Sometimes these newsletters take on a theme of their own, and today’s is fun with our furry friends! You can go to the pup-friendly Top Dog Movie Festival at Moonlight Cinemas this weekend, take your pooch down to a delightful Denmark stay with its own pump track, or tackle one of Perth’s many canine-friendly walking trails.

WHAT’S ON

It’s almost autumn, which means the days are getting a bit shorter (boo) and cooler (boo), and some of our favourite outdoor cinemas are wrapping up for the season (double boo).

STAY OF THE DAY

A stunning vista across 24 acres of forest on Mount Shadforth, this three-bedroom stay comes complete with its own bike pump-track. A beautiful house in semi-rural seclusion, it’s also pet-friendly with a big deck to watch the action from.

TODAY/TONIGHT

Enjoy a sonic sundowner at East Perth Power Station, part of this year’s Perth Festival. Casa Musica brings evenings of free music - get up and dance, indulge in some tasty food and drink, or just people watch on the banks of the river.

EXPLORE

Not only is Perth OK for people, it’s also very OK for pooches! We’ve got great beaches and cafés, along with a host of other pup-friendly activities, including heap of great walking and hiking opportunities where dogs are allowed (on leash, of course).
