Hi Guys,

New to Perth (in currambine at moment) and was just wondering what you guys do or are going to do on Sunday, so we can read through the posts and go do it to, get the feeling im feeling a bit lost at the moment!!

Always used to do a sundy session in town at the local pub listening to chilled out music and having a few (quite a few actually) wines.

Might go down Malones pub in Joondalup as apparently they do a lovely sunday dinner and have kids entertainment, (we have 6 year old son) anybody been that they could tell us if its worth it,

Any (polite) suggestions very welcome.

Have you been to Yanchep national park yet ?? You can have a lovely walk around, see some Koalas, kangaroos, spot the turtles in the lake, take a boat out, go down the caves, learn about the dreamtime talks are on at different times. Take a ball have a kick around with your kid then go and have something to eat at the pub and a couple of drinks or their is a cafe there if the pub doesnt take your fancy.

Or there is Whitemans park with big play areas for the kids and loads of other stuf, dont think there is a pub there though

With your username I'd have thought it obvious ...

Take a few snags and rolls to BBQ up to Yanchep National Park. Have a kickaround with the wee lad or hire a rowing boat on the lake, then enjoy a couple of snifters at the Yanchep Inn in the beer garden listening to some great live music ...

Alternatively, come to my Collier Homes display and buy a house from me!!!

Credit crunch ... credit cards ... would you credit it ...

Now that is flippin' spooky!!!

Hi guys

thanks for the replies. Yep been to yanchep park many times.

Got user name because we got married there 4 years ago when we visited oz the first time.

Whiteman park sounds good though so will give it a try.

Oooooh thats lovely !!! What a gorgeous place to get married !!!

Enjoy Whiteman Park

A couple of weeks ago we got on the train at Clarkson and went all the way to Mandurah for the day. It's $8.40 for a family pass that's good all day, so a cheap day out. The bus from the Mandurah train station to the foreshore is free and runs about every 15 minutes. We took a walk along the foreshore, had fish & chips and generally a really nice cheap day out.

Usually on a Sunday my husband and I go for our weekly "date". We go to a coffee shop up in Butler where we sit for an hour or so sipping coffee and catching up on our week. Other times we go to The Boat in Mindarie for a coffee.

Hillary's Boat Harbour is open if you want to go down there. I find it rather touristy but it's good for a Sunday out if we have nothing else planned.

I love Sundays because you can't do anything!!(I mean things like shopping / working etc) Winter my sundays are taken up with Footy with my boys and summer Saturdays are taken up with tee ball or baseball. The other day left on the weekend is for chilling as the others have said in a park, beach (now it's getting warmer)
I would suggest pack some food and head for a drive there are load of lovely parks, bbq areas each suburb has them just look in the UBD and pick one to visit.

Take the bikes and cycle along the river there are lots of places you can walk/cycle chill out and watch the world go by. Your boy will love watching people in their boats on the river i'm sure.

You also have the wineries (but not this weekend) or Brigadoon before the water gets too low, He will love it there one of my favorite places.

So theres a few - as much as I love to sit and have a wine or two or three He!He! my choice would be to do it away from the packed pubs such as the Boat or Joondalup as kids get board easily in those places I normally find.

If all else fails - Gardening YUK!

Thanks guys for all those suggestions, will be following some of them up on future sundays,

We ended up going to Ocean Reef for a drive, went past Ocean Reef Social club and they had the first sail open day on, so we gatecrashed, had a couple of nice wine spritzers, and my little boy had a great time on the bouncy castle, free hot dogs, making giant bubbles, ball games, ice creams and a great comedy pirate show, all while me and hubby chilled on the grass overlooking a beautiful beach and ocean.

We were then told Mindarie festival is next sunday, so theres another Sunday we are looking forward to, its sooooo fantastic to be able to get out and do something on a sunday, we are well impressed.

Sounds like a good day ... and wasnt the weather fab !!!

It was fantastic, and Ive got a bright red burnt nose to prove it

Must get into the habit now of taking the suntan lotion with me everywhere I go, in England I always remembered the umbrella!!!!

I was soooo shattered, think it was the sea-air, or could have been the wine spritzers that I was in bed by 8pm

My next mission is to go to a yoga class thats started in Joondalup this week whats happening to me since I come over here I feel like getting all healthy and everything!!

My reasoning is so no photos of me looking like a beached whale in a bikini do the rounds on facebook !!!

Someone is driving a green Corolla around the Northern burbs with the rego '3 Legs' ...
