Best Places for Art and Culture in Perth
"Kings Park and Botanical Garden, Perth, Western Australia MorningTake a free city bus known as CAT (Central Area Transit), jumping off at attractions such as the Perth Cultural Centre (to see Aboriginal art at the free Art Gallery of Western Australia, explore Urban Orchard and check out the edgy exhibitions at the free Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts), the Perth Mint (it exhibits Australia’s largest gold nugget collection) and The Swan Bell Tower (the largest musical instrument in the Southern Hemisphere). Explore the brand new Elizabeth Quay with its waterpark, playground, and cafés and check out designer labels along King and Queen streets. Wander along St Georges Terrace to see the clever integration of Perth’s historic and contemporary buildings and have lunch at the multi-level Print Hall at Brookfield Place."
"Rising above the Swan River on the city's western flank, the 400-hectare, bush-filled expanse of Kings Park is Perth's pride and joy. At the park's heart is the 17-hectare Botanic Garden, containing over 2000 plant species indigenous to WA. In spring there's an impressive display of the state's famed wildflowers. A year-round highlight is the Lotterywest Federation Walkway, a 620m path including a 222m-long glass-and-steel bridge that passes through the canopy of a stand of eucalypts."
"Locals boast that this is one of the few inner-city parks to dwarf New York City's Central Park; it covers 1,000-acres and grants eye-popping…"
"Reputed to be Perth’s favorite vacation spot, Cottesloe beach is a wonderful spot to take the one you adore. You can swim, surf or snorkel or basically stroll down the coast, as an inseparable unit, respecting the Indian Ocean before ceasing for a beverage or feasting at one of the numerous spots along Marine Parade. Cottesloe Beach in Perth by michaelspencer"
"It’s one of the city’s most popular spots for swimming, snorkelling, surfing and drinking in ocean sunsets over a glass of wine, a refreshing beer or a relaxed dinner. Crystal clear waters and consistent swell make it a regular hangout for swimmers, body boarders and surfers, while the rocks and reefs invite snorkellers to hit the water too."
"Perth's safest swimming beach, Cottesloe has cafes, pubs, pine trees and fantastic sunsets. From Cottesloe train station (on the Fremantle line) it's 1km to the beach; there's a free shuttle that runs between the... Historic Building in Fremantle"
"A serene and sprawling public space close to the waterfront, Esplanade Park is great for picnics, sunbathing, or a spin on the giant Skyview (Ferris) wheel. There are playgrounds for the kids, majestic Norfolk pines, and it’s close enough to the city that it makes a nice respite from the workday, with local workers and tourists alike enjoying a quiet moment in the park before returning to the real world."
"Wander toward the waterfront stopping at Esplanade Park on your way. This large green space separates the Fishing Boat Harbour from the city and provides an excellent spot to relax and enjoy a picnic, let the kids play around in the shaded playground area, or take a ride on the Skyview Ferris Wheel. The Skyview Ferris Wheel is an unmissable landmark of Fremantle."
"Would you believe this small planting trees initiative taken by Fremantle government in 1908 turned out to be a scenic park?. Yes, Esplanade Park’s first plant was planted in 1908. Right now the park has more the 100 mature Norfolk Island Pines."
"The southern edge of the Swan River in South Perth has magnificent views across the water to central Perth. After Kings Park it is probably the next most obvious location, and justifiably so. The whole shoreline can provide scenic viewpoints, but I've focussed on three of my favourites."
