My weekly summary with the highlights of what’s on in Perth, Western Australia this week; Monday 25 December 2006 to Monday 1 January 2007. Check out my Event Calendar for more!
Merry Christmas and have a great and enjoyable 2007! :D
Funnily enough there isn’t any thing at all in the calendar for Christmas Day(the outdoor cinemas are showing up, but I don’t think there’s any showings on Christmas Day). So I hope you manage to enjoy yourselves with either family, friends, partners, the tv, the radio, the internet, the outdoors (it’s going to be hot!)….!!
