Cricket-lovers and the mainstream media are arguing over which failed former Test opener should join the top order in the first Ashes Test in Perth next month.

Who scored a match-winning century in the previous Ashes Test in Perth?

Who is averaging 96.75 in Test cricket in Perth in the past eight years?

Who is in the most clear-minded, relaxed and, not surprisingly, best form of his life?

Mitch Marsh is the answer to all those questions, and Mitch Marsh should be the answer to Australia’s captaincy.

“Basil Fuller made a greater contribution to Subiaco Football Club over a longer period of time than anyone else.”

This stark praise of one of WA football’s most committed servants has been enshrined at Subiaco Oval as part of the sport’s history project at its long-time headquarters.

Basil died last year at 87, after a lifetime of support and almost seven decades in formal roles at the club.

PLC’s Year 10 students reach for the skies.

A group of Year 10 PLC students have scaled high flight after joining a new aviation program offered by the school.

“Being able to take the controls, take off and land a glider myself, all before I can legally drive a car, was incredible,” student Abby Boelen said.

WA’s only Nobel Prize recipient celebrated the 20th anniversary of the win by recreating a legacy that predates the award.

Before Barry Marshall and Robin Warren, who died last year, claimed the world’s most high-profile medicine award, they used to go the Old Swan Brewery on the Swan River to tune into that year’s Nobel Prize announcements and enjoy some fish and chips.

Friends and family surprised Prof. Marshall on Monday with a recreation at UWA of that same scene.

There, his wife, Adrienne Marshall, recounted her take on her husband as a “guinea pig doctor” testing his medical advances on himself.

Mole tipped off cops.

Police planted an undercover informant inside Disrupt Burrup Hub ahead of a foiled protest outside the Woodside CEO’s house in City Beach, the environmental group says.

The informant claim was first reported by investigative journalist Marian Wilkinson in her Quarterly Essay, “Woodside vs The Plant: How a Company Captured a Country”.

Ms Wilkinson, a dual Walkley Award winner and Four Corners veteran, will speak about her investigation into the gas producer’s influence on the WA Government alongside Curtin MP Kate Chaney at an event at UWA next week.

A “catastrophic brain fade” by a bartender led to two girls and their mother ingesting mosquito repellent at a Nedlands restaurant, a lawyer told Perth Magistrates Court this week.

Miky’s Italian owner Michele Angiuli faced trial this week on five Food Act charges after the June 2024 incident at the Broadway restaurant.

Michele Lemin and her daughters Hannah, 11, and Olivia, 12, were all briefly hospitalised after they were served toxic citronella oil instead of cranberry juice.

“My stomach was burning and I had a really bad headache,” Ms Lemin told the court. “I felt drunk, I was so drowsy.

“While I was sitting there [at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital] I was just frantic because I didn’t know how my girls were.”

A stand of towering gum trees on the Sunset Hospital site in Dalkeith has been declared safe by an arborist, weeks after a falling limb crushed a moving car.

Samantha Warren, 22, was driving west on Birdwood Parade on September 24 when the giant limb crashed through the windscreen and roof of her Mazda hatchback.

“They were screaming, trapped in the car and covered in blood and shattered glass,” said doctor Joe Cardaci, who was driving behind the Mazda.

Western suburb residents could be charged up to $5000 to remove any tree infested with the deadly shot-hole borer.

The new fee structure is part of the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development's borer management strategy.

DPIRD previously covered the cost of removing trees its inspectors had flagged as infected during its eradication strategy.

Mosman Park council confirmed that local governments and private residents would now be responsible for the cost of removing their own trees.

Subiaco developer Barrie Le Pley has lost his four-year battle to demolish a strip of historic Hay Street shops.

State Administrative Tribunal senior member Stephen Willey handed down a 90-page ruling that found that the 1920 buildings, which have been hidden behind scaffolding for several years, were not in imminent danger of collapsing, and had not changed in condition since 2021.

“This entire matter has already dragged on for far too long,” he said.

When Bob Harper’s iPhone slipped out of his fingers into the surf at City Beach at 6.10 on a cold June morning, he thought it was gone forever.

“I was on the beach and I took the photo of the moon and thought, ‘that’s a good one’, and then the phone slipped through my fingers just as a wave came up,” he said.

Incredibly, the phone washed up on shore again three months later, and was found by another City Beach swimmer who charged the phone and discovered it still worked.

A charity that launches 1500 disabled people into the freedom of sailing will be forced to close when the Matilda Bay Metronet ferry terminal is built nearby.

"We will have to stop completely," said Graham White, vice-president of Sailability, which operates from Royal Perth Yacht Club, "safety is paramount."

He said disabled sailors would not be able to cope, physically and mentally, with ferries cutting through their tranquil bay every 15 minutes

Floreat Forum was officially opened by then-Premier David Brand in September 1965 and celebrated its 60th anniversary last month.

One man who lived in Wembley said he played on the tank every week when he was a child.

“Despite the perpetual smell of wee, the unavoidable danger of banging your head, and the scorching heat of the metal in summertime, you couldn’t keep me off it,” he said.

It was the first “American style” mall in Perth, offering “enclosed boutique shopping” and two department stores.

“The people of Floreat Park and neighbouring suburbs will have one of Australia’s finest shopping and community centres.”

Such was the boast of the developers Hammerson Group when Floreat Forum opened in September 1965.
