"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."

"Having recently reopened after four years of renovations, WA Museum Boola Bardip offers an insight into Western Australia’s social, cultural and natural history. Housed across eight permanent galleries, the museum’s collection of fossils, specimens and historical artefacts are showcased in an innovative and immersive format. Children will enjoy exploring the sensory maze of the wildlife gallery, while parents are delighted with the unique display of Western Australia’s live music, sports and entertainment history."
"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!"
"The WA Museum Boola Bardip is the State’s premier cultural organisation, housing WA’s scientific and cultural collection. A place to share Western Australia’s many stories. Our people, our places and our role in the world."
"Who doesn’t love a charming neighbourhood bar with a serious focus on food?. This is exactly what you’ll find at Young George, a joint that has a bar where you can settle in to drink great wine, cocktails, craft beery and cider before chomping your way through dish and after dish on the menu. The eclectic variety of food on offer by Head Chef Melissa Palinkas is a combination of bold flavours and global influences, and perfectly at home in the setting of this heritage building in East Freo."
"Relive your youth at the Young George, a two floor unique bar and bottle shop located in East Fremantle. Although their wood fire is an integral part of their cooking, their bar focused, globally inspired dishes are all produced using seasonal and local food. If ‘You’ve Been Tangoed’ or you’re ‘Just Peachy’, you can’t help but enjoy their cocktails all night long."

There are larger mains for those looking for a bigger feed, but these can just as easily be shared with others, so you’re not missing out on anything from the menu. You’ll need to book ahead of time, but this should be no trouble at all with Spritz Spizzicheria’s inventive online booking platform."
"This refined Hay St café serves a modern Australian brunch that caters to paleo, vegan and gluten-free dietary requirements.

"You arrive, panting, at the top of Jacob’s Ladder… you probably deserve a pretty good breakfast now, right?. Luckily, Mount Street Breakfast Bar is just around the corner. A limited yet considered menu awaits – think crispy falafel with barley tabbouleh and poached eggs, or crushed avocado and roasted tomatoes with labneh and za’atar."
"With over 65 cafes around Australia, you are never far from Dome. Dome serves a Big Breakfast dinner, a Pancake lunch or a Chicken Parmigiana breakfast whenever you want it. Choose from an extensive menu of all-day breakfasts, salads, soups, hot kitchen classics to decadent cakes or sweet little treats!"
"If you live in Northbridge, this must definitely be your go-to restaurant for healthy and hearty dishes. All the dishes that you can enjoy here are plant-based and lovingly prepared just for you. To provide the best meals, they make use of as many non-GMO products and organic produce."
"Clancy’s is a laid-back restaurant on the doorstep of City Beach, serving crowd favourites such as gourmet bagels, granola and breakfast burgers. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a swim before or after a meal – sandy feet are more than welcome!. If you come for lunch, you can expect fish and chips and seafood platters, all paired well with local wine and craft beers."
"First port of call on the Freo Crafty Crawl is a local institution: Clancy’s Fish Pub. When a pub has been around for this long while also amassing three sister venues it must be doing something right. Family friendly, full of maritime charm and spacious, Clancy’s is that rarest of things (within any given city): a classic Australian character pub."
"This 40-year-old steak restaurant in Perth is known for its cheerful American-influenced setting and great range of steak cuts. The signature steak is grain-fed beef served with signature steak butter and mashed potatoes – with, of course, other steak toppings available too. With a great range of cocktails and Western Australian wines, Tony Roma’s has it all and should be a must on your list of the best steak restaurants in Perth."
