Any interesting events happening in and around Perth this week?

Does your or your mate’s band have a gig on? Is there a major event (fun run, bike ride,  comic con, road works or whatever) that people should know about? Whether it is a special event happening or just an open invitation to meet up for drinks, let us know what is going on.

I catch public transport alot and I've noticed trees painted sky blue, it seems to be mostly golf courses that have this one completely pruned tree with the same paint on it, but I also noticed one outside of a tennis court, is there a specific reason for the blue trees? I can't imagine its one person going around pruning trees and painting them bright blue

EDIT: thanks for the answers everyone! that awareness campaign clearly worked as intended lmao, to be fair I could've looked this up but I genuinely thought it was some kind of niche conservation thing or something along those lines, cool to see a mental health awareness campaign work so well at least against me aha

Just spent a holiday in Europe and it has just been so easy and cheap to get around. Obviously many many cons to it but I believe the time savings, cost savings and convenience by far outweighs the downsides to it. It would make uber pricing more competitive too, and there is a clear shift around Perth of more safer bike corridors being added in. It makes a lot of sense.

Hi Reddit,

I’ve had numerous bad dental experiences and due to that I avoid going to the dentist at all costs. Unfortunately I have a chipped tooth (and probably other problems!) and I was hoping for a recommendation local to me.

Has anyone had experience with non judgmental, gentle dentists in the Scarborough/Innaloo/Doubleview area?

Any help appreciated.

Hey all,

Apologies if this is isn't the correct place to post, but looking for some advice on the possibility of an Autism diagnosis.

Got no idea where to start or who to see.

Thanks in advance

Halp.

Trying to do something special for someone I've kinda fked things up with.

Gonna put my year's savings on the line and go all out.

Stay in swan valley (which is my favoite place in this state)

Wanting to baloon in northam and then run all the way to yanchep to do some ziplines then run back to swan valley for a spa thing before dinner in the valley.

--> Can anyone suggest any spas in the valley area as the go-to's (Swan Valley Retreat & Amaroo) are booked out.

Thanks in advance.

I'm 19 years old and currently working part time as an all rounder at a cafe which is quite demanding but for 21.82/hr is this decent or are there better opportunities? I don't know what to feel about quitting since I've only started for a while and I don't know if this is just a bad coincidence or I'm the problem since my previous job also was really bad.

Hey all,

Where are some spots to purchase some nice compression shirts/gear in Perth in person so I don’t have to order it online? TIA

Hey guys, we have a leaky shower head and we've reported it to the agent like 4 weeks ago and they've completely ignored it. The water bill will be beyond our normal $30 usage this time. Is there a way we can escalate this matter so that they can send in a plumber and fix it? I spoke to a plumber mate of mine and he reckons it's an expensive job , is that why they're ignore it?

pretty much as the title said. Had a bad domestic situation involving police and voilence. I am currently staying on my friends couch but today is the third day and I already feel as though I'm overstepping. I'm just asking if anyone knows somewhere safe to park your car at night to sleep in? Im a young female so im scared of break ins/crime etc.

I've just moved back from another country so have no sick leave or other family members i can call on right now. Ive looked at homeless shelters but it seems like theyre already full to the brim.

Bonus points of anyone has any places I can shower, I am working currently so could afford a day pass if needed.

Thanks in advance y'all - never, ever thought i'd be the person typing this post or going through this. Life really is brutal and does not discriminate.

Hey, 

I've seen The Odyssey once (in IMAX) and apart from recommending ear plugs, really enjoyed it. My wife is now keen to see it again in the 4DX screen at Innaloo. Has anyone been?
Curious as to weather the seats and action add's to the experience, or weather its just a gimmick and feels like sitting in a fairground rollercoaster getting bashed about...

Anyone else have a garage full of stuff they bought for one job and never used again? Curious how common this is in Perth specifically, thinking about ways to make idle equipment more useful locally.

Hi friends! I have a house painting business and needed some insight. If u wanted to get a free on-site quote from a painter would u rather call them, message them, or book a time from their online booking system?

