Kings Park is one of the world’s largest and most beautiful inner city parks. It is rich in Aboriginal and European history, contemporary culture and offers innovative design, displays and services. Kings Park has an international reputation for scientific research, leading horticulture, conservation and public education.
Wow, this massive garden park has so much you could come back a dozen times and still not see everything. Extraordinary displays of WA's famous wild flowers, tree scapes, lawn gardens, fountains, magnificent views of Perth and the waterways, cafes & recreational areas for families & children, historic sites and the magnificent State war memorial. Serviced with easy access roads, pathways suitable for all, free bus service to and from the park, cafes, tourist information, top quality gift shop and toilet facilities. A world class park and a jewel in the crown for Perth & WA.

This is not so much a review as a comment to correct some misinformation I noted from looking at some of the reviews, particularly with respect to the location of the Supreme Court Gardens, and Stirling Gardens. The Supreme Court building sits in the middle of the Supreme Court Gardens (to the South of the Court and riverside) and Stirling Gardens which is to the north of the Court. Stirling Gardens are in fact on the corner of Barrack Street and St George's Terrace (NOT Adelaide Terrace as some say and as appears in the above description. I don't know how that gets corrected). Supreme Court Gardens are bounded by Barrack Street, Riverside Drive and Governors Avenue. Don't go looking for Adelaide Terrace as it is some distance down the road to the east of Barrack Street. If you visit either garden it is just a short walk to the other. Cross Barrack Street and you are in the Elizabeth Quay precinct, and to the south of the gardens is Barrack Square where you will also find the Bell Tower. There are a number of places to eat at Barrack Square and Elizabeth Quay. On a fine day both gardens are worth visiting, and it is nice to just sit a while and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I love the massive Moreton Bay Fig trees in both gardens. There is an enormous specimen near the Perth City Council building in Stirling Gardens and several other large trees down Barrack Street and behind the Court in the Supreme Court Gardens.

Not to big but a beautiful place to relax and enjoy. Especially on a sunny day. For those getting married a great spot for wedding photos.

Zanthorrea Nursery is a retail garden centre with display gardens open to the public every day of the year except Christmas day. Our focus is on Australian Native plants and creating a sustainable garden that attracts in the native wildlife.
At first the wonderland of plants was quite overwhelming, but with the help of a wonderfully knowledgeable staff member we learned a lot about native plants and found what our garden needs. So much to consider - light and shade, sand or soil, etc. Good job the native plants are hardy - they need to be, with us!

Our tranquil gardens surround Kareela the old Archbishop's holiday home in Gooseberry Hill, built in 1915. The garden has hundreds of field rose bushes with most of the rose bushes have their own individual plaques allowing visitors to identify those roses they would like in their own gardens. Come walk through our rose gardens and experience wonderful aromas and perfumes of roses. We are open on Sundays from 10am to 4:30pm and Monday to Saturday by appointment for tours & groups. Wheelchair access is available.

Wireless Hill Park cosists of a large expanse of bushland in the middle of Ardross, an up-market suburb South of the River. It has a variety of wildlife. If you see any reptiles, if you leave them alone, they will probably leave you alone. The park is carpetted with wildcflowers in spring. It also houses the Wirelsss Hill Museum

This park is one of the examples of great landscaping and perfect maintenance. Decent playground, picnic places, shared pedestrian/ bicycle road along Swan river, and quite unusual metal sculptures.

No-one is exactly sure what goes on in Government House, but it you get an invitation, go. The building is a fine example of colonial era craftsmanship; I have been fortunate enought to be invited to functions at Government House several times and it's worth the effort. The WA Governor is the Representarive of the Head of State. The current Governor is Kim Beazley AC, one of WA's most respected public figures.
