9 Dec 2020 Read MoreCape to Cape track
Ian and Alison recently hiked the Cape to Cape track over 7 days. They averaged 20kms each day, enjoying the stunning coastal scenery, the Boranup forest and the beaches. Admittedly the beaches were a bit of a challenge - the soft sand was hard work to walk on, but they felt a real sense of achievement completing the track end to end, from Cape Naturaliste to Augusta, lighthouse to lighthouse. The wildflowers were out en masse which turned out to...

We decided at the commencement of the Covid-19 crisis, that we should focus on assisting our clients deal with the resultant issues and challenges. Since then both the Federal and State governments have put in place a number of restrictions on business, but also implemented measures to assist business whilst these restrictions are in place (for example the relaxation of insolvency rules; the Jobkeeper scheme and related changes to employment laws to give employers greater flexibility in dealing with employees)....

After 22 years in St Georges Terrace in the CBD, it was time for a change. So in early June we packed up and re-homed our offices in West Perth. It is a peaceful place to be, the streets are tree-lined and it’s much quieter than the CBD, but we still have easy access to the city and the courts. We have settled in well in our new offices and look forward to welcoming our clients there.

8 May 2019 Read MoreLord Howe Island
Whilst the office was closed for Christmas, Ian and Alison took advantage of the opportunity to visit Lord Howe Island, off the coast of Sydney. The island is smaller than Rottnest and is characterised by sandy beaches, subtropical forests and clear waters, and is teeming with bird life. The world’s southernmost coral reef protects a crystal-clear lagoon which is perfect for swimming, snorkelling and diving. There are also several magnificent day walks for those who prefer to be on dry...
30 Jan 2019 Read MoreCity to Surf
The last Sunday in August and it was once again City to Surf time for the Tait & Co team. Half the team opted to run the 12km event, while the other half chose the more leisurely option and walked the 4km event! It was a great effort by everybody, on a glorious sunny spring-like day in Perth. Afterwards we all met up at the Tait home in Floreat, joined by a few extras, for a barbeque, some refreshments and...
