EAT & DRINK

Since we first wrote this little West Leedy neighbourhood guide, the suburb has gone from strength to strength – with an ever-growing cohort of delicious spots ready to sate hungers and quench thirsts from morning ’til night!

THE LATEST FROM PERTH IS OK!
BIT OF FUN

Metropolis Fremantle is reopening upstairs, and to celebrate they’re auctioning off the retired upstairs carpet, with all proceeds going to St Patrick’s Community Support Centre.

EAT & DRINK

The festival will be free and open to the public across the first three days of The West Test with live music, art installations, cricket activities, dance performances, food trucks and loads more!

Following on from the recent cancellation of New Year’s music and camping festival You & Me Festival, one of the first act re-schedulings has been announced - Sydney hip hop star ChillinIt.

The best tourist attraction in WA was named at the 2024 Perth Airport WA Tourism Awards – with Albany’s Historic Whaling Station winning the top award.

Throwback Thursday

Cricket being played on the Esplanade circa 1905, with the short-lived Perth City Baths in the background - a magnificent looking building, that did not go down too well with the locals.
