Winter had officially rolled into town on Tuesday night. It was freezing in Perth. I’d say definitely below 10 degrees and don’t get me started on the wind chill factor. Don’t get me started because a) I don’t really know much about it and b) in my expert opinion the wind chill factor was sub […]

I tried to go to Marumo last year when I first heard about it. A hidden gem tucked away in what had previously been a Leeming fish and chip shop, that was serving up amazing Japanese food. Now last year in May I had secured a booking for late November. Yep that’s how long their wait list was, […]

The Cabin is a restaurant along the Scarborough Beach Road strip that I have long wanted to go to. I finally got there last Thursday – woohoo! It’s a really lovely place to visit in wintery weather months. Yes I know that last Thursday was still officially Autumn but Winter was just around the corner. […]

Voyager Estate is a beautiful winery in the always impressive Margaret River region. It is easily one of my favourite parts of the world. It is a foodie heaven and is a veritable treasure trove of incredible wineries. If you’re a wine lover and haven’t already, then a day spent driving down Caves Road is […]

For as long as I can remember Rendezvous in Scarborough has always been there. It’s as synonymous to the suburb as the blue house once was. I have two great memories of what I suspect I’ll always refer to as ‘Observation City’ or Ob City actually because I’m an Aussie and if we can abbreviate, […]
