Welcome to the weekly wrap
What a pleasant surprise the March long weekend is - Labour Day rolls around and many of us aren’t even sure what it’s for*, but we’re grateful for the extra day off all the same. It’s usually still pretty warm, which means the beach is on the cards, including a pop down to Cott where Sculptures by the Sea kicks off again. Whatever you’re up to we hope you have a good time doing it!
*Turns out it’s to celebrate the granting of the 8-hour working day for West Aussies… Wonder if we’ll ever have one in the future to celebrate the 4-day working week for West Aussies 🤔
EAT & DRINK
Taking over the old Mother space on High Street in Fremantle, we dropped into H&C Urban Winery’s vast, greenery-filled space for a chat to owner Phil Thompson ahead of the venue’s imminent opening.
