The sun is shining bright and it’s a clear blue sky sort of day, which is not unusual for Perth. We are off to visit the Pinnacles in the Nambung National Park from our nearby base at Cervantes. The Pinnacles Desert is 10 kilometres from Cervantes heading south back towards the city off the Indian Ocean Drive.

It’s a top attraction that is on the must see list for many visitors to Western Australia which receives over 150,000 visitors each year. Given its closeness to Perth (a couple of hours drive), there’s really no excuse not to visit since the Pinnacles makes for a great day trip or a weekend overnighter if you would like to explore nearby areas as well.

Did you know we have our own Broadway in Perth? It may not be as famous as a Broadway show, but it’s definitely worth checking out if you live in the metro area.

The iconic Crawley Edge boatshed, windy Pelican Point and the bustling café strips on Broadway and Hampden Road are just some of the popular landmarks that you’ll find in the suburbs of Nedlands and Crawley.

Rooftop Movies in Perth – Classics, Pink Flamingos and an Evening Under the Stars

Summer is the perfect time to hit the outdoor movie circuit in Perth. The weather is balmy, and getting outdoors for a night of entertainment is a perfect way to spend an evening with family and friends. Well, Perthites are in luck as organisers of Artrage (including the beloved Fringe World Festival) have set up Rooftop Movies in the heart of Northbridge, showing your favourite flicks out in the open air until the end of April.

So where are these pop up movies in Perth?

Life's Good at the Woodvale Tavern

The Woodvale Tavern tags itself as “Your local British Pub in the heart of Woodvale.”

Having never been to an actual pub in Britain (or anywhere in Britain for that matter, but it’s on my bucket list) I can’t tell a newcomer from the UK how it compares to home.

But many British expats choose to make a new home in the Woodvale area, which is about a half hour drive north from the Perth CBD.

On a fine summer’s Friday night I set off with a friend to check out the Perth Twilight Hawkers Market.

If you have a penchant for foodie events, the markets are a fun event showcasing food from cuisines around the world, cooked by locals.

Now in its second year, the event is organised by the City of Perth and is being held in Forrest Chase.

The Twilight Hawker Markets run from December through to April so get your butt on down there to enjoy some tasty food.
