Hype, I'm glad they release albums shortly after they announce them - feels like so many bands are like "NEW ALBUM out in 6 months" haha.

  1. Coal
  2. The Congregation
  3. Bilateral
  4. Pitfalls
  5. Malina
  6. Aphelion
  7. Tall Poppy Syndrome

The Mountain is probably their best and it's also pretty accessible.

Holocene is a slow burn but it's really been clicking for me after seeing these guys live. This was perhaps the highlight of the whole show.

Pure nostalgia for me. I went on a small road trip for my high school leavers and had some Ayreon CDs playing the whole time. By the end of the trip everyone was singing along. Absolute classic.

Dutton's so much of a spud I'm almost glad he's in charge of the LNP instead of someone more charismatic. Hopefully he never sees any real power. Can't believe that this is even a political issue up for debate, just delay delay delay and never so anything.

About 2cm long! Cute as hell.

The two main reasons stopping me are lack of infrastructure (I haven't ridden a bike in ages and there's no way I'm going on a road with any traffic lol), and climate (Perth is often hot as hell, or rainy, neither of which is great unless you have a shower at work).

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.

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!

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!

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

  3. Aquarius
  4. Vector
  5. Fauna
  6. Visions
  7. Enter the 5th Dimension
  8. Restoration
  9. Virus (still a fan, just not as much as the rest)

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 species but still enough to have people turning heads.

Several 2cm long frogs were found in this tiny little granite pool in the desert. Any IDs would be welcome, I suspect it could be a Litoria of some sort.
