THE toe-tearing terror of Hyde Park is back in custody.

Last week Pinky the galah/corella cross was returned home after he’d spent a few days rampaging through the park. Many trusting souls had approached the bird who had, cunningly, appeared friendly enough, only to fall prey to attacked toes and shredding of shoes.

“He was a bit of a

THE future of sporting clubs in Bayswater will be discussed at a special council meeting Tuesday.

Under the spotlight will be bowling and tennis clubs which lease buildings from the council at subsidised—in some cases negligible—rates.

Spiralling maintenance costs on old buildings and plummeting membership has put pressure on clubs to merge and become more self-su cient.

The Bayswater Bowling and Recreation Club and Bedford Bowling Club—under 3km from each other—have held formal talks about merging.

Bayswater club secretary Dick Chipper says his 200 members were angry when rumours surfaced last year about Bedford wanting to swallow them up.

“We have since held talks with Bedford and the city, and we have formed an amalgamation committee,” he told the Voice.

“We would only agree to a merger if we were moving to a new purpose-built facility.”

terror,” carer Gayle Wright smiles. “He loves toes and shoelaces.”

A wildlife rescuer for Native Animal Rescue in Malaga, Ms Wright looks after about a dozen injured or too-humanised birds at her North Perth home. She’d tried to lure Pinky home but he’d refused to go near her because, “he knew the game would be over”.

Pat Hegney was working the switchboard at Vincent city council when calls started coming in about a bird chomping on people

at Hyde Park: “I was getting calls from people saying that this bird’s been terrorising kids, and come and get the ranger!”

A woman from Ellenbrook eventually caught Pinky, thinking he was her own missing bird. She’d planned to let him go.

“I said ‘don’t get rid of it, bring it to me, I’ll look after it!’” Ms Hegney says. “I had it at work in a cat cage and I subsequently named it George.”

For some reason Pinky’s relentless barbarism

softened. “He fell in love with Pat!” Ms Wright says.

“He even perched on her hand while he was in the cage. He was having a lovely time with her.”

“It was like he chose me!” Ms Hegney chuckles. “I’m just a bird person, I’ve always had birds in my life and I’ve always loved them.

“I didn’t show any fear, I just picked him up and cuddled him. He was biting all the other girls at work.”

Ms Wright now has Pinky safely back at home—for now.

LAUGHTER to hide the tears was certainly true for local comedian Dayne Rathbone (pictured, left, three times).

A punter once took off ence to a joke and hurled a beer bottle, hitting him in the cheek.

“I pretended that it didn’t hurt so everyone laughed, but after I had to go to hospital and get stitches,” the Maylands local recalls. • continued page 3

membership has forced many clubs across Perth to diversify or merge.

Since the 1980s the then-Maylands bowling club has slowly rebuilt, allowing the local darts club and the Perth Pirates Dragon Boat Club to share facilities.

In 1996 the club rebadged as the Maylands Peninsula Sports and Recreation Club.

Treasurer Bob Edwards says the 200-strong club now makes a small profi t but if rent increased signifi cantly, or if it was made to absorb maintenance costs, it would struggle.

MORE than 100 bagpipers and drummers will descend on UWA this weekend for the pipe band state championships.

Organisers moved the event from Riley to James Oval, after couples planning to get married at a nearby venue expressed totally unreasonable concerns about the heavenly din: Highland bagpipes are around 110 decibels, the same volume as standing next to a helicopter idling or a jackhammer drilling cement. Gorgeous.

The B-fl at drones on the bagpipes are pitched at the same frequency as the now-infamous vuvuzela, honked by crowds at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Five bands will be judged on musicianship, pitch and tuning, interplay between pipes and

Mayor Terry Kenyon says mergers are not on the agenda for Tuesday, but he does want to

talk about consistency across the various leases.

“The city is looking to ensure that leases for all sporting clubs are entered into on an equitable and fair basis,” he says.

“Infrastructure costs for bowls and tennis facilities are being looked at as part of the city’s asset management plan and long-term fi nancial plan.

“As part of this plan, the city is reviewing all of its assets and the future needs of the city, including sporting facilities.”

