Happy Friday and welcome to a bunch of new legends who not only filled out our recent Perth is OK! Survey, but kindly said they’d be happy to receive our newsletter! Here’s the deal: Monday-Friday we’re gonna pop into your morning inbox with an easy breezy mix of local news, things to do, new bars and restaurants, spots to explore, places to stay, some sneaky giveaways and cool-looking homes to dream about one day never owning.

Regardless, we’re stoked that so many of you have joined us on this journey so far, and we’re excited to see what lays ahead for 2025 and beyond.
