“Perth’s Best Thai Food!”
by DAVID BELL MORE than $40,000 was raised at the Second to None second-hand clothes auction, held Saturday, delighting Aranmore primary school mum Ciara Thiedeman who’d aimed to raise $5000.
The funds will go to Vincentcare, which supports people with mental illness. Following a story in the Voice two weeks ago there was a huge response from locals. A number of local WA celebrities also donated items.
“It was way beyond what we expected,” Ms Thiedeman says.
Her mum Noreen took her own life in 2009 after years of suff ering a personality disorder. Ms Thiedeman says we need to talk more openly about mental illness and suicide to shed the stigma associated with them
She says the huge amount raised “really exemplifi es that the community wants to do something about this”.
by DAVID BELL THE book is about local history but Bayswater city council had it printed in China.
Mike Severn runs Success Print in Bayswater and says “the book could have easily been printed and bound within the boundaries of the City of Bayswater”.
He says many locals will be “horrifi ed to turn to the back of the book to fi nd it was printed in China, rather than the money being spent in the local community where it would continue to circulate and add to the sustainability of ratepaying businesses.”
It’s hard to pin down who at the council was responsible for shipping the job off shore.
New mayor Sylvan Albert replied via email: “The city awarded the work to Fremantle Press as we believe they represented the best value. It would be incorrect to suggest that the City was in a position to dictate to Fremantle Press who they should use for the print element of the publishing project.
“The relationship with the print company in China was an internal matter for Fremantle Press and was handled exclusively by them.”
So we contacted Fremantle Press. CEO Jane Fraser says since the press is not the publisher of the book, but was merely commissioned by the council to produce it on its behalf, it was a matter for the city or the mayor to respond to.

AN extraordinary election will be held at a cost of $26,000 to fi ll new Vincent mayor John Carey’s vacant council seat.
WA electoral legislation prevents simply picking the third-best scoring candidates from the October 19 election to fi ll the third spot.
Mr Carey says there was some confusion about how it would work after Alannah MacTiernan vacated the mayoral seat. No-one had realised a by- election would be needed.
“It was a mistaken presumption,” Mr Carey says.
by DAVID BELL EIGHTEEN months’ work and a couple of grand spent on a native garden have been squashed fl at by Water Corp contractors.
Chapman Street resident Steve O’Brien took great pride in his verge, removing weedy sand and spending time and money
Garden fl attened
bringing in soil and new plants. “After 18 months of surviving
contractors and poor car-parkers we expected this summer to see the various plants fully cover the area,” he told the Voice.
“We got home [Monday] to fi nd that contractors who are putting water pipes in the street have parked on it: Mini excavator, bobcat and compactor on the top of the plants.”
Mr O’Brien says the decision to park on his verge garden was bizarre: “Ours is the only verge garden in the entire street!
“There are some survivors in the plants they rolled over, but all the grevilleas... are goners.”
Water Corp’s Jaselyn O’Sullivan said Mr O’Brien’s verge would be put back just as it was: “We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.”
• Steve O’Brien’s hard work beautifying his verge was ruined in minutes by thoughtless contractors.
“It was a new scenario that we hadn’t faced before.
“Had I known this situation [would result] I would have resigned as councillor to avoid the expense to ratepayers.”
We asked the top two candidates who just missed out if they were keen to stand again.
James Peart (fourth with 828 votes) says: “It’s a possibility! Can’t confi rm at this stage.”
Katrina Montaut (third with 907 votes) says: “I don’t know. I’m getting a lot of people asking me to, and a lot of people expressing their interest in having someone out of the loop
that’s been created on council.” She says it’s a tough decision,
“after dealing with some of the not-so-pleasant aspects during the campaign,” but wasn’t keen on providing details about what she was referring to.
VOICE CORRECTIONS: Our reported fi gures last week on the Vincent mayoral vote were a tad low. We’d only included the votes for one ward. The results were 5342 votes for John Carey and 790 for Angelo Merlacco. Also, Stirling mayor Giovanni Italiano is better known as “John”, not “Joe” as we’d published in a photo caption.
Another poll for Vincent
A DINGO-ROTTWEILER cross in Highgate must die following an attack in December 2012.
After that attack the Lord Street dog was declared dangerous, requiring the owner to erect warning signs, keep it muzzled and leashed in public and kept it in a child-proof enclosure at home. It also had to wear a collar
identifying it as dangerous when in public.
But the owner failed to comply with the conditions so the magistrates court has now ordered the dog be destroyed, fi ned the owner $3000 and ordered that he pay the injured victim $1067 in compensation.
Vincent CEO John Giorgi declined to identify the man, saying he believed, “it is not in the interest of the community to
name the dog owner”. A noted animal lover, Mr
Giorgi described the death sentence as, “a good outcome considering the danger this dog imposed on the community”.
“The city has pursued this case to its full extent due to the nature of the attack and the attitude of the owner towards the law and welfare of the community.”

