Six hours getting on and off a bus in the Swan Valley yesterday for someone’s 50th: by the time it was 3.30pm and we were wrapping up at a brewery I was longing for a giant mariachi-playing dugong to fall from the sky and squash me flat.
You know you’re in a world-class leading edge vibrant tourism hub when toilet hubs are in other languages.
Just about everywhere sells T-shirts, caps, cardigans, blow-up dolls, fishing gear: there’s even felching apparel.
Where’s Cookster when you need him? He would have been stewing in his own juices at the sight of this delicacy. I was keen to compare this to Rottnest herring but Krazy Kym muttered something about me needing a complete basting…
There were other savoury treats too! Come one come all!
But the fun doesn’t stop there for the weekend. Our glorious mayor is coinciding with a significant leading edge vibrant value-added family-entertainment modality today – see you on the bouncy castles!
The Worst of Perth 
What more will local children be able to jump on ? Is that why the Swan Valley is being given away, in the Swan Valley marquee ? It’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle promoted in a goodie bag.

Nevertheless, workers from Advanced Traffic Management are standing around after having put up EVENT AHEAD signs…

That company’s acronym is ATM (as seen on their signs) after all, so I suppose they’ll be wearing the smiley felcher shirts as their uniform…ATM doesn’t only stand for one of those cash-dispensing holes in the wall, but also “Arse (or Ass)-To-Mouth”.
Free tossed salads all weekend!

This has no relevance until you tell us that your mother made it and that she earns more money than we can imagine… or have I got that mixed up with something else?

sortof on the same topic, I’m rather partial to smoked herring. What’s worst about it? The fact that it’s German made? So am I. wait..maybe that explains why I like it…

Why would you give herring – the king of fish, and the fish of men – a soaking in vegetable oil and then stew it in its own juices after smoking it?
I am prepared – as is Cookster, no doubt – to sample non-Rottnest herring and give it a go, but that is not the way.
You have much to learn, young padowan.

Rotto has herring?
Are they like, herring, or fish that look and taste a little bit like herring… and so… yeah, like magpies…. similar, but totally different in north and south hemispheres?
If they are the same as the herring of the northern waters, they communicate with each other by farting. Which I think should be encouraged generally. Just think of the vibrancy…!
