Welcome to the weekly wrap
Good morning to all, but in particular our veterans and everyone who attended dawn services around Perth today. Lest We Forget.
FORGOTTEN PERTH
Yet again, we’ve delved into the wonderful, fantastic, very excellent State Library of Western Australia Facebook page and emerged with a stunning collection of photos of Freo’s maritime history for all you salty sea dogs out there!
THE LATEST FROM PERTH IS OK!
 | LOCAL NEWSShortcut Lane will see 10 free events over the month of May, including food truck twilight markets, open-air movie nights, second-hand vintage markets, workshops and more. |
 | HOMESThere ain’t nothing we love more than a quirky, kooky home! The whackier the better, we say! And this Bentley home… Well, it’s up there with the best of them. |
 | SPONSOREDThe Regional Road Safety Program is improving thousands of kilometres of road across WA, reducing both the risk and severity of run-off road crashes since it began in 2020. |
 | EAT & DRINK“Closing Bumplings has been a really tough call to make. But I realised that I’ve been spreading myself too thin… juggling being a cooking content creator and author…” |

WHAT’S ON
The weekend is (almost) already here, and with it plenty to do around town, including the finale of the Scarborough Sunset Markets tonight, a family day rave at The Rechabite, and a few different vintage clothing markets to choose from.
 | CCAPTUREDDThrowback ThursdayWe’ll stay down in Freo with this photo of Barri’s Complete Rug Centre in 1985, which you might know now as The Old Synagogue! Via the State Library of WA. |