by DAVID BELL THE Vietnamese boat people monument of gratitude was opened Sunday at Wade Street Reserve in Perth.
The tale of the work’s progress is eerily similar to that faced by today’s asylum seekers: Its fi rst two attempts to land, at Weld Square and then Robertson Park, were both rejected before Wade Street Reserve was fi nally deemed acceptable. It’s been a fi ve-year journey for the sculpture, paid for by the Vietnamese community (with Vincent council contributing by sprucing up its new park home).
Australia’s Vietnamese community president Anh Nguyen says the monument thanks Australia for welcoming Vietnamese refugees from the Vietnam War. He says it, “will stand against time as a testimony of our gratitude towards multicultural Australia for welcoming us into this great nation”. The striking 5.5m sculpture by Coral Lowry is “inspired by the bravery of those who embarked on such a highly dangerous and uncertain journey of desperation”.
“The wave plinth carries a stylised boat precariously balancing at the top edge, creating a sense of tension and precariousness within the two elements of the sculpture.”
The sculpture was initially planned for Weld Square but indigenous groups with a history with the site “overwhelmingly objected” to it according to a Vincent council report. Robertson Park was

then suggested but deemed too busy and already fi lled with memorials and features.
Dr Nguyen told the council the piece’s Wade Street home
was, “a bright, well-exposed area and is frequented by locals, the general public and tourists.
“It is indeed a perfect and prominent location.”

Parking far from fi ne I AM very disappointed in the way Vincent CEO John Giorgi and some of his staff handle a simple parking ticket.
I wish they would stop harassing my invalid sister, who is also a ratepayer of many years. The staff need to show some respect to disabled pensioners. I am also surprised how much time/money they already waste corresponding about the issue.
I was disgusted with their bullying tactics and hiding behind the fi nes enforcement registry. Their desperate attempts to force people into paying fi ne even when it is not justifi ed.
Ratepayers are prevented from making any critical comment on the council’s Facebook page! I would like to hear from your readers if they can share some of their experiences. Some of these people must learn not to bite the hands that feed them. I wonder how Vincent rates among other shires/councils?

Diligence long overdue ARE we about to endure “due diligence” being a vogue phrase? What’s it mean? Well, er, yenno…I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking you…
Thus, an imagined dialogue with, for example, a local councillor. How many of them, one wonders, can off er without hesitation a succinct defi nition without resorting to Google?
And one also ponders: how many councillors have a dictionary at home or at work?
While Google is handy and often a blessing, its spellings, being American are—I’ll be kind here— often curious.
Our Macquarie Dictionary, the OED and Ephraim Chambers exercise and radiate throughout comforting due diligence: the process of acquiring objective and reliable information.
Objective and reliable local councils, eh? With mergers in the o ng? Hmm.
Daisy Smuten Goderich St, Perth
Brutally hot memories RECENTLY I heard from relatives in Runcorn, Cheshire, England that my niece, her husband and their teenage children are emigrating to Perth.
This reminds me of my two visits to Fremantle in November of 1949 and about April 1951, as a seaman, when most immigrants to Australia arrived by ship, and all would have disembarked at Fremantle.
As a seaman I was lucky on my fi rst arrival at Fremantle by not being on duty and being able to wander
around the town. I recall it was a brutally hot day and I had no bathing suit in order to go for a swim.
At the beach I happened on some children enjoying the pleasure of the sand and water, and I persuaded the oldest boy of this group of fi ve children to swap for a few minutes his swimming trunks for my long pants.
At the end of my swim I took a photo of this obliging group of local children, photo enclosed, with the boy on the left of the shot wearing my long trousers.
These local Fremantle children in 1949 look to be about in ages from fi ve to 14, which places them now around 69 to 78 years of age.
Should you publish this letter and photo and any of these once-children recognise themselves and wish to contact me, I would send them a copy of this 1949 photo.

