3. SWFL action

Round six South West Football League action will get under-way with two twilight fixtures on Saturday night.

4. Bringing the love

Perth rockers The Love Junkies will play new material when the band returns to the Prince of Wales Hotel on Thursday.

5. Something fishy

A quirky exhibition will have audiences entertained when it has its official opening at the Bunbury Regional Art Galleries on Friday night. So Long and Thanks for All the Fish features six artists who have called the South West home at some point in their lives. The opening begins at 6pm and the exhibition includes a number of different artistic styles, with influences from Bunbury’s relationship with water.

6. Spirited connections

Medium Deb Webber will try to connect people with their loved ones in spirit at the Lord Forrest Hotel on Friday.