The Voice understands some councillors are irked that some clubs pay meaningful rents while others pay a token “peppercorn” rent.

can go to Singapore/Thailand/Phillipines/Indo return for this much, have multiple punts, we would have variety and the girls would try their hardest to satisfy the client and to earn their tip?”

Men posting to the forum from Melbourne boast of hiring multiple “punts” for what Perth men pay for a single outing.

“The mining industry has a lot to answer for regarding WLs in WA,” “Winwoodfan” argues. He says Perth women routinely charge twice the national rate.

WA sex worker “English Amber” chimes in with: “I’d say 80 per cent of the gents that have visited me in some way connected to the mining biz”.

“Pantsman” says high prices and poor service have driven him in another direction: “I’ve all but quit punting with WLs and have moved towards the SB scene,” he posted, referring to the “sugar babe” model where wealthy men off er on-going fi nancial support to longer-term sexual partners.

Sex workers mine the boom

Malcolm MacLean says joint-favourites to win are the Perth Highland Pipe Band and South West Highlanders: “It will be quite a sight with all the drummers and pipers marching across the oval,” he enthused. “For those who haven’t seen it before, it’s defi nitely worth popping down to see.”

All bands will march onto the fi eld playing together for the fi nale and trophy presentation. Ear-muff s may be a good idea for faint-hearted sassanachs.

Although popularised by

Scots—used in war for centuries as a “clarion call” for troops (the pitch heard over yelling, moaning and gunfi re) and to scare lily-livered Englishmen—bagpipes were actually invented in ancient Egypt.

The bagpipe has only nine notes without fl ats or sharps.

To sound musical with such a limited scale, pipers must learn intricate fi nger movements called grace notes. It takes around three years and a good set of lungs to learn and master the bagpipes. The free event is today, Saturday May 11, from 1-5pm at UWA.

comedy that was a low point but the highlight of a relatively short career was taking out the Melbourne Raw comedy prize in 2011.

“It was defi nitely the funniest and most exciting ever,” the awkward, nerdy comic says. “Everyone at work still can’t believe it but I have a video to prove it. Nobody can say they are funnier because I have the video…so I don’t care if anyone argues about it.

“I even said to my brother ‘I’m going to win’, and then I did so that does prove it,” he says.

Rathbone kicked off his comedy career in Canberra in 2009: “At fi rst every one was really good, but Nick Cody was really bad and nobody laughed.

“But he gave me confi dence that at least if I was bad I wouldn’t be the worst one at the show.”

Rathbone reckons when it comes to comedy it’s a case of sticking to it, no matter what others may say.

“Everyone says you can’t learn…or pass maths but if you even spend as much time thinking about it as you do on the toilet you can learn to play the piano two and a half times.”

He gets plenty of opportunity, with pre-show nerves kicking in big time: “[I] have to do at least three to fi ve toilet visits.”

The Perth International Comedy Festival was a stellar success when it kicked off last year.

And it’s back until May 19, at venues across Stirling, from the Astor Theatre, to the Mt Lawley Bowling Club’s Jack High room and Laugh Locker, to venues in Perth and Subiaco.

There are more than 50 events and 150 performances with local, national and international comedians performing.

They include Maylands/Leederville-based Sons of Fred, and an act with a dance move guaranteed to change your life.

Rathbone is on at the Jack High Club, May 14, tix $20.90.

You can catch the Suns of Fred at the Velvet Lounge, May 15–18.

But there’s a heap more acts if you’re unlucky enough to miss those, including household names Hannah Gatsby, Akmal and Bob Downe.

Going postalI CANNOT believe Bayswater city council’s elected members could continue to argue about the merits of in-person voting over postal voting in local government elections, as they did at their council meeting of April 23.

It is a proven fact postal voting means a larger number of people vote, thus enhancing the democratic process. Bayswater went from a 3.3 per cent in-person turnout to over 30 per cent with postal voting. Non-compulsory voting will always have a smaller turnout for in-person than for postal because people are just too busy these days, particularly at the weekends when this voting occurs.

