Western Australian of the Year Awards - given on WA Day long weekend?

I'd like to note on both Western Australian of the Year Awards and Western Australia Day that the former are awarded on the long weekend of the latter - that being my memory of the matter - but I can't find a reference that says this (other than the first one in 1973). Does anybody know of a reference that explicitly links the two? Mitch Ames (talk) 03:30, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That covers this year, but I'm looking for something that says the award is presented on every WA Day long weekend (treating Friday night as part of the weekend).

Buckleys - all government web sites deny anything like archives - all the web masters seem to think we all live today and are not interested in yesterday - User:JarrahTree 07:13, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A search through archives - checking every year since 1973 - would probably constitute WP:OR. What I was hoping to find was something like the WA equivalent of this quote from the Australian of the Year Awards: "... the announcement of the national award recipients in Canberra on Australia Day Eve."

The only remaining question is which of the Hemsworth brothers will play the part of the intrepid photographer in the Hollywood blockbuster, The Hunt for the Rare Banksia, and its sequel, Dude, Where's My Boot!. Nice work Mr G. The-Pope (talk) 10:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Green Rain vs Blue Rain

Hello fellow contributors and sandgropers! I recently made an edit to both the Perth and Freo articles changing the rainfall colour in the weatherboxes to green from blue. I had tried this before in September 2014 but, unable to find a consensus I read concerning the use of green rain in Aussie articles, it was changed back to blue. I really wish I could find it! Anyway, the rainfall colour should be green because it will keep in line with other Aussie articles that contain climate info, because almost all of them have green rain. What do you think? Should it become standard for WA articles? The green colour also reminds of vegetation, when the majority of Perth in summer is yellow, lol. Cheers, Luxure Σ 05:14, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note there is discussion at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board § Green Rain vs Blue Rain (including humidity colour) - Evad37 [talk] 01:37, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Swan River Pedestrian Bridge

has been in the news recently, perhaps enough for a separate article to Perth Stadium? Anyway, here are some links for future expansion, either way:
