Ah sounds alright then, apart from there, where would be recommended to cruise in for a beer/meal of a lunch time/evening during the week?
If you don't mind spending a bit of money, the Belgian Beer Cafe on Murray St is a nice place to have a semi-fancy pub meal. That's in the middle of the city.
Not sure if you've heard but there is a decent metal gig on the 2nd of January, at the Amplifier/Capital. There are probably more things going on while you're here, but nothing that I can think of off the top of my head.
Got myself a list
30th Dec 2010
Vespers Descent @ Rosemount Hotel, Perth
w/ Advent Sorrow, Prescient and Desolate
2nd Jan 2011
Pathogen @ Amplifier Bar, Perth
w/ Dead Letter Opener, Chaos Divine, Malignant Monster, Vespers Descent, Mhorgl, I Am Eternal and Befallen
9th Jan 2010
Darkest Hour @ Amplifier Bar, Perth
pretty stoked for all of them, I'd stick around for the gig on the 14th but I checked out a couple of bands and can't really justify staying for it when I start work again on the 17th.
