- Kalamunda hike (3km) and optional brunch at DomeKalamunda Learning Centre, Kalamunda
Join Brian, Mary, Doyle and Rahul for a hike in Jorgensen Park, followed by brunch at Dome Kalamunda. The hike will take up to an hour to walk. It’s relatively flat but there are some small hills. Dome is 1km from the park, so it should take 13 minutes to walk there. You don’t have to feel obligated to join us at Dome or to get food if you just want a coffee.
==== About the trail ====
Distance : 2.7 km
Grade : 3
Time to Complete: 60 minutesJorgensen Park was the site of the original Kalamunda Golf Club, which moved to Forrestfield in 1972. In some places the walk follows the old fairways, and in part incorporates some of the Bibbulmun Track. A moderately easy, pleasant loop walk. The trail markers are red.
This walk is mostly dog friendly, however a short section of the trail is in Kalamunda National Park (dogs are not permitted in National Parks).

- Survey Says (Family Feud meets pub trivia) in West LeedervilleOtherside of Nowhere, West Leederville
I found this event on Facebook and thought I’d give it a try. It’s a mix of the TV game show Family Feud and pub trivia.
I have made the booking for 6:30pm and it’s a 7pm start. It might be worth parking in Leederville and crossing to West Leederville with the footbridge that goes over the train line.
## Event Decription from Facebook ##
Survey Says delivers Family Fued style fun from the guys who host our regular Thursday Quiz Quizmeisters!
Every week they survey 100 people to get you some super fun and silly questions to answer. Unlike a quiz night winning this isn't about who has the most knowledge.
Try your luck at winning a $100 voucher for first place or a $40 voucher for 2nd place.
