MetrO 1: Koondoola Bushland

Are you ready for the MetrO season? Our popular urban summer series starts this Saturday In Koondoola Bushland!

For those new to MetrO, these dog- and pram-friendly events are a great way to keep up your training over summer, enjoy catching up with friends, and see different places in Perth.
