"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.

"If you’re looking for somewhere for the kids to play, head to the upper level of the Market Hall building.

"Still a working commercial port, Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour is a lovely waterfront pier, offering amazing seafood restaurants, bars, and entertainment.

Go for a walk along the Fishing Boat Harbour and pick out a nice place to have dinner with a beautiful ocean view. You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to seafood restaurants on the Fishing Boat Harbour!"
"Snap the giant lobsters in the 40-metre aquarium, capture the sun setting from the jetty or just sit back and relax in one of the beachside restaurants with your phone at the ready. Make sure you checkout the J Shed, just next to the Harbour, with its attention-grabbing rainbow coloured doors."
