HOMES

With trails of ivy across its lilac exterior, 36A Geddes Street has lived a number of lives since its origins as a corner store in the early 1930s – reportedly the first store in WA to use the term “supermarket” – before becoming a coffee roastery, tea warehouse and then hire car premises.

SPONSORED

As people’s habits continue to evolve in the work from home era, more and more we’re searching for the finer things in life like community, good food, cold pints, a little closer to home.

EVENTS

From the ashes of the legendary band Joy Division, New Order has triumphed over tragedy to emerge as one of the most influential and acclaimed bands of all time.

Thursday Meal Deal: $22 taco plates at Tommy Tacos

Hopefully we don’t regret sharing this one today (we’re headed there later on). Score 2x birria tacos, consomme, esquites, corn chips, guac and 2x fried chicken tendies... all for $22 at this beloved Highgate hang.

WHAT’S ON

Look there’s plenty on this weekend, from the Blessing of the Fleet to the Cockburn Rotary Spring Fair and Rockingham’s own version of Sculpture by the Sea, but we’ve got two eyes firmly focused on the Mucky Duck Bush Band making an appearance at one of our fave heritage pubs…

Throwback Thursday

The Blessing of the Fleet welcomes the annual fishing season, and the Fremantle iteration, which first took place in 1948, particularly owes its beginnings to Sicilian migrants from seaside towns Molfetta and Capo d’Orlando. Here’s a great snap from the ‘90s.
