One of the best cities in Australia to live.
Con
Isolation - If you're travelling to the eastern states getting to Perth is pretty expensive.
In a nutshell
More than wild flowers and timber forests
62 Reviews If you think that Megamouth is simply an opinionated sports commentator, then think again (he's actually called Sam Newman)! I am ambivalent about the Perth Museum - which is good but not great - but the one 'must see' there is the Megamouth shark. Megamouth is a large and extremely rare species...
106 Reviews Each summer Shakespeare WA present a series of Shakespearean plays in the confines of Kings Park. It's a great way to spend a summer's evening, take a picnic blanket, some food and wine (byo) and enjoy a choice of performances. Tickets for the 2012 season cost $49 and can be bought at the venue...
44 Reviews Rottnest Island - universally known as Rotto by anyone who's been in Western Australia for more than five minutes - is quite simply Perth's playground and the fact that it attracts 500,000 tourists a year (dominantly West Australians) speaks volumes for its unique combination of charms. Located...
16 Reviews Aqua at Hillarys Boat Harbour is definately worth visiting if you have kids. The underwater aquarium is awesome with huge sharks and stingrays. They even have a touch pool for the kids to touch stingrays and star fish etc. I couldn't get my young son away from it and he ended up really wet. Here's a...
20 Reviews It will cost you much less to drive yourself there. The paths around the Pinnacles are hard-packed. You don't even need a 4WD. Also, after Pinnacles, drive back to Lancelin, rent a sand board and sand board down the sand dunes. Make sure you park in the designated car park or your car will be bogged...
4 Reviews His Perth landmark sits on Cottesloe Beach and overlooks the Indian Ocean. The Tea House was build in 1910 and was designed to have uninterrupted views from every window. They serve lunch from 12.00 midday and dinner until late. They serve an a la carte menu which include a good range of...
C Restaurant, St. Martin's Tower, 33rd floor
2 Reviews The food and the view were both pretty good - unfortunately it's the service that let's C Restaurant down. We went on Mothers Day and I wouldn't say that half the restaurant was full, but it took about 1/2 hour before anyone came near our table, and that was after we asked a passing waiter when we...
48 Reviews Perth nightlife is growing as the population grows and the WA boom means people are looking for more places to spend their money. When i went in 2001, i hung out mainly in Northbridge, the main backpacker area and where the main concentration of bars was. Back then there wasnt much in the CBD. But...
30 Reviews Durty Nelly’s is a traditional Irish Pub that my wife and I happened upon during one of our city walks. I found it funny that there is a Durty Nelly's in Perth; there is one back home that a friend of mine frequents. The Pub has an outdoor terrace and inside there are several seating areas for...
22 Reviews One of the things I loved about Perth was the free buses or CaT (Central Area Transit) that operates in the Central Business District of Perth. This is agreat way to get around and a bonus that it costs nothing to use. Each bus (CAT) is color coded to indicate the route: The Red Cat travels in an...
18 Reviews A shuttle bus from the international airport, the only way to the city apart from taxi is $32 for two people one way. The other way is to get a free shuttle to terminal domestic and then a bus to town but thats long winded. The shuttle will drop at your hotel and depending on the route it takes to...
1 Review Scarborough Fair Markets are really popular – they combine a visit to the beach with a relaxed way of shopping. The markets are adjacent to the Rendezvous Observation City. The markets have various stalls from antiques, fashion, surf wear, tarot reading, massage and reflexology, books, rocking horse...
4 Reviews Australian Aboriginal culture can claim to be the oldest continuous living culture on the planet. Recent dating of the earliest known archaeological sites on the Australian continent - using thermoluminescence and other modern dating techniques - have pushed back the date for Aboriginal presence in...
5 Reviews Although the chances are very slim, while i was in Perth, a bloke was killed by a shark on Cottesloe beach, the main tourist beach! that was in 2001 in 2013, the siren went off as there were sharks in the bay and 4 helicopters circled keeping an eye on them. dont youre more likely to be killed by...
5 Reviews Kangeroos are everywhere along the roads if u drive away from perth city. It is very saddening every morning to see fresh carcasses of kangeroos lying by the roadside. As with all road trips, keep the driving to daylight hours only. Highways are not lit and kangeroos can jump out anytime. And i...
8 Reviews No matter when you are coming to Perth, pack your sunscreen. You'll be surprised that it won't be the necessarily hottest, sunniest day and you will get burnt to smithereens. For the same reason, make sure you bring your hat, sunnies and something to cover you up from the sun if you burn easily....
10 Reviews If you are looking for the finest wine in Margaret River, then look for Voyager Estate which s located in the premium wine producing region of Margaret River Our oldest vines date back to 1978, just over 10 years after vines were first planted in the area. When current owner, Michael Wright, took...
8 Reviews On our way back after visiting the Pinnacles to Cervantes we were attracted by a signpost to ‘Lake Thetis’. We took the turn off and through a rather bad gravel road we reached after about 1½ kilometres this shallow lake in a more or less dreadful landscape. Lake Thetis is a very salt lake, which is...
14 Reviews Australians love music as much as people everywhere else in the world. The invention of the MP3 player, however, is not yet known down under... [/nonsense modus off] The lively pedestrian streets in Perth City, Hay Street and Murray Street, become open air stages when street musicians and other...
9 Reviews Visit Rottnest Island... you can get around on bikes or walk... there are no cars just people powered vehicles. Crystal blue ocean surrounds this small island. Scuba diving, surfing, snokeling and sailing are some of the things you can find yourself getting the urge to try at this magical little...
