No visit to Perth is complete without a swim and a sunset at Cottesloe Beach - locals just call it "Cott".

Hand-feed kangaroos, meet a wombat and get your koala photo, all in one day at Caversham Wildlife Park.

Start where Perth meets the river - Elizabeth Quay is the city's waterfront playground for dining, art and ferry rides.

Some of Perth's most iconic skyline views aren't in the city - they're across the water on the South Perth foreshore.

Set aside a morning for Kings Park - 400 hectares of bushland, gardens and city views, free and open 24 hours.
