What's open around Perth on Good Friday

What's open around Perth on Good Friday

Plus a few other hot (cross) tips for the long weekend.

April 17, 2025

Look we’re not not checked out, there is still a full day of work ahead after all, but there’s definitely one eye wandering pretty aggressively towards some hot cross buns and maybe a cheeky cuppla alfoil-covered chocolate eggs over the next few days.

Will we get to those pesky jobs we’ve been putting off til the next long weekend? Did we get organised enough for a little getaway? Can the Eagles give us something to cheer about at tomorrow’s game?

A gambling man would say d) none of the above, but you never know! Have a lovely long weekend y’all.
