Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

Its a beautiful temple with intrinsic artwork and quite environment. Its a Shivan temple with all other deities around it. The temple is a little far from Perth CBD. There are a few routes. One of it is from Perth Underground Train Station take the Mandurah Line to Murdoch Station and than take Bus No 204 to Warton Road. Another route is to take the Armadale/Thornlie line and get down at Thornlie Train Station and take Bus 212 to Harpenden Street and than walk 800 meters. Its open from 6.30am-12.00noon and 6.00pm to 9.00pm. Its recommended to go in the morning since bus services at night are very few or to drive to the temple. Entrance to all visitors are free. Photos are only allowed outside the temple. You need about 1-2hrs in the temple.

St Mary's Cathedral is the largest house of worship in Perth. It began life in 1865 and remains the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Perth. It's in Victoria Square and it's well worth seeing. Conducted tours are held every Tuesday from 10:30 am to 11:45am. A modest donation is requested. St Mary's is built in Gothic Revivlal style, with an appropriae modern addition.

I had visited some years ago but a first for my wife. Beautiful structure in the English Gothic Revival style and dating to 1879 and consecrated in 1888. Since then there have been various additions, the Tower in 1902, Burt Memorial Hall in 1948, Soldiers Chapel in 1923, West Gallery and new organs in 1993. All additions are blended beautifully with the original structure. Internal treasures include the Baptismal Font, Statue of St George, the Pulpit of Normandy stone, the High Altar, and the Brass Eagle Lectern. It would be remiss of me not to mention the magnificent stained glass windows. Above all, it is a place of worship, a place to stand a while and reflect.

St Martin's-in-the-Fields is near Trafalgar Square in central London. Its namesake is in Kensington, South Perth. It welcomes visitors; like many post-war parishes, it struggles for numbers. It's a nice church.