by DAVID BELL WITH the fi rst winter now gone since the Hyde Park lakes restoration, local environmental consultant Andrew Del Marco rates the outcome of the project an eight out of 10.
“They’ve made a good compromise between being true to the park, they’ve started to address the water quality issue, and they’ve done it for a pretty good price,” he says.
The restoration aimed to deal with the eff ect of hotter summers and lower rainfalls: The lakes were frequently dry in parts, turning them into an acid-sulphate rich sludge.
The Mt Lawley resident has keenly watched the works down at the lakes: When Vincent council fi rst released a concept plan for a more “ornamental” lake that resembled an English garden, Mr Del Marco headed to council armed with a petition asking for a more sustainable and natural option. He was worried that moving the walls 5m inwards would shrink the lakes by 25 per cent.
That petition was successful, and the fi nal plan saw the walls move in by 2m and some edges softened with sedges instead of hard walls.
He says a major part of the project to install a water-quality treatment train looks to have been a success during winter rains. This three-part system takes the runoff from a large chunk of Vincent’s roads and fi lters it before it gets into the lake, hopefully eliminating nasties and reducing the amount of algal bloom- causing nutrients.
Mr Del Marco says he’d like to see the
by DAVID BELL “THAT belongs in a museum.”
Vincent council’s valuable collection of “highly signifi cant” historic bottles will be handed to the WA museum instead of being split up and sold off to private collectors.
Some 3337 glass, ceramic and stoneware bottles, jars and vases were recovered from the old Perth and Fremantle Bottle Exchange Company site in 2001. The

pollutant trap system expanded across the suburb. He says “we’re living in a fool’s paradise” thinking we can drive around in a catchment and not have it drastically aff ect the lake.
He says councils like Mandurah have started installing them on smaller scales along roads to stop runoff contaminating stormdrains.
Vincent CEO John Giorgi says his staff is looking at other areas where traps can be installed as part of upgrades, and they’re being rolled out at Robertson Park and Beatty Park.
“Whilst it is only six months since completion, the restoration works at this
point in time have been very successful, however a true guide will be able to be ascertained after a full 12-month period.
“At present the lakes are still full, the water quality is good, and the new plantings are going very well.”
Mr Del Marco says the loss of a jarrah near the treatment train was one downside of the works.
It was one of only a handful of native trees in the park, and the most signifi cant at more than 100 years of age.
Mr Giorgi says every eff ort was made to protect the tree, but too many surface roots had been damaged during installation.
Thumbs up for lakes
company operated from 1905 to 1974 and Robertson Park now stands on the site.
Archaeologist Stuart Rapley analysed the artefacts and says some bottles are a century old and the more rare items can fetch up to $1000 each.
After being uncovered the bottles sat in the council’s Osborne Park depot for a decade.
The council’s history advisory group engaged a local bottle collector for advice. He had a few recommendations including
“partially dispos[ing] of the collection, including the selling of the intact bottles”.
Mr Rapley opposed that and recommended the entire collection be off ered to the WA museum, a plan the council endorsed this week.
The museum is reportedly stoked: Its heritage assessment states the bottles are “a very important reference collection, a research tool for analysts wanting to understand the nature of change and continuity in this type of manufacturing industry in WA.
“No such reference collection currently exists in the state collections.”
Leftover fragments of broken bottles will be kept to work into sculptures or other interpretation artworks for any new developments at the old bottle yard site.
The council will also be able to borrow back some of the bottles for its own historical displays.
Cr Matt Buckels says “it’s good to know [the collection] won’t disappear into a box, like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark”.

