Bull Creek station, need to get there before 730am to ensure a parking spot.
Murdoch probably need to be there by 7
Aubin Grove has plenty of spots at any time of the day if that’s an option.
By 7AM at the latest.
When I was studying in the city, I would drive to the Murdoch station by 7:30, sit in the car and eat my breakfast, and then grab the train up.
Sensible advice.
Thanks
Any distance (5, 10, 20k+ etc), looking at running some interesting routes.
Bonus points for interesting innercity single track (like the single tracks behind Town of Cambridge Admin Centre).
Thanks everyone :) !
Zamia is so central (Bold Park) and has some nice views along the way.
Trigg bushland also not utilised much.
I go for convenience close to home or work mostly.
So Railway reserve heritage trail in the hills. Whole thing is ~40k, but I do out and back along parts of it, or Stoneville Rd to Mundaring and back on the heritage trail for a -15k loop. A few pubs right along it that are nice too (Parky, Mundaring, Mount Helena)
Other ones I do are less interesting. Bridges, Kings park perimeter both around 10k. Or along the river from the CBD to the stadium and back through east Perth.
Kitty's Gorge in Jarrahdale. Heaps of little goat tracks and nice elevation gain. Perfect time of year for it.
Lots of tracks mean you can plan your own route to the distance desired. About 15km out and back from the top at Jarrahdale cemetery to Serpentine Falls.
Some of my favourites:
The loop around the narrows and causeway
Applecross to Perth along the river (on a good day)
Trail running at bells rapids (there’s a lot of good ones in brigadoon)
If you want to work on incline and sprints the track from Zamia up to the DNA tower is pretty good
Mitchell Freeway, don’t worry if you run at peak times you’ll be running faster than the cars anyway.
Most of the ones I know are already mentioned, but don't forget Manning Park in South Freo. And of course the Mundy parkrun course in Mundy Regional Park will change the way you think about parkruns.
I like the bibra lake run.
Nice 6km to dust off the cob-webs.
Also the bridges from east to south Perth.
Hard 10km if it’s windy.
I second Zamia trail and other paths in Bold Park.
FYI the single tracks behind the city of Cambridge admin building aren't legit tracks, just made by people who don't want to stick to the path, better to avoid if you can so you don't cause more damage to the flora in the area
Highgate to Kings Park (War Memorial & DNA Tower) through the city and back - 10km and beautiful at night
I'm not sure how long it is but there's a good path from east Perth then over the river to Optus and back again.
Get those exhaust fumes DEEP IN YOUR LUNGS
Across the windan bridge and then Matagarup
The blood that pumps through my veins is diesel.
Does anyone know what the regulations are ; does the City of Swan allow people to have a tiny house on a residential block with an existing , established house? (I’m unable to make calls during office hours, so have emailed them… but thought I’d see if anyone here knew anything in the meantime)
Have you considered contacting the City of Swan?
Have a look into a granny flat development. There might be a carve out allowing that sort of build.
https://www.swan.wa.gov.au/awcontent/Web/Documents/Info-Sheets-Checklists/granny-flat-ancillary-dwelling-development-application-questionniare-dsi-7676064.pdf
My info's a bit dated, but they used to be incredibly hostile to everything that wasn't a formal subdivision and proper build on it.
Then the state government granny flat rules came in, so I guess there's at least that now.
I would suggest that you contact the tiny house association. They are actively working with local government to make things better for owners.
The current house is R20
Nahhhh. Why would you do that?
I’m unable to make calls during office hours, so have emailed them… but thought I’d see if anyone here knew anything in the meantime 🤷
Wonderful! Thankyou!

I was just looking at the review ratings for agents on [realestate.com.au](http://realestate.com.au) and EVERY agent I look at has a 5.0 rating.
This has got to be a scam, where the agents are able to delete negative ratings. Surely not EVERY agent is 100% perfect?

