Three cheery headlines this morning in theWest – Perth and Western Australia’s dominant newspaper:

Five Stabbed in Nightclub Brawl
That was in Subiaco, where I am planning to live. It’s the best ‘cosmopolitan’ suburb around, and everyone is telling me to stay there. The good news (apparently) is that is was not gang related.
One Dead, Two injured in trail bike crash
The crash involved 2 trail bikes, a three wheeler (banned in NZ) and no headlights or helmets.
I purchased a bike this week. A KTM 950 Adventure to be exact, and if this torrential rain wasn’t around I would have been somewhere out there in the dirt. With a helmet.
That happened in East Victoria Park – which is where I purchased the motorbike. I won’t be living there.
Life in the big city..
