Your guide to all that's good in Perth
Feature - This Month
Crow Books
Alan of Crow Books joins us for the month of February with a short Q&A about his East Victoria Park bookshop. Having set up the great book store Planet Books in Mount Lawley, he decided to move on and live his dream – opening up his own bookshop. Shortly after picking a spot, Alan put it together in the space of a few weeks, with a bit of help from family and friends, and Crow Books was born. Stocking titles across a wide variety of genres, including hard to source books, he takes pride in creating a community bookstore where locals can pop in for a chat and a book recommendation. We couldn’t agree more, it really is a fantastic place to browse and discover your new favourite book!

FotoFreo
FotoFreo returns for another year of stunning images and a meeting of some great photography minds. With the power to evoke emotions of both extremes, photography continues to play a large part in creative expression in Australia, and this year’s FotoFreo plays a large role in Perth’s photography scene. As always, there are so many wonderful picks to choose from throughout the exhibition, which runs from 17 March to 15 April. We know it can be a little overwhelming, so we thought we’d help you narrow it down by highlighting a few great choices, that are sure not to disappoint!
Shops
Effies Emporium of Guildford
When Guildford Road turns into James Street, you’ll know you’ve hit gold. Vintage gold that is! The main drag in Guildford is heaven for those who love fishing through used and vintage goods for the perfect piece, there’s a whole row of antique and second hand stores here that you can amble through.
Eateries
Fraser’s
Fraser’s restaurant is a must stop for the discerning diner visiting Perth. Not only will you enjoy an incredible meal with attentive and professional service, but you will do so with one of the best views of the city that you can get.
Bars / Pubs
The Rose & Crown
If you feel like escaping city life a little, head up to Guildford where you’ll find the historic Rose & Crown hotel. The hotel became a licensed inn back in 1841 and there is a rich history in the Heritage Listed building.
