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...

Posted On Feb 03, 2022 | Military Biography,Military General,SIMMO,Special Forces and Airborne,The Great War 1914-1918,Vietnam,World War 2 1939 - 1945 | No Comments

Welcome to list #249, the first of 2022. Bit hard to get one out after the ‘festivities’ of Christmas and the new year. I’ve always held off with a January list because ‘most’ people have run out of sheckles after the over-indulgences of the festive season. It also gives us a chance and kick back and watch the cricket (4 nil by the...

Ah, Christmas beckons! And our gift to you is this quite large list offered at LESS 20%. Welcome to Catalogue #248 December 2021. As a lot of the country are in ‘lock down’, we here in WA, are ‘locked in’. The Premier has called this ‘an island within and island’. Not sure he’s on the completely right track as a lot of businesses ass...

Welcome to our November list—#247. This is the penultimate offering for 2021 and as we slide towards Christmas, we look back on what has been a tumultuous year. Covid has knocked the world into a cocked hat so to speak. We’ve been quite fortunate here in WA with relatively little sign of the pandemic. Our steadfast Premier has been resolute in...

Posted On Aug 01, 2021 | Military Biography,Military General,Naval,SIMMO,Special Forces and Airborne,The Great War 1914-1918,Vietnam,World War 2 1939 - 1945 | No Comments

Welcome to list #244, August 2021. For various reasons this is a shortened list with various categories given a rest for a month or so. In close analysis, it has been determined that these ‘rested’ categories were attracting little interest, so this month, we would stick to the main areas of interest, ie, WWI and WW2. But rest assured, we will...

Welcome to Catalogue #242—at the onset of winter here in Perth. It’s been a savage summer here in Perth, a season I don’t relish as I get older. When young and fit it’s a glorious season but for us septagenarians, it’s a real hassle. We got our first serious rain over the last few days which was fantastic. Let’s hope it rains all winte...
