Top things to do in Perth, Australia
"The Swan River foreshore at Matilda Bay - across the road from the University of Western Australia - is a popular spot for picnics and swimming. Parts of the grassed area can be hired for functions such as weddings, which is not surprising for such a pleasant setting. Matilda Bay and jetty"
"Whiteman Park has been around as a public space for decades, but have you been there lately?. If not, we recommend a little trip to this Perth institution, located just 30km out of town and guaranteed to take at least a full day to tackle. Set within 4000 hectares of natural bushland, entry is free to explore picnic grounds, playgrounds, bushwalking trails, craft villages and two different dog parks!"
"Whiteman Park is a unique recreation and conservation reserve that covers nearly 4,000 hectares of natural bushland and leisure facilities in Perth’s northern suburbs. Whiteman Park is full of fun and interesting things to do with the kids, every day of the year, and school holidays are no different!. When was the last time you selfied with a koala?"
"The last thing children think they want to do on their holidays is learn, but luckily, Whiteman Park is as fun as it is educational. Caversham Wildlife Park, the Children's Forest and the Woodland Reserve will all teach them the importance of protecting the environment. Is your child passionate about cars?"

"When the husband and wife team behind super popular food truck Comida do Sul opened Madalena’s back in the tail end of 2018 , it was no surprise that it became one of the most talked about restaurants in Perth, and Australia at large. This relaxed boteco has a menu that celebrates local seafood, as well as a wine list curated in conjunction with the guys at Wise Child. You’d think you were on the beach in Barcelona if it wasn’t so classically Perth."
"This is what makes Madalena’s Bar one of the best fine dine-in restaurant in Perth. This restaurant has a suits-and-satin inner-city exclusivity but it is quite difficult to get a seat in this place, particularly at peak times. Getting a seat at this place is near to impossible when it comes to the busiest hours."
