This month’s video takes us on a whirlwind tour of some of the interesting aspects of the Perth City’s urban and natural landscape.
We start off with a bird’s eye view from Kings Park. Kings Park is the largest inner city park in the world and with over 400 hectares of parklands to wander through, there is something to enjoy for everyone.
If you visit Perth during the springtime, you can feast your eyes on our beautiful flora during the wildflower season, which runs from June to November.
Perth’s Murray and Hay Street malls, and the adjoining arcades in the middle of the Perth CBD, are where the serious shopper will find everything from the latest fashions, fine jewellery, accessories, homewares and souvenirs.
There you’ll find the top Australian fashion houses and the two major department stores, Myer and David Jones.
With the addition of Wesley Quarter and One40William, this area is arguably Perth’s top shopping spot.
You’ve traversed the continent (or ocean), landed yourself in Perth, and decided to stay around for a week. A week may seem like a long time, but you’ll want to plan your time wisely to experience Perth to the fullest. The ideas below will allow you to experience a well rounded sampling of what Perth has to offer.
For your first day it’s a good idea to get your bearings for navigating the rest of the week.
Settle in Perth for a month and prepare to explore not only the city, but also the beautiful regions that surround it. The stunning, year-round weather and multitude of festivals throughout the year makes anytime a good time to visit.
Start off your trip exploring the city. You may wish to take a city walking tour when you first arrive or just arm yourself with a good map and a healthy dose of exploratory spirit.
If you can only spare one day to explore the beautiful city of Perth, then I hope you have some good walking shoes. With one day you can sample a bit of Perth’s metropolitan culture, history and natural beauty while enjoying the stunning weather that typically ranges from nice to amazing.
Start your day off with a delicious breakfast at a neighbourhood cafe or at one of the many cafes along Murray or Hay Street Mall. Ask for a recommendation at the place you’re staying or check out our area or food guides to find a scrumptious place to begin your day.
