It may be the heart of winter (although the weather can't seem to make up its mind), but that doesn't mean you should stay cooped up at home this weekend.
In fact, there are plenty of things happening around town this weekend, which often makes it hard to decide what to do or where to go.
Which is why we are here to make things a bit easier to navigate as The Pulse Event Guru Joseph Mosman highlights some of the most interesting weekend events.