by DAVID BELL A FACELIFT of Oxford Street reserve will be shelved until a cheaper option can be found.
Vincent council had planned to spend about $1 million on the Leederville park’s revamp but the cheapest tender, from Earthcare Landscapes, clocked in at $1.33 million.
The council considered ponying up the extra $300,000 but at the eleventh hour Earthcare Landscapes pulled its tender, saying it had miscalculated and couldn’t do the job for that price.
The next cheapest option was Civcon at $1.6m, so the council tapped the mat. The newly sworn in council this week voted for a “re-scoping of the project to enable the total cost estimate to fall within the current budget allocation”. Translation: “Something less fancy and cheaper.”
AS promised the Mary Street Bakery has replaced a mural that it painted over.
The original work by local artists Konfucius, Destroy and Idle was painted over when new owners took over the old Soto Espresso building.
“It’s just not going to work
by DAVID BELL THE public artwork proposed for the controversial Albert North Perth o ce/unit development is proving just as contentious as the building itself.
Sixteen of 20 submissions about the project oppose the giant lamp artwork by Robin Yakinthou designed for installation next to the neighbouring school.
“Sculpture is derivative and not acceptable, would prefer a tree,” one submitter said.
“The artwork looks very unsightly, can the developer please choose a better artwork?” another asked.
“Disappointing,” was another comment, and “lacks relevance to the area.”
Vincent’s councillors are also split: “I fi nd it a very uninspiring piece of artwork,” new deputy mayor Ros Harley says.
“The piece itself would do well in another area, perhaps outside a library, but for that particular site they could do better.”
“I think a ‘60s lamp doesn’t capture either the school or the contemporary building,” mayor John Carey says.
“I actually don’t mind the artwork,” Cr Matt Buckels contended.
While acknowledging it was reminiscent of an Ikea catalogue he said, “I don’t think it’s hideous”.
The council voted to ask the artist to devise something more suitable for the area.
with what we’re doing there,” one of the new owners Paul Aron said of the artwork at the time.
The new work is by Sydney- based Anthony Lister whose work has been exhibited across the UK and Europe and in a disused sex shop in Sydney.

PSAROS has been told to stop using an unauthorised viewing platform it erected to show off the views at its swank Oxford Street project ‘Bravo by Psaros’. Vincent council says the developer erected the four-storey viewing platform without planning approval or a building permit. Psaros has been told to immediately cease use of the platform, locking it up while it goes through the motions to get a building approval and building certifi cation. If that request is rejected, the viewing platform will have to be pulled down.
RAAH’S loss will be the Beaufort Street Merchant’s gain, with the popular restaurant expanding into the old Raah premises. Raah shut down earlier this year and now the Merchant wants to change its licence to a “tavern” to account for the increased patronage from expanding. Scott Taylor soothed Vincent councillors telling them not to be scared by the word “tavern”. “It is by no means the usual drinking house that you’d expect to see,” he said. Four neighbours supported the expansion, and the majority of councillors gave it the thumbs up.

