Perth
Western Australia, Australia
Perth is the capital city of Western Australia. It is considered the most isolated city in the world. It is a large but slow and pretty city on the Swan River and by the ocean. Because of it's mild winter and hot summer, it is a good place to visit all year round. Perth is Clare's home town, and Rob also lived here for over 10 years.
Top 10 Places to See and Things to Do
- Go to the Beach: Cottesloe and City Beach are our favourites. Beautiful sunsets and clean white sand. Don't expect great surf though. You would have to head south to Margaret River way for that.
- Visit Fremantle: great port city of pubs and shopping, and the famous Fremantle Markets
- Visit Kings Park: a great place to get an overview of the city and have a picnic. Enjoy the view of the city both during the day and at night.
- Explore the city: there are free CAT buses which loop around the city centre (and around Fremantle too), which is great for hopping on and off while exploring these areas.
- Eat out in Northbridge: the place to go for its cafe strip and high density of pubs.
- Visit some Great pubs: such as the Queens and Cottesloe (the Cott). The Sunday sessions are the best in Australia - enjoy a drink in a beer garden on a Sunday afternoon after spending the day at the beach.
- Visit Perth Zoo - a well stocked and set out modern zoo just across the river in South Perth.
- Explore the Swan Valley
