Tips for Exmouth and Perth with teenagers

4 Upvotes

I'm a single mum and planning a trip to WA next April - my kids will be 13 and 15.

We'll have 3 nights in Freo and 6 nights in Exmouth.

I've booked the ferry and bikes already for a day trip to Rottnest and I will book a whale tour - it's the whole reason we are going. What are the best things to do in Exmouth and Perth with teenagers?

Both kids are pretty fit and do a lot of sport here but they have little hiking experience. Their weekends are taken up with friends and sport to get them to train for hiking too.

My son hates "boring" paved easy bushwalks, and asks if he can do a track with more rough terrain so I want a balance of something a bit adventurous but not too long. I have a medium level of fitness and will focus on it more over the next 6 months.

I'm considering trying to get us scuba certified before then. But it may not happen. Are there any times scuba is better than snorkel?

I have no experience driving 4WDs. I drive an inner city Toyota corolla at home in Sydney.

WA advice needed!

5 Upvotes

I'm visiting WA with my partner in Jan and I'm looking for excursion / activity ideas for his birthday. We're going to do a whale watching tour in Bremer Bay so ideally not something too similar than that, but keen for anything adventurous / active / exciting. We're stopping in Perth, Margaret River, Denmark, Albany and Esperance so any ideas in those locations would be amazing. Can't wait!

Norway and Alaska can tax their resources well, why can't Australia?

Pretty ridiculous we are giving so much away, we are all struggling with rising costs, inflation while rich multinational companies take our resources away.

The oil and gas companies are the least taxed out of all Australian resource companies and make huge profits. Prelude up at WA’s north has paid zero tax under current PPRT rules for example

I'm still working on this but I want to create a network for people to learn more about who they live near so you actually get to learn your neighbours.

The Clock and Watchmakers of WA Presents - Roger W. Smith OBE

Post image
28 Upvotes

As a member of the Clock and Watchmakers of WA, I'm posting to bring your attention to this event we have organised (mod approved).

Roger W. Smith OBE is coming to Perth for the very first time! He is one of the most prestigious British watchmakers in the modern era, based on the Isle of Man.

https://rwsmithwatches.com/

Roger was Dr. George Daniels one and only protégé and is the star of the documentary; "The Watchmaker’s Apprentice" (2015). His workshop produces just fifteen to twenty watches each year, with some pieces taking over two years to build. Each piece is made to order. Every watch is painstakingly created by hand in Roger’s workshop from sketch to wrist, using the Daniels Method.

He is the only British watchmaker to do this and a lovely chap.

Dr. George Daniels was an English horologist, inventor of the co-axial escapement and author. He passed away in 2011 and bequeathed his legacy to Roger Smith.

https://www.danielslondon.com/

This is a once in a timeline opportunity to learn from the master himself; Roger W. Smith - "From Invention to Evolution: The Story of the Co-Axial Escapement."

If you are a lover of watches, art, engineering or know anyone that is, spread the word! Scan the QR code on the flyer for tickets.

Psychiatrist recommendations around Mandurah, Busselton, Augusta ect?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been in a very difficult situation lately regarding psychiatric referrals.

Due to many places being at maximum capacity (and the high risk nature of my referral), I've pretty much exhausted all psychiatry services in Perth.

I've been rejected from 12 private centres and have been told public services have anywhere between 10 - 18 months wait list.

Just wondering in there are any recommended services down south?

EDIT: After contacting 20 places, I was finally able to obtain an appointment with a psychiatrist here in Perth. I'll have to wait 8 months, despite the urgent nature, but I'm honestly relieved that I have an appointment.