It is also a fact that in-person voting makes it much easier for serving councillors to retain their seats as fewer people vote. Serving councillors with a relatively small but su cient “safe” vote can then become re-elected quite easily at less personal expense to themselves.

Their expressed preference for in-person voting was based on the shaky premise that postal voting is ripe for political party interference in the process. This was expressed with no facts to back it up at all, just the words of the speaker at the time.

In my 17 years of involvement with ratepayers I have never seen nor even heard of any political interference in local government elections. The only interference I have experienced has been either from council staff or from serving councillors, with resulting CCC involvement.

Bayswater also ignored the fact there have been numerous cases of stuff -ups with in-person voting.

Finally, their own survey of 400 voters that showed a 61 per cent preference for postal voting was dismissed as being “too small a sample to be meaningful”. This was their own survey!

Carey committedI WAS surprised to read Naomi Clark’s rather personal attack on Cr John Carey in the Voice (April 27, 2013).

As a local resident who also has business interests in the area I see John Carey’s “self-promotion” as someone who has an opinion and someone who cares enough about that opinion to present it and encourage debate and discussion.

Hopefully, the dialogue it prompts helps facilitate action and change where required.

Cr Carey is indeed passionate about the area and is quite vocal about his views but is this necessarily a bad thing? I would think not. He works fairly tirelessly in the vicinity in many diff erent areas—art, festival, security, tra c, place-making, and from where I sit there is defi nitely “movement in the station”.

Sure, not everything goes to plan with budget blowouts, etc, and sure, not everyone agrees with everything that is put in place but I also understand some of the art and street furniture projects are yet to be completely fi nalised. The process, whilst lengthy, might allay some of these criticisms when completed.

I’m pleased to see at least Cr

Applaud allWHAT a morale booster for sorely-tried and put about Mt Lawley parents, teachers and many others involved in education (“School rises from the ashes,” Voice, May 4, 2013).

There are reported to be “no problems” with the state rebuilding plans for a $10.8 million “new” primary school.

Coming after the recent federal claptrap about plans to improve funding for primary schools at the expense of universities, this local news could hardly have been better timed.

Voiceland applause, please, for all involved in facing the challenges and getting on with life.

Too loud for my eyesIT is well-known that in a noisy chattering world silence becomes a golden sound, a blessing, a relief, and very likely the same sort of contrast applies to our visual world.

Hence, on the matter of the Beaufort Street murals the question is; should the public have to cope with more visual pollution, given we are already snowed under with business gra ti appearing everywhere, even on our buses?

Let’s face it, the art lovers who fancy these highly imaginative, fantasist and very colourful murals are a small minority. Having had a look at them, many of these works certainly deserve a place in art exhibitions and galleries, but in our city streets they are a tad overpowering to confront everyday.

It would be far more relaxing to look at well-rendered, pastel-coloured walls, (note: most murals do not cover all the neglected brick walls). Alternatively, as most city and suburban dwellers are nowadays totally cut off from the soothing eff ects of natural landscapes, murals showing waterfalls, fl owing rivers, green hills, etc, would be more appropriate, particularly for children.

We already have laws to protect the public from loud overpowering music, it is about time to enact some to protect us from excessive visual pollution.

Finally, what’s the point of having murals when most people today walk around with their eyes glued to their smartphone?

Unit 6, 23 Peel Road O’Connor

by STEPHEN POLLOCK

THE Maylands Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association has voted to oppose the $3.5 million expansion of the liquor store at the Peninsula Tavern.

The application for the Railway Parade pub and bottleshop includes a 743sqm Dan Murphy’s outlet, courtyards and family-style bistro, 123 car bays and two-storey o ces above the liquor store.

The MRRA will present its opposition to the bottleshop element at the next meeting of the Bayswater Development Assessment Panel—an unelected body appointed by the Barnett government to decide major planning issues. The local elected council has no say in the decision.

MRRA president Roger Tomlins says he supports development of the site with ideally a family tavern, but without the Woolworths-owned liquor store.

“We have enough problems with anti-social behaviour fuelled by drinking in the area,” he says.

