I know this intro should be full of fun and witty chat about what you can read below and having fun on the weekend and blah blah blah but I think I speak for a significant portion of the state when I say…

…for hopefully the second-last time in 2026.

And not that you asked, but I’m backing the boys in purple by six goals again. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you on Monday.

When we think of Wembley, we think of wide streets lined with leafy, established gardens and character cottages.

So, when we saw 17 Drew Street hit the market, we thought: bingo. That’s Wembley in a nutshell! But then a second glance, followed by a longer, closer look revealed something even more special.

Nestled between Herdsman Lake and Galup/Lake Monger, the home is a vision of white-picket-fence-perfection – but beyond the white picket fence is a spectacularly landscaped garden, lush with native plants and with a charming stone path to lead you to your front door.

This front part of the home maintains its post-war character – with polished jarrah floors, decorative cornices and timber-framed glass internal doors that are so signature to homes of this era…

The sun’s finally come out (well, almost), and you’ve already conquered all the walks, day-trips, and watering holes around Perth? Lucky you, because strawberry-pickin’ season is well and truly getting underway!
