Cringe or classic? Explore Perth's recent past with an evening of engaging talks, interactive fun and stunning photography as part of the Lotterywest Boorloo Heritage Festival.

Taking inspiration from our Sea to suburbia exhibition we'll travel from the 1940s to 1980s, taking in the city’s alfresco dining scene, fetching fashions, the climbing log at Kings Park, and more.

If you think you know Perth, put your knowledge to the test in a round of Trivial PERTH-suit. See if you can tell your Emu Export from your Swan Draught, or if you know the origin of the term 'Sandgroper'.

Join us for a smorgasbord of retro images, stories and trivia as tantalising as dinner at Miss Maud's!
