Posted 2016-04-27 by Judith Wfollow
Another school holiday has just finished, leaving us with an autumn term to go through, drearily wet some of the time, making it hard to plan & book for any outdoor activities. That's one of the benefits of having a list of free family activities, you know. You can safely plan to go to an event, even when weather threatens. If the weather holds, you can cheerily go as planned, whereas if the weather fails you, no harm done, you can simply decide not to go and there's no cancellation fee to worry about.

** Piazzarama Northbridge
Sun, 1 May 12-4pm
Northbridge Piazza, cnr James & Lake Sts, Northbridge.**
The theme for the monthly Piazzarama for May is "On the Farm." You can expect Old MacDonald to be sung on the day, and other games and entertainment will be provided to your little ones. You can also expect two farm-related family movies to be shown:
12-1.30pm: Chicken Run (2000, G)
2.30-4pm: Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015, G)
** Behind the Scenes Tour of Shipwreck Galleries
1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, 25, & 29 May, 10:30am
WA Museum-Shipwreck Galleries, Cliff St, Fremantle**


We know museums display fascinating items in their various halls and galleries, but do we know what happened beyond that? If you are curious to know, book yourself into one of these free tours and learn how artefacts are conserved as you are led on a private viewing through maritime archaeology and conservation work areas. There are many days to choose from, so pick one that suits you and call 1300 134 081 to book your place.

** Free Entry Sundays
Sundays, 1, 8, & 15 May
Various locations around Perth**
As part of the Western Australian Heritage Festival , several heritage buildings/ locations around the state (which usually require tickets) are opening their doors for free on Sundays. This is for a limited time until 15th May only, so make use of the opportunity while it's here. The venues around Perth that participate in this event are as follows:
No 1 Pump Station , Mundaring Weir (12-4pm)

** Wildtime @ Subiaco Library
Sat 21May, 9.30-11am
Subiaco Library, 241 Rokeby Rd, Subiaco**

This is a special story time for blokes and their pre-schoolers (kids, grandkids, cousins, etc). But more than that, after an adventure story, the play will continue outdoor at the Theatre Gardens Park next door.

** Dog whisperer at Kenwick Library
Sat 28 May, 10.30-11.30am
Kenwick Public Library, 82 Kenwick Road, Kenwick**
Lots of people define their pet dogs as a much loved family members. However, just like humans, dogs sometimes have problem behaviours too. Luckily, there are some exercises that will result in a better behaved pet, and WA animal behaviourist Dr Garth Jennens is happy to share them with you. This is a free event, however bookings are required at 9397 3099
or email [email protected]. Refreshments will be provided.