Edit: Lots of people are saying booking online. If u chose the time and I called to confirm is that good, or would you rather I message to confirm?

Hi everyone! Any experience working at Fiona Stanley? Just curious about the culture and vibes or the place from a staff perspective! Thanks!

Lawyer help needed please.

I'll 100% admit I was greatful to get an appointment here so quick as I have a very limited time to submit an appeal.

I'm sure the other lawyers here are great, and I copped the one bad one.

Has anyone else had a bad experience with a particular law service in East Victoria Park, starting with ' S?'

I was talked over when I tried to correct things, I was shutting down and the lawyer was getting annoyed at this, despite being apparently trauma informed and knew about my Neurodivergence.

I was also asked why I never confronted the perpetrator of the a*use, amongst other things.

Does anyone know any good community legal centres out there who can help with compensation rejection appeals, or any good pro-bono lawyers that can help with criminal injuries claims rejections?

Hey all, I recently came into the possession of a mountain bike that someone kindly gave to me. I was wondering if anyone else on here mountain bikes and would be keen to go riding together?

I've done kalamunda a few times with a loan bike and enjoyed it but am a total beginner when it comes to owning my own bike.

I'm looking to buy a few men's formal shirts for work. I don't mind it being second hand or the like and was wondering which stores in Perth has the cheapest men's shirts. Im thinking of visiting a few op shops for the same. Does anybody also know which option shop locations has good collections for mens clothing?

All the WA school students spent their student payment money on Maccas, soft drink and vapes

hey brains trust, please help. I have a nine year old who is really struggling at his local public school. adhd and medicated, high anxiety, possibly ASD but not (yet) diagnosed. average academics. having frequent meltdowns at school and we are really worried about him. hes in therapy.

does anyone have any suggestions for a supportive primary school with good neuro affirming practices? we are inner city Perth way. we don’t really want to change schools but we have tried everything and he is miserable so want to have some alternatives lined up.

I’m looking for advice regarding a serious tyre-fitting incident involving mycar Harrisdale in Western Australia.

On 17 June 2026, I had all four tyres replaced, balanced and a wheel alignment completed at this branch.

Approximately one month later, I discovered that one wheel had four of its five wheel bolts missing. Only the locking wheel bolt remained. I had unknowingly been driving the vehicle normally during that period, including commuting to work and carrying my partner and colleagues.

I returned the vehicle to mycar Harrisdale. The branch installed four replacement wheel bolts, but I was not provided with a new invoice, job sheet, inspection report or written record of the work performed.

During the discussion, Gary told me that because I returned approximately one month later, there was no warranty, and that the branch had already “absorbed” the cost of the replacement bolts.

I found that response extremely concerning. My complaint was not about tyre wear or the 30-day tyre satisfaction guarantee. It concerned four wheel bolts being found missing following a service in which all four wheels had been removed and refitted.

I am now seeking an independent inspection of the affected wheel, bolt seats, hub threads, wheel bearing and wheel/hub run-out. I am also considering lodging a formal complaint with mycar Head Office and WA Consumer Protection.

Has anyone experienced something similar with mycar or another Australian tyre shop? Should the business cover the independent inspection and any resulting repairs?

I will update the post if mycar Head Office provides a formal response.

Just putting this out there. Does anyone happen to know of any places hiring casual lived experience peer support workers in suicidality and suicide bereavement, particularly in the northern suburbs?

I have lived experience in suicide bereavement (I lost my husband to suicide) and subsequently experienced my own battle with suicidal ideations. I am now recovered (from my own mental health struggles) and I am passionate about helping others.

I’m currently studying a Cert IV in Peer Work online and my Masters in Suicidology but I’d really love to start working casually ASAP.

Thank you.

Current wait time at Fiona Stanley ED: 7 hours 45 minutes.

ps. We need a resource tax.

Edit: a lot of assumptions made in the comments here. There are a lot of sick and elderly people in this waiting lounge who deserve a better standard of care than this.
Stay safe all 💜

Should I have said yes ? Aren’t you supposed to give some notice ? Your ringing me now to come over now ? You are not even my usual real state agent . You at a property seller.
