Stoked to share a couple of feel-good stories around wildlife in Western Australia today, including City of Stirling’s recent commitment to join the “owl-friendly” movement, and a brand new octopus discovered over a kilometre under the sea off the coast of Carnarvon.
Plus a long overdue round-up of Perth’s best big feasts, a few of the fun things to do around town this long weekend, where you can find endless tacos on a Wednesday night and more.
Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!