A BARBED wire capital letter C is a hard- edged reminder of the
racial tensions in Australia
ARTS JENNY D’ANGER
Just another black on and off the sports fi eld, in PICA’s latest exhibition.
Titled just another black C, it’s part of String Theory: Focus on Contemporary Australian Art at the Northbridge gallery.
It refers to 2010 comments by NSW rugby league coach Andrew Johns who told players at a coaching clinic that when they saw Queenslander Greg Inglis on the fi eld they should “tackle the black c…,” Museum of Contemporary Art senior curator Glenn Barkley says.
Like string coming off a
spool, the story rolled out and the consequences were widespread and tangled, including Johns’ resignation as coach.
Barkely’s experience in
putting together the exhibition was less traumatic, although somewhat bruising as he travelled the country from Tasmania to Arnhem Land, Queensland and WA.
String Theory features works by more than 30 indigenous artists and groups from across Australia, using traditional weaving material such as grasses, along with string, wire and wood.
It’s a diverse range of works using textile traditions, along with sculpture, photography, painting and video, Barkley says.
Strung through the exhibition is the interconnection of groups and artists and the broader community, and the outcome is some stunning art that tells the story of being Aboriginal.
Dale Harding’s works came out of conversations with his grandmother and mother: “Slowly evolving into artworks that tell the hard truths of Australian history.”
The scientifi c string theory is hard to get a handle on, but purports to be a theory of the interconnectedness of everything in the universe.
“In the context of this exhibition, it implies expansion and connection across time and
space, a porous and open ended embracing of diverse approaches to the idea of ‘fi bre’ or craft- based disciplines,” Barkley says.
Pieces range from strange but endearing dolls to huge half- tree half-people creations by the Tjanpi Desert Weavers, from the Northern Territory’s Western Desert area.
The tree-people are based on the “seven sisters” a story common to many indigenous people but similar myth can be found in European history, Barkley says.
The dolls are made by the Noongar Doll Makers, who started off with simple doll- making workshops in Narrogin and Pingelly.
“The workshops soon grew into weekly community gatherings driven by story- telling, doll-making and family connections,” Barkley told the Voice.
String Theory runs November 16 to January 5 at PICA, in the Perth Cultural Centre, James Street, Northbridge.

Winning combinations Winning the lotto has never been easy. For instance, in a Powerball game alone there are roughly 175 million number combinations to choose from. But as luck will have it, in at Mr Munchies, hidden in a little alley behind Grill’d on 669 Beaufort Street, your chances of picking the winning combinations are very high.
And after a busy fi rst year in business, Henry Susanto and Rickie Hsu refl ect on a winning concept; a fresh sushi place where the customers can pick and choose their ingredients and combinations. The idea came to Henry who was sick and tired of sushi that taste of fridge. “Real sushi is not meant to be refrigerated; it’s supposed to be room temperature” Henry says. “Plus, I can’t stand the fl avour of the Perth fridges!” Henry continues with a warm laugh. And it seems the Mount Lawley crowd agrees with him.
This is how it works: fi rst, you choose your meal; sushi roll or sushi salad. Then you pick your base, followed by your stuffi ng and then fi nally your toppings. And if you need a little guidance, there’s the pre- determined sushi set-ups; time tested combinations or even new inventions
like ‘surf n turf’ with grilled steak rolled together with steamed prawn and snow pea sprout, topped with garlic chip and chilli fl akes and slathered with sweet onion sauce. Another favourite is the chicken and prawn fritter with sweet chilli sauce, coriander and mango and the newly introduced “Bento Boxes” - the Japanese version of our lunchboxes. There’s also an array of seasonal sushi where the ingredients are only available for a short time of the year.
If there’s such a thing as being at the “forefront” of sushi making; this is it. Mr Munchies is a fusion set up, a mix of modern and traditional fl avours. A Japanese traditionalist might feel an unexplained urge to poke themselves in the eye but for all others - raise your chopsticks in celebration!
Pop in to the trendy, pop art decal store this week and try your luck at picking the winning combinations.
Open for lunch and dinner, every day of the week between 11am and 9pm.