Real-estate agents lying?!
Say it ain’t so!
It’s all fake and you can only make a review if you successfully purchase or sell a property. If you’ve interacted with the agent and made an offer that’s not enough.
My friend had a terrible experience with Denise Lewis from Lewis Holloway property in Madora Bay.
Put in an offer of 1.38mil to get beaten by $1000, house sold for 1.381 mil. All offers were supposed to be presented at the same time.
The chances of someone putting down 1,381,000 Lol

This is where you'll find real reviews of real estate agencies
Yes it is a scam because I wrote a factual review about the Ballajura Professionals and it wasn’t even published like many others.
https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/realestate-com-au
Realestate egents brown nosing each other.
Should be restricted to buyers only not sellers.
Never trust anyone with a 100% approval rating. People are insane and you can't please everyone
We had really bad experience and I left an unpleasant review on Google. When I went to that site to leave another negative comments, 'someone' had already filled in the review.
The agency/agent has to approve reviews before they’re published.
Yeah it's all bullshit. RE agents are the scum of the Earth.
I would be most unsurprised if it was a scam.
any alternatives?
They are REA's! Fake and Real Estate Agents go hand in hand.
Of course they're fake. Have you been onto any real estate agency on Maps? They all have glowing 5 star reviews no matter who the agency is. There's one particular agent in Lynwood, not mentioning any names but having dealt with him in real life, I can confirm he is a shitcunt yet the amount of 5 star reviews he gets doesn't seem accurate especially once you filter through all the 1 star reviews that frankly he deserves.
Yes ….. rigged I tried leaving a one star review and it kept getting rejected and they refused to put it up online
looks like chatgpt reviews. More views than properties sold (including where agent has worked as a non-lead role)
ALL online ratings are nonsense. Businesses curate reviews and get fakes. Butthurt kids review bomb movies. People tend to give extreme ratings (0 or 5 stars).
Ratings are fake news now. They've jumped the shark. The best ratings show you who best manipulates the algorithms/who cheats the most.
Hahah surprised Pikachu face was my response reading that too haha
We had an experience like this. Used our offer to get $2000 more out of someone and accepted theirs. Didn't give us any other chance
LOOK WHAT I FOUNF IN THE ASHTRAY OF MY CAR.
Agreed it’s a bit biased because only successful sellers/purchasers can comment. Obviously they’d be happier on average than the losers.
But the situation with your friend might be legit. Going for an odd number is common advice, so that you win in that situation. (Or at least tie if the other person also knew that trick and jumped by $1k.)
You could check the sale price to see exactly what it sold for. If it was dodgy (in the sense that the other person knew your friend’s bid) there’d be absolutely no reason for them to go $1,381,000 when $1,380,001 would’ve also worked.
The key point here is the real estate agent is never actually working for the buyer or the seller. They are always working for themselves.
Thank you!
Solid advice. I always tell the ladies to tone down their ratings of me so it stays just under 100%.
Never seen a sold price like that with a $1 on the end.
$1000 on 1.38mil is 0.072% more.
Maybe it was luck. Maybe the real estate agent just really liked one buyer. We'll never know.
Johnny bell-end.
He will be popular in prison.
>The court heard the author of a pre-sentence report determined a community-based disposition for Bell could not be supported due to several factors.
\[...\]
>"You were assessed as having high needs in areas of sexual offending, substance abuse and pro-criminal attitudes," Judge Stewart told Bell."I have decided the seriousness of your offending, the need to protect vulnerable children, and the need to impose a sentence capable of acting as a general and personal deterrent is such that only imprisonment can be justified," she said.
Does the judge ordinarily have to justify sentencing him (/any defendant) to a prison term, or did the defence actually apply for him to be held in the community somehow (like he had been since Feb)?
This is absolutely disgusting and infuriating. We need to be extra vigilant and make sure we’re looking out for each other to keep these predators away from our kids and communities
This makes me sick. Only 3 years? Hope he gets some justice from his inmates in there. Where is the photo of him? People need to see and be wary of him, he needs to be shamed.
A West Australian man has been jailed for three years after trying to lure five girls, some as young as seven, into a Broome restaurant toilet.
Johnny Bell, 43, appeared before the Perth District Court on Tuesday where he was sentenced to three years and four months jail by Judge Vicki Stewart.
The term was backdated to July 2023.
In February, a [District Court jury found Bell guilty](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-05/johnny-bell-child-sex-offences-granted-bail-broome-mcdonalds/103429356) of five counts of encouraging a child under the age of 13 to engage in sexual behaviour.
Throughout the six-day trial, the court heard from various witnesses including staff from Broome McDonald's, where the incident occurred.
After Bell was found guilty on all five counts, defence lawyer Sally Oliver requested a neuro-psychological report before he was sentenced.
