Pack a picnic for Kings Park

King’s Park is one of the world’s largest inner-city parks with over 400 hectares of protected bushland and 3000 species of native flora and fauna. After a stroll through the Botanical Gardens, enjoy a pre-packed picnic or grab a bite to eat at one of few cafes and enjoy the sweeping views across the Swan river, the City skyline and the Darling Ranges. 

Take a quokka selfie on Rottnest Island

Just a short 30 minute ferry ride away from Perth is the beautiful Rottnest Island. Find locals and tourists snorkeling in the turquoise waters, exploring a network of walking and cycling trails, having a beach day at one of the 63 white sandy beaches, all whilst being surrounded by adorable quokkas roaming the island – what more could you ask for?

Did you know: Quokkas are known for their smile and playfulness, which has landed them the title of the ‘happiest animal in the world.’

Explore the Swan Valley wine region

Swan Valley is the oldest wine region in Western Australia, with over 40 world-class wineries and numerous breweries, cideries, distilleries and restaurants. Perth locals commonly sip and sample their way through different cellar doors in the region, which you can either self-drive or better yet attend an organised tour so you can indulge in the products yourself. 

Witness one of Perth’s renowned sunsets

One of the best perks about living in Perth is its stunning coastline with crystal clear water and gleaming white sand. Grab a towel and join the locals at one of Perth’s many beaches and stay on to observe a memorable sunset over the Indian Ocean. We recommend checking out one of Perth’s favourites - Cottesloe or Scarborough beach.

A Cathedral-like Venue

Winthrop Hall
University of Western Australia (UWA)

The jewel in the University of Western Australia’s crown, Winthrop Hall is WA’s premier ceremonial space. Since 1932, Winthrop Hall has presented artists of the highest calibre and welcomed many Prime Ministers, Presidents and Heads of State, including Her Majesty the Queen.

The cathedral-like venue welcomes patrons with a marble and mosaic foyer and vaulted ceilings. Winthrop Hall’s bright acoustic is ideal for choral and classical music with the added option of a more intimate recital mode. It is also a superb venue for formal dinners and functions.
