The things you find out when you have one of those faces that people like to talk to.

Doing work in my old roof space today, and found this great advert from~1972ish in the West Australian.

Weather situation

Northern

Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle is located over waters close to Exmouth, travelling southwards towards the west coast, with potential for a severe impact continuing on the far western Pilbara coast today. A ridge extends into the east Kimberley this weekend.

Southern and Central

A trough lays off the Gascoyne coast whilst a ridge extends over central and southern WA. Today, Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle will curve towards the west coast, with potential for a severe impact extending south to Denham. On Saturday, the system will weaken as it quickly moves south-southeast over the Central West and then further inland and south across the South West Land Division.

Apparently West Australian has a good write up about the proposed event, but its paywalled. So heres some other links relating to the proposed event.

• I think its something to do with this event in 2024 in Victoria. Mornington Peninsula Shire to make decision on planned Harry Potter theme park in nature reserve

• The city's information page on the event. Questions We’re Hearing from the Community re: Jorgensen Park – Proposed Temporary Event

• I think its this event. Harry Potter Forest Experience

I heard on the radio the cloud cover would make it better. I think they were right. Anyone seen it yet? Pretty sure theres at least one Albany lical on Lemmy :)

When do we chop back fruit trees? And when can we do autumn fertilising and planting? What can we do in March to get our gardens thriving?

It predicts a “critical mass” of residents — supported by projects such as Elizabeth Quay, Perth City Link and the new Edith Cowan University city campus — will help sustain retail, entertainment and community life, reducing reliance on one-off events to generate activity.

I hope this doesn't result in a lessening of the City of Perth supporting events like Fringe, Perth Festival, et al. Those drawcards will still function to bring people from outer suburbs and rural WA into their capital and connect with it, which is important in itself.
