Welcome to Catalogue #271 from a sweltering Perth. What a summer its been here and we’ve just entered our hottest month, go figure! Our sympathies go out to the Eastern seaboard especially NQ which has been hit with serious floods. I’m surprised that the Defence Force hasn’t been mobilized in its entirety. Even if they go in with truck loads...

Welcome to Catalogue 269 November 2023. Spring is really upon us with the city trees burgeoning. William Street down through China Town is a joy to behold except at night when the trees obscure the street lights. My weekend was taken up with sports with the Rugby World Cup (won by South Africa over NZ), the Rugby League Pacific championships won b...

Welcome to our Spring catalogue September 2023. The much-welcome rain has again settled in here in Perth although not heavy, it is continuous. Skies will clear up from here on into a beautiful, sunny spring.   I watch a fair bit of TV these days as I’m not as mobile as I once was. I’m appalled at the deluge of gambling ads that seem to prevai...

  Welcome to Catalogue 266, in the winter of 2023. We’ve had a cold and wet one this winter with sunny and bright days ahead. We’ve had none of the dramas of the east coast, no floods of fires but all the rain we’ve had here would regenerate our forests and grasslands, setting us up for a big fire summer.     We sit in thrall watching our...

At last the rain has come here in the parched West. This is the June catalogue, #264, another list of good books. Talking about good books, Michael Treloar in Adelaide has just published the most extraordinary list of WW1 unit histories and associated ephemera. It was great to see all the 1st editions and the Burridge and Green reprints all togeth...

A late start this month—apologies. You will find Catalogue #256 here. A lot going on here in the beautiful west from much needed rain to a delightful 3 week visit from our son Toby and his lovely family from Canada. The two kids Cormac and Brigid are a pure delight. Our house certainly wasn’t built to house 6 adults, but we managed. Today we l...

Welcome to Catalogue 255, August 2022 in the depths of winter here in WA. So much for being dry as a chip over here and hot. It’s rained continuously for the best part of 10 days and cold. As I sit here in the late night silence writing, my heart bleeds for those poor souls sleeping rough around the city. The agencies such as the Sally’s and V...

Welcome to Catalogue 253, June 2022. We are now in the Noongar season ‘Makuru’, which is the coldest and wettest season in the south west of WA. Good sleeping weather, not much good for walking. Doesn’t worry me too much as I prefer to hunker down at this time of year. The COVID situation prevails and I’m too old to be putting myself in ha...

Welcome to Catalogue #251, April 2022. The Noongar season of Bunuru (hot summer) continues here in Perth although there are signs of respite (Djeran). Rain is a long forgotten memory here and when ‘the weather breaks’, I hope we don’t cop it like the east coast in recent times. The news is still filled with ‘Putin atrocities’ in Ukraine....

Welcome to Catalogue 250 – March 2022. It’s still blisteringly hot here in lovely Perth with very little respite in sight. It’s the Noongar Aboriginal ‘hot’ summer (Bunuru) which will last through much of March. We can then look forward to cooler weather (Djeran). The news is chock-a-block with Vladimir Putin and his intemperate and stu...
