I'm looking to for jarrah, blackbutt or similar logs for a woodworking project, but I'm new to Perth and don't know where I might buy such a think. I only need maybe a meter in total length. Anybody have suggestions?
Greetings perthlings. How are you coping with increased prices? I drive about 500km a week (97k per day, that’s 485km and add more for weekend errands) in my Corolla hatchback (6.6L/100km). Fuel was $1.67/L in January and is $2.32/L now, so call it $2 on average. That's roughly $66 for 33liters of unleaded petrol a week, or about $2,570 (39weeks) so far this year.
Price for Milk, eggs, and bread are all going up.
Anyone found ways to cut costs?
are you able to saving up some cash?
It’s so depressing to see people going on vacations to foreign countries when I barely survive here. I’m so depressed in everything and have lost hope.
Edit: Thank you for all the love and advice I’m grateful for all of you being nice to me today ♥️
Some of the suggestions are legit good and I had no idea in many of them.
I’ll learn more about ETFs at first and gonna continue upskill and apply for high paying jobs.
Remember- if you’re also going through the struggles you’re not alone. I’ve expressed all my frustrations and you may not be able to even express what you’re going through atm or maybe suffering even worse than what I feel. Stay strong when the hard winds blow. All of this will pass through and good times will come
I saw the recent coverage of Ben Cousins’ Ballarat speaking event being cancelled after family violence workers raised concerns about giving him this kind of platform.
So I was pretty surprised to discover that here in WA, the Shire of Ashburton has booked Cousins to appear at its inaugural Excellence Awards across Tom Price, Paraburdoo, Onslow and Pannawonica in November.
These are council-run community awards recognising volunteers, sporting groups, coaches and community contributions, including an Inclusive Communities Champion of the Year.
He’s also being promoted for youth AFL sessions while he’s in the region.
Cousins was convicted of aggravated stalking of his former partner and repeatedly breaching a violence restraining order. At sentencing, the magistrate described what his former partner experienced as “nine months of terror”.
I absolutely believe people can recover from addiction and rebuild their lives. That isn’t the issue.
What I struggle with is how that recovery has become a paid inspirational story, while the harm done to his former partner risks becoming a footnote in that story.
And I particularly don’t understand why a local government would decide that he is an appropriate person to put on stage at community excellence awards, or in front of young people at council-promoted sporting events.
Ballarat’s event prompted family violence workers to publicly question exactly this kind of platform.
So why are we not having the same conversation in WA?
I’d genuinely like to know what others think, particularly anyone from the Pilbara. Has there been any local discussion about these events?
G'day everyone. I'm a mining tradie living up in the Pilbaran minesite, but I love creative photography on the side. I wanted to try something a bit different for an exhibition entry, so I staged a pair of luxury Christian Louboutin out in our elements up here.The goal was to match the sharp, polished lines of the classic red bottoms against heavily weathered, rusted iron heritage mechanisms and the old stone walls over at Cossack.
Stoked to walk away with the "Diamond in the Rough" win last week! Included the judge's critique card at the end because I thought their perspective on the outback juxtaposition was really cool.Let me know what you guys think of the contrast against the red dirt landscape! 🏜️🛠️

I’m a 23-year-old from the U.S. who is seriously considering pursuing a FIFO position in Australia, and I’m trying to understand the process from someone with firsthand experience. From what I understand, I would need an appropriate work visa and approximately 5,000 AUD in available funds to get started. Are there any entry-level positions that provide on-the-job training, or is prior industry-specific experience generally expected?
I have previous experience working with shingles, steel buildings, and similar construction-related work, although I recognize that much of it may not directly translate to the qualifications required for FIFO mining or oil and gas positions. That said, I believe the work ethic, physical conditioning, adaptability, and willingness to learn developed through that experience would still be valuable.
If certifications are required, I’d really appreciate it if you could explain which certifications you obtained, which ones were essential for securing your position, and whether there are any you would recommend obtaining before applying. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
