WA Day long weekend really staking a claim as the new Welcome to Winter long weekend. Which, given its proximity to June 1, makes a lot of sense. Anyway having stated the bleeding obvious (and hoping you enjoyed a bit of cosy R&R over the past few days), let’s get down to business, be grateful for the four day week coming up and try not think about the fact there’s 115 days until the next long weekend.
Below you’ll get to know the crew behind Stakehill Produce, serving up some of the state’s best tomatoes at some of our fave farmers markets; a little PSA around turtle hatchling season; a contentious new development down south; and a round-up of our fave spots for dumplings around town.
