The highlights of what’s on in Perth, Western Australia this week(end), from Monday 20 to Sunday 26 August 2007.

Also check out what’s on for all of August 2007 and the Perth Event Calendar for other events and please submit events that I’m missing. Have a good week! - Simone

p.s. I’ve added a heap of concerts to the Perth Concerts List this week (more than usual!) Make sure you occasionally browse the list, as I don’t always write separate posts for each one (there’s too many!).
