Libby Hammer Quartet under the trees at Central Park, Perth City

An oasis in the middle of town, the garden at Central Park is the place to be Friday lunchtime. It's leafy, green and cool, and there's fabulous free jazz for anyone who cares to stop and relax while they have their lunch. Loll on the lawn, or simply plonk down the shopping bags and rest a while. I'd love to see you there, and it's free!
