I see. Thanks. Is the bottom image meant to be a bear or a mean quokka? Defo a missed opportunity.

Haha I love this. When are they hiring you as their marketing manager? They'd be silly not to

I think he's talking about how the Black Swam is WA's emblem. I had never thought about it before, I suppose I am happy enough with the Wedge-tailed eagle being the mascot, given the rest of the avian avatars (magpies, hawks, swans) in the league.

The new WA NRL team is going to be the bears though and I think it's a huge opportunity lost when they could be the Quokkas! Given the Quokka's global popularity, they'd have a huge merchandise opportunity from the very first - and possibly a global fanbase.

They did?

It does my head in that the West Coast Eagles are eagles and not swans

Sydney stole their animal

Thats cool. Almost makes me want to pack the car and head down for the weekend, but i'm not sure I want to do that drive with the kids..

super surprised there aren't thousands of these companies in constant talks with EV trucking companies over installing chargers and making vehicles that suit their needs because:

The sector's consumption has risen by more than 90 per cent since the 2010-11 financial year to 9.6 billion litres in 2023-24.

That is a shitload of fuel 🫥

Wow, that's pretty early in the piece!

It is really interesting boat.

That explains it better than the photos.

The still photos gave me the impression that it was going to be fast moving lasers. Like the gods themselves were having a rave.

Here is the Video news report. I wanted to know if the lights were static or moving.

March for the forests on the 22nd if anyone else has had enough of these bastards!

Local nurseries can be useful to talk to people. Maybe check out the back catalogues of gardening australia and Better Homes and Gardens to find an answer to a specific question. Or your local library might have a gardening section, if you get lucky there might be a few hyperlocal books for your area in that as well.

Finally, I know that on the first weekend of each season Kalamunda has a garden show in Stirk Park. Its fairly big, the time I went Costa from Gardening Australia was there. Kalamunda Garden Festival. Looks like the next one is on June 7th for Winter. I reckon you could find advice and gardening learning resources there, plus a nice way to spend a weekend. :)

One thing I've run into re online gardening is the northern vs southern hemisphere thing. Eg, US & UK are just coming into spring, while we're just going into autumn.

So, when an article says "Prune in September/October", make sure you check and know where the source is from. It may be completely 180 degrees/6 months wrong.

Ok i have realised I may need more help than maybe just the internet. I am dilled with queations. Does anyone have any reccommemdations for say gardening companies who can help with gardening advice? I wish I had a Nonna to ask but alas I do not.

Town is Margs

I'm not sure either, but I just cut mine back a week ago and they're looking good with lots of new growth already.

Our plums come through about mid October, for a 2 week harvest. SE metro. Plum-o-rama.

I don't know best time to cut, but now(March) would be good, so as to not interfere with the fruiting. Cut the inaccessible high branches down to around 2.5m high, unless you are planning to pick from a ladder.

It was actually just a Quokka turf war on Rottnest. Typical media headlines hyperventilation.

Which battle did they fund?

I met him once. He came into the office I was working at sometime around 1996/1997. He was one of the first celebrities I ever spoke more than two words with. I was surprised that he was just this chill dude, there to pick up something for his daughter. I recognised him of course, but yeah - other than the fact that he happened to be mildly famous, you'd never spot the difference between him and any of the other assorted parents who came by.

He has so many iconic lines. You could make the best soundboard from stuff he came out with.

Man, thats sad, i always liked Cometti.

Parents probably weren't even paying attention.

Knives and axes seems kinda lame. I've got a dozen kitchen knives, a few bush craft knives and two axes. Zero guns though.

Fuck!! Better go top uo my audio fluid, haven't done it in six months!

He lived country so easier to do
