Welcome to the weekly wrap

Our position has not changed since yesterday, in fact we’re getting into it a bit early: If you happen to be kicking around Northbridge tonight we’re launching a cheeky little collab wine with Local Weirdos at our fave small bar in China Town…

EAT & DRINK

There’s only one thing we might love more than our beaches in Perth and that’s a big, beautiful beer garden on a Sunday afternoon. Bonus points for a long weekend Sunday afternoon!

THE LATEST FROM PERTH IS OK!
EAT & DRINK

Already brainstorming how you want to spend your extra day off? We can’t say we blame you — and we’ve got all the info you need to make the most of it.

SPONSORED

Next Saturday is the first ever The Final, a new event from the Ice Cream Factory and Froth Town team at Subiaco Oval, screening the grand final with plenty of fun before, during and after.

WHAT’S ON

Running from October 18 to 25, catch over 50 events celebrating design across a range of disciplines – from talks with celebrated architects, exhibitions by local artists, to open studios and WA-first live performances.

EXPLORE

Grab your antihistamines… spring has sprung! With WA having the world’s largest wildflower collection (a massive 12,000 species, 60% of which are unique to us), it would be a crying shame not to check out some of them for yourself.

STAY OF THE DAY

Nannup Bush Retreat offers a peaceful eco-friendly getaway surrounded by lush bushland, with highlights like a spring-fed swimming hole, outdoor wood-fired baths, and a cosy fireplace.

WHAT’S ON

September long weekend, school holidays, sun shining… If we hadn’t awoken from our winter slumber already, we have now! And there’s HEAPS on, from the first ever HoopsFest to the Royal Show and all manner of fun under the sun, it’s over to you!

Throwback Thursday

Given it’s (now) the King’s Birthday Public Holiday on Monday, it’s a good chance to throwback to this iconic Cottesloe Beach moment in 1979?

Fun fact: the model, Jane Priest, was actually hand-picked to set up the photo, meeting the then-Prince the night before to ensure her suitability.
