Just under a five - hour flight, the friendly environment of Western Australia's capital city Perth beckons with extraordinary experiences from the beautiful city built around the Swan River to the many beaches and vineyards just 30 minutes away. For first-timers, a visit to the world's largest Inner city park, King Park and Botanic Gardens, is a must including the Swan Bell Tower at Barrack Square, followed by a cruise on the beautiful Swan River. Nightlife and the dining scene are just as thriving as the music and arts scene. For a charming historic experience, mosey onto the port city of Fremantle, famous for its weekend markets and fish & chips. Located only 30 minutes east of Perth, the Swan Valley is WA's oldest wine region and home to over 150 places to eat and drink.
Driving down from Perth is a sumptuous smorgasboard of extraordinary experiences from tasty fare and outstanding vineyards to stunning drives, golden beaches and other scenic attractions.
Busselton, 3 hours away, is know for its longest jetty at 1.8km long in the Southern Hemisphere and Underwater Observatory. At the premier wine region of Margaret River, visit cellardoors like Vasse Felix, Lamont's & Howard Park. Learn to make your own wines from the local winemakers. Then pick up a supply of local cheeses, fudge, olives and other produce.
Among the tingle forests of Walpole, the first walk trail of its kind was created to allow people to experience the majesty of these incredible trees. At 600 metres long and 40 metres off the ground, the tree top walk has been designed to minimise impact on the forest itself. And yet, the experience leaves a deep impression on all who walk it.
