Food, Drink & Dining Out The Perth Thread - Part 2

[JackOutback]

People have to realise se that all the really cool places have already been covered extensively by these publications. They are struggling to find new places of interest. It's why Canberra was listed in the top cities to visit for next year. ******* Canberra.

 

[Scotland]

I think it's like the Cool Wall on Top Gear.

Once whoever is on 6PR thinks something is cool it stops being cool.

 

[perthblue]

6PR were just reporting on a list made by Lonely Planet, who by now have surely covered every single place and event on the globe. how long before they start with articles like "top 10 safest neighborhoods to score smack in Ecuador"

I couldn't see myself ever returning to Canberra by choice.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

I feel bad for any tourists that are thinking Lonely Planet knows it's stuff and are going to Maylands for some culture before heading to Canberra.

What do tourists do in Perth?

What do tourists do in Perth?

Kings Park, Freo, Rottnest, the Bell Tower - that's the places they went to when The Amazing Race had an episode in Perth.

Some cabbie ripped one of the teams off taking them from Kings Park to Freo, he must have taken them via Hillarys with how much he charged them.

What do people think of Drones being used at Perth beaches by lifeguards?

Drones to take to air over metropolitan beaches

https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/sh...o-air-over-metropolitan-beaches-ng-b88662879z

Overall I think it is a good idea if done properly.

A few problems they might have:

• Windy days
• Limited battery life
• Birds
• Potential costs of them being crashed
• Noisy when close by

Good aspects:

• Cheaper than a helicopter
• Multiple locations
• Can stay in one spot to watch
• Less noticeable
• Recording of incidents

The article says up to 400m transmission range which is paltry really for a big beach, it looks like they are using Phantom 4s which have a transmission range over 4000m. (Maybe a typo?or not a Phantom4)

Chance of beach cricket playing teenagers positioning a fielder or two in the water and aiming the sky ball sixes at the drone?

Very high.

They better put some quality protection on those things because it's going to have more close calls than a blind man crossing the street.

 

[Perth gal]

Yep,no storm.

 

[Power Raid]

It's the way of the future but parachute systems are a must for safety

How about drone loses power unexpectedly or whatever and crashes into person who then sues?

 

[bkozican]

Should be like state cricket back in the day...Hit the drone, Win 50 grand

 

[Scotland]

Look out Craig's mom's bush.

Good. * off you NIMBY twat. The Raffles has been there 100+ years and used to be a lot wilder than it is now. If you don't want pub noise don't live next door to a pub.

 

[gaskin]

Haha what a tosser.

Well to be fair if they are actually exceeding noise limits then he's got a right to complain about it. Certainly doesn't mean they should have to shut it down though.
