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.

It feels like Freo and most suburbs are stuck between a rock and a hard place. We desperately need more places to live in, and NIMBYs are usually blamed for opposing this. But when you look at the absolute shite that developers are building for people to live in, I find it hard not to empathise with them somewhat. Once heritage is destroyed and replaced by a concrete jungle, that cannot be undone.

I don't hate him but I wish people would watch his videos with a bit more critical thinking. I've talked to a few left-wing people that were swayed into voting Labor (or in one instance, Bob Katter) because he did a video before the last federal election that ridiculed preferential voting. I watched this video and it was filled with straight-up misinformation (I've worked as a vote issuer/counter many times before). In my experience he's not actually made Australia more progressive, I don't know any of his viewers that have switched from LNP to Labor, but a few that have gone from Greens to Labor. I don't know if they still do it but he used to have a brigading group on Facebook, which always spread his videos around and filled them with positive comments on Reddit and the like. I know he's popular outside of that but it's hard to determine exactly how organic his reach is.

I feel like the B series only arrived on the Freo line a few years ago, might have to go out of my way to check these new ones out.

 

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.

Haha, he did mention that he hates musicals funnily enough

 

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.

Wonder where the disagreement has come from. Stadium maybe?

Only one week until Charcoal Grace is released, already looking like an early AOTY to me!

 

Third single from Of The Last Human Being. So glad these guys are back!

 

Their first new music in 17 years!

 
 

Still possibly my favourite album to come out this year, and they're not even a typical prog metal band.
