Feeling a bit too chilly to head 'douth' but still need a getaway? Why not staycation!

The Perth Happenings team were guests of DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Northbridge and from the views to the bath, you'll want to add this to your Perth gems list.

Located right in the heart of Northbridge you can be a tourist in your town and experience nightlife or a show at The Rechabite or pop down the street to RoyAl's Chicken and Burgers Northbridge. Both venues are personal favorites of the PH team!

What are your thoughts on the airfare cap?

The inconsistent and often extreme prices for regional airfares are a major barrier for people living across WA. They just aren't fair.

It's a fact of life for people in regional WA - sometimes you just have to make a trip to Perth. Whether to access medical services, see family or conduct business.

So we have a plan: a re-elected McGowan Labor Government will cap regional airfares for residents to and from Perth, right across WA.

Over the past four years we've worked with airlines to provide a number of discounted, subsidised airfares to regional locations. In all those cases, we've seen great takeup, and great outcomes for the local community.

Now, we want to go one step further, and cap prices for all regional locations for local residents.

Under our plan, fares from locations within 1000km of Perth by road will be capped at $199 one-way. From locations over 1000km away, they will be capped at $299.

If we're re-elected we will work with all commercial airlines to make this a reality, with $19.8 million committed to the initiative.

I am focused on doing everything we can to ease the burden on regional residents - this plan will make sure that regional West Aussies are able to get to and from Perth when they need to travel at a fair price.

It's the right thing to do - and it will help to keep regional WA communities strong.

Hellfire bay couldn't be closer to paradise. This gorgeous bay in Cape Le Grand National Park, within 45 minutes of Esperance on the south east coast is thought to have been named after St Elmo's fire – a bluish flame-like electrical discharge that sometimes occurs above ship's masts.

Mikurrunya Hills in the Pilbarra Region has an interesting Dreamtime story from the Nyangumarta people;

Nyungu Mikurrunya manguny.

Pirirrilu kalkurnikinyipulinyi mirtawajirri warajanga kujarra. Mirtamarninyju mikulu yirrirnikinyi kurrimarniny pirirringimarra. Jalakarti jini kurrimarniny. Ranyjimarniny mirtawa pirirripa wangka waninyapulu. Pirirri yakujanikarti milyakarti waninyi rurtumartaji. Ranyjimarniny mirtawa waninyi partijirri. Kurrimarniny kara waninyi.

This is the Dreamtime story of the Mikurrunya Hills (near the Marble Bar turnoff, 50 km east of Port Hedland):
A man had two wives. The old one used to eye the young girl with jealousy on account of the man. She used to make the girl camp away from the other two. The old woman and the man are close to each other. The man is on this side, near the road. The old woman is in the middle. The girl is west of those two.
