Perth has rallied to support victims of the Wooroloo bushfire with restaurants sending food to the front, hotels offering free accommodation and other people and businesses chipping everything from the practical to the weird and wonderful.
Cottesloe Beach Chalets is full with more than 100 evacuees.
âItâs our family business and because of the lockdown we had all our guests leave by Sunday . we had 25 empty motel rooms,â said Harry Davies.
âSeeing the news yesterday I saw a friend displaced by the fire so I rang Dad to see if we had any free rooms to offer. Luckily they had found accommodation by then but we had a chat and thought maybe we could help other families.
