The lively pedestrian streets in Perth City, Hay Street and Murray Street, become open air stages when street musicians and other performers put on their shows. Best during peak shopping times like Friday afternoon and Saturday. Get yourself an icecream, smoothie, milkshake and watch and listen...
If you enjoy the performance, throwing a coin into the hat or whatever the busker has put up is just fair!

Fondest memory: Outside of Perth -
The Pinnacles.
Yanchep National Park.
Guilderton.
Twilight Beach, Esperance.
Wave Rock, Hyden.
Cape Le Grand National Park.
And sticking one foot in the Indian ocean and one foot in the Southern Ocean at Augusta.
Monkey Mia, Pinnicals & Broome.
Ps. Often wondered why WA is full of 'Up' towns? There's Manjumup, Coolbellup, Joondalup, Myalup, Yunderup, Yallingup, Wattleup, Boyanup, Quindalup.
I could go on forever. Perhaps they wish they were 'up' ...... in Qld? Haha ...lol.

In 2001 Jamie received the Logie for Most Popular New Male Talent and Backyard Blitz won the Logie for Most Popular Lifestyle for two successive years in 2001 and 2002.
Jamie, originally from Manly in Sydney, spent much of his childhood in the mining town of Tom Price in north Western Australia before moving to the Gold Coast where he completed high school.
He spent the next eight years travelling and working overseas in Europe, Asia and the United States where he had a successful modelling career.
Jamie is an accomplished gymnast who has performed in cabaret shows as an acrobat and trapeze artist and with the troupe Manpower which he also managed between 1990 and 1996.
Between 1994 and 1996, Jamie trained with some of the cast of Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas and mastered a specialised trapeze movement, the Russian flying act.
In 2001 Jamie relished the chance to again explore the world of Cirque du Soleil and hosted the one-hour special Cirque du Soleil – Alegría for the Nine Network.
Jamie featured in James Houston’s photographic art book, Raw, which was shot on location throughout the United States. He has also appeared in commercials and twice been a Cleo bachelor.
His television credits include hosting Dig This, a series of short gardening programs for Foxtel, and One West Waikiki, from the maker of Magnum PI, Glen A. Larson, in which he appeared alongside Cheryl Ladd.

Favorite thing: Although there aren't as many bars/pubs as in Northbridge, the City's Center offers a lot of off beat restaurant choices with some nice pedestrian walkways. There are also a ton of shops with just about everything one could want, both practical and touristy.
Updated Mar 31, 2003
Favorite thing: Check out the sites and sounds of Perth City, including Hay St. Mall, London Court, Perth Mint. There are frequently very entertaining street performers in Murray St.
Kings's Park gives spectacular views of the City and Swan River not to be missed.
