One of our fave Middle Eastern restaurants is open in Vic Park

Plus Claremont's best cafes and more.

June 19, 2025

Always a good time diving into Perth’s history, and our latest video about the old Lion Park in Wanneroo is one of our favourite topics. A truly wild time, we hope you enjoy revisiting it as much as we did making it.

Elsewhere you’ll find some juicy food news, including the arrival of Little Lebanon in Vic Park, Preston’s Deli does a dinner this Friday, and something for the cheese lovers down in Freo next weekend.

Little Lebanon’s charcoal chicken (and that intensely garlicky toum!) is one of our all-time death row meals – and has often been the salve to a late-night hunger. We’ll be indulging even more with the arrival of Little Lebanon’s Vic Park outpost this week.

Go for a deep dive into the Wanneroo Lion Safari Park!

Depending on your vintage, you might remember Bullen’s African Lion Safari Park in Wanneroo. Also known as Wanneroo Lion Park, it’s the only open-range zoo to have operated here, with lions climbing on top of visitors’ cars as they drove through the park.
