Hi Ivanjordan, welcome to Perth, I would check your watch though cause it's still only 7.08 so it must have been 6.45 when you posted:)

Its a good ten degrees cooler today and will be cooler for the next week so that might help you to settle down. I saw that in the supermarket the other day when I went to buy some grapes, I thought they are having a laugh !

You have to buy fruit and veg when it's in season otherwise it's bloody expensive. It's not like the UK where they fly in miniature sweetcorn from Kenya.

Welcome & Good Luck!

It's the start of the 'grape' season hence why they are expensive. They will go down to like $3 by the end of January.

Whereabouts are you staying in Perth?

Has it ? Bugger, I used to go there all the time. I know Wanneroo Council wanted to close them down as apparently they weren't allowed to trade to the general public [their produce was top quality though]. I seem to recall Brian Burke's name being mentioned over it - what a surprise.

Does anyone know of any alternatives in the area ? Please don't say Wanneroo markets, the last produce I bought from there was rotten.

We've started using one on Wanneroo road, down past Rons Riding Ranch. It's called "Neerabup" found the fruit really nice.

Hi,

Welcome to Perth, where abouts are you?

The fruit and veg shop on Wanneroo is apparently opening again soon. Saw a sign outside but can't remember the date if it is the same shop.
