I hope to discover electricity so I can make squillions.

Won't you be too busy familiarising yourself with the miracle of sunshine?

Might even introduce the ludicrous idea of Day Light Savings.

Bushfire WATCH AND ACT for the town of Northcliffe in the Shire of Manjimup

A bushfire WATCH AND ACT has been issued for people in an area bounded north of Zamia Road, west of Wheatley Coast Road, South of Yabarl Road and Datchet Road and east of Pemberton Northcliffe Road in Northcliffe in the Shire of Manjimup.

WHAT TO DO:

Is it just me or are people in Perth obsessed with building houses and have to tell you about it at every opportunity? My facebook is littered with half built houses and get updated when another brick gets put down. Seriously who cares. Its a house.

Probably just people in your age group by the sounds of it. Had to go out to Alkimos the other day - should of just gone to Geraldton for afternoon tea with me mum - why would anyone live out there????

I know someone that done this recently. They built out in the middle of no where. Were going on about how good the house was and gave us the guided tour. A couple of weeks later they were whinging that there is nothing out there and made a mistake. Location people.

Alkimos used to be a place you would 4WD through the sandhills to get to to go for a surf.

Same thing North of Geraldton at a place called Lucky Bay - most amazing place and only accessible by 4wd and you had to know how to get there because it wasn't on a map. The fishing was amazing and what did they do - put a sealed road between horrocks and Kalbarri and ruined it

Have been to Lucky Bay - was ****ing windy!! Must admit, I do like the new road through to Kalbarri.

They still are, but for some reason people living there convinced themselves that a one hour plus commute to the city isn't actually that far.

From jurien through to shark bay is always windy - if you haven't hit the beaches by 10 then forget it

1. Go to Mandurah
2. Catch crabs
3. ???
4. Profit

crabfest is actually on this weekend, but some might say every weekend is a crab fest in Mandurah

Could probably achieve steps 2-4 after a night out on the town, no need to travel to mandurah for it. Although I'll admit, you're probably increasing your odds.

We used to go to Burns Beach for a weekend holiday when we were kids.
