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...

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...

Catalogue #260

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

Catalogue #260 is presented amid the scorching heat of a WA February whereas my son’s family in Toronto Canada are coping with minus 20 degree days. It’s as dry as a Methodist Picnic here in the West with the temp hovering between 35 and 40c. The ‘commander’ here loves the heat and is out walking in it daily. I much prefer the calm of cold...

We recently purchased a collection of WW2 titles, some of which appear herein, many for the first time. They are quality and very scarce books in the main, and certainly one-offs. I expect there w...

Welcome to Catalogue #258, November 2022. We’ve had a dream run here in sunny WA compared to the flood devastations witnessed on the East Coast. So much for the numpty who predicted the dams would never fill up again. Maybe he should get a job with the Bureau of Met so he can get an inside view before mouthing off. This list is limited to five c...

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.

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...

Welcome to Catalogue 253, June 2022. We are now in the Noongar season ‘Makuru’, which is the coldest and wettest season in the south west of WA. Good sleeping weather, not much good for walking. Doesn’t worry me too much as I prefer to hunker down at this time of year. The COVID situation prevails and I’m too old to be putting myself in ha...
