And yet somehow not even last.

I'm heading back to QLD next year. Better have the yacht ready.

You got it mate. We're doing the Cape this coming winter then heading south again - hopefully we can catch up along the way

Even if a house came rent free, very few people would take up the offer. They tried mining towns in ye olde days and it didn't work.

Works just fine for me up here in Onslow, life is good now - I see me kids everyday again.. the second kid actually gives me a hug alongside Mum this time when we say goodbyes at daycare.

Plus, it's nice seeing this place develop and further to that... being able to freely express a friendly demeanour to other people in public without being seen as having two heads. The community focus of the place and how everyone has kids themselves... infinitely prefer this to Perth where everyone is just struggling through life.

How true.A slap in the face for cricket in WA.
If they were playing a test they would have been here in all their glory.
CA are a very strange beast.
I read where the Indians have the WACA ground to prepare on for the opening test.
Why would the Australian selector, or CA, not have organised the use of the WACA for the Aussie team.The Aussies are apparently preparing in Sydney. Maybe that has something to do with the make up of the team!!!
Makes you wonder how CA came up with the idea of playing the first test at Perth Stadium.

Wasn't it changed to make the Perth Stadium test more relevant and make it an event to start the test summer due to lowish crowds.

Taking away 1st test from the Gabba we have lost that advantage though as both Gabba tests we have lost have been in Mid-January not mid-late November where the pitches have more juice in them and it rattles the opposition which has them on the back foot from the start of the summer.

Only ever been there once but I reckon Onslow is one of W.A's best kept secrets. Surprised more people don't visit there. Seemed like a great town, so I'm glad to see it thriving

What better way to promote the "West Test" than to have the Aussie players here for a couple of weeks.And playing against the Pakistanis in the ODI. A great way to kill momentum for the game by having all Aussie players in Sydney.
The Indians will love having the State to themselves for a few weeks.
Crazy move CA.

One of the lucky few. Onslow is ok, but would you say the same thing living in Telfer? It's a ye olde mining town that's long gone.

CA have been piss poor promoting the test summer for a long time.

There too busy flogging the BBL which no one really gives a shit about outside of you guys over in WA with the scorchers.

Don't worry a couple more years of not winning it the level of shits given will revert to the mean.

Was just at the Junction oval.
WA dropped a couple of catches.
Despite living in Melbourne since 2013, I'm still West Aussie but supported Vic today as one of my son's best mates plays 4 them. Was nice catching up with his family.
Anyway, saw 2 footy caps at the ground, but both were wc evils. Yuk

Christ, I'm envious.

Does anyone here go hiking much? I've just recently discovered the trails out in Bedfordale and Byford, and now I often go for a walk through them before work in the mornings. Yesterday I caught up with an old mate and we did a 12km walk just south of Serpentine. It's been so good for my soul.

Love Pearl Jam. I play drums and back in the day loved playing their songs when in a covers band.

If you're a Pearl Jam fan then I think you'll enjoy this.

I was paid to see Pearl Jam, back in the day!
1995, I think.
Usher at the Perth Ent Cent.
But have destroyed too many brain cells over the years, so I could be mistaken.
Have definitely been paid to see Rolling Stones at the old Perry Lakes, as well as RCCP & Post Malone at Marvel.
Great side gig if you can.

Seeing Pearl Jam in 1995 at the entertainment centre was my first ever concert!

I saw the Stones in 1995 with my father. I really wanted to smoke one of the joints that was getting passed around but didn't want to have him lecture me all the way home and then have my mother continue on the lecture.

Was easily one of the best bands I've ever seen.

I LOVE hiking. This is me in Nepal a country every hiker should visit!

Amazing pictures mate. It seems like quite a hilly place.
