10 Must-Visit Attractions in Perth, Australia
"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…"
"Perched on the Indian Ocean’s shore, the WA Maritime Museum is symbolic of Fremantle’s past, present and future as a coastal city and port. The Museum houses several unique galleries that explore WA’s maritime relationship. From leisure boats and handcrafted sailing boats to commercial pearl luggers, the Museum inspires visitors to discover WA’s affinity with the ocean."
"The Western Australia Museum is not open until 2020 as they’re doing some major refurbishments, but the art gallery is free to enter and look around. The Cultural Centre is also a nice place to sit and watch the world go by!"
"Nestled in amongst the office buildings in West Perth is the charming Totterdell Park. The playground has a soft fall play area with a large metal play frame featuring slides, climbing nets, ramps, monkey bars and a climbing wall. There’s also ample place for kids to kick a footy on the grassed area and lots of space to throw down a picnic rug and enjoy a catch-up with friends and family."
"Varsity have been running the burger game across their six locations for years now thanks to a robust menu that offers something for everyone, including loaded fries, tasty wings, and even a few vege/vegan options. And while their menu selections generally aren’t too expensive when it comes to high-end burger joints around Perth, their special nights are hard to beat. Tuesday’s you’ll score their famous wings for half price, and Wednesday’s is $5 cheeseburger night – ooft!"
"Varsity has long been a favourite to indulge in a burger or wings, and all of their stores including a Fremantle pop-up (opening April 29) are open for takeaway. Plus their new online ordering system makes life even easier for you when you want your meal pronto."
"A relaxed neighbourhood watering hole, Percy Flint is very popular with locals. The tap-beer selection is one of Freo's most interesting, with brews from around WA, and shared plates with Mediterranean or Asian..."
"With a beautiful waterfront location overlooking the Swan River, 8 On The Point brings a modern and stylistic approach to Chinese food. The fine dining offering is a rich tapestry that nods to Hong Kong cuisine, while showcasing local produce. The Chaozhou style twice cooked fish with aged vinegar and dark soy sauce, squid with samba chilli sauce and premium beef fillet with Chinese numbing and spicy sauce are worth calling out, but there are so many more worth trying to."
"A Perth favourite, summer just wouldn’t be the same without Whisk Creamery. With two stores in Subiaco and Northbridge, the ice creamery specialises in highly embellished concoctions including topped up milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches. One of their specialities and local favourite the Taiyaki — a fish-shaped waffle cone with your ice-cream inside — is hefty enough to fill you up until dinner time."
"For a slice of delicious Malaysian dining Two Hand Noodle Shop is a Como fave amongst the locals. We highly recommend booking ahead as it’s always busy, thanks to basically nothing costing more than $15 and the one-way trip to flavour town."
