The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) is located in the Perth Cultural Centre precinct. It’s a short walk from the Perth Train Station, making it convenient to get to. It houses the state art collection which includes Indigenous art, contemporary art and 19th/20th century paintings. After a coffee stop at Eilio, my friend and I headed met up with another friend at AGWA. It was my first time visiting AGWA. While it may not be as impressive as many of the galleries and museums in North America or Europe, nor comparable to NSW Art Gallery which I recently visited on my trip to Sydney. It is still great to see investment and support given to AGWA, injecting Perth with art and culture.
Say hello to Eillo in Northbridge
On my way to the Art Gallery of Western Australia last weekend, my friend and I stumbled upon a neat little cafe called Eillo. This gorgeous narrow little coffee house opened up along William St in Northbridge earlier this year. As we only had time for coffee, we didn’t get to try any of the delicious looking pastries in on display (Cruffin, a croissant and a muffin!) nor any of the toasties on the menu. The coffee used by Eillo is from Perth’s own Micrology Coffee Roasters.
Celebrating Chinese New Year, the year of the Monkey
In the coming months, I’ll be digging into my archive of images and sharing images that haven’t see the light of day. I’m kicking off the Into The Archives series with some of my favourite photos from my family trip to Malaysia for Chinese New Year earlier this year.
Breakfast at Satchmo Cafe, North Perth
Satchmo Cafe is a little hidden gem in North Perth. It’s been on my to-eat list for a little while now but I didn’t have an excuse to check it out until the Sunday just past. As my friend and I had separate commitments after mid morning, we decided on an early breakfast catch up before the Sunday brunch crowd hit. If I wasn’t looking for the cafe, I would have easily missed it! Given it was early in the morning, there were plenty of parking spots out the front which is a lovely bonus.
Thoughts on shopping from an emerging minimalist
Shopping and minimalism. You’re probably thinking, these two concepts must be polar opposite. Being a minimalist must mean not shopping for new things ever. I’ve never been one to subscribe to the notion of retail therapy. If I have to classify myself, I’m someone who is an intentional shopper. I not someone who finds joy in the act of shopping or window shopping. Generally speaking, I only shop if I have something I’m looking to buy and it’ll often be for a purpose.
