The best budget-friendly date ideas around Perth

Plus a wanderer's guide to Walpole and more.

The Monday intro is the toughest of the week. Do I write some random stuff here on a Friday arvo and hope for the best, or wait til Sunday night and see if I can’t think of something more timely before this flies out into the electronic ether the next morning?

See if you can guess which path I’ve chosen today…

VALENTINE’S

Times are tough, but we’re still softies at heart – which means we’re always looking for cute, wallet-friendly ways to impress an even cuter date! Here’s a few budget-friendly ideas to impress your main squeeze on your next date:

THE LATEST FROM PERTH IS OK!
EXPLORE

A new boardwalk has just opened in Bunbury’s Kalgalup Regional Park, winding through 20,000 year old outcrop of white mangroves. Replacing the 20-year-old walkway, the 190-metre-long boardwalk will follow the same path…

HOMES

An Iwanoff hitting the market always gets us excited, but this one is especially thrilling. For the first time ever, Bell House is up for grabs. The current owners have lived there since they commissioned Iwanoff to design it in 1972!

LIFESTYLE

Taking place on March 29 at Claremont Showgrounds, 250 participants will take part, designed to raise awareness for preventative mental health education - and you can still sign up!

LOCAL DOERS

We’re partnering up with Town Team Movement so we can shine a light on some of the people who help make our communities so unique, and just a few of the excellent initiatives they’re working on.

TODAY/TONIGHT (FRINGE EDITION)

Ease the Monday blues with a few laughs at the Brass Monkey tonight. There’s plenty of great comics to catch, including Daniel Muggleton, who’s out for redemption with a brand new and untested hour of standup.

EXPLORE

Feeling the urge to go off the grid and escape into nature? Let us introduce you to (or reacquaint you with) Walpole, a small coastal town a five-hour-and-45-minute drive south of Perth, where the forest meets the sea.
