Two-day Cott Beach music festival announces 2026 return
Plus an extra long edition of the Friday newsletter.
Yes it’s gonna be warm today and all but wouldn’t you know it, RAINING ON THE WEEKEND. Look all I’ll say is this: Enjoy these cooler, wet weekends while you can because soon enough we’ll be sweltering through a very steamy Perth summer (it’s not a dry heat anymore, fyi).
Before we get there though, please enjoy an extra long newsletter today — and we’ll see when the weather starts to clear up next week.
Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!