HOW to have a 15-minute orgasm using nothing but
an apple assaulted my eyes during a Google search for the name of a local raw food company.
I passed on the notion and instead rang Tarts Cafe, where staff reminded me the company I was looking for was called Rawgasm (it supplies treats to the cafe).
Fruit and sex have long had a symbiotic relationship so it’s apt that Tarts Cafe and Gourmet Food and Gifts is found in Lake Street, Northbridge, once a hangout for prostitutes.
“My, how times have changed,” I thought, somewhat primly, driving past funky eateries and shops on my way there.
It’s apparently called Tarts not because of the streetwalkers but because it’s so tempting— uhhh huh—and tempted I was, to eat more than I should, and to buy things I didn’t really need.
Owner John Vallini and partner Sandra took over the place seven years ago introducing a more varied menu that includes a terrifi c range of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
I was hoping my lunch companion would go for something meaty, in the interests of carnivorous readers, but alas he opted for a savoury mu n: They’re homemade, the size of a Valiant’s hubcap and crammed with spinach and chunks of fetta.
“Light, fl uff y and delicious,” was the verdict.
For meat eaters there’s plenty of choice, including a steak sandwich ($19.90) with scotch
FOOD JENNY D’ANGER FFFFFF JE
fi llet, baconnaise (dunno, you’ll have to ask, sounds smoky) sauce, pesto tomato, caramelised onion, served with salad. Chips are an optional extra for $2.50 more.
Or, there’s the slow- cooked beef cheeks ($26), with asparagus and potato croquettes, and topped with a fried egg.
My eye was caught by the roast tower ($23.90), a stack of char-grilled vegetables, topped with thick house-made hommus (so good and so unusual I had to verify it was just hommus) and a couple of perfectly cooked asparagus spears that were warm and crunchy.
A very good coff ee washed down a rich brownie ($4.90) from Rawgasm while my lunch
partner downed a second cappuccino and hoed into a strawberry tart ($6.90) that was groaning with strawberries and served with a rich, thick cream.
All but the Rawgasm cakes are made on the premises.
Like Dr Who’s Tardis, Tarts is much bigger than it appears from the street.
Along with pavement seating there’s a “board room”, “lounge room” a limestone-walled cellar for private functions and a delightful garden setting at the rear.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) The Moon is low. This is always a time for turning in, for retiring to one’s cave
for a little r and r. With Mars in Virgo, you are moving more carefully than usual. This prevents you from getting tangled in your own feet. The fact that it’s Scorpio time makes you a little circumspect.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20) The Moon is low and heading into Scorpio. This new Moon could have lasting
impressions. It’s the beginning of a new cycle of transformation – which doesn’t bode well for dreams of endless comfort and cosiness. It could however trigger an unknown adventurous streak into action.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) You are being served by what could be called a time of creative friction.
Things are by no means travelling as if lubricated by the new generation of engine oils, but they are also not so bumpy as to leave you rattled. You are being shaken in such a way that new plans can surface.
CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22) The new Moon in watery Scorpio, suits you well. There’s more of a boudoir
ambience than lounge-room vibe in the air. This adds intrigue. It certainly doesn’t throw you. Things emerge from under the carpet, but even that is ok in the grand scheme of things. Curious times.
LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22) You are a Lion – and life is presently in the sector of the Scorpion. Lions
and Scorpions don’t mix all that easily. One is a creature of the sunlight. And one is a creature of the night. Hence, you might be feeling at odds with the fl ow of events presently. Keep your mind open.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22) Mars has well and truly set up shop in Virgo. There is a wild man in the forest.
What you do with this, or what this does with you, is anybody’s guess. The new Moon suggests that something fresh and new is on the horizon. Mars will give you a lot of drive. Harness it if you can.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) The Moon starts it’s week in Libra. You are given time to refl ect on what’s
just past, before a whole new era sets in. The new Moon is arising in Scorpio later in the week. There is promise here that old patterns that have kept you stuck, will be brought to the light and transformed.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) The new Moon is in Scorpio later in the week. The new Moon is pre-
ceded by the no-Moon. This is a death and a birth – metaphorically speaking. There’s a little gap in the traf- fi c, where you can revision your journey. Be sure to take full advantage of it and set yourself on a good path.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Venus is coming to the end of her ride on your horse. Have you squeezed all the
delight that was offered to you? Or is there more to go? The new Moon in Scorpio mid-week, heralds the end of one adventure and the beginning of a new one. Joy is your greatest resource. Crank it up.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Just when you thought digging for gold was a thankless task, life provides you
with a set of promising conditions. Be pragmatic as well as imaginative. When these two get together there’s a great chance of an interesting outcome. Life is on your side. It is taking you through a gate.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) All the action is in Scorpio. This is at odds with you. Your terrain is the sky – and Scor-
pios is the labyrinth of subterranean watercourses. There’s no fl ying high without having one’s roots fi rmly planted and nourished in mother earth. Life is calling you back to basics. Accept the call.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) Of all the star signs, you are the happiest with what’s going on this
week. What’s esoteric to everyone else, is normality to you. The new Moon in Scorpio promises a fl ood of imagination, a feast of longing and a huge hungry appetite for all the good things that make you prosper.

