Crown Perth's bougie new wine bar

Plus a few walks near Perth to work through this spring.

A little PSA ahead of what’s looking like a glorious weekend ahead: Many spots around Perth with hiking trails sometimes don’t have adequate parking, or may be amongst homes, so try and be aware of this when you’re pulling up, and potentially even search for nearby bigger carparks during busy times (like long weekends). And always check ahead if they’re dog friendly, as many are not — while we love taking our pets for a trot, protecting our national parks and hiking trails is of utmost importance.

Other than that, we hope you enjoy the long weekend/start of the school holidays, and we’ll see you on Tuesday!
