Watch the sun set over Cottesloe Beach:

Get up close with nature at Perth Zoo:

Who doesn’t love a good zoo?  The relatively small size of this zoo means that you can see everything in a day, but that doesn’t mean that there’s not a lot to see and do.  As well as the exhibits, Perth Zoo also had half hourly shows featuring wild animals like elephants, giraffes, zebras and fearsome reptiles; behind the scenes tours and a Shadow a Zoo Keeper for a Day programme; a heritage trail; an old fashion carousel; and so much more!  And all for a tiny admission fee of $20.00.


Shop till you drop in Harbour Town:

Shopaholics won’t want to leave this massive discount shopping centre.  From clothing to book, home wares to jewellery, if you can’t find what you’re looking for in Harbour Town, you’re not trying hard enough!


Swim with dolphins at Monkey Mia:

Monkey Mia is actually a bit of a trek from Perth, but this is something you absolutely have to do while you’re in Western Australia.  This beautiful dolphin resort is the only one in Australia that gives visitors the chance to swim and interact with dolphins for free!  Due to the park’s overwhelming popularity, you will need to book ahead; you can do so on the Monkey Mia website.  


Thrill seeking at Adventure World:

Adventure World is a six hundred square kilometres of fun rides, exciting waterslides and thrilling roller coasters.  Big kids will love this amusement park just as much as the small kids do.  Fun fact: Adventure World’s owner is a Western Australian man who lives fifteen minutes from the park.  I wonder if he ever does midnight roller coaster runs...
