Australia’s sunniest capital city, Perth embraces a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. Explore the 400 hectares of Kings Park in the city or the inviting clear waters and spectacular sunsets at Cottesloe Beach.
Head south to the port city of Fremantle where the fascinating maritime history blends with an open, multicultural energy. Take a short ferry ride to Rottnest Island, a city escape for swimming, snorkeling, fishing and relaxing.
Further down the coast, you’ll find Rockingham, home to an abundant array of marine life including pods of wild dolphins that regularly visit. Or explore the north coast and experience the thrill of sandboarding on the endless snow-white sand dunes in Lancelin.
Venture inland to the Swan Valley, Western Australia’s oldest wine growing region. Scenic vineyards, produce farms, and art galleries speckle the valley, creating a feast for the senses.
Continue east to the country town of York, centred on the rolling vistas of the Avon Valley. Wander through living history and discover the town’s beautifully preserved streets and buildings.Kings Park is magnificent; there are so many areas to explore with picnic and barbecue facilities and their own different scenery and moods. You can walk around these areas or drive a car around the 400ha of virgin bush land, manicured gardens and brilliant displays of wildflowers during spring.
The foreshore areas come alive on a sunny day; extensive grassed areas and walkways with barbecue and picnic facilities attract sun-lovers of all ages. Whether you grab a quiet spot for yourself, throw a prawn on the barbie or kick a football around with a few friends, the atmosphere is excellent. Australia Day January 26th celebrations are huge on the foreshore with thousands congregating for daylong displays and fun in the sun, culminating in a massive fireworks display that coincides with local radio. Its a great time to visit and is the epitome of what Australian leisure time is all about.
