r/perth

You know, in a world gone mad there are days where it feels like WA is being held together by Costco and Tony Galati. Cheap groceries, cheap fuel for your trouble, and you can scrap by for another week. I'd have no clue how I'd be handling right now if I had to shop at woolies, bugger that. I usually not one to put trust a company, but I dare say I'd die fighting for spudshed.

Because at the end of the day, despite how tough things moght get... there's always cheap groceries at Spudshed. (Aldi's pretty good too I guess).

The Perth Gardening thread seems pretty quiet, so I thought I'd try my luck here - does anyone have good tips on what grows well in the Perth climate that’s pest‑resistant, or effective ways to keep pests away?

This could be anything from Fruit & Veg, Pollinators, pretty exotics, helpful natives etc.

Polair up above too. A lot of assets on the move.

Assuming it's not a training exercise, hopefully everyone stays safe out there.

Every single one of my friends in my friend group bought their homes before COVID. I unfortunately did not and have therefore been renting for 6+ years since my mid-20s whilst simultaneously feeling mine and my partners real income shrink because of inflation.

I now face this problem where EVERY single time I hang out with my friends they always ask the same questions,

"Whats happening with your housing situation?"

"Are you gonna buy? You should really buy. Its not going to get any easier."

"Youre spending too much on rent, y'know. How much are you paying now?"

I wish i could paint the deadpan look on their faces when I tell them renting is the better option for us atm.

They then change the topic to how they're all "millionaires" because they bought a house and how "having 100k is not really considered anything anymore."

Anyone else feel like your automatically seen as less than for being a long-term renter in Perth?

I have lived here all my life and I honestly feel like just moving abroad and starting my life in a city where renting is the norm lol, that's how bad the culture feels to me.

Hello everyone,

I need to run a cat 6 cable from where my router is to a different place through the walls and so need to wire up two r45 Jacks, as someone with no networking experience I dont have any of the required equipment which appears to be something called a punch down tool?

Does anyone know where to buy one in the around the Osborne Park/ CBD NoR area? Extra points if i can get everything else i need for this fun job at the same place!

Thanks in advance.

Edit:

Thanks for pointing out I need to have it done by a licensed person, I thought cos its just a data cable its fine to DiY, happy to pay someone to do it properly, does anyone have any recommendations?!

Tl;dr - I'm looking for the closest area from which I can see the stars with limited to no light pollution.

My partner's mother recently passed away. It was her belief that upon her death her soul, or equivalent, would find a new home as a star in the night sky. I want to take my partner somewhere we can look up and see plenty of stars. I live around the Midland area and there's far too much light pollution. One can barely see any stars at night here.

Are there any good places around Perth, or within an hour of Midland, where the light pollution has little to no effect on the night sky? Thank you for any help/advice in advance.

Do you agree spring is in the air today for the first time this year?

Tell me the best Italian restaurant in Perth metro area that serves up a spaghetti bolognaise that would give your nonna a run for her money

Anyone know what's going on? The alarms went off just as I was finishing my shop. I smelt smoke.

Recently had my car looked at - got told it’s not looking good and engine is on its way out. Guy was super vague, basically just said to get rid of it and look for a new car (issues with it starting up every now and then). Didn’t explain much and attitude about it was a bit off. other than that never had an issue with it - car is still running.

Looking for someone to do a diagnostic report and give a second opinion so I can see if it’s actually fixable.

Morley ish area, or if there’s a mobile mechanic who can come.

Any good pub in Perth to watch Prem matches? In particular Manchester United games. Ideally not a generic Irish pub but willing to do the classic JBs/Johnny Foxe's/ Molly's if needs be
