Shootings in Australia
Just seen on BBC a item on shootings in a suburb of Perth? Apparently 4 families murdered. Missed the full story and it's not on Sky.
Anyone able to confirm/enlarge on this?

Re: Shootings in Australia
Been on telly here , I missed it as I was out. Wife saw but can’t remember the suburb. No doubt will come on again. Cheers JWS. Just looked it up was in Margaret River which is not Perth over 100 miles south of. A good example of the concise and correct information put out by our media moguls. Cheers JWS

Re: Shootings in Australia
As a rider to this post and maybe others in Australia could clafify more. When I came out here to live I brought my old English ideas with me. E.G. a city had to have a cathedral for starters and believe Ely was about the smallest city going. Out here I was told in W.A. 20,000 inhabitants was the proviso of attaining that pivilige of title of City. Whether that still applies or not I don’t know. I live 50 klicks from Perth but live between two othercities Mandurah and Rockingham both about 20 klicks on each side. Rockingham was named after a sailing ship early in its history so no doubt that is buried in maritime history somewhere. Fremantle is named after a British naval officer and Mandurah is an Aborigine name. If I walk due west for 200 yards I would find myself struggling for survival in the Indian Ocean fair game for any cruising grey nurse or beach bum on a surf board.only made 8 kws of power today via the solar panels, winter has arrived. Cheers JWS
