August 18, 2025

Well we returned to the status quo for both WA’s footy teams last weekend, and while there’s a glimmer of hope for Freo, we’re ready to put the blue and gold’s to bed. Not so for both women’s teams though, kicking off 2025 with wins for both - at least we’ll definitely have something to watch in September!

Footy chat done, read on below to discover a very cool Highgate home along with some big upcoming events including three days of epic live music at the Rosie, the Perth Royal Show’s return, and a twilight foodie market makes its way to the Supreme Court Gardens in a couple of weeks.

Finally, a few spots to put on your radar for when strawberry picking season really gets going…
