WITH fuel thieves frequently nicking number plates to hide their crimes from cameras, Bayswater police are fitting anti-theft numberplate screws for free on Saturday June 20. You can also meet your local policing team to yammer about what they’re up to in the area. It’s on 9am to 1pm at Masters Home Improvement, corner Collier Road and Tonkin Hwy.

DID anyone know we had quendas in East Perth? Easily mistaken for rats, the little native marsupials hang around the greenery in Arden Street Reserve and Victoria Gardens. Perth city council’s put up some signs around the place letting people know how to keep the critters safe: dogs ought be on leads and cats kept inside at night, since they’ll both gladly chew on quendas for fun. Locals are also warned not to feed them (our food makes them sick) but if they look parched you can leave out a saucer of water when the weather’s warm.

ESSENTIAL repairs to the water labyrinth and the Earth, Fire and Water ball in Forrest Place are complete. The slippery metal grates on the labyrinth were replaced with slip-resistant versions (safer, but less fun to watch), while a crane was brought in to suspend the EFW ball while copper piping was fixed (the bugger weighs 1.3 tonnes).