Last year unelected planning authorities overrode council objections and approved a Coles Liquorland on Guildford Road. That ultimately fell over when

THERE will be no Eid celebrations at Kings Park this year after after the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority rejected a request from the WA Islamic Centre for a last-minute reprieve.

The decision brings to an end a trouble-free 19-year Eid Festival tradition that is enormously popular with local families. The authority refused the application for a 2000-people Eid-al-Fitr celebration at the Saw Avenue picnic area, based on capacity for the area being 500.

Kings Park hosts a number of events each year that cater for thousands of people.

• Roger Tomlins is happy to see the tavern redeveloped—but not with a bottleshop. Photo by Jeremy Dixon

the WA liquor commission refused to grant a liquor licence on the grounds the 1250sqm outlet might harm “at-risk” people by providing access to plentiful cheap booze.

Maylands is home to community-based services that support people with alcohol-related issues, including 55 Central, Bulup Kulung Hostel, Derbal Didjar Hostel and

Shopfront. Council staff fear Woolworths’ plans for the hotel pose a similar risk, despite being half the size.

Bayswater council staff have already recommended rejection of Woolworths’ makeover of the Peninsula Tavern in Maylands.

Council staff say the proposal aff ects amenity and doesn’t comply with the town planning scheme.

Residents reject tavern grog shopUnelected DAP has fi nal say

BGPA chief Mark Webb says the community event has outgrown the picnic area and could create parking and tra c problems: “For many years the BGPA has supported Eid events being held in Kings Park,” he says. “However, the increase in attendance at Eid events at the Saw Avenue picnic area now signifi cantly and consistently exceeds the capacity of that site.

“These factors include the capacity of the requested site, intended use, available facilities, whether there will be any pedestrian, parking or tra c issues, and likely impact on other park visitors.

“The BGPA has consistently said that it will consider an application for an Eid event in

Kings Park that complies with all necessary terms and conditions, including the capacity of the nominated site.”

The BGPA estimates 4500 attended Eid-al-Fitr and 4000 attended Eid-al-Adha in Kings Park last year.

Islamic Centre member Tarek Morghem says organisers have tried for three years to address tra c and parking concerns raised by the BGPA.

The WA o ce of multicultural interests, which is said to be helping the WA Islamic Centre fi nd another venue for the August 8 celebration, didn’t get back to us.

The event is organised by the Maylands branch of the WA Islamic Centre.

A CREW of mysterious ninja grannies has been yarn-bombing Mt Hawthorn.

For the past few months trees along The Boulevarde, between Scarborough Beach Road and Ashby Street, have been festooned with colourful wool.

Lisa, who describes herself as a “non-knitting resident”, says locals don’t know who’s responsible for the woolly crop circles.

“We don’t know who they are but there is a rumour that it is six ladies who get together to knit on Tuesday nights,” she confi des.

“They turn into ‘midnight raiders’ and have been yarn-bombing the trees in our street over the past few months.”

“The colours are amazing and we’ve noticed that it is something people love to talk about when they walk by the street—we’ve heard many of the parents and kids at Mt Hawthron primary are also talking about it.”

AS one of the fi rst employees taken on when Scitech opened, Ian MacTavish celebrates 25 years at the science museum.

The Leeming man joined the maintenance team as part of a skeleton crew a few months before Scitech opened its doors.

In his years there he’s seen a few unusual incidents and been involved in some massive maintenance projects, including the night the giant test tank sprang a leak.

“One section of the tank ruptured because of the heating and cooling and the water fl ooded out covering a quarter of Scitech,” he says.

“The clean up job was basically one week, so it was all hands on deck and exhibits were taken off that area and sealed off and all the carpeting that was on the fl oor at the

time was lifted. That was the end of the test tank—I didn’t want that to happen again!”

After overseeing thousands of exhibits through the workshop, Mr MacTavish says a fair bit of his work comes when kids start interacting with experiments in unusual ways: Most recently they’ve taken to dropping magnetic trains down water pipes (where they attach to metal joints around the u-bend and get stuck. Theory of magnetism: Proved).

His skills at Scitech have been in demand around the world and he’s been called into work on science exhibits in Paris, Dubai and Jeddah.

