Dig out the CamelBak you bought in 2001, invest in some super tough band aids, and drop your adventure pin on any of Australia's best hikes and walks. 

There’s nothing quite like the burst of purple that signals jacaranda season in Perth/Boorloo. These blooming beauties typically start showing off in mid-October, hitting full swing by mid-November as we edge closer to summer.

High tea might just be the fanciest way to spend an afternoon—and Perth/Boorloo has plenty of lush spots to prove it. Here at Urban List, we think there’s something undeniably special about slowing down over towers of finger sandwiches, flaky pastries and bite-sized sweets, all while sipping something bubbly (or beautifully brewed).

There’s nothing like a long and luxurious lunch to make you feel like you’re living your best life. No other meal has quite the same feel to it; there’s something about lingering through the middle of the day, over a meal that’s usually pretty utilitarian, to give you a sense of time and life slowing down for a bit. While the Perth dining scene boasts a pretty laid-back vibe all round, there are some places more conducive of all-afternoon-lunch-affairs than others. So grab your friends, park up for a bite and wind up accidentally-on-purpose staying all day at one of these best spots for a long lunch in Perth!

If there’s one day that can trigger the battle of the high teas it’s Mother’s Day, and this year is no exception.

International Women's Day is quickly approaching on Friday 8 March, with the 2024 theme of #InspireInclusion more relevant than ever before. The theme of forging gender equality resonates powerfully, as we work towards a world where bias and discrimination are relics of the past, and diversity is celebrated. 

If slowing down and treating yourself is on the agenda, you’re going to want to make a beeline for Heartwood Natural Harmony in Cottesloe.

Perth is absolutely turning it up for the Melbourne Cup this year, showing off all the frocked-up fanciness you can handle. With free-flowing champagne luncheons, pop-up bars and of course, the big race at Ascot Racecourse, you’re in for a fabulous day of fun and fashion, so be sure to dress to impress.

Truffle season has arrived and this year Perth is getting extra creative with a slew of Truffle High Teas coming to The Westin. 

Here’s a heap of beauty and wellness gift ideas for someone in your life who could use some ‘me time.'

There’s something in the water in Perth and we’re ready to fill our cups with it after being inspired by some incredibly boss babes. From an entrepreneur who grew her retail beauty brand into a $10 million dollar business practically overnight to a whole slew of women with smart ideas and amazing get-go. This International Women’s Day we’re celebrating them all, along with countless other amazing Perth ladies out there.

With longer days and warmer nights on the horizon, what better time than now to break out of hibernation and re-energise by booking yourself and your bestie into a serene yoga retreat? Taking advantage of Perth’s tranquility alone is a no-brainer, but when you can immerse yourself into your surroundings through the invigorating practice of yoga, we couldn’t think of anything more ideal. 

The ultimate cure to the dreaded Monday-itis, a stressful week, or a quiet weekend—dancing might just be the answer to all of life’s problems. Not only do you get fitter without realising it, it’s like a universal panacea that improves nearly everything else in your life, from your balance and coordination to your endorphin levels and even your social life. If you’ve been hesitating to take that dance class for a while now, consider this your sign.

Big brands are great and all, and we love a good sift through the sale rack as much as the next person. But when your wardrobe is crying out for something a little bit special; something, extra, we think the best place to head is one of Perth’s many fashion boutiques.
