Top 5 Freo Markets
1. Mad Hatter and Village Art Markets The end of High Street formerly populated by a few discount stores and the shell of the Myer building has come alive again thanks to the Mat Hatter Markets. Located in the King’s Square precinct, the markets seek to keep alive Freo’s tradition of being a market town, […]
Pure Moves, Cottesloe
As the clock strikes 5pm at the end of a working day, exercise isn’t usually the first thing on my mind. Seriously, who wants to exert themselves anymore than they’ve had to all day?! Since I discovered Pure Moves, a boutique Pilates studio in Cottesloe, my whole mindset has shifted. And while my Victoria’s Secret […]
Live Below the Line
Could you live on $2 a day? That’s what the team behind charity campaign Live Below the Line is asking you to do. For five days between 6-10 May, eat on just $2 a day – the equivalent of the extreme poverty line – to raise awareness for the people who live in extreme poverty […]
A Taste of Middle Perth
This year’s Eat, Drink, Perth begins on the first day of autumn. That can’t be a coincidence. What better way is there to celebrate the end of bikini season and the start of winter weight gain, than an entire month’s worth of culinary events, from hawkers’ markets and coffee tastings to pop-up bars and cooking […]
Bad Apples, Applecross
Did someone say Applecross needed a wine bar? The owners of Bad Apples ask this rhetorical question on their Facebook page. With crowds of customers streaming through its doors each night, it would seem the answer is an emphatic yes. Although Bad Apples has only been open for a month, you wouldn’t know it from the slick […]
Fringe World: Drags Aloud
When Joan Rivers calls a show terrific you pay attention, and that’s what’s happened to Drags Aloud, who make their Perth Fringe Festival debut with their hilarious show The Priscilla Experience. The Priscilla of the show’s title is a reference to the now ubiquitous connection between drag queens and the famous movie, rather than the […]
Fringe World: Tumble Circus
Fresh from a “Best Circus Show” win at last year’s Adelaide Fringe Festival, Tumble Circus brings to Perth its lauded show, This is What We Do for a Living”. Celebrating the seventeen-year pairing of musings acrobatic wunderkinds Ken and Tina, the show is set to a nostalgic narrative peppered with laughs, and anecdotes. If you’ve […]
Fringe World: Lords of Luxury
They’ve neglected their law degrees, upped sticks from Perth and made a name for themselves in the world of arts and entertainment in Melbourne and Sydney. And now Lords of Luxury, one of the more established acts taking part in Fringe World, is back with a show that’s not only a WA premier, but a […]
Fringe World: EastEnd Cabaret
It’s cabaret, but not as you know it – unless when Sally sang, “what good is sitting alone in your room?” you thought to immediately enter someone else’s. Self-proclaimed deviant diva Bernadette Byrne and her gender-bending musical playmate, half-moustached Victor Victoria, romp through a catalogue of original songs in their Fringe Festival show, EastEnd Cabaret: […]
Fringe World: Comic Strip
If you keep hearing about burlesque but don’t feel comfortable diving straight in, then your time has come. Comic Strip, Perth Fringe Festival’s celebration of both buxom burlesque beauties and stand-up comics, mixes performance with comedy. And it’s brilliant. Making its debut at the festival, Comic Strip triumphantly revives the glory days of the 60s, […]