Before signing on to work at the museum Mr MacTavish says he’d used to change jobs every seven years.

“I did not expect to be here for the long haul, but Scitech sucked me in!”

BOLLARDS may soon appear along the dual-use path at Riverside Gardens in Maylands.

The council is considering the option following years of collisions and near-misses. Exasperated dog walkers and pedestrians submitted a 78-signature petition asking the council to address safety concerns along the foreshore path.

Chris Moore says labradoodle Biscuit had been in four collisions with a cyclist, while schnoodle/labradoodle Cookie had been in several near misses.

“The majority of cyclists are well-behaved and the organised groups are generally good, but it’s the odd one or two cyclists which are extremely rude or arrogant,” he says.

“The worst section of the shared-path begins at the west of Milne Street and ends at the footbridge over the Bayswater main drain. It passes a children’s playground and the main beach, so kids are at risk as well—the cyclists come screaming down at up to 60kph.”

Mr Moore describes as “useless” warning signs erected in 2011 at Bardon Park: “The city will investigate the use of physical barriers, enforcing riders

to slow down, as used by other local governments,” mayor Terry Kenyon says.

“The city is also considering educational campaigns for cyclists, pedestrians and dog owners so they are aware of their responsibilities.

“Due to the mix of recreational activities using the cycle paths, the city has increased signage and ranger patrols to ensure correct usage.”

The council is also looking at a city-wide bike plan. A 160m dual-use cycle path between Memorial Drive and Riverside Gardens carpark, at a cost of $24,000, will be considered in this year’s budget.

A MAGIC NIGHT

by DAVID BELL

PERTH choir Naya Chorale is back from performing at Carnegie Hall.

The newly formed a cappella group of 50 singers had been invited to the prestigious New York venue by the Distinguished Concerts International New York which scours the world for choirs worthy of performing there.

Naya Chorale hadn’t even staged its fi rst performance when catching the notice of the DCINY. It was invited to New York on the strength of a rehearsal posted to Youtube.

Eighteen-year-old chorister Fletcher Cox from Coolbinia met musical hero Eric Whitacre, a composer with about a dozen awards under his belt including a Grammy.

“It was really quite nerve-wracking because not only did I perform in the concert but there were a couple of soloist places,” Mr Cox says.

“You had to audition in front of him and the choir, and I was lucky enough to be chosen by him for a solo passage in one of his large choir pieces, Hallelujah.

“To sing in front of him, it

• INDUSTRIOUS guerrilla artists with a lot of spare time and a lot of spare plastic cups have struck on Carr Street in West Perth.

This pink bunny made of coloured cups sprung up last week on a fence around the block that’s been vacant since the old meat

packaging plant was demolished. In December the local unelected development assessment panel approved a $19 million, four-storey, 87-unit mixed shop/serviced apartment project for the vacant block

but construction’s yet to kick off .

was really exhilarating and hard to wrap my head around. I was very nervous but I think he liked it.”

Director Adam Brockway says the troupe had been astounded to receive an invite so early in its existence.

He described walking out on stage at Carnegie as, “wonderment at the thought of the other musicians that have trodden those fl oors before you”.

Mr Cox, who studies trumpet at UWA, signed up to Naya Chorale after graduating from Perth Modern school and having missed being part of a singing

group.“It was as though I was

leaving a gap, so I fi gured it would be a good idea to fi ll it with something.”

He says the group’s second season is, “looking really amazing, we’ve got a huge variety of pieces that we’re performing, and it’s just sounding fantastic”.

“Every audience member is going to get a kick out of it, I think.”

Troupe’s NYC triumph

by DAVID BELL

AFTER plans to move into a Murray Street premises fell through the WA Club is now eyeing up the Old Perth Boys School as a new HQ.

The 117-year-old club is

Old Boys for old boys?moving from its St Georges Terrace home—despite having only moved there in 1995—so it can increase membership from 1300 to 1500 to remain fi nancially viable.

The club had planned to move into 58 Murray Street (the former HQ of chief protector

of Aborigines AO Neville, who’d run the government’s child-stealing program) but a fundraising drive amongst members raised only 60 per cent of fi t out costs so it didn’t proceed.

