    'It comes down to what the consumer wants': Finance giants showcase the possible future of shopping

    Main Roads WA cops criticism after rest stop near Albany bulldozed

    These rest areas are for drivers who when doing long distance hauls (the road trains trucks etc.) and it is indeed VERY dangerous to close any of these. I lived in the WA North West for 15 years and know this from personal experience. So NO you never should close these rest stops. We used to...

    Safety advocate shares massive road crisis costing billions every year

    I'll tell you what! I don't drive anymore, and what does is to make you an unwitting target for any driver (which is many of them) either speeding or talking on their phones.)

    Hi my name is Julie and I am wondering if this is what's 'wrong' with me. Right from the start I had a bad view of myself that is still there today. No matter what I do it's never right or enough to make me satisfied. I held down jobs that were challenging and survived, Librarian, Library...

    Do you have a favourite quote that inspires you?

    Those are very wise words. My Aunty Vi used to quote a song that said just that I believe it was 'One Day at a Time'. I never thought about them till I grew up but it's so right. Also the saying 'Take notice of the little things, because tomorrow they will be the big things'. '
