Electric Island music festival returns to Cott Beach this April
Plus who's keen to watch Jaws while floating on the water this Friday?
It seems like every year a ‘watch Jaws while floating on tubes’ event comes around that never actually eventuates, so we’re excited to see one actually going ahead this Friday, especially given how hot the nights have been this week. So while this noted shark movie fanatic will have to settle for its not-as-bad-as-you-remember sequel, he’s excited for a float down in Mandurah this weekend.
For the rest of you (perhaps more well-adjusted) folks, you’ve got new seafood bottomless brunches, Margaret River restaurants and more to check out, including the just-announced lineup for a returning electronic music festival on the sands of Cottesloe Beach this April.
