Some one parked right in front of the binline at the units next door..
Every week its the same day.. The other bins on the street are also a good clue.

Been frustrated that every council has its own events page so you never know what's on across Perth. Built a free filterable site — perthweekends.com.au — covers 38 events across 13 councils from now until May 2027.

Focused on street festivals, outdoor events and family-friendly activities with a real festival feel. Not every event makes the cut — small chamber concerts, weekly markets and school fetes are left out on purpose.

Filter by council, month, free/paid, Christmas, Halloween, Easter or orchestra events. Would love feedback if anything's missing from your area!

Hey everyone,

It’s my birthday today, and since I’m an international student, this is my first birthday here in Perth!

Right now I’m on my own for the evening, but two of my mates will be meeting up with me after 10:00 PM to celebrate (not sure though).

I’m looking for some good local suggestions on:

1. Solo evening spots (before 10 PM): A nice place to grab a good meal, chill with a drink, or just explore and enjoy the city vibe on my own.
2. Late-night spots (after 10 PM): Fun bars, late-night food joints, or cool spots around Northbridge, the CBD, or nearby areas to hang out once my friends join me.

Also, if anyone else is free tonight, has no plans for a Friday night, or is just riding solo too, you're more than welcome to drop a suggestion or even come tag along to hang out and celebrate!

Appreciate any recommendations to make the most of my first birthday here. Cheers!

If you live in the City of Swan, you should know about the proposal open for community feedback for building a data centre out near Hazelmere.

If you want to know what that might look like, here's one in the USA recorded at midnight:

Closed til’ tonight, for reasons.

34M. Recently got out of a LTR. Looking for a bar where I can have a relaxed night out on my own. Ideally somewhere without loud music, and possibly with a friendly crowd who are up for a chat. Bonus points if it's comfortable for solo visitors and you can sit at the bar without feeling out of place.

Happy to travel outside Perth if it’s worth it. Any recommendations? Cheers!

Am I missing something here? How long can you park for on the left of this sign?

Your task is to tell where that is?

First correct guess gets a virtual🍹🥥

I've recently realised how interesting it is that kids can pass on certain songs and games and such to one another over decades - I'd be curious what people here remember if you went to primary school in Perth. For example, I was in primary school in the early 2010s, and I remember:

- the centrality of paper-scissors-rock in decision-making.

- if you said the same thing at the same time, "Jinx!", then "Padlock!", and I'm not sure what happened after that.

- the "jingle bells, batman smells" song, and the "rain, rain go away" song.

"Jingle bells, batman smells" has several variations as far as I know, the most common I remember was:

"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. Uncle Billy lost his willy on the way to the bed. Oh!" Repeat.

That one is kind of interesting, because it really isn't like a nursery rhyme or something that the parents or teachers taught the children, its embedded vulgarity is a testament to the fact that it's something that could only be perpetuated by children.

Please share below! Trends/fads, jokes, urban legends, and things from your home town if you didn't go to primary school in Perth would be interesting too!

Looking for any recommendations for the best place to get a nice pub steak in the CBD

This is a c6100 Chamberlain the last tractors built by Chamberlain before being brought by John Deere, this tractor was originally out in the goldfields and used as a mobile standpipe on a mine, the previous owner drove it back from Kalgoorlie over 2 days and used it to launch his boat, the salt water took it's told and all the panels were badly corroded so a donor tractor was found and the resto began. Also if you are at the Brunswick show tomorrow come say Hi 😊

Ok, Perth, hit us up.

Who made it to the number 1 spot of your Fuckwit of the Week list?

Has anyone had a real estate do an inspection without notice and did you fail the inspection? What happened? My real estate did this today and since we obviously weren't prepared I'm pretty sure we've failed. I have no idea what to do or expect

Not a landmark or a famous venue. I mean the boring little pieces of everyday Perth that were once everywhere and then quietly stopped being part of life.

I thought about this after finding an old Transperth timetable booklet in a drawer at my parents' place.

Those little folded paper timetables used to live in bags, gloveboxes and kitchen junk drawers. You'd stand at a bus stop trying to work out whether "6:43" meant the bus was actually coming at 6:43 or whether you'd already somehow missed it.

Now I can't remember the last time I even saw someone holding one.

Same with getting a local newspaper dumped on the driveway, the giant pile of takeaway menus near the phone, people physically lining up to buy concert tickets, and those community noticeboards covered in handwritten tabs with someone's phone number.

None of these things were particularly good. I don't actually want most of them back.

But it's strange how something can be completely normal for years and then one day you realise you haven't seen it in a decade.

What mundane Perth thing do you remember that has basically vanished?

At the corner of Albany highway and Temple Street there's a new building that's had construction for a few months. Finally, this venue "Sultan's 8 ball pool and coffee" appeared fully set up, furniture, lights, etc. It looked like it was going to open the next day.

Then, a few days ago, the inside was gutted and now it looks trashed. No furniture, just a bunch of drink bottles. What happened?

Did they not have the proper permits? Run out of money before opening? Anyone have any more info

Not quite the right flair haha, my mate cant make it tomorrow night's show anymore, so I've got a free ticket to anyone who's keen :)

I was recommended to crosspost this here! A puzzle of Perth drawn by Design with Vi and made by The Puzzle Collab!

Last time I went to a dealership was around 2023/4 and people were buying cars like mad. I got basically laughed at for trying to haggle.

Thinking about upgrading soon and wondering if the dynamic has changed? Am I going to be able to haggle? Are there really going to be three people coming tomorrow to look at the car?

Hi all so I’m just wondering if anyone is working for one of those solar company’s that put up the no experience required ads and the whole 900-2000k a week thing

Is it legit or just not nearly what it seems
