Looking for a rental property in Perth to accommodate you and your furry friend can be challenging.

As reported in the West Australian, a recent survey conducted by research firm SEC Newgate Research shows one in 10 Australians are considering moving to WA, with most enticed by the great weather and job opportunities.

Foxy Loxy convinces the gullible flock led by Henny Penny that the sky is falling and to follow him into his cave.  It’s a great outcome for the fox, but not so good for the birds. When the foxes (media) start telling you the sky is falling don’t panic.  This is an opportunity to step

Victoria Park Hotel has a new beer garden! Baston and Co. undertook a gastronomic outing in the interests of community research. Alice, our resident Pescatarian, myself (with a set of hollow legs) and Derek, a particularly demanding Glutard, entered the Beer garden, like gunslingers, eyes darting around.

Everyone I talk to is in an unprecedented position.  Never before have they been so short staffed, have costs been so high and have time frames to deliver been so long.In fact most buying conversations centre around the ‘how long’ not the ‘how much’. This is truly an inflationary environment where the value of

Whether it’s Easter bunnies or Easter bilbys or even chickens, our Team are wishing you all a safe and happy Easter break. Please travel safely and remember that double demerits are in place this weekend. Lee, Derek, Isaac, Alice and Rickie xx

What incentive is there?   It appears the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Against this tide of tragedy and woe, our little life raft of positivity in Western Australia is a beacon of hope. The uncertainty in Eastern Europe continues to apply upward price pressure to commodities. Our state’s engine room is driven by the
