  • Oh sorry, only just noticed the “June-July”, when you said summer i thought you meant Perth summer, whoops! Yes, probably not swimming weather I’m afraid.

    For breweries, I’m a fan of Rocky Ridge in Busselton, and Gage Roads in Fremantle is right on the river mouth so worth a visit at sunset. Most breweries are very family friendly!

    Giants Cave and Calgardup cave are the best imo. For nature stuff closer to the city, check out Kings Park, Herdsman Lake, and Bold Park.

    No trams here but the train system is pretty great i reckon.


  • Would recommend staying a week down south around Busselton or Margaret River if possible. It will be less hot, but still hot enough to enjoy the beaches, and there’s so much to see down there: breweries/wineries, forests, caves, and heaps of beautiful coastline.

    Also check out the Perth beaches, Perth hills, spend some time around Fremantle. If you’re staying for a month and you’re near a train line you might want to get a SmartRider. Lmk if u have any other questions!








  • I don’t hate him but I wish people would watch his videos with a bit more critical thinking. I’ve talked to a few left-wing people that were swayed into voting Labor (or in one instance, Bob Katter) because he did a video before the last federal election that ridiculed preferential voting. I watched this video and it was filled with straight-up misinformation (I’ve worked as a vote issuer/counter many times before). In my experience he’s not actually made Australia more progressive, I don’t know any of his viewers that have switched from LNP to Labor, but a few that have gone from Greens to Labor. I don’t know if they still do it but he used to have a brigading group on Facebook, which always spread his videos around and filled them with positive comments on Reddit and the like. I know he’s popular outside of that but it’s hard to determine exactly how organic his reach is.











  • Nobody is saying that fish are moral agents that can empathise with other beings. That doesn’t man that they’re not moral subjects; the ability to understand that one is causing harm is not a prerequisite for the ability to suffer oneself. I think everyone knows this intuitively, but it does feel good to have our less moral habits be justified by memes that we would otherwise find to be illogical.
