Hello PCS, looks like we both registered around the same time.
Funny you mention Tomato Lake. When I lived in Belmont my road (Armadale) terminated right there at the lake and I've always felt unsettled around that area. Although I don't believe that anyone with a brain would dispose of something they didn't want found in a residential lake. It would only take one missing child in the area and that lake would be plundered...
Interesting you should say that White Swan. I live right near Tomato Lake and by day it is a delight. By night it is quite possibly one of the spookiest places in Perth.
Recently, the winner of the Perth Xmas lights competition adjoined Tomato Lake and scores of people were going there nightly to have a look at the spectacular lights.
Just before BRE's arrest, I was with a small group of people, some of whom walked a short distance off into the dark to catch Pokemon.
Now I am the sort to walk outside with a cricket bat to investigate a noise, but I could not get over how creepy and dark it was there, just a short distance from where the (later-to-be-announced) winning house was literally lit up like a Christmas tree.
There at Tomato Lake I was literally too terrified to follow my friends down the tree-lined path into the dark, even just 50m, and hurried back to the Christmas lights.
There was no lighting at the lake, as I said to one of my friends, it was the kind of place you are just NOT meant to visit at night.
I remember twenty years ago feeling a slight sense of "safety" in the fact that Claremont was far too upmarket for someone like me to visit, rendering me relatively safe as the CSK probably never even visited south of the river let alone 'boring' Kewdale, Belmont and Cloverdale.
Little did I know BRE had, since 2000, been living a stone's throw from my house. Goodness knows how many times we passed by him at Belmont Forum doing his shopping, obviously completely oblivious to the events that would unfold in December.
