Best autumnal activities in Margaret River

They say autumn is here, but you wouldn’t know it in Perth. Temperatures still in the high 20s, air cons haven’t been switched off and everyone’s still in flip flops (the latter never really changes, though, does it?).  If I had my way, it would stay this warm all year, because, let’s face it – [...]

Greenhouse - a restaurant with a conscience

These days, we’re all looking for ways to make our lives greener. We aim to eat more WA-grown food, buy environmentally friendly products and reduce energy use. Well, we try anyways.
A new Perth restaurant is doing more than merely trying. Greenhouse, located on St. Georges Terrace in the CBD, is not only dedicated to wowing [...]

Perth's cheapest eats

Botswana Beef from Hippo Creek

The Perth lifestyle – full of sun, sand and sport – may be great, but living here is expensive. According to the 2009 Worldwide Cost of Living Survey, prepared by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Perth is the 57th most expensive city in the world to live in. Perth Now reports that it costs more to [...]

Not-to-be-believed size. The patty alone should comprise a week’s worth of protein.
Quality WA-produced ingredients. Everything should be fresh, locally sourced and [...]

Sunday Sessions at Fremantle ArtsCentre

Sunday Sessions are to Perthites what hooded rain jackets are to Seattleites: absolutely essential for survival. Friends come together on lazy Sunday afternoons to eat, drink and will the weekend to never end. Beach, bar or backyard – it makes no difference. But yesterday we might have found Perth’s best Sunday Session locale at Fremantle [...]

Lamont's forte? chocolate

What was my favourite part of dining at Lamont’s in East Perth? The chocolate, hands down. Yes, the decor was unique (I loved the colorful walls), and the view of the river at sunset, dappled with zippy boats and meandering gondolas, would have been lovely had we been seated within view instead of being placed, [...]

Paradise found at Little Creatures Brewery

Every time I step in Fremantle’s Little Creatures Brewery I’m transported. I’m instantly in holiday mode where calories don’t count, time loses it’s meaning , and ordering yet another pint of golden liquid deliciousness is a no-brainer. The only challenge? Deciding between drinking Rogers or the Pale Ale…. or the Bright Ale.
Situated in a former [...]
