THEY’VE known nothing but “the future”, so the latest Year 12 Perspective’s exhibition will be an interesting look into how WA’s Millennials want to engage us, says WA Art Gallery curator Dunja Rmandic. “It is worth keeping in mind that many students completing year 12 this year would have been born in the year 2000,”…

HOMES like this Hill View Road beauty were made to last, and having survived two World Wars, the Depression and the 1968 Meckering earthquake—it’s set to turn 100.

Plans and priorities for the future Married at St Patrick’s on Beaufort Street and with his children born a stone’s throw away, Simon Millman is a proud local who was elected as the Member for Mount Lawley last year. He now reflects on his first twelve months in parliament. “It’s been an honour representing our local area,” Simon says, “but…
