Explore Perth- Have Fun in Perth !

Are you going to allow Perth to seduce you into it's relaxed way of life or cruising Perths waterways , enjoying one of Perth's many beaches, taking a drive to a winery , Visiting one of WA 's great spots please let me assure you it is well worth you coming here for a enjoyable relaxed holiday in this  beautiful part of the world.

Perth is a long way from the rest of the other cities and has a relaxed feel as you stroll through Perth city , down the riverfront or even catching a train to Fremantle and wandering around the shops and museums.

It is a relaxed  city and we have had Prince Charles visit here and soon the Queen is due to visit Perth as well .

There is a lot of activities to take part in around Perth as well as some great tours if you don't feel like driving so grab a coffee and have a read about a great place to visit

Most people will arrive in Perth by plane as it is a long trip on the bus or train yet worth doing by road if you have the time. . I have been over from the east twice by car as well as a couple of times by plane .

I loved the trip across the nullabor by car especially our last trip here with the 4 wheel drive and caravan as it is an amazing experience driving on the Nullabour and plenty to explore along the way .

It would be an experience doing the trip by train across the country seeing the countryside .

It is only about a 4 hour enjoyable trip from Sydney and you can get flights from Sydney to Perth from $150 , the same to return or you might want to fly elsewhere .

Getting to and from the airport is easy as there is a good bus service as well as shuttle services and car hire so you are well looked after.

Perth airport is only about 25-35 minutes from the city and there are buses, airport shuttles etc.

Perth has a good range of hotels to choose from around the city , Near Kings Park or overlooking the Swan River  or in the heart of the city handy for shopping or you might like to choose a hotel by a beach in the suburbs for a more relaxing time .

If you are here for a very short stay you have hotels close to the airport for convenience .

While visiting Perth make sure you take advantage of a Perth ferry & have a cruise on the Swan River as well as catching a ferry to Rottnest Island where you will see the quokkas as well have up to 63 beaches to explore !

 Enjoy a browse through the variety of goods on offer inside the E shed market by the water where you can catch a ferry to Rottnest Island .It is also a great place to sit & have a coffee or even a meal.

A visit to Perth would't seem right without a visit to Kings Park overlooking the City of Perth .

You can get to Kings Park via a bus free either 37 or 39.

take your time to wander through the gardens , have a look at the beautiful view then finish off at the coffee shop .

There are plenty of beautiful picnic spots to enjoy around the park.

Kings Park is also a venue for many outside concerts and we enjoyed my first conert there by John Farnham which I loved .

In Perth city centre itself take advantage of the free bus services , The blue cat will take you down to the Swan River where the Bell Tower is as well as the ferry to Perth Zoo , coffee shops etc.

The other free cats do diferent routes in town. You can get a map onboard one of the buses .

Wathch out for the red yellow & blue stands around town where you can find out when the next bus is due.

I have only ever visited Perth in the winter, so associate it with rain not sun! But it is an interesting little city to visit, and I especially love Kings Park and the zoo.
