PERTH &
SURROUNDS
Perth is the perfect outdoor city boasting
glorious weather, a variety of beautiful parks,
endless beaches and natural bushland. Its
heart is bustling with restaurants, shopping
and cultural spaces. Murray and Hay Street
Malls are where you’ll find a range of stores
and cafés. Seek out the bar scene tucked
away in Perth’s laneways or enjoy a meal
at Elizabeth Quay. Explore Kings Park with
over 400 hectares of gardens and bushlands
or sample delicious wines in the Swan
Valley. Perth has 19 beautifully clean and
uncrowded beaches. From iconic Cottesloe
to the surf hotspot of Scarborough, you’re
sure to find a spot to soak up the sun.
Fremantle blends the old with the new. Take
in the classic colonial architecture or sip your
coffee along the Cappuccino Strip.