Club president Patrick Canion says a move into the old school on St Georges Terrace is now on the cards.

The school is in the hands of the National Trust, which didn’t renew Reveleys cafe’s lease in October 2010. It’s been empty since and, after a refurbishment, the Trust is looking for new tenants.

“We have been in discussions with the National Trust about potentially moving permanently into the Old Perth Boys’ School but it depends on them getting funding to fi nish the building works required and then us agreeing to a lease,” Mr Canion says.

“There is plenty of goodwill on both sides for this to happen but still a bit of water to go under the bridge before an agreement is reached.

“It was very disappointing that Murray Street didn’t work out but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.”

Word of mouth is the best kind of advertising. And if you believe Urbanspoon, Southern Star Vietnamese Restaurant comes highly recommended. The food is modern Vietnamese; a large dose of authenticity and a hint of modern Australian fusion. For example, there’s the Vietnamese grilled chicken salad tossed with mint and coriander, the 5-spice chicken spare ribs and the roast duck and lychee in red curry sauce. In a nutshell: a perfect mix of two worlds. Owner Andy Bui, from North Vietnam, came to Perth to study

at the Australian School of Hotel Management. And his schooling has paid off, scoring a fi nalist position for Southern Star in the AHA-AON Hotel & Hospitality award for excellence in 2012.Southern Star also caters for all kinds of functions. And with a spectacular view of the Swan River, the food is not the only thing you’ll enjoy.

IF this eatery was any cooler the polar caps wouldn’t be in danger of

melting.“Gordon St Garage fan-

bloody-tastic,” I un-coolly text—not tweet—to the colleague who’d put me onto this cafe in a small side street.

Created from the bones of the old Kings Park auto garage this joint is so industrial chic I found myself looking for oil stains on the grunge-polished concrete fl oors.

I didn’t fi nd any of course, you don’t get this urban decayed look without a lot of work (and money), no matter how casual and relaxed it feels. That’s the genius of it.

A sea of uber-trendy under-35s washed through the cavernous space, many leaving with boxes of cakes under their arm, during the two hours my dining companion and I dawdled over lunch.

The owners of Little Creatures, Duende and Il Lido are behind this eatery so I knew it had to be good: Anyone familiar with the (still fantastic)

FOODJENNY D’ANGERFFFFFFJE

Little Creatures will feel right at home here.

But the food is all its own: Soba noodles, sesame swordfi sh, snow peas, ginger and soy ($20) was my excellent choice.

The fi sh was superb, moist and fl avoursome without being overpowering, and the Japanese soy sauce and daintily shaved pickled-ginger slices made the noodles the perfect accompaniment, gloriously piquant and salty.

Pat ordered the chilli, salted calamari ($18), checking fi rst on the level of chilli and reassured by the friendly and e cient waiter she wouldn’t have her head blown off .

It was pleasantly spicy and tender and the peanut and cucumber salad with palm sugar vinaigrette went down a treat.

A plentitude of cakes nearby had been tempting us from the sidelines, then I discovered there

was a whole other cabinet that was a rainbow of outrageously coloured mousse cakes.

I ordered the raspberry and pistachio, an ultra-thin crust of hot pink over a purple fi lling.

At ten bucks it was pure indulgence, but “oh my God” was it worth it.

Sharp and sweet, with a crunchy nutty base the fl avours just kept on coming.

Pat’s lemon drizzle cake ($4.50) was good value, a huge slab of cake, oozing with a sharp lemon syrup.

Gordon Street has its own coff ee roaster, a huge industrial oven in full view just about anywhere in the eatery, where its own blend is produced, and we agreed the result is some of the best coff ee we’d ever had.

Fantastic ambience, great food and terrifi c service, Gordon Street Garage has it all.

