We’ve had so long to future-proof our state, to invest in an economy of intellectual-based exports, or even some novel manufacturing… but no, the best we can still muster is digging up rocks and gas. And letting other people profit from it.

I can only hope we see some more disruptive protests at some point, because it’s hard to see Labor doing anything about the climate crisis. You’d think that their overwhelming majority at the state level would’ve shifted the overton window left but this feels like a pretty conservative Labor government.
