I read somewhere that some petrol stations were also going to sell them- 7-eleven, I think- there may be others.
True. i work with a guy whos mates with the bloke who owns Jesters here in WA and also owns KK in WA. So he naturally wanted to sell KK's at Jesters. Not sure what other companies he has.

That's not nice, gaskin!! She was probably thinking of you!

(I hope you feel guilty now, for calling her an idiot! :p)

She wasn't. She knows how overrated I find them and how I'd rather get a doughnut from anywhere other than KK.
 
Where is the place to be for the dawn service tomorrow ? I've never been to one up here in Perth. I'm assuming every man and his dog will be at Kings Park, and im south of the river so maybe Canning would be the best option ?
Check out your local RSL on the Internet- or just google ANZAC Dawn Service. Most RSLs have one, so you should find one close to you. We normally go to Palmyra-Bicton on Leach Hwy cnr Foss St- next to McDonald's. Starts at 6am

Where SOR? Fremantle usually gets a big turn out.

Belmont area.

I was thinking of going to one a bit bigger than the one at Belmont, and the canning one sounds alright..

Do all the dawn services start at 5 30 ? Web sites mention "dawn service" but they don't mention what time.

The Dawn service at Cannington was 6am last year- I can't get onto this year's info cos the page won't load.
With all the recent hype and the fact that it's the first centenary, I'd get there early, if I were you.

Here's a list of last year's times and addresses. I don't think the times will change.

Can confirm the ad board at Bull Creek has been switched off.

With all the budget restraints and cuts going on, it would be interesting to see what the tally would be for the bits and pieces that are a waste of tax payers funds - you know the ones: chauffeurs, florists, flights, artwork, billboards, advertising, sponsorship (why does someone like western power need to sponsor stuff - it's government money from a government funded department)

wanna hear the bad news???
This board is the first of 10 to be erected in Perth.
APN Outdoor (Trading) Pty Ltd is paying the Government a minimum of $6.2 million over the life of the 10-year contract for the signs, with an option for four additional signs if the Government is satisfied with the operation.

FFS- nothing like doing things slowly and having a trial, is there? Let's frigging rush in, with a TEN YEAR CONTRACT!! and not just one of them but TEN IDENTICAL STUPID STUFFING BOARDS WITH BRIGHT FLASHING LIGHTS!! :eek:

Isn't there meant to be an alternative electricity company coming online at some stage?? Or did I dream that?
EDIT- there is already Infinite Energy and Alinta Energy providing alternative electricity, so now the Government power company has to compete.

Thanks mate !

That's where I'll be :)

Took me bloody ages to figure out if the city of Canning were having a dawn service or not, but it's being held in cannington.

Apn must make so much bloody money. All they have to do is throw up a sign here and there and companies are paying through the nose to get their adverts up there.
