The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

Freo has always been a bit dodgy being a tourist type town but it's definitely worse than before. We don't even bother going there anymore unless its to the movies. They need to clean it up a bit

Rehouse them in Rocko or Baldivis.

Rains been pretty consistent - Pity about the humidity that’s accompanying it.

Respect for those who live north in humid conditions

Been working in Fremantle for the last 6 months and I have to say, the homeless are the most violent I've ever experienced. Routinely verbally attacked in the street, with regular threats of physical violence. I'm not a small bloke, and have my hand sin my pockets and head down. Does nothing to deter them.

I used to work at the Perth Children's Court by McGivor and that place was nothing compared to this.

I worked there up until 2016 and it was certainly hairy around Target and where all the buses leave from. The footpath isn't wide so you're having to duck and weave between the battlers.

Went to kardinya after all that talk. Never again!

They should have warning signs as you come off the freeway

Did you see any sinkholes?

Some noise about today over an interim report into the future of container operations in Fremantle Harbour. Do we let the inner harbour north quay build up capacity to the point where it maxes out in 25 years time and then start looking for new facilities further south in the outer harbour, or do we accept that we are going to reach the limits of the inner harbour sooner or later and decide to start moving to outer harbour now?

Pros and cons for each side. The big problem with Fremantle is one of access by container trucks. They need to go through suburban streets, or go by rail, but that railway line goes right through the middle of suburbs too, so if not the traffic problem there is a noise problem. Moving the container facilities to the Kwinana industrial strip might solve road traffic issues but it wont solve railway noise since they will need to use the same railway line to get to Midland and then Northam and the main east-west national line.

The other option is to build a new railway line south of the city, there is already an existing freight railway line between Kwinana and Jarrahdale which skirts around the southern suburbs without going too close to built up areas. Upgrade this line and then extend it from Jarrahdale through the hills to somewhere around Brookton or Beverley, and then connect via York to Northam. But this would be the vastly more expensive option. Benefit to doing it now would be that there is isn't much suburban development in this corridor, there is some, but doing it now before suburbia encroaches and makes it impossible later. Such a rail line might also improve access to Kwinana for grain, or for the shipment of petrol and disel from the refinery to country WA.

Moving the container traffic south would probably mean Fremantle dying in the arse a little bit more as a town in its own right. It would become just another gentrified coastal suburb.

or we could just do nothing.

But seriously, it'd be great if we could move all the cargo shit way down south of Perth and just have Fremantle as a cruise ship desitination. Bring in the tourists. Build up the town.

Speaking of Freo town and shitty drinking dens, has anyone ever heard of this place? Or even better yet, been?

What is the ultimate shit-pub tour?

I'm guessing you could start at Moondyne Joe's, which has drunk Oirish out the front every day at 2pm and the 'outdoor furniture' is upright milk crates, the pub itself has four different colours and the painter is obviously doing it to pay off his tab because he hasn't even cut in to the awnings or doors... then you'd go to Monk, The National (it's a Saturday night), at this point you'd detour – everyone who wants to hook up with Asian divorcees, get on this shuttle, everyone else, this one. The fighters would end up at The Gate in Cockburn, the rooters at the Brass Monkey in Northbridge.

Never heard of 'Ed'z Sportz Bar' but the double Z is enough for me to give it a miss.

Anyway something something Roe 8 something.

Sports bar with skimpies ain't kinda my idea of classy.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Like is it as shit as it looks?

The z?

Some old codger (presumably Ed) with a big red grin on his face like a Cronulla alpha male father in 1987, holding what looks like a ****in pony.

I kinda have a thing for massive shithole pubs.

Bunbury?

I'm going to be in Freo in a couple of weeks,
I'll be up for it only if you start at Edz and make a gold coin donation for the juke-box.
