Australian Dog Party!

This needs to be a real party!

I mean, I don’t imagine immediate sweeping changes to the landscape of the country, but I do imagine if our nation were more dog friendly then many other things would naturally fall into place. Like the economy, for starters.

I’m just dismayed that the Australian Dog Party doesn’t have an adorable (or regal, whichever you like) dog icon in the logo. I mean, that could be New Zealand for all I know! I wonder if New Zealand has a dog party…

What would the Australian Dog Party stand for?

That’s a great question! I’m glad you asked.

The Australian Dog Party will stand for:

More dog facilities e.g. parks, paths, drinking trowels
More laws to protect dogs from unethical breeding and abuse
More jobs for dogs
More dog-friendly media
More dog translation services
Implementation of National Dog Day
Rename party to Australian Dog Paw-ty
Include a longer item so the bullet points ascend in length

It’s the leash we can do for our furry friends!

Anything is paw-sible!

Vote for the Australian Dog Party!

P.S. They really missed the chance to call to it the Australian Dog Paw-ty.

Spring in Perth

Spring time has finally arrived again in the sleepy city on the western coast! Spring in Perth is like no other – it literally transforms into Melbourne. Four seasons in one day – uno, dos, tres, quatro!

The usual foliage starts springing back to life. I wonder if the verb “springing” is to do with springtime or with the act of jumping.

Are you not trypophobed?

Spring brings many unique artists out of hibernation, culminating in displays of opulence such as this.

Spring in Perth is also a time for running and walking and doing outdoor things! Oh wait, that’s spring in most other countries as well.

Well, not quite yet. But she looks to be in a good mood this time round. That’s Summer, your friendly neighbourhood Samoyed, by the way.

The Quiet Side of Perth

Nestled in the southern edge of Western Australia, south of Perth, are some tranquil and verdant attractions that are worth the visit if you can spare the miles (I know we use kilometres, but you have to admit it’s not as poetic).

You get some amazingly picturesque views, as well as all sorts of quirky art and craft dotting the landscape. In some cases, it kind of takes over…

Welcome to Gnomesville – a cute little project started by some local residents that took off and turned into a not-so-little attraction.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to bring their contributions and leave them in this somewhat eldritch forest deep in the alcoves of the shire of Dardanup.
