THE future of the Cool Breeze Cafe is secure after more than 1000 locals signed a petition calling on Bayswater council to let the cafe keep going in Riverside Gardens. The future of the popular coffee van had been in jeopardy after the council rejected a request from owner Georgia Johnson to continue using the…

CARVED from 500-year-old jarrah, Neil Turner’s work isn’t simply exquisite, it’s a once-living organism, influenced over aeons, long before white settlement.
