High tea might just be the fanciest way to spend an afternoon—and Perth/Boorloo has plenty of lush spots to prove it.

A list of places around Perth where you can pick up a real Christmas tree. 

From terraces, to romantic pads and upstate treasures, we’ve drooled over some of the most incredible views and designs around the city to save you doing the dirty work.

With its sun-washed tones and retro nods, Bert’s feels like it’s always been part of City Beach. Maybe that’s because, in a way, it has. Light, breezy and effortlessly timeless, it’s got the kind of ageless coastal cools that could belong to any decade, where salty-haired surfers drift off the sand and straight to the bar.

Third spaces used to be built into our daily routines. Cafes, bars, restaurants, pubs, communal gathering grounds we’d seek out or step through on our daily journeys, offering points of intentional and incidental connection. Slowly, over the last decades, many of those spaces have been consumed by the infinite scroll, community-building handed over to algorithms. Connection is at our fingertips, literally. That phone that’s never too far from our grip is packed with apps, platforms, and scientifically derived algorithms, all designed to get those brain receptors firing and release some endorphins, pulling us into endless cycles of dopamine hit-seeking scrolls. We’ve gone all in, all the time, on living online. 

It doesn’t get much better than cocktails on the coast here in the west, so we’re welcoming the news of a brand new beachside bar this summer, but this one's bringing some serious flash and flair. Tigerfish is bringing a spicy new Southeast Asian concept to Perth’s shoreline, and we’re here for it. 

Taylor Swift’s new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, comes out October 3, and it’s basically a national holiday for the Swifties. After announcing her 12th album, aka TS12, on Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights Podcast, the world of sparkles and friendship bracelets erupted into chaos, and for good reason. 

Perth just got a semi-automated pizza shop, and it feels like a choose-your-own-adventure vending machine.

The story of El Arquero’s naming sounds like something out of a founder's biopic. Mates sitting around the table in an Italian bistro, tossing around names, scrawling English to Mexican translations on a paper napkin. Until Adam Gilchrist —yes, that Gilchrist, of Australian cricket fame — typed ‘the keeper’ into Google Translate.

With spring in the air, there’s no better time to rediscover the beauty of our own backyard.

Daylight savings. The twice-yearly moment that divides the nation. Some of us cheer for those extra golden hours at the pub, others mourn the sleep-in they just lost (or gained). And some of us don’t bother with it all (looking at you, Queensland). Either way, it’s coming. Here's what you need to know.

Big moves are being made up on the coast.

There’s just something about pubs, isn’t there? The buzz of thirsty locals, the clink of pint glasses, the smell of chips wafting through the air—pure comfort.