The electric bicycle is still regarded as a bit of a novelty item in Australia, but that’s certainly not the case over seas.
If you’re frequent to the ever expanding bike path networks across the major cities it’s hard not to notice those commuters that are making the task look just a bit too easy.
With the recent changes in legislation regarding the limitations of E-Bikes, we’re starting to see a more refi ned approach to construction of these bikes.
The new regulations now follow the established EN 15194 standard that limits E-bikes to 250w with an assisted speed of 25km pr/hr.
The RAC have recently published a report on the nightmare that is Perth’s rush
hour tra c. Overall, the most congested commutes
were a part of Kwinana Freeway, Albany Highway & Mitchell Freeway
With half of all car trips taken in Perth covering short distances of less than 5km and 10% cover 1km or less it seems that a much healthier, cheaper, environmentally friendly alternative is the electric bike.
There are a few companies working to bring new E-Bike design and development to Australia, the main one being Fremantle’s Zap Electric Bikes. They have been operating for almost 3 years and moving to a new warehouse premises in Bibra Lake to handle the increase in demand. We spoke to them and they gave us an insight in to there future
development plans for the Australian market. Zap Electric Vehicles has been in business
for 3 years now and have seen a huge uptake in E-Bikes in that time. At the minute were working on our next generation bikes for our range.
Our e-commerce site is up and running, helping us get our bikes to every part of Australia now. In combination with our website expect to see Zap Dealerships in the major cities in the future.
Thanks to Zap Electric Vehicles, the Perth Voice giving readers the chance to win one of 2 electric bikes.
You can visit Zap Electric Vehiles at 8 Port Kembla Drive, Bibra Lake or online at www.zapelectricvehicles.com.au

ESTATE JENNY D’ANGER EEEEEE JE
THIS sweeping two-storey apartment in Wittenoom Street, East Perth is all uber-modern
opulence and sleekness, across a sprawling 306sqm.
It’s as far removed from the deadly- dust swept ghost town the street is named after that you could possibly imagine.
Glowing timber fl oors and a gargantuan open-plan living/dining/ kitchen greet you as you step out of the lift.
A VDO intercom means you can screen for door-to-door salespeople or those peddling salvation. Unfortunately an automated trapdoor and pit fi lled with spikes doesn’t come with the system: A public liability risk, apparently.
The developer/vendor built this penthouse for himself, so attention to detail and layout are second to none.
Sets of bifold doors off the living area lead out to a spacious balcony. Step up to the railing and you’re greeted by parkland and the Perth skyline.
An equally large balcony off the kitchen also has bifolds, sans the views, and is a great spot for alfresco breakfasts.
Open them all and you can host the mother-of-all parties, and still have room to spare.
The gourmet kitchen is a mouth- watering domain, with caesar stone benches, including a breakfast bar and a fl oor-to-ceiling pantry.
Sleek timber stairs lead to the three bedrooms and two-bathrooms including a commodious main suite, designed to pamper with a private balcony, spacious ensuite and spa.
Mere minutes from the CBD this abode off ers stylish inner-city living in a quiet, leafy street, close to cafes, restaurants
and shops. There are two car bays in a secure garage for sojourns to the country estate. Inner-city travel is taken care of by foot, pedalling or a CAT.