And if that was not enough it’s fully licensed too. What a fi nd.

your free, independent Perth Voice

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Life has got a constant lookout over you. For the next fi ve years at least

it won’t be possible to act reactively without there being some kind of transformational consequence. You are being asked to take awareness up a notch. To get this makes a whole new adventure ensue.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)There’s a lot going on in the back paddocks. As long as you view the journey

you are on as a healing and transformative one, then there is lightness and fl ow. The moment you forget and get stuck in the heaviness of uninspired desires, then there’s weight. Keep it light.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)The new Moon begins her week in Gemini. Venus joins her. The

mother and lover are both travelling with you. These two were a troublesome mix in Greek mythology. They are both important energies. Get them to see themselves in each other. Harmonise the feminine.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)The Moon is feeling light and playful. Watch for that part of you that remains

habitually serious. You know it’s nonsense and you know it’s habitual. It’s an underhand way of getting attention. Drop it. Open up to the dance. Say goodbye to your reluctance. Be vulnerable to life.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)Communication is the key – and words aren’t doing the trick. This is

confusing. Having honed your oratorical skills, it seems a shame to have to dump them at fi rst base. Com-municate between the lines with your other senses. Beauty can be expressed in so many different ways.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)With Mercury in Taurus, life is giving you a lovely taste of home. It doesn’t matter

where you are, or where you have hung your hat, notice the radiance of love seeping through the cracks. You will fi nd it in the little things that often go unnoticed. It might not be demonstrative.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)Venus has just moved into Gemini. This adds a little zephyr of playfulness

to your breezy journey through life, love and work. When work becomes play, then there’s a good chance that you are doing good work. Delight is the golden thread that binds your body and soul.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)The future is calling you with a tune of authenticity and originality.

You aren’t about to sacrifi ce it for any dead weight. It may be however, that your drive for a creative future makes you very aware of where the dead weight is. Be aware of it without fi ghting it. Slip out gently.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)As the truth of relationship comes closer, so the line between authenticity and

playfulness has to be drawn. It’s not a straight line. It’s more akin to an artist’s fl owing curve. Too light and it’s avoidance. Too authentic and you’re bogged in seriousness. Dance the dance elegantly.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)The presence of three planets in Taurus sits you in a pleasant place. Roll

around in the comforts and pleasures of life – without trapping yourself in the net of possessiveness. The moment you shift from enjoyment to wanting ownership, then the path is downhill. Savour it well.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)It’s going to be hard to keep all the troops focussed. The Gemini Moon inspires the

crazy wisdom of the child. It’s not a good moon for enforcing rigid attention. It is you who is going to have to bend. Let the habit of fi xedness fall away like a veil and you will be soon back to joy.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Go for comfort. There’s plenty of it around. Watch out for distracting

winds. They may come in the form of ideas that call out for attention but really have no substance. Deep joy is what’s called for here, not superfi cial excitement. Settle on in where life is inviting settlement.

Donnelly Village. To put it simply, it’s special.

A historic mill town nestled deep in the heart of Australia’s South West Karri Forests, it’s the perfect place for a unique escape from the hustles and hassles of modern life.

Wine regionA short drive to Bridgetown,

Nannup and Manjimup, and within an hour’s drive of the Margaret River wine region, the village is a great base from which to explore Australia’s South West.

Built in the 1950s for the Bunnings Brothers, the thirty-fi ve workers cottages, boarding house and workers club overlook the original steam mill, school (now a bunk-house for Bibbulmun hikers and Munda Biddi bike trail adventurers).

The old butcher shop is now a school-holidays screening theatre and the general store is now a café, social gathering

The village has its own forest swimming lake, oval, tennis, basketball and beach-volley ball courts and an awesome 50m fl ying fox that’s a favourite with the kids.

The tame kangaroos, emus, possums, kookaburras, magpies, parrots, blue wren and other wildlife that wander through the village and visit cottages are one of Donnelly’s most memorable charms.

The aff ordable self-contained cottages are perfect for couples, families and groups large and small looking for that special break.

With seasonal specials, you can experience, explore and enjoy Donnelly and the surrounding region from as little as fi fteen dollars per night per person.

ROBOTS can build cars, fl y planes and even beat Garry

Kasparov at chess—but when it comes to emotions and art they fail miserably. Or do they?

WAAPA playwright Travis Cotton examines the relationship between Shakespeare and the silicon chip in his debut play Robots Vs Arts.

In his dystopian future, robots have taken over the planet and vaporised most of the human race.

