What’s on in Perth, Western Australia, on the Easter Long Weekend 2007; Good Friday, Saturday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, 6 to 9 April 07!

To be honest, there’s not that many big events, as I think organisers of events realise half of Perth goes down south or other places!! Still, I think you should be able to find something to do if your bored!
