Photography by Ross Wallace Don’t tell my husband this, but I fall in love really easily. And all the time. Not with charming Italian men (one was enough, thank you very much), but with bars. Each new watering hole that pops up around town – and lately there have been plenty – becomes my new […]
Sure, you might have learned your times tables, where the hell to put the apostrophe and the ‘s’ and how many H’s bond to the O, but how many of us can actually say we were schooled on how to take on life itself? You know, like how to master the art of relationships, make […]
As part of its Perth City Life season, the City of Perth is offering weekly outdoor vinyasa yoga, Zumba and tai chi classes in the Northbridge Piazza, and better yet, they’re free. Unable to resist a bargain (and a relaxing one, to boot) I headed to yoga this week. Laura Carroll, who also runs the […]
In the not-too-distant past Northbridge was hardly a mecca for creative types. Before small bars and William Street’s hipster makeover, Northbridge was more of a rough, urban ghetto; Perth’s very own Law and Order scenescape. But since its recent cultural makeover – think the Bird, summer night markets and the hipster-friendly astro-turfed Rooftop Movies – […]
Living in Perth, we’ve all experienced the pangs of cultural cringe from time to time. But never, NEVER in summer. Especially not with Perth’s glorious, two-month-long arts season spanning January and February. The Fringe World Festival and the Perth International Arts Festival make Perth feel like the centre of the universe. That’s how we feel, […]
So Christmas is really, REALLY soon, and you probably have some picky friends (let’s call it “superb taste”, shall we). Or you’re a Christmas procrastinator and haven’t even started your Christmas shopping yet. Your solution: the Illuminites Night Markets in the Perth Cultural Centre on Friday. The markets have a distinct focus on WA designers and […]
1905 is a new, open plan café with a twist that will leave you feeling like your early morning coffee purchase has just saved the world. The staff at 1905 are employed by Workpower, an organisation that creates training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities and mental illness. 1905 are proud to produce much […]
At last! A festival for the bookworms and word nerds: the Let Them Eat Zines: A Zine Festival. Never heard of zines before? Neither had we, which is why we tracked down local expert Rachael Kuan from the Perth Zine Collective, a group of zine enthusiasts who run a regular calendar of workshops in libraries around […]
In Vietnam, the best hawker’s food is eaten right in the thick of the urban action on miniature child-sized plastic chairs sandwiched between grimy scooters, pedestrians and the nearly palpable cloud of exhaust fumes. It only sounds terrible. It tastes delicious. Luckily, we’ve got a tad more space for our Vietnamese hawker’s food here in […]
Think burgers and cocktails don’t match? Perthites Hamish Fleming and Siobhan Blumann reckon they do. In fact, they’ve built their burgeoning burgers-and-cocktails empire on it. The couple own Mrs Brown – a gorgeous North Fremantle small bar that welcomes patrons to bring in take-away burgers from the neighboring Flipside (yep, Hamish and Siobhan own this […]

Great about Perth
