They’re a bit luke-warm on Shazzatown, though: “Locals love to hate “Freo” and the Freemantle Markets may offer a little too much “alternative” lifestyle for some people. There’s no shortfall of felt bags, handmade jewellery and melodic buskers here.”

But Cott gets the thumbs-up: “Cottesloe’s iconic sprawling sands, fringed with distinctive pointy Norfolk pines, sum up everything a great family Aussie beach should be.” Cott, of course, is “one of 19 within the city limits, with miles of white sand and clear waters as well as stupendous views across to car-free Rottnest (Rotto)”.

And don’t forget: “Join a Nannup guide whose family are direct descendents of the Wadjuk for a tour through the Southern Hemisphere’s largest green space, Kings Park, to learn about bush tucker survival and Dreamtime history. The native flora and fauna here, such as the mighty Boab tree, are magnificent. Don’t miss the park’s highlight, a stroll over the canopy of eucalyptus trees via a sweeping glass and steel aerial walkway (indigenouswa.com).”

You are invited to attend a special day of celebration. The rural setting of Serpentine has been chosen as the site to conduct this celebration as it is an important Power Node for the earth. Meeting in a spiritual and/or sacred way near to any of the earth’s power nodes is greatly enhanced at the Holy time of Wesak, celebration of the Buddha. Strictly no entrance for “Rainmakers”.

A door to sacred knowledge is opened where changes occur and a new Solar Radiation frequency is projected. This Aquarian Shift or Crystalline (Ascension) Grid allows for the opening of the pineal gland, located in the brain, thus allowing for the expansion and improved clarity of psychic/spiritual vision.
This is a powerful and incredibly charged unique event. Guardians of the Earth will be present. It is a potent time where Divine Light is more easily received, integrated and transformed into wisdom.
With the presence of the Cosmic and Spiritual Hierarchy:
– Any obstacle can be released.
– Acceleration and clarity is enhanced, even for urban planners.