A small group of survivors—including Giles (Damon Lockwood), a former theatre director—has been kept alive to work the mines, extracting minerals that power the automatons.

Giles is eventually summoned to help the robots create their fi rst ever piece of art—a play.

The bots think what they have is great but it is emotionally still-born—so can Giles teach them how to feel? And if he does, what then?

Perth actor Sean Walsh is

portrayed Alan Bond in Perth Theatre Company’s Taking Liberty.

Outside of his theatre work Walsh is one of Perth’s premier voice-over artists, adding his creamy tones to adverts for Powerball, Westnet, TAB and Ikea.

Robots Vs Art is directed by Philip Miolin and was nominated by The Age as one of the best plays of 2012.

“Computers and robots are now part of our daily life; but will they always just be utilitarian and soulless—a means to an end?” Walsh says.

Robots Vs Art is showing at The Blue Room Theatre, Northbridge from May 14 to June 1.

ARTSSTEPHEN POLLOCK

Master Bot, the play’s producer, a mildly sadistic android.

“During the fi rst rehearsal I tried the traditional robot voice, but it sounded cheesy and farcical,” he laughs.

“I wanted to stay clear of doing an Arnie in Terminator so I ended up doing a cold, sterile voice which I think is subconsciously based on Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner.”

Other robots oiling the stage include a German Integrator bot (Renee Newman-Storen) and a soldier bot/claw bot (Ben Mortley).

Walsh says the play, just over an hour long, has A Clockwork Orange-style sets—luminous white walls mingle with data tapes and 1970s technology.

Adding to the atmosphere are spacy sound eff ects and grainy propaganda footage, echoing George Orwell’s 1984.

Despite a varied 25-year career in WA theatre and TV (The Tempest, Taking Liberty, Cloud Street), Walsh found playing a robot challenging.

“It was actually quite diffi cult to avoid sinking into cliche,” he says.

“There have been so many famous androids and robots characters over the years, from HAL in 2001 to Data in Star Trek.

“I guess my version was an amalgam of all those famous characters, with a little bit of WA in there as well.”

Walsh, 39, grew up in Karratha before moving to Perth.

His career took off when he

I SWEAR Snow White peeked out of an upstairs bedroom as I walked up the brick path of the

formal garden of this Dundas Road home.

And did I glimpse Bashful or Happy through a front window, scurrying to put more wood on the fi re in the delightful formal lounge room?

Such is the magic of this three-bedroom/two-bathroom abode it didn’t seem fanciful to imagine the seven dwarfs marching up the path to the lovely, covered portico with its red-brick quoins, before shedding their boots in the spacious entry hall and heading into the formal dining room for dinner.

This home is pure Disney delight, even the cute kitchen with its mix of original and newish timber cupboards and an enormous walk-in-pantry.

Next to the original timber side-door you’ll fi nd a hatch where once the milkman and baker left their wares in the days home delivery were routine.

A servery over the sink looks into the family room, a not-too-recent addition, with doors to a good-sized courtyard garden.

I could tell at a glance neither the dwarfs nor Snow White were into gardening, but it wouldn’t take much to whip this space into a private oasis.

The well-warmed formal lounge is big enough for all eight to recline at their leisure.

And in summer no doubt the French doors would be thrown wide, as they spill out onto a verandah looking into sprawling Macauley Park, just across the road.

Girlish imagination ran riot as I climbed the jarrah stairs to the bedrooms,

ESTATEJENNY D’ANGER

where nothing disappointed, from the many angled ceilings, huge windows and jarrah fl oors, to a small door, almost concealed in the wall, leading to an under-eaves cupboard.

The main bedroom has a cute little nook under a window, perfect for Snow White to catch up on her reading while the dwarfs are FIFO.

The home was built by renowned architect Stuart Henry Bedford in 1935, for his brother.

A number of Bedford’s other homes, most notably in Claremont and Cottesloe, have been heritage-listed and I couldn’t help but think this landmark deserves the same.

And the location is fabulous, close to schools, a university and golf course, while the delights of the Inglewood cafe/shopping strip can be found at the bottom of the street.
