@greenpea How's things? Pretty stressful times we are living in at the moment. I have been really busy with work. I was thinking of you and yours. My son is in home isolation until next Friday. Pretty stressful.
take care

Hi @Mex Yes it's a national forum.
Occasionally I come across links (on forum) to international threads or discussions (as well).
So it's not only in Australia (it seems).
I'm in WA.
Yes very different weather & temperatures, in different regions.
Still very warm & dry here (no rain).

Firstly apologies to one and all for being absent. Just so busy.
Trying to be realistic and not panic. Buying a treadmill, getting my dvd collection ready and only going outside for groceries.
I find coffee and tea and watching the supermarkets job sites like a hawk really help too.

The best version - I was surprised to find out that it's a Cover version (not the original).
Usually the original song version is the best.

@Adge I'm in Melbourne, so it could rain at any time! I've heard we're several hours ahead but Perth is twenty years behind! Love Perth especially Scarborough Beach but havent been there for years, all high rise now probably my brother got married at Cottesloe, he cut a wedding cake with a chainsaw to fulfil a bet he made. Kings Park is good too, I liked the whispering wall.

Hi @Mex I'm originally from Sydney (grew up there) - too big, too busy.
I've been to Melbourne once (I liked it).
The east coast would only be 2 hours ahead of WA - except for Daylight funny time (Savings), which makes it 3 hours ahead.
Sounds like you know plenty of places in Perth, some of my favourites too.
Kings Park is very popular - yes the Whispering wall is very novel.

@Adge favourite song at the moment is Missy Higgins "Sweet arms of a tune". Helps me remember people I've met, could be seen as a bit depressing but really just melancholy and wistful and probably poignant.
