Calling all map and train nerds in #Perth (who'd imagine that there'd be a crossover?): this Sunday is the opening of the new railway line Q120871210, and there's going to be an #OpenStreetMap meetup and travelling mapping party:

The rains that were forecast for the #WA long weekend have finally arrived. Perfectly timed for returning #perthdrivers to turn the major roads into traffic jams and demolition derbies. #Perth
#Perth #Australia
Public holiday and it seems that the holiday mansions down at #MargaretRiver aren't vacuuming eveyone one up.
Shopping mall, lynchpin of retail in the #GoldenTriangle, is crowded, coffes, shoppers, gawkers.
Not a mask in sight.
Top of line #AgedCareFacility nearby has no #RatTesting. Other overlooking ocean has testing but allows testers to mingle in a crowded foyer.
Dentist two doors up from another ACF is masking - surgical masks.
Set for a spike.

#Perth at the end of May, 3 weeks from the shortest day of the year, feeling like #Queensland outside.
Warm, wet & humid.

#gardening #Perth #westaustralia Orange tree has a good crop this year. Pity we are going to be away for the time they probably all get perfect. Eaten a few already and very nice.
You can say what you like about #AlboMP.
But overseeing the destruction of the ancient rock art of #WA's NorthWest is a dog act.
#DogAct - Australian criminal cant for an action befitting the lowest of the low. (So low that they'd shop someone.)
See too what #RogerCook's WA government covered up,
"Scientist expresses concern WA government department interferred with rock art report linked to North West Shelf approval process"
Meanwhile, my kid is on Rottnest Island in Western Australia today. So have a picture that she took of a #quokka as a TL cleanse, everyone.
She comes home from semester abroad in 3 weeks

Went for a long walk, spied the coast from atop Trigonometric Park (the highest point in Duncraig), and thought it looked too far away. But then I thought, why not, and walked to Watermans Bay, a beach where I've spent many happy days, in my childhood and with my son. 
PS. It was a VERY LONG walk home!

#Australia - Sabrina Hahn: This Mother’s Day all gardeners can help nurture the environment through #rewilding #Perth
"This Mother’s Day, let’s all embrace the nurturing role by contributing to biodiversity and creating habitat corridors, one garden at a time.
"It’s important to be mindful of the plants we choose for our gardens and the role these species play in cooling our neighbourhoods and providing a food source for wildlife. This is particularly important for the species that are at risk of extinction, like our magnificent Carnaby’s and Baudin cockatoos.
"Widespread concern is resonating across the globe over habitat destruction, climate change, and the alarming decline of species, with an increasing tide of individuals determined to fight to save the natural environment. This movement is swelling like a tsunami, yet it seems as though politicians remain indifferent, deaf to the cries of the public who witness vanishing landscapes required to support native fauna.
"When we view our gardens as part of a larger landscape, we create a habitat corridor by connecting these spaces. We should treat every plant we grow in our gardens as if they were our own children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews. As the most dominant and intelligent species on the planet, we can rewild urban areas, transforming them into diverse habitats for all forms of life.
"A wonderful tool for gardeners wishing to increase the #biodiversity value of their home is #ReWildPerth. The website makes it easy for everyone to create beautiful gardens and outdoor spaces that also support local wildlife by providing food, water and shelter.
"You simply type in your suburb and it will direct you to everything from planting a single tree for shade to building a critter-friendly pond, providing a home for reptiles, growing natives in pots, encouraging pollinators and much more.
"This is one of the most comprehensive guides for people who are not sure where to start, and it even describes the species that are found in your suburb. Go to rewildperth.com.au.
"The significant celebrations on our calendar remind us of the importance of family and friends, as well as the privilege of living in a State characterised by its remarkable diversity. As individuals we must take responsibility for advocating the preservation of our natural environment and force governments to listen.
"It is essential to establish neighbourhood corridors that support the survival of so many species under threat of extinction, particularly in instances where governments fail to acknowledge or protect the rapidly diminishing biodiversity in Western Australia. Collectively, we can make many small changes that give our future children the impetus to nurture nature."

A roofline with real character at one of our favourite Scottish castles, Elcho Castle, close to the River Tay a few miles south-east of Perth. The castle is believed to date back to about 1570 and was built by the Wemyss family. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/perth/elchocastle/index.html
