Welcome to Catalogue #271 from a sweltering Perth. What a summer its been here and we’ve just entered our hottest month, go figure! Our sympathies go out to the Eastern seaboard especially NQ which has been hit with serious floods. I’m surprised that the Defence Force hasn’t been mobilized in its entirety. Even if they go in with truck loads...

Welcome to Catalogue 269 November 2023. Spring is really upon us with the city trees burgeoning. William Street down through China Town is a joy to behold except at night when the trees obscure the street lights. My weekend was taken up with sports with the Rugby World Cup (won by South Africa over NZ), the Rugby League Pacific championships won b...

Welcome to our Spring catalogue September 2023. The much-welcome rain has again settled in here in Perth although not heavy, it is continuous. Skies will clear up from here on into a beautiful, sunny spring. I watch a fair bit of TV these days as I’m not as mobile as I once was. I’m appalled at the deluge of gambling ads that seem to prevai...

At last the rain has come here in the parched West. This is the June catalogue, #264, another list of good books. Talking about good books, Michael Treloar in Adelaide has just published the most extraordinary list of WW1 unit histories and associated ephemera. It was great to see all the 1st editions and the Burridge and Green reprints all togeth...

Welcome to Catalogue 263, May 2023. Autumn is now sprung on us here in Perth with cool days and cold nights. We have the first signs of rain whilst the main population areas of Australia, ie, the east coast, are again subjected to heavy down pours. April was a month of remembrance—our 48th wedding anniversary and my birthday, and the big o...

In April 1915, hundreds of young men were landing in Egypt to do their part against the Germans and Turks They hadn’t heard of this place ‘Gallipoli’ until Churchill and the powers in London decided they would take Turkey out of the war by attacking her southern fl...

March Edition Catalogue #261

Posted On Mar 06, 2023 | Aviation,Special Forces and Airborne,The Great War 1914-1918,Vietnam,World War 2 1939 - 1945 | No Comments

At last the first glimpse of autumn here in the very dry West. This is Catalogue #261 of March 2023. Whilst the eastern states have been inundated with heavy rain and ironically, some bush fires, we’ve had none of the former with a modicum of the latter. Hopefully, our winter here will be the wettest on record. Our local lake in Hyde Park is lo...

A late start this month—apologies. You will find Catalogue #256 here. A lot going on here in the beautiful west from much needed rain to a delightful 3 week visit from our son Toby and his lovely family from Canada. The two kids Cormac and Brigid are a pure delight. Our house certainly wasn’t built to house 6 adults, but we managed. Today we l...

Welcome to Catalogue 255, August 2022 in the depths of winter here in WA. So much for being dry as a chip over here and hot. It’s rained continuously for the best part of 10 days and cold. As I sit here in the late night silence writing, my heart bleeds for those poor souls sleeping rough around the city. The agencies such as the Sally’s and V...

Welcome to Catalogue 254, July 2022. We are still in the Noongar season ‘Makuru’, which is the coldest and wettest season in the south west of WA. We had a nice drenching here a day or two back but nothing to compare with the deluge assailing the East Coast. We’ve been bleating about drought in this country since settlement but have done lit...
