Welcome to the weekly wrap

Feels a little weird having the AFL Grand Final NOT on a long weekend but here we are! Find out where to watch it in our what’s on guide down the bottom, along with some excellent news for the Mt Hawthorn skating community, a cheeky little wine drop from yours truly and loads more…

FOOD NEWS

Channelling the laid-back sophistication that makes Perth so damn OK, MEGA RED is fruity, flirty, funky, just a little bit fizzy and MEGA FUN – or as the Local Weirdos lads say, “Like Tony Galati, in a suit.”

THE LATEST FROM PERTH IS OK!
EAT & DRINK

A brand-new skate park has opened to the public in Mt Hawthorn, and it is already proving popular with local skaters.

EXPLORE

There’s nothing we love more on a summer afternoon than going for a cruisy drive into the Hills, and exploring all the cosy cafes the area has to offer. Here are just a few of our favourites.

WHAT’S ON

Pop the corn and clear the schedule: Swan Perth International Women in Film Festival is returning for its third year running.

NEWS

One of Perth’s most exciting developments is currently welcoming investment ahead of construction getting underway later this year.

LOCAL DOERS

We’re partnering up with Town Team Movement to 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.

WHAT’S ON

That’s right, the weekend is (almost) here already, and if you’re still feeling the vibes from the long weekend than you’ll be pleased to know there’s plenty on again this Saturday and Sunday! Check it out below:

Throwback Thursday

On this day in 1983 the Australia II, an Australian 12-metre-class America's Cup challenge racing yacht won the 1983 America's Cup for the Royal Perth Yacht Club.

Skippered by John Bertrand, she ended a 132-year tenure by the New York Yacht Club.
