Kings Park - a park which is just 5 minutes from the CBD. Great views of the city and hills.

The Beer Hunt continues...in Perth, Australia
by Cabana_Boy
Wherever you go, whatever you do, sampling the local beer is definite must.
What do the locals drink, what beer is most popular, which beer is hardest to find, does it come in a half pint glass just like grandma used to drink…or better still, a full pint glass like I drink??? These are all good questions that need to be answered...
In Perth, give me a Middy anytime… I absolutely fell in love with Carlton Mid-strength while in Perth. I discovered time and time again, that this is a great lunch beer. Knock back a few of these for lunch and one can still put in a good afternoon at work. I also enjoyed the Victoria Bitter and sampled the Emu Bitter, Crown and Matilda Bay.
